Maybe it's not as bad as it looks...

It was a tough loss yesterday but if we look at our 3 losses, there are some real good positive signs for this team.

1.  The combined record of the 3 teams we loss to is 12 and 5.

2.  Each team has a major win over quality teams..Raiders over KC; Bucks over GB; and Bears over TB.

3.  In a couple of the losses we were very short handed with some key plays.

4.  We we in each game...not a blow out.

The next few weeks should be very interesting...hoping we get some players back and keep competing.

We were without Samuel, CMC, and just lost KK. The fans in us say we left a W on the field and to an extent that is true but we we played a tough ass game yesterday against a stellar defense. It was an excusable loss, some of the mistakes were not excusable but im not mad we didn't win per say.

I'm not sure how bad it looks, in all honesty.  We knew going in the Bears had a strong defense.  The Bears always have a strong defense, but this year's looks pretty good by their own standards. 

If somebody would have told me two months ago that we could skip the first six games and they would give us a 3-3 for it, I'd have jumped on that in a heartbeat.

I said before the season began, the record was not how I was going to judge this team.  The fact that they have been competitive every week, look decent in areas that I thought they would be awful, have some young players that are showing real NFL potential, and have a coaching staff that does more than just fill out the starting lineup for the week is all good.

Where will we get a QB to go to the Superbowl?

Dude, you are the most negative set of seasoning I have ever come across on message boards.

We get it: you don’t like Teddy. There, you don’t have to waste anymore time letting people know that bit of info. I just freed up 2 hours a day for you. Think what you can accomplish now. The world is your oyster!

I like Teddy a lot. 

He's a great asset as a mentor and could be our next DA.

Don't you miss the security of DA on the bench?

I don’t. 
 

I like having a smart qb who makes plays with his head as much as he does anything else. He puts the ball where our receivers have a chance to make a serious play more often than not. This is something we haven’t had a in a long time.

    • Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.
    • Hey, tbe  first pro game for Bryce vs the first for Cam, nothing needs to be said.    EdIt/PS each showed us exactly who they were, first time. 
    • I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text.   Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.
