What the fug was frank doing there. Old boy fall asleep when he should have taken a time out?

Madden players call a time out there. Moron. He's a moron.

I really wish Franks's great grand kids would beg him to spend more time with them. Leaving to spend more time with his family is the most honorable thing a man can do. Heroic even.

There's a real possibility of the Bears having picks 1 and 2 next year. There's going to be a 30 for 30 about this trade 20 years from now and it's going to suck.

Frank Reich is not a good head coach. This is a pathetic offense from top to bottom. What exactly are they working on in practice and what are the offensive coaches doing to prep for the game? This is like the fourth year in a row where the season is over week 3. 

Who's the next up and coming offensive genius coach that we will bypass for no damn reason?

Frank's not going to even make it through the year, looking forward to Mike Martz next year.

 It's tiring. This team is just exhausting to care about.

What the absolute fug is that read option call

F'd any chance at points by pressing the "Ask Madden" button on accident.

Why measure if you're going to call it a 1st no matter what?

It's worse. At least in 2010 we knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, we don't even have that. So all the sucking is for nothing. 

Bryce is going to be a top offensive coordinator in like 2027. Kellen Moore trajectory.

They need to scale way back, they've given Bryce too much to process. Simplify the game.

Colts probably should start AR for experience purposes.... but Gardner really deserves a shot to lead the colts this year. 

If they want to win more this year, start Minshew.

He is better in the "now" term, he just keeps ending up in situations where the QB of the future lands on the teams he is on.

Caleb Williams, Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London sounds disgusting. 

Sanders as a Falcon would have the NFL execs salivating.

Damn, Gardner just came in and moved the Colts offense without any trouble

I hope he can find long term success for an AFC time, start a long time, and win a lot of games. Seems like a good dude.

If the NFLPA can't force the issue and make a change happen, then either:

1. They need to go to fully guaranteed contracts because players are risking a lot more playing on the fake poo

2. Get new leadership in the NFLPA

Players don't like turf, fans don't like turf, team owners who (allegedly) keep a pair of brass balls on their desk and have more zeroes in their bank account than a Tony Snell stat sheet love turf. Those dudes can always rely on manipulating whatever markets got them their billions to make back the money it will cost to better protect their teams.

In any other line of work, if a particular surface was significantly more likely to injure an employee, those surfaces would be replaced. Or, the employer would be neck deep in lawsuits until it was resolved. Right now the NFL is basically putting the players on wet tile floors without having the decency to put up the yellow "slippery" signs.

It has to stop. Put the players first. Period.

Is this the worst game Josh has ever played?

Rules expert for fox called it the correct call on the punt since both happened after the kick was in the air. 

Rules guy on Fox is basically there to to fluff the refs. He's this dude in action.

Deshone Kizer threw 22 what's your point? 

That after one game, one season, the cake isn't done cooking.

As a teenager (mid 2000's era) the Panthers had a HUGE affect on me emotionally. A loss would ruin my day if not my week. These days pretty much as soon as the game is over win or lose I'm back to my baseline. They are still my team and I watch every game but I think I have a much healthier relationship with them.

Absolutely this.

No, but it's really all a matter of perspective and growing up.

In 1995, I was 8. I wasn't watching football players, I was rooting for Super Heros who wore the best shade of blue on the planet. Wins and losses mattered because I was a kid and every week was a battle between good and evil. Losses felt like the end of the world. Wins meant everything.

Now, I'm 36, have a wife, three kids, a job, and a mortgage. I'm not watching Super Heros, I'm watching men a decade younger than me playing a game they love in the few years, on average, that they get to do it at a pro level. I want players to succeed because it can/will/should make a huge impact for their families. But it's different.

When they win, it feels awesome, but a little perspective has dimmed the passion over the years because there is roughly 6,200 things more important in my life than the outcome of a sporting event.

A lot of us are tired of reading your conjecture. Having 100,000 post doesn’t mean you’re right about anything. The coaching staff looked like what many of us thought. And Young was disappointing. You can look promising as a rookie QB. Today, he did not. 

Then ignore and move the F on, problem solved.

I don’t think Bryce sees the field at all.  I wanna see film to determine if everyone was truly covered every single play, or if we had guys open and Bryce just can’t see them.  That was an abysmal performance.  

They have to move the pocket and get him moving. Look at how Seattle used Wilson and see if that can help.

Of all things, I was upset with that the most. Go down pounding, not conceding.

Cousins throws like 4k yards a year, he threw 350 today

I would be happy with Bryce being him, but I think Cousins is overly cautious.

Waving the white flag when a TD could have at least gotten to an onside kick is some chicken poo.

I see more Kirk Cousins than Bridgewater. Cousins is cautious to a fault.

Bryce Young is not ready to be a starter in the NFL

 

His field vision is really bad, I thought that was supposed to be his ELITE trait?

Why is he the starter if the coaching staff doesn't allow him to stretch the field before desperation mode?

I honestly think him sitting and watching for the year could be good for him, let's be real this team isn't going anywhere this year.

If they aren't going anywhere, let the kid learn on the field.
