Nobody gets an A in a loss

Special Teams B+ - No major mistakes and a great punt block. Averaging close to 30 on kickoffs and 20 on punts. Way better than the Giants

Steve Smith B - caught all but one pass thrown to him and ended with 5/75 1TD. Made Matt Moore look good

D Line C+ - Good energy and pressure at times. Yet only 1 sack. and not that many rushes. I 'm not sure how much they should be given credit for the 3 INTS by Eli.

Other wide receivers C Didn't help Moore at times. DJ looked like he ran a couple of good routes. A few balls where the QB and WRs were just not hooikng up. TEs were not a factor

O Line C- - Didn't see many false starts but the protection was not great. Matt Moore was totally beaten up in the 2nd half.

Matt Moore D terrible line 14/33 1TD 3 INTS. Looked like Jake at his worst. Could have had more INTS with some very tentative passes. And he missed some obvious reads. Occasionally when he had time he threw some nice balls but they were far and few...

Coaching D+ 24 rushes total and the run game was never established in the 2nd half. Deangelo is averaging 4 yards per run and you give it to him 16 times...probably twice in the 2nd half? We were winning at the Half!

Secondary D- Lots of miscommunication and at least two of the touchdown drives were completely to blame on the corners. Also some bad tackling at Godfrey (I think) totally blew a one-on-one open field that gave up a touchdown. 3 INTS were tips and kept us in it (I'm sure you will argue that they had to be in position to make the plays

How about an F F***ing minus!!! Only reason we even get a friggin grade is because the defense showed a little something at times and of course Smitty played with his usual intensity in the first half. At least we found out that Munnerlyn and Goodson can still return kicks fairly well.

Offensive line - F

Matt Moore - F+ (only gets the plus because of the TD to Smitty, and the drive in the 4th that ended in an INT)

Smitty - B

RBs - C-

Other receivers - B- (because of Jarrett's clutch 3rd down catches)

TEs - C-

Defensive line - C+, maybe B- at a stretch

LBers - B+

Secondary - D- (Although a lot to blame was the Capt matchup on Nicks, that was just stupid game planning)

Special teams - A- (Hardy & Goodson)

In my opinion, Moore gets one more game after that disaster. Anything close to that next week or the week after and bench his ass. That was very Delhomme-esque. RBs almost never had anywhere to go, the O-line was blocking terribly.

QB = D-

too many passes miss WR; poor decision making under pressure

RB = C-

hard to get many yards with so few holes

WR = C

hard to catch the ball when thrown to defenders secondary

OL = F

missed snap on punt; no pass protection; very few running holes

DL = C

good pressure at times; not enough when needed; stopped run in first half, gave up in second half

LB = C

see DL

DB = F

too many mistakes lead to being burned

ST = C+

good returns; kickoffs can't get to opponants 10 yard line

Coaching = F

run up the middle, repeat; no halftime adjustments (as usual)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
