Bryce looks good and he deserves that credit but god damn we need to figure out 3rd and goal. We can’t be in shotgun in that situation.

I really don't like shotgun in short yardage situations. Maybe as a wrinkle here and there but for the most part most teams need to be under center there. Running out of shotgun in those situations is just giving the D a headstart and forcing your RB to start from a stand still instead of taking the handoff already running downhill.

Chubba up the gut 2x on the goaline is some pretty bad play calling.  He's not a bruiser.  Seriously WTF.

He had his best game of the year and has been improving lately, no denying that.

But I still don't see him being an upper echelon QB in this league though, especially with these hits he's taking.  Sure, give him all the credit in the world for keeping bouncing back up, but look what the continued hits did to someone like Cam, Bryce won't hold up long term if he keeps taking 4-6 huge hits a game.

With him improving though, I may not think he'll be the complete bust I thought he would be a month ago, I'm now reverting back to my pre-draft thoughts of what he'd become.  Around the 20th best QB in the league, someone not good enough to carry teams to true SB contention but probably not bad enough for us to cut bait and move on from him.

I said before the draft that I thought he'd end up being the Marvin Lewis of QB's, I think that still looks like his ceiling to me.

On discord we were pissed about it. How do you not throw the ball three times there at least off of play action? You telling me you don’t trust BY 3 times to get you in? This season is about his development and all of our previous play calling this season has told us we weren’t going to run it in like that on that drive.

The other part of this that gives you some hope with Bryce is that he's been steadily playing better despite nothing else around him being noticeably better: ongoing poor offensive line play, same limited receiving corp, unimaginative playcalling. So to think of the potential when those other elements come together (hopefully) inspires some optimism for the future.

Where are all the Bryce haters who said he’s too small and sucks? How many balls did the 6-3 Stroud have slapped back in his face today? 
 

anyone here who tries to grade someone after just a few games should be banned for a year.

He lead 1 TD drive against a meh defense.   Offense is still dogwater.  Nothing has really changed there on the year yet.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
