Time to hit the panic button

But then again our defense gave us a chance most games.  This year the defense has regressed to match our offense

What do you expect the D to do when we run the ball twice for 4-6 yards and then Bryce drops back on 3rd for an incompletion and we punt, over and over, and over....

Panic? We are what we thought we were. Most rational fans fully realized we were one of if not the absolute worst team in the league. 

Yeah.  I mean I thought we would see a play or two where we looked competitive but that’s not to be.  I definitely don't think panic enters the equation but someone on Mint Street needs to face a harsh reality though.  
 

I don’t think Frank Reich is a great coach but I don’t think he is totally incompetent.  Verdict is still out on Canalea but I can’t help but think the problem is just scheme at this point.  

Had to drive to Atlanta today so listened to the game on radio and I can’t count the number of times Jake used the word “disappointed” when it came to BY. Dude was being diplomatic because of who signs his checks I suppose, but I felt like he wanted to say this guy sucks so many times.

At some point Tepper has to accept the ego checking the league is giving him and humble himself. Until he gets out of the way and sees himself out of football decisions we are what we are. No one wants to work for him. Our candidate lists start where everyone else's end. If is what it is. We suck because Tepper has made this organization toxic.

Not sure if its scheme, but virtually every pass was some 2-3 yard crap.  Almost anything beyond that and it was picked or incomplete.  Personally, I think its just qb choice to throw so many short passes.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
