So I was smart and decided to go to the pumpkin patch with the family on the Sunday we played the Giants. I checked in on the game routinely and was able to chuckle in disbelief at what was going on - but my mental health was spared for an afternoon and I was truly able to enjoy my weekend. Needless to say, after that loss - I had the team written off and it was freeing. I wasn't depressed or really upset - I was completely comfortable and I knew I would not put another ounce of emotion into the team. For all intents and purposes, we were gearing up for the draft at that point.
NYG loss = Apathy

But somehow our .500 record and a win against a terrible Atlanta team kept a glimmer of hope alive inside me somewhere. I foolishly went into the game against the Pats thinking Darnold just might be able to game-manage us into a win if our defense played well. Looking back - I'm sure if I my eyes witnessed the Giants game - I would have known Darnold was reliable as a wet cardboard box... After the Pats game - I probably was feeling like a lot of you: my mouth agape while staring back at the wake of sh!t streaks this staff had just dragged across the living room carpet. Releasing Cam, signing Teddy, trading for Darnold, picking up his 5th year option, and so on.. My emotions were at an all-time low with this team.. However, I was not hurting.. I was angry and upset but there was no real pain. I was clear in my convictions of the staff and decision makers from top to bottom.
NE loss = Anger

Fast forward to signing Cam. I had off work for Veterans Day and was running errands and hadn't heard that we were toying with bringing him in - I just got the news right as we signed him. I don't believe I have felt that much joy in quite some time. To then back that up with the win in ARZ and the way it all went down. Then to have the buildup for a homecoming of a lifetime.. but walk out with a "L" is just.. The feelings are very raw and it hurts 100x more than the other 2 weeks.. I went on a walk after the game and tried to process it all.. Putting so much stock into something I have ZERO control over.. It seems so silly but I'm sure a lot of ya'll can relate..
WFT loss = Hurt

 

Anyways - I'm just venting and thought how weird it was after 3 losses from the same team to have such a vast difference in emotions afterwards.. Some huddlers might feel inclined to call me a b!tch or to "suck it up - it's just a game" = I hear you 100%.. noted.. I just wanted to get this out and move onto Miami..

After we lost 3 in a row my emotions went right back to where they were last year. Anger and disbelief. After each loss I think to my self. The coaches must watch the tape. It’s blatantly obvious what our issues are and yet every loss is the same fuging thing. 
 

We are coming up on 2 years with this staff and none of them have adjusted or fixed any of their glaring issues.

For me, Giants hurt, NE was pure apathy, and this WFT was the most infuriating loss I can remember in years because it set our team back 2 years.  good bye fans.  why the fug would fans go to the stadium, spend hundreds of dollars just to be pissed off and embarrassed by a guy who should be sackin groceries and a retread shithead ex coach whos only descernable talent is to ruin everyone in the carolinas days even when he no longer is here.  want to kill any momentum we had, well Matt rhule and that pathetic and worthless defensive showing just did it.  Prepared for our stadium to be over run by any and every visiting fanbase for the next few years.

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
