1.  Ruled incomplete pass early in game was bullshit and set the tone and allowed Denver their first TD.

2.  Refs called stuff on us that they didn't call on Denver. i.e. no hold on Denver cornerback on that Ginn pass deep in Denver's territory, but we get called for hold on Thomas in endzone.  Bullshit.

3.  We had our own self-inflicted wounds from the numerous false starts,  3 or 4 fifteen yard penalties.  Tolbert had 2 fumbles (1 recovered.) Cam had 2 fumbles, and that last one where he didn't jump on the ball when he clearly had a chance to recover really bothers me.

4.  That punt return where we had 2 men within 1 yard of the returner and we didn't tackle him and allowed him to run it back 60 yards.  

 

Overall a great season marred by a terrible game with bad calls by refs, and too many mistakes by our offense.

And let's be honest here...we weren't even supposed to be in this situation.  We lost KB before the year began.  We were down 2 cornerbacks, had one d-lineman playing on a broken foot and 1 linebacker with a broken arm.  

All in all we did the best we could.  At least we made it which is better than 30 other teams.

Cotchery should have caught that cleanly anyway.  I figured the refs would be slanted but Cotch was juggling everything and catching nothing.  Funchess is the real deal though.  Him with KB & Ginnwill be a beautiful spectacle.  Ealy and Norman I thought had great games.  Roman Harper is too slow to be effective.  Teddy Williams is a bonehead and should not be on the 53 man roster.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
