Are we complaining about a made field goal? Who cares how it looked? It cleared the crossbar from 52. Matthew Wright and Eddy Pineiro would've had to punt it from 48 yards to get there.

Upgrading to a guy who barely clears the bar from 52 from guys who barely cleared it from 50 is like being valedictorian of summer school.  We still suck.

For sure,  that’s why I said it’s just in part on BY.   Another part is Canales.  Every O he has been part of hasn’t been about setting up YAC. 

heck that one broken down play where BY ended up scrambling for 2?  WTF you running that horrible play in preseason for, for a team that needs to find a grove.  That’s the playcalling and staff not helping the team out in preseason.  Only 2 dudes running routes and they are both deep action to the same spot of the field.  Hate the design of that for this group.

Canalas is green for sure, and everyone pretty much admitted he was hired a few years too early but he is in over his head and his ass is looking to get bounced if he cannot figure it.   If this rah rah poo is causing us to come out with any lack of urgency then he needs to start reading the team the riot act

I've seen guys boom it into the stands (one of them is a fraternity brother of mine). It's worth fewer points to do that. If he's accurate, he should be the kicker.

Lol, YOU brought up the QB. All I said was calling that a “contested” catch was letting the TE off the hook for the obvious drop and you start going on about subpar qb this and all pro db that. Jeez if you’re going to try to take this snooty approach of attacking the person and not the argument you should at least try to avoid such obvious lies. Gee I wonder why this place is such a shitshow with mods like this. “That should have been a catch and the TE dropped it” - “Durr cope cope you not educate me know football”

Yeah, it has nothing to do with losing year after year and having a 3rd year #1 overall pick QB who we swung a massive franchise crippling trade to get and we're still basically just hoping he's not a bust. Yeah, you're right. It's all my fault. LOL

If you need a place that's all sunshine and rainbows while the world burns around you, I think they made a Discord for that.

Props to those of y'all still watching. I turned it off when Davis Mills looked like prime Peyton Manning patiently navigating the pocket before throwing an absolute strike over a crowded middle to convert 4th down. Like...

I wanna stop watching, but I want to see how Horn Jr. does.  But at this point, I don’t think it will amount to much.  This poo is disgusting.

First half summary.

its a failure of Dave Canales.   Simple as that.  -2 yards for your starting O.   We once again head into a season with a starting O that flat out isn’t ready for the season.  

Canales should tear his plans up and play these dudes next week

That's the one consolation. WFNZ is always funnier when we suck

Those idiots have been talking playoffs for 2 weeks and especially after the first preseason game.  Those fuging homers cannot quite grasp have shitty the roster is and the overall talent we have.  And that is still them assuming Bryce is a nfl qb, which at this point still is up in the air, and even if he is, hes what top15 at best?

I would about bet on 2 series for the starters Thursday.

I get what you’re saying, but I just think the overriding factor for me is it just feels like we’re constantly spinning our wheels.  If that is what we were looking for, we had Zane Gonzalez.  We create our own problems and then spend years trying to fix them.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
