I suspect that second INT was Bryce trying to bait Bates.

I don't have the all-22, but for the second interception, I have a very strong feeling it may have been a lazy route by the receiver there. He probably should've come back to the ball more.

More speculative at this point until I check out the film. I'm of the opinion Young just needs more reps with his receivers and understanding their deficiencies and tendencies moreso than blaming Bryce himself.

Did people forget that Joe Burrow, the highest paid player in NFL history only threw for 82 yards? And our fanbase choose to bash on a rookie QB who is making his first NFL start. Bryce showed a lot of poise yesterday and wasn't rattled even after throwing 2 INTs. I'm more concerned that there wasn't a real sense of urgency into the 4th quarter from the coaching staff and play calling. Expecting Bryce to take over and deliver a 2 score come from behind 4th quarter win is tough. The team needs to play well and score from the beginning to help him protect a lead, not come from behind. Overall Bryce showed me all that I expected from a rookie QB.

Well done lad. @Zod@Jeremy Igo should put this on Facebook or something 

The poster should take Darin Gantt's job. This is the best and truly honest game summary that I've seen in a very long time. That's the game I watched and came away thinking the same thing. Get this man, woman, or who/whatever, a media pass asap!

From what I recall (didn’t rewatch it) Bryce threw directly to the S. He just didn’t see him. That’s the one I put squarely on Bryce. The first one was partially Bryce and partially just a great play by the S. Very pleased overall by Bryce, especially after what we’ve endured the past few years.  Stats might not show it, but you could see a huge difference between what he was doing and anyone we’ve had since Cam got injured.

That wasn't the point. You compared young to Burrow. 1 is injured 1 isn't. That's all I'm saying

Burrow is listed as healthy. If he is legitimately still injured then the Bengals are dumb playing him because that could really make his injury more severe. I think he was just very rusty. He threw like 4 picks week one last year and I don’t think he was injured then.

The positive was that in actuality we were the better team yesterday. We just killed ourselves with the turnovers.

I also thought that despite his stature Bryce Young didn't look that small to me. I liked that he threw across the middle, showed some escape ability. Hated the INTs but he is a rookie. I suspect that second INT was Bryce trying to bait Bates. If so, I actually like the arrogance there. I thought his arm looked pretty good, though I wish he connected on those deep balls. I do worry about him already being close to his ceiling, and that there might be something to him playing overly structured and predictable in that sense. BUT I thought he looked pretty competent out there. 

The offensive line looked great, and defense overall was very good. 

Sanders fumble is what lost us the game. That was going to be a TD drive. 

I am not 100% sure we were the best team. With the turnovers and shorter fields, it appeared like we were better but we just had more plays. Atlanta had a better yards per play, yards per rush and yards per pass. Per play we were worse but with the turnovers and quicker scores we had the ball for 10 more minutes and we had 50% more offensive plays. The Falcons were more efficient per play/rush/pass and didn’t turn the ball over. We had a rookie QB with less weapons, so I’m not surprised by the mistakes. I’d rather have Young but the Falcons may have been the better team yesterday not looking through panthers colored glasses.

No chance the second one was the WRs fault. Bates literally didn’t move until he saw the ball coming right at him. No chance the WR is jumping Bates on the 2nd. The first one IMHO was also Bryce missing Bates. In both cases Bates was in great position and didn’t have to make a miraculous play. This wasn’t a DB coming from across the field to make an amazing interception.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
