Know who owns Mike Evans? Bradberry. Sure could've used a proven vet these past seasons instead of throwing money down various positional toilets.

Bradberry coming back would have elevated the entire team this year. Sucks that he didn't come home.

Not being close enough to commit pass interference on any of those plays was embarrassing. If you're gonna get your ass beat, at least tackle the dude before the ball gets there so he can't walk in for a TD.

I agree and neither player is equipped mentally or physically to shut down a HoF WR by themselves.

I legit don't get it. Is it a pain tolerance thing? Is it because he's young and doesn't want to risk it? 

I'd bet his father has an influence. This league doesn't care if you're injured. If you're on the field, then you're ready to play. No excuses if you play bad trying to "help" the team.

If JC Horn played, we won.

3TDs to Evans killed us ....all three were too easy.

Those two CBs are trash.

Darnold played well, not great, but well.

We had no running game...and man, that Vita Vai destroyed our inside more often than not...How come we don't have a NG like that?

You're right. And unfortunately, there aren't many nose guards like that.

The one person away was a good HC.  That soft ass defense is what lost, that left the quick out passes open all game, and then not putting someone over the top of Evans was just the icing on the cake.  That was an embarrassing game plan and situational coaching. 

Darnold had high moments and low moments, but failed at what I needed to see him be a legit contender for our QB job next year and that was leading the team to a win on his shoulders.  He had numerous times to do it but failed with bad throws, delays of game, and other mistakes.  He did make some really good plays, that escape on the second to last drive, all three TD throws were really good, but he also underthrew a couple balls really bad and one of those was an int.

The loss is 100% on Wilks and Holcomb.

Thats the thing with players, they gotta be on the field to play.  You can say all you want "If we just had them in the game".  Not a huge knock at Horn but dude has now been injured for about 3/4th of his professional career.  If he comes back and gets injured again I will then label him as injury prone.  If you can't depend on a guy to be on the field its no use using this argument, thus making it pointless.  If we can't win with a couple starters being out we have no business being in the playoffs anyway.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
