That's fair and where I am right now too. Losing for draft picks and to justify releasing players is not ok.

I mean we all want Bryce to be the guy.  But it's so obvious he just simply is not that.  Nothing he has shown tells you not to continue to pursue competition at QB or just move on altogether.  

Who would want us to lose?!?  I want to win but also have a coaching staff and front office be objectively smart enough to look at the complete body of work and know it can be better and lead to more sustained success.

34-10 Rams

I hope i'm wrong but this feels like like a get back game for Rams.

We weren't really playing good football then either. We got embarrassed on Monday night football and lost jaycee to a concussion and moehrig to a nut punch before that game

I'm just saying if we were playing good football record be damned I might give us a punchers chance.  I just do not think Saturday is going to go well for us.  We got our lick on the Rams already I think they are going to get it back this weekend.  Would love to be wrong but I don't think I am.  I also think the NFL will try their hardest to get another LA-Seattle matchup the following week.  Everything is against the Panthers going it would be one of the major upsets in NFL playoff history I could think of over the last decade.

I think this game ends up being an ass kicking.  We had to play a perfect game last time against them forcing 3 turnovers on defense and picking up two long 4th down TD passes and we still barely won.  We aren't even playing good football right now.  I just cannot envision us winning this game they have too much offense and their defense is good enough to stop our offense.

See the "participation trophy" thing is not on point. As always, literally, it's all about math. Each team begins the season with the same opportunity and if it comes down to a tiebreaker, that means one team did enough while the other one(s) did not. Win one more game throughout a 17 game season, and you don't have to rely on tiebreakers. 

I get what you are saying is technically correct but winning a division with a losing record off a loss on a tiebreaker just feels dirty.  The NFC South does not even deserve a team in the playoffs this year.  I wish they would just take the best teams regardless of divisions but it is what it is.

We have speed in the room. We need skill in the room. All our "fast" guys are super low on skill.

Skill beats speed 95% of the time.

We need juice I get you want someone with skills but if you don't have someone who can separate the skills get diminished a little.  There is nobody on this offense that actually scares an opposing team not even Tet.  Tet is very skilled but the lack of breakaway speed makes it easier to defend him.  Tet and Coker make some great catches at times but how often do you see them make a great catch in space they created.  They are usually always blanketed.

There are “win it that way” or “lose it that way” scenarios in many games throughout the season. I’ll take it if we would get into the postseason by this unlikely scenario. 

nah man I ain't here for a participation trophy.  If we were a good team who has underachieved all year I might could accept it but we are a bad team who has honestly just had some serious luck this year.  If we can't win it outright I don't want it.  Call me a bad fan I don't care.

I hated the pick when we made it.  He just isn't a starting NFL WR.  Physically he's what you would draw up but he just lacks the basic fundamentals at the position.  I don't think he has any real trade value I suspect he will still be here next year.  The only WR's that are locks to me though are Tet and Coker.  I do think we need to inject some more speed into our WR room.  Or at least someone twitchy who is an excellent route runner.

I don't give a crap about the Falcons game if we can't take care of business Saturday I don't want to be in the playoffs.  

That sack is on Bryce.  Step up in the pocket and then he can hit Dowdle to the left or scramble to the right and extend the play.

This team put so much stock in Young they basically had no choice but to continue to stick with him through this season.  I think the way this season has gone it has basically confirmed he just isn't the guy.  Trade him cut him I don't care just give him and us a fresh start.  He should not be on this roster to start next year but likely will.  If they pick up the 5th year I will honestly be speechless and absolutely done with Morgan and Canales.  This is assuming Tepper truly will sit back and let those two make the decision on him.

My gut tells me it gets ugly fast.

I disagree on half of your assessment. If Bryce cant throw down field and their game plan was to stop the run and be aggressive with the short intermediate throws that’s on Bryce. What’s left for Canales to do? Per the press conference the calls are being made. Bryce is either scared to throw them or he isn’t capable of making the throws. For a 3rd year QB neither is good.  

I agree.  I'm not sure what exactly Canales was supposed to do Sunday.  At some point players have to make plays regardless of calls.

I don’t want anyone to compete with Bryce. I want Bryce gone from here, never to drag down our offense again. I can’t take another season of him on this team.

I get it but I doubt they are going to trade him this offseason.  I want him gone as well.  Just rip the band aid off.

What I would give to be a fly on the wall in conversations between Canales and Morgan.

100% Trey Lance is exactly who I would go after and bring in to compete with Bryce in the offseason.  

He would flat out beat Bryce out for the starting spot.  Not a doubt in my mind.

LOL

Wants dogs just to neuter them (Rico).  Canales sucks 

It is absolute malpractice at this point what Canales is doing with the running backs.  I don't care if you just paid Chuba or that he is a team Captain it is so painfully obvious to anyone watching who brings more juice to the offense.  Rico is more explosive, he is finding the running lanes better, and he actually can break a tackle.  The game plan yesterday should have been to give Rico the ball 25-30 times and yet Canales could not do it.  He failed his entire team yesterday.  Canales has an absolute poo roster but he does nothing to help them.  

Ehh I would pump the brakes probably need another year or two to see what he's really done for this team.  Last year's draft was absolutely awful.  This past one looks ok so far it really will come down to Scourton and Princely and how they develop into pass rushers.  T-Mac looks like a hit.

I honestly think this one could get ugly.  Unless I see a drastically different team than the first two weeks.

Falcons - 38

Panthers - 13

What happened to him from end of last season? Where was that Bryce Young?

Pressure and expectations were essentially gone when he came back into the lineup because of how bad he sucked prior to his benching.

they are back now cause it’s a fresh season and welp…

The bottom line is Dalton is just a better QB than Bryce and he gives the team a better chance to win.  I would sit Bryce back down now before he starts looking bad against better competition and dips his trade value in the off-season.  

The bengals losing last night really makes them desperate.  I won't be surprised if we lose to them
