Of course it wasn't. The offense struggled because Young struggled. Anyone who watch the oline last season a watch the oline yesterday has to know it was night and day different. Was it perfect? Hell no. But it was good enough to say they were not the reason they lost.

No shjt Dave.

I've been saying this team is FUBAR for years now and held out hope that somehow something would eventually got right for us fans. But until they prove otherwise we are FUBAR.

I've stopped hoping Tepper has hired the right people. I've moved on from Young and now my focus is on the coaching staff and Morgan. What I saw yesterday does not give me any hope that they have the right guy. Until proven otherwise I still say he looks like a Pelaton instructor that is in over his head as a nfl head coach but is just happy to be here.

Probably because he refused to accept Teppers Monday morning meetings.

I don't think it matters what he did or didn't do in the offseason. His days are numbered as the starting qb for the Panthers. He made that possible all by himself.

It wouldn't matter if they had $150M in space right now. This season was over before it started. Uncle Dave ain't buying his way out of this mess that's for damn sure. They better start hitting on draft picks or the suckage will continue indefinitely.

This^^^^

I would prefer the stadium be empty rather than full of opposing fans myself. That would have a more lasting impact to Teppers ego.

I think the Lions would disagree with you on that. They won their game in OT last night with Montgomery running out of his mind. That was a hell of a game. But I do agree in principle that the RB position has become devalued in recent years. But the position itself is crucial to success and having a Montgomery on your team at a cheap contract cannot be underestimated.

Explain their performance in the 1st half. They came out of the locker room tired? You can blame Young for his awful showing but the defense has zero excuses.

I'm not about to go as far as saying plenty. There was enough to have a much better offensive performance for sure. But the qb play was just awful and didn't help what little there is.

He's probably still in his Monday meeting with Tepper.

I think it was really Fitterer that convinced the Teppers and I'm no fan of the Teppers. Fitterer had a hard on for Young going back 2 years before the draft. Reich had no say in the personnel decisions even though he says he signed off on it. He clearly stated before the draft that Scott picked the players and he decides who starts. That was the dynamics behind the scenes. So the drama before the draft is all for show. It was a clown show behind the scenes and was doomed from the start.

That has always been my concern with this selection. They supposedly evaluated the top 4 and after months of evaluation they decided to go with the longest of Longshots after giving up a kings ransom to do so. It was doomed from the moment they thought they were 1 player away. You cannot trade up to take a chance on a Longshot at qb when the odds against a 1st overall pick working out is already low to begin with. It's just doesn't make sense to me.

Scott Fitterer, David Tepper, Nicole Tepper and Frank Reich.

True. They did look like backups out there. There wasn't a dawg among them unless a Chihuahua counts.

It worked when Capers was our coach. But you have to have the LB's suited for it. Unfortunately, the current team doesn't.

And it wasn't planned. That's the sad part.

I tell you its that black cat mascot. Sir Purr is to blame for all of this.

Well, that's a wrap folks. The defense could not afford to lose 1 single starter. After yesterday's performance I don't see any way this team can win a single game this season.

Both can be true. Reich was a bad coach and the entire staff that Fitterer put together was terrible. The qb is not a nfl qb and Canales will have to prove he can build a winning team that includes a competent qb.

Well he kept saying that they were getting the reps they need in camp. We also heard the defense was giving them fits. Where was that defense yesterday. I guess our offense made them look infinitely better than they actually were. But to your comments about playing time together, it wouldn't have made much difference in the end. Maybe they lose by 30 instead of 37, that's about all I've got.
