Rhule: I didn't want a play run before the 2 minute warning... The ball has to be thrown beyond the sticks on that 4th and 8.

Just said this in his presser.  Said he didn't want that play run right before the 2 minute warning that led to the 4th and 8.  He said he'll have to get with the staff and figure out why that play was run.  Also, said Robby and Pharoah were downfield on the 4th and 8 and the "ball has to get past the sticks on that play."  He said he hasn't talked with Teddy but doesn't know why he threw it where he did.  Overall, he seems like he has had it and although said ultimately responsibility falls on him as the coach, he definitely implicated Teddy and "the staff," for these miscues today and mentioned both.  Hopefully, this will lead to some change because it seems like to this point Teddy has been given full autonomy of the offense with no accountability for his mistakes...  he has been making horrible decisions, bad pre-determined passes, and incurring penalties or lost yardage due to bad game management and/or audibles (such as the 3rd and 8 hurried play today before the 2 minute warning).  

Still have been disappointed by our team's regression as the year has gone on, but I'm glad Rhule finally addressed these things directly.

Then it's on you for A) having him in the game or B) dialing up a play with a shallow option.

If there's a two yard option on 3rd or 4th down, Teddy's taking it regardless of the distance to go. We've seen it time and time again. Dude protects his completion percentage like it directly translates to points on the board

I was thinking why are they running a play, now I’m thinking who called the play in? As far as Teddy is concerned, yeah on 4th down you gotta get the ball past the sticks, but there’s a whole lotta blame to pass around for this loss. Drew Lock damn near had a perfect passer rating....

Brady's in communication with Bridgewater, so you gotta figure he gave him the play.

If Brady didn't know that Rhule wanted to wait, that's poor communication.

Ya I have a feeling Rhule isn't exactly being truthful here.

They were trying to use the 2 minute warning as a clock stopper. It backfired on them. "nuff Said.

Everyone is just pointing fingers but truth is it’s everyone’s fault. This team is just bad in every way.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
