i don't post here on the forums very much. i'm more of a lurker but i just wanted to get a few things off of my chest to maybe help get this bad taste out of my mouth...

it would be easy to point the finger at jake and blame him for the game last night but in all reality there was enough blame to go around. i'll list a few in no particular order...

1. like all teams we live and die with our QB. when jake is on he's really good. when he's bad he's terrible as we all saw last night. this year he seemed to minimize the bad jake sightings. the tampa bay and oakland games come to mind. i was at the oakland game and seeing one of his bad games is worse in person than watching it on tv. i can't imagine how it must have felt seeing his performance at home in person.

2. the coaching staff is supposed to prepare the players and put them in a position to succeed. WTF happened last night?

offense - the 1st drive was beautiful. we ran the ball and dumped the ball off short. they kept calling pass plays even though everyone could clearly see that jakes timing was off. after the 1st couple interceptions while the game was still some what close, why not go back to what got us there? the running game. everyone will keep saying the cards shut down our run game, i'm gonna contest that WE shut ourselves down in the 1st half. it almost seemed like the coaches wanted to turn us into a passing team overnight and if it had worked they would've looked like geniuses but they failed to adjust after it didn't work.

defense - what can i say that hasn't been said yet? TRGO is a piece of crap! with bolden out, anyone with a pulse could see fitz was the guy we had to stop. too many times he was allowed to come all the way accross the field for an easy reception. a few blown coverages were one thing but was it me or were we in a soft zone most of the night? why were we not manned up on him all night with help over the top? if breaston beat us it'd be different but the guy who we all knew could beat us did because we let him. also, why did we let warner have all night to pass? we obviously weren't doubling up on fitz so it's not like we didn't have an extra guy. the few times we did blitz in the 2nd half it seemed to bother him at least a little. sending a 4 man rush that wasn't generating enough pressure is terrible.

something has got to happen. i really believe we had the talent to win the superbowl and with the pending free agent status' or gross and peppers and another passing year the proverbial window for winning a superbowl is slowly closing. we need a change in philosophy. i'm not saying necessarily to dump the coaching staff but if that's what needs to happen i'm sure that no one could argue. whatever we need to do to get away from this conservative non adjusting stubborness maybe this is the game the big cat needed to finally see to notice it.

take it for what it's worth and if some of the things i've said doesn't make sense or if i haven't expressed it the right way i'm sorry because i didn't proof read it. my mind is too scrambled out of frustration and sadness right now because like 26 other teams now, we have to get ready for the offseason and "wait until next year". :mad2:

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
