Well, worse.  Much worse.  Fix the o line fast, or we're heading for another top 3 pick. 

But let's see how fast people start blaming Reich, and not just the fact this franchise has proven time and time again it can't hire worth a damn.  We've never had back to back winning seasons for nothing.  It's an organizational problem. And fug Tepper.

Can’t walk away feeling good.

pretty crazy how all it took was one half of it pre-season football for fans to go from, we’ve finally fixed the o line to a 4 alarm fire.

Felt like more of the same overall and i don’t recall a single positive thing that happened on the offense that made me feel different than years past.

but I’m hopeful we will get better, but I still think we’re a 6 win team.

I know the preseason ritual. Laugh at those who panic, it’s cool to not give a fug because it doesn’t count. We’re the only team that didn’t score a single point so far this preseason. Anyone who thinks everything will magically be fine in three weeks or so is delusional. Yes some starters were missing on defense but that 3-4 needs work. And for the offensive line, forget scheme and game planning, those dudes had no heart out there. Moton looked like dogshit during his reps.  I’m not panicking but I also know we’re no where close to ready.

Learning curve season.  Fix defense next off season then make run in 2024. 

 

I think it's nuts to expect playoffs this year

If we were in the AFC east I would agree but why is it nuts to think we can not win over the falcons, saints and bucs who all were below 500 last year and Brady retired

Hear hear.  
 

Silver lining. Maybe the arse kicking will finally put a stop to the media and social media hype and these mothf’ers can put their heads down and work.

Last year was a complete aberration.   The saints and Falcons got significantly better.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
