I’m surprised that’s all he yelled

Did Bryce audible to that?

And if he did, why. Was it allowed

10 second play and we still cannot get someone open down the field 

Chubba … right in front of him 

Need 16.  Run the route.  Pass for what 8 

smart.

Chubba is our best player on offense and it’s not even close 

All the more reason to have Miles in there not Chubba 

because you know, he’s such a great blocker 

What a putrid play call

You're not debating me.

You're debating NFL history. I'm just citing them.

How lucky we are to have you cite that for all for us 

thank you for your service 

2 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

I'm not citing my experience.

I'm citing what's happened multiple times in league history.

That's the difference between our arguments.

Thank god the Huddle has such a historian to guide us through these dark times 

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Because what you're suggesting doesn't reflect the reality I've had this situation has happened multiple times.

It only reflects what you would do.

As does YOUR experience 

2 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

Yeah, it ain't that simple

And if you've followed the league for decades, how do you not know how many times this sort of story has played out?

I do know

almost everyone in this board knows 

what I don’t  know is why you feel the need to be the ‘educator’ 

..,and many times, it IS that simple 

3 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

No, but I'm also not talking about hypotheticals.

I'm talking about something that's happened many times. I'm also echoing the words of other people who have covered the league for years.

Your only point of reference is what you would do, but you've never been in that situation.

Plenty of people ‘in the league’ thought  the Panthers had an ‘all star coaching staff’ and were a shoo in for the NFC South

you are not  the only one on this board who has followed the nfl for decades 

those who can,  do, and those who can’t, talk (or write about it)

Btw Bryce’s parents in Alabama gear today. Don’t  blame them 

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

You aren't an NFL coach.

And this isn't a hypothetical. We've seen this played out multiple times. The Raiders having to settle for Lane Kiffin is only one of many examples. 

Lol

news flash, neither are you   You aren’t a GM either  You are a fan like the rest of us 

The bottom line in life, everyone has a Boss and you gotta handle your boss in any scenario if you wanna succeed. Sorry   The NFL is no different 

9 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

You can't count on being rewarded for performing when your boss interferes in your ability to perform.

The NFL isn't like a standard work environment, but even in those, someone who has a chance to make good money while not working for a sh-tty boss will take that over the alternative.

It's also true that NFL coaches tend to be control freaks. Having a boss who interferes is a huge turnoff.

If you're a young guy looking for your first opportunity, going to an environment like ours could ruin your future chances.

Again.  Who are you hiring.  Are you keeping Reich. Changing the staff? 

ive worked for plenty of bosses in corporate IT who interfered, were bullies, were idiots, their egos in the way vs the good of the team and client.  That, is the real world  . Part of any high profile job   is  managing your manager.  
 

Not buying what you are selling 

we can agree to disagree.  But the whole ‘interfering’ ’ narrative to me is tiresome    I seem to recall meetings JR had with his coaches too.   Rare would be a billionaire owner who doesn’t interfere   

Again why defer every won toss 

starting fromBehind.  Yay

remember when we had a qb who could plow forward for .5 yards 

6 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

The best candidates are going to have other options. And even if those options aren't offering as much money as Tepper, they'll still offer plenty, and a better opportunity.

If you had a choice between a boss who was going to pay you more money but interfere in your ability to do your job vs another boss who was going to pay you good money but will let you do the job the way you want to, which do you take?

I don’t work for free.  I don’t work for self actualization

i work for money

so, who are you hiring  

perform, and Tepper will reward.  Don’t perform and you are gone. That is the way of Fortune 500…for better or worse 

he was extremely patient with Rhule.  I applaud him for pulling the plug  on Reich if he does.   Why continue this mediocre show. He made a mistake. Correct it.  Go on 

Embarrassing 

7 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

It's not a question of whether somebody would take the job.

It's a question of whether someone good who'd have other options would take the job.

It's like when the Raiders had to settle for Lane Kiffin. 

lol.  Ok

who is good ?  
pay your money and take your chances

These owners all take risks  some are luckier than others   Don’t want a retread, dont want a college coach, don’t want coordinators because many are better as  coordinators than head men 

all I know is they  are zero worse than now…the last series as an example of worse

Why do they always defer…it’s ne er done them any good…if anything they go down 7

Levis won’t look better than Young, Ejiro will have that dude seeing ghosts.

Hope you are right

Plenty would.  Tepper is generous financially to who he fires 

there are two sides to this coin

1. From Tepper, Reich was given everything he asked for..and he did not produce..if he didn’t like the expectations and terms,  don’t take the job 

look, I went to Maryland when Frank was there and Boomer as well, he knows this is a production league and game over game, there is zero improvement on what is his ‘specialty’.   That, is not acceptable 

What will be different next year with these people and the answer is nothing 

2.  the flip side, is if there was a force on the Bryce pick or insertion into game planning.   Again Reich is a grown ass man, in a tough guy’s sport, assert yourself.  Everyone on this board has worked for a bully.  Bitch slap back or leave.  If he is fired, he’s set for the rest of his life 

frankly, I’m so sick of Frank looking like a whipped dog.  Grow a freaking backbone 

Just now, Dorian Gray said:

Blackshear being inactive feels like Frank trying to get fired.

I swear to god, he should be 

you dint play favorites…you play the best players regardless of contract 

I simply cannot believe Blackshear is inactive 

all he does is make positive  yards on special teams and the offense and performs like he wants to be there 

miles sanders show (or not) today no doubt

Ah yes, Bryce is whiffing blocks and running slow and bad routes. Last game, when Bryce put the ball in Mingo’s hands on second down, it was Bryce who dropped the pass for him because Mingo didn’t feel “unlocked” enough to catch that pass. And it was obviously Bryce who made the OL whiff on their blocking assignments and the RB run backwards on first down to lose yards. Then it was Bryce’s fault the OL false started on the subsequent 3rd down. So clearly when Bryce is forced into a 3rd and 18 behind an OL that can’t pass protect with slow WRs that can’t separate, he should be a miracle worker as a rookie QB. And he should do that over and over again every game just to salvage some semblance of an average offense. This is all very realistic.

Offense looked a whole lot better in Seattle with Andy

…just a fluke right …

In all honesty, a fair amount of the third day picks get cut pretty quickly.

The much more alarming thing is we only have " two hits ", with one of the hits not being able to stay healthy and the other one having an alarmingly bad sophomore slump...

The problem is, even with the picks they chose to make that are still on the team, there were far,  far better choices available 

they invariably chose the wrong player    

…and that is part if several reasons why they are the dumpster fire they are
