    Looks like we found Tepper’s Alt

    It's comical that you think starting a thread on an internet forum is the beginning a movement that ends in Tepper getting ousted.  We have a lot of cheeks threads, this one is high quality cheeks.  G'luck on your coup, lemme know when he's gone.

  2. The worst part of that game was that we officially went down 17 points at 1:32 remaining  in the first quarter, a total that we now know was enough to win the game.  

    At 1:32 already facing an insurmountable lead we had not completed a pass.  We didn't get our first completion until :37 seconds remaining the first quarter.  

    Every yard Bryce gained passing was essentially garbage time.

  3. They looked exactly like I expected. 

    2023's worst team with a rookie coaching staff, a Bryce Young QB'd offense, an overachieving defense stripped of talent starting guys that were cut by other teams two weeks ago, a team that hadn't played any real simulated football together outside one series against another team's second string that was opening on the road against a divisional rival in one the harshest environments in the NFL.

    Anyone that expected anything different was just deluding themselves.  It was only a matter of how badly we'd lose.

    @CRA I owe you an apology. I thought being super upset at Canales/the team for not playing the starters much in the preseason was overblown. And I still don't know how much that would've changed things given how much of an abject disaster this team looked like yesterday, but it's clear as day they needed more live reps together. 

    At least no one got hurt in the preseason!  We might have lost even worse.

  5. After preseason game 1 Dave Canales was asked why he played starters in Tampa but not in Carolina.  He calmly stated that Tampa had a QB competition and Carolina didn't.  "We know who our guy is here."
     

    I just don't see any scenario where a new coach with control over this choice would make Bryce the defacto starter after what we saw last year unless it was mandated when he was hired.  

    So yes, I think Tepper meddled by only considering coaches that were onboard with project Bryce.

    Not sure how much we can take away from the run game when they got down so fast. So I wouldn’t say the backs or like had a bad performance in that respect.

    I’ve been a Bryce supporter and I’m going to keep an open mind about it because he is going to play regardless so we will see if he can sink or swim this year. With that said, it’s getting late early for him. Just poor awareness yesterday, sporadic accuracy, etc. 

    Mingo is just awful, shoot him to the moon.

     

    If you can declare Mingo to be awful and worthy of ejection to outer space why is so hard to do the same for Bryce?  They were drafted at the same time.  What has Bryce done to deserve more leash or an open mind?

    Had to let my wife suffer on the PC today to catch her game (Giants).

    But holy poo did I suffer in the recliner. Ended up turning it off at halftime with a, "Jesus Christ, this kid fuging sucks."

    All Bryce had to do was not look overwhelmed. I understand that it's a new regime, but the QB looked like the biggest issue on the offense today. Protection + weapons were nowhere near as bad as last season but somehow Bryce was worse than he was under Reich/Tabor and that is alarming to say the least.

    It was one thing working with not having the physical skillset of other guys, but to not show... well... anything? It might still be too early, but that 62-sack rookie season might have broken any chance he had in the league.

    The only rationalization (or coping, as the unstable like to say) is that this is a new head coach with one year of play calling experience, so now we're going to get to experience those growing pains as well as those that come with a second year QB following an atrocious rookie season. If this is what we're seeing every week, burn it all down. If there starts to be some semblance of competent football though then the front office is going to have to set them up for success. That might not be with Bryce should today's trend continue.

    The kid can still throw more than 40yds and the folks pretending otherwise are still dipshits though! I SAID WHAT I SAID. c('.'c)

    No one cares about you acting enlightened after you’ve shouted down any criticism for months and actively insulted people’s intelligence for daring to be skeptical about Bryce.  Sure he can heave it 40 yards, just 8 yards off target.  You can keep trying to defend your terrible takes all you want.  I’d rather you just do the brainless job of embedding other people’s thoughts and collecting pie.
     

  8. You lose a team fast like this.  How hard and precise do you think your WR run their routes when they never see a catchable ball?  Sure there are some pros with pride like AT, but we have some other cats on this team like DJ that already have a history of getting mouthy about not getting balls.  An opening blowout like today puts a lot stress on an already fragile situation.  Canales pinch myself routine is already old, he needs to work on his second book… How I quit binge drinking TWICE!

    Literal nonsense

    Bears with Fields (no, our ineptitude bailing the Bears out doesn't make it one that worked out)

    Patriots with Mac Jones

    Steelers with Pickett

    Giants with Daniel Jones

    Jets with Darnold

    Washington with Dwayne Haskins

    Bucs with Jameis

    Titans with Mariota

    If you miss on a Top 10-15 QB, it screws your franchise for years trying to replace them unless you get super lucky before that 4-5 year mark, like the Bears with us or the Jets with Rodgers.  Those other teams have all been trying to solve their QB situation since those picks, and only Washington and the Bears seem to have found long term solutions since then, maybe.

    The problem is franchises don’t give up on high picks as soon as they should.  We had no issue walking away from Matt Corral quickly.  But because of the capital invested in Bryce we have to suffer far longer than we should.
