THAT WAS ALL JOSH ALLEN ON THAT ONE https://www.facebook.com/MEMES.of.the.NFL/videos/1317314010015858/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v I'm sorry... what???

I didn't say SB contender. Far from it. The D is quietly every bit as bad as the offense. The head coach is responsible for more than just the offense.

Bingo. At the end of the day, teams aren't afraid of Bryce beating them deep. They're treating the entire field as if it's the redzone. I doubt this play was about them preparing for that specific concept as much as it was simply about not fearing Bryce burning them deep. When DBs aren't worried about getting burned they can play really aggressively.

This shouldn't require explanation. Active vs. passive.

I'm generally not a big fan of head coach play callers. I'm really not a fan of it for inexperienced head coaches. Guys like Andy Reid and Sean Payton have decades of HCing experience.

So basically you shouldn't be out because on his best days Bryce can be mid-tier? Yeah, that's WHY I'm out. He's mostly terrible and when the season is lost he can be mid and maybe win a couple of games to tank your draft stock and give you false hope. That's not QB purgatory, that's QB hell.

Probably the strongest argument for benching Bryce.

Lord almighty...

A few mid-tier showings at the end of another throwaway season would leave me nerve wracked that we'd do exactly that. Tepper REALLY doesn't want to hear the pile on that will happen when we inevitably have to move on from Bryce.

Please tell me this is satire.

Lawrence was basically mediocre. He didn't do much to win a game but very importantly in this one he didn't do anything to lose the game which is what Bryce was busy doing on the other side of the ball. Don't forget that this game probably should've been 33-3 because we got bailed out of a pick six by an iffy call on the opposite side of the field and then scored a TD on the very next play. That was a 14 point swing right there

I think he has a chance and his mental makeup is a big part of why. I also think the Bears got a little complacent over the course of that game because the Vikings were completely inept on offense for most of it and once it started clicking for the Vikings the Bears couldn't get their head in the game and realize they had to wakeup and dial in again.

It looked like the same old trashy footwork to me. Bryce has never had good fundamentals footwork. He's always shuffled around square to the LOS and then once he sees where he wants to go he has to try to flip his hips and get his feet under him to deliver the throw. This was one of the things I would point out leading up to the draft as something that wasn't going to translate to the NFL.

Except at QB where they did the exact opposite and drafted a guy with none of the athletic measurables but just assumed he could translate his college production because super processor PG mentality, nevermind the reality that he'll no longer enjoy his team having a massive talent advantage over nearly every opponent.

You're not gonna turnover the entire locker room in the off-season. If you lose the trust of the whole team you're basically cooked. It's just a matter of if you get fired after this season or after another lost season.

It's cope from a believer. But if you drop the first and last 15 seconds or so he told a lot of truth in between he just can't allow himself to see it yet. It still has to be someone else's fault that Bryce is failing.

He's getting close. He's acknowledging that Bryce's footwork is complete trash, that he's not seeing coverage, that lots of balls are coming out late and not on time, and that he's still throwing up hospital balls. But since he's an admitted fan and believer in Bryce it still can't be Bryce's fault yet.

From the fan perspective, I agree. From a locker room perspective, you're gonna lose the locker room continuing to play a wholly ineffective QB. You lose your ability to hold anyone accountable and you're basically telling the locker room you're not even trying.

We all just realize that with Bryce the window for error is so small. Every missed opportunity for a big play is massive because there's only gonna be a couple a game.

Next year would be the end of his rookie contract minus picking up his 5th year option.

If he keeps looking like trash, we should try to trade him for anything we can get and when no one bites just cut him. $12M is too much for a backup QB with no future.

This. Honestly Bryce handcuffs and offense. Defenses are just playing bland, vanilla concepts against us because they can. They don't feel pressured to force anything. Just focus on filling gaps to stop the run and play tight coverage because you're not worried about the field being stretched and let Bryce make mistakes. I've said it over and over but Bryce basically turns the entire field into the redzone because we can't threaten the defense vertically.

There's a reason why proven QBs - even mid-level ones - get PAID. NFL QBs are hard to find and if you have one you can compete. If you don't you can't. It's pretty much that simple.

Peruse through this and it'll start making sense. Evidently this guy is dyed in the wool Bryce stan. It's a hilarious scroll. https://x.com/search?q=from%3A%40FantasyBandits bryce&t=aAeFPOsbV2dSTDCZXJeshQ&s=09
