At what moment this year did you know we weren't the same as 2015?

I have held out hope until last night but what was the moment in the season it was obvious we were no longer the 2015 team?  I guess for me it came in that Minnesota game when they took the second half kickoff and scored to take the lead and we lost.  Haven't psychologically recovered since. We started off that day on fire in the first quarter but then it all fell apart.  Just curious what everyone else thinks.

Twice 

preseason game 3. Newton looked like he wanted to be anywhere other than bofa 

Opening game in Denver when Newton got his brains bashed in 4 times and the head coach said nothing the first time 

he can open his mouth apparently over a tie but can't say a word to officials about the lack of calls protecting his QB

Denver. When Cam took that one shot that Greg had to go check and see if he was okay. I knew it. Nobody defended him in the organization but his teammates. That was when I had doubts. I knew for sure after the Atlanta game and Cam took the hit and Rivera said he would've taken the shot too. That did it for me.

When we imploded against the Vikings, the Vikings were a solid team but something felt off then. I can tell you the exact play when things started unraveling. It was a Fozzy run or screen that got called back because of a hold.

I had forgotten that third preseason game but you guys are right we did look god awful in that first half. Certainly couldnt move the ball at all.  

The whole second quarter of that Minny game so much poo happened that went against us when we could have put em away which eventually snowballed to Tampa Bay which led to us pressing that night which of course led to lots of bad mistakes that cost us the game.  

Its also amazing how kicking or a lack of kicking changed the season.  Missed FG against Denver, chip shot miss against TB to end half, blocked XP against Ok. which made us go for 2's.

Would put us up 17 points but KB held when there was no reason to do so. That led to the sack safety which also left Oher with a concussion. Had that feeling that things were going to go against us this season.

Later on, many forgot that we made the Chiefs fumble on their last drive. Of course we can't recover to make that winning field goal but they did.

Started feeling a little nervous after the SF game, which we won, but looked horrible doing it.  Then the 1st saints game, when we laid a first half egg after looking so bad at Atlanta.  The Tampa game closed the lid on the season, and the KC game drove a nail in it.  

 

Fwiw, much of this season reminds me a lot of the first two under Rivera, where we played well enough to be close at the end, only to find a way to lose.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      I think his football IQ is well below average. I do not think he can read defenses at all. He is not the long term answer. I'm getting worried about DC. I think he has problems seeing the big picture for each game. Some people can't accept it, but this game is greatly affected by momentum. It's hard to explain but you can just feel his decisions break it at least two or three times a game (I think he is pretty solid when it comes to 4th down decisions). My biggest concern is this. You have seen these coaches time and time again. For some reason you have these coaches that absolutely will not go with what is working. We need a name for these coaches, what is it? If something is working great, they just do not have the intelligence to comprehend that something working is actually good for their team. They cannot understand this. AND REPORTERS NEED TO CALL THIS OUT. Rushing was insane for the past two games...ok let's take half his carries away and have Bryce air it out (look at the attempts he had). The reporters need to freaking ask "((this)) was working, you didn't do ((this)), do you consider that bad coaching? If so, why? If not, why do you defend doing the opposite of what it best?" Anyone knows you keep doing something until they stop it. But you have these coaches that think the are going to pull a fast one on them and do the thing that is not working. Dave is starting to remind me of that guy in the movie Kung Pow. I think his name was Weeblow or something, he had those squeaky shoes when he ran around. The Kung Fu masters trained him wrong as a joke, so he did things to get the crap beat out of him instead of winning the fight. I am going to start calling Dave Canales WEEBLOW if he keeps doing the opposite of what would win. But seriously, if he is going to be that type of coach, I would honestly get rid of him after this season. You 100% do not want a coach with this flaw...they may have one good fluke season but it will be years of terrible teams.

      I mean the Bronco's only won by 1, but no one there is complaining.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      A QB who can't consistently throw the ball 20 yards downfield has no business being a starting QB in this league. That is a backup QB who you put in there to manage a game when your starter goes down.
