John Fox stat of the day

He's picked a few pretty asinine plays to challenge, by the way. But, on a related note...

Why the $%*& does our stadium have to be the only friggin' one in the league where replays aren't shown a hundred times from various angles, slow motion, etc. when there is a challenge? Is this just another nuance of Jerry Richardson showing his allegiance and support to the league?

In two cases, Fox challenged plays that obviously wouldn't be overruled. However, in both cases, one of his starting players was down on the field at the time he threw the challenge flag.

Why is this important? Because in both cases, if play was stopped to send out medical personnel, those players would have had to come out for the next play. By throwing the challenge flag Fox basically got a five minute timeout (or longer) for the cost of a time out and a later challenge, but got to keep the slightly injured player on the field and active in the next play.

It might have looked bad in the two cases I know of, but honestly, that's some smart heads up coaching.

    • Over previous years? Sure is 😆
    • An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. Here's a bit of truth telling though: There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁
