Pejorative Miscreant

That looked like my fat ass in coverage.

I was thinking the same thing two third and longs ago

OK. Nevermind.

On a positive note it gives the defense a little more time to rest. Its hot in Miami and Im all for an extended break.

GAWD DAMN. Who are these guys in the blue uniforms?

Miles looks great tod. NEvermind Chubba!

I struggle with the broad concept of tanking. The belief that you think a group of coaches and players, whose livelihood depends on performance, will collectively lose on purpose is irrational to me. That said I cringed when people rant about coaches trying to win “meaningless” games. Games are not meaningless to guys that depend on the paycheck. However, an organization trading away assets and talent for future draft capital is different. The FO and owner doing this and fielding a less competitive team in hopes of restocking the cupboard makes more sense than the former. I can wrap my head around this approach a lot more easily.

I think you are right, however a 20 something Steve Smith worked his ass off and made a name for himself. A 20 something Smith would have also made it a point publicly humiliated said announcer and backed it up with good play. Jeudy is none of those things. This is an "ice up son" moment from the commentators booth.

It is a known fact that Tepper is an engaged owner which I think is good but I think there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that suggests Tepper meddles and I am inclined to believe this happens. This is a bad thing. The one positive takeaway about Tepper (I know its Huddle blasphemy to mention positive and Tepper in the same sentence but hear me out) is that he wants to win and demonstrated that by opening his checkbooks and taking big swings. The problem is he also seems to be the guy in charge no matter what and as a result is constantly shooting himself and the team in the nuts and all the checks he's written and all the big swings have been in vain. For this team to become successful in his lifetime he either needs to learn everything there is to know about football super fast, or take himself out of the equation and defer these decisions while still holding his personnel accountable. I believe the latter is the much easier and quicker road. All that being said, I still think BY can be successful but the coaches gotta fix a lot of stuff. Tepper is pouring Ketchup on his steak while the plays are being called he isn't running the football or routes. This might be a shiittty team because of Tepper but they should be able to execute at a marginally higher level and they are not.

I think the verdict is still out on Bryce and I dont think I can make a clear "judgement" until some of the stuff around him is cleaned up. Not saying he should have perfection but the offense, play calling and scripting we have done for Bryce clouds the picture in my opinion. I would say I need a full season to start forming an educated opinion and another one to see if it is validated.

I don't want to throw a pity party for Bryce Young. If you are poised for being the number 1 pick it comes with a lot of this unfortunately. I'm more inclined to have greater sympathy for guys like Zavala who are thrown into roles they are clearly not ready for. I think BY is a step above but still makes mistakes so to me the verdict is still out regarding his ability. One thing that I do hate for BY is that we have done nothing to assist him or help him grow. Receivers suck, play calling sucks, protection sucks and coaching sucks. If BY has this great processor, then it takes about 0.2 seconds after each snap to realize he is fugged.

So BY needs to buy his WRs new mobility scooters for Christmas.

Well said. I come in here expecting crazy takes and the over the top posts. Previously it was entertaining but lately it has amped up to a Tinderbox level. Maybe it is inevitable with social media but yeah, I can see why folks would choose to avoid this place.

I would be very surprised at a mid season firing but one would hope that Reich loosens up things for BY. I am not totally out on BY at this point but there are huge red flags. Some can be cleaned up (homer hope?) but right now the coaching staff seems to be magnifying them rather than masking.

At this point I am inclined to side with you on this and think that Frank has been a detriment to Bryce. I think they have scripted crap for him to a point that it is hindering his ability to perform and that scripting often goes awry. He definitely has some things to work on and there are many questions/concerns but it seems like we are watching the same game every week. Get down to or near the red zone. Team has momentum on the back of a good play. There is confusion, play clock goes down to 2 seconds and burn a time out. That seems to be a regular theme. They pulled Bryce on 4th and 1 and let Dalton do the sneak yesterday. Got the first down and I think the very next play he was in on there was some last second crap again where they were late getting lined up. That stuff needs to be a lot more crisp and until it is the game will not flow for him.

Mediocrity is something we should aspire to at this point

Per tradition, they will probably be in the game till middle of the 3rd and the wheels will likely fall off.

Having watched the games, this chart is about as surprising as a 1st down, 1.5 yard run by Miles Sanders.

Wrong. Miles only runs in 5 foot increments.

This ain’t cool either, Miles

Enough with all that rational logic stuff.

Only way to be truly happy is to be miserable

I’m gonna stick here in the huddle and read all the cool threads.

Theey can fake that shiit. You ever see that moon landing bs?
