It sounds like drops and the failed goaline offensive series killed us, il take that over getting trounced any day. I hate moral victories, but those are the only ones we can’t get, so il take it. 

4 drops on easy catches, 2 failed 4th downs, ref calls against us all day, defense couldn't stop them if their life depended on it, nobody on D could tackle anyone.

Somehow all that and still in it at the end, pretty amazing TBH. At least Dalton keeps us competitive, if Bryce was in there it would have looked like a repeat of the Saints game and been over before halftime.

I just really need the coaching staff to get on XL about using his hands. We can't have a body catching first round WR. 

Surely they are. Same way they were on Bryce to fix His technique.  I think the hands catching is easier to teach but it is the same principle; hard to retrain a long time habit.

Not pitchforks, accountability. I know you are his friend and all, he earned the criticism. Even when he was catching balls it was body catching. You have eyes. 

That response was regarding Evero as DC and had nothing to do with XL. 

XL needs to catch his damn passes regardless and no excuse for drops at this level. Maybe one happens on occasion but two in a game is inexcusable. Friend and personal trainer or not he needs to catch the damn ball and if he seen this post he would probably agree with me. He will get it together and show his worth but no excuse for his drops.

Apologies to you then.

Why haven’t we went deep to XL yet that’s his speciality ! Coker barely play and got one asap 

Because you can't be a deep threat in the NFL if you body catch.  You've got to be able to high point the ball with your hands.

Bengals were favorites despite their record, they have superior talent particularly on the offensive side of the ball 

Nah dude they have Butrow and chase not much else. Taylor is a terrible coach and will be fired this year

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
