Don't know if I can watch more.

Every commercial break, my service talks about a San Fran documentary pulling Montana for Steve Young and a QB controversy, then Micah P, and then maybe season opener with Rams.. and then some other boring generic European soccer clips. And repeat if the break is longer... 

Gah..  I prefer the US commercials. I want them. Bad.

I'd prefer anything over the neverending cycle of pharma ads showing people having the time of their lives with happy music playing while a laundry list of atrocious side effects is read by the narrator.

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.

Sounds like a lot of cope. Why don’t you just create another thread for everybody who doesn’t like your shtick? There’s certainly nothing in between disagreeing with super smart edumacated football savant linville gorge and “all sunshine and rainbows”. As we all know, the only educated opinions are yours, and you certainly bear no blame for bringing down the discourse by immediately launching into character attacks instead of just talking like a normal human. Reddit mod level.

Didn’t he say the plan was just to run them only in the first 2 and sit the last? 

I might have that wrong.  Hope I do or he junks the old plan.

But the it’s just going to be a repeat of last preseason.  Where his starters only see success vs backup units going in 

That’s what most of the league has been doing since going to 3 games.

So, is Bryce going to struggle to start and then pick it up, and we have the conversation we had all offseason again? 
 

This hasn’t been a good preseason for the starters. Right now, I’m ready to move on. 

I think the entire O is going to struggle.

The oline appears to have taken a step back. Zero run game over these two games.

But yeah, could end the season with ‘hope’ vs certainty.

30 plus TDs and INTs < 14. Anything less and I’m ready to go in another direction. Im also expecting 6 wins or more. 
 

I see this as a 5-12 team.

We have 91 yards of offense lol

I tried to provide you guys with what you wanted and you still didn't like it. But again, that's all my fault. LOL

Why would we want to have a developmental QB with potential on the depth chart? Bryce is fragile and Tepper committed this franchise to Bryce.

IMO we should have had Bryce competing with other young QBs since day one. Warned about Bryce before the draft. Dalton & Plummer does nothing to hedge against a bust in Bryce.

 

I've been saying this all year and even as recent as a month ago and people poo'd my common sense posts about Dalton and the QB room.

Again, this is why I have been droning on that we should’ve taken Milton or Sanders over the last two years, because I am 99.9% sure Bryce’s run to end the season was fool’s gold.  We have a much bigger sample size of what to expect from him before that stretch.

You are putting a lot of opinion on a very very small sample size.... especially since the actual starting 5 haven't played yet...  guarantee Lewis goes week 1.

The Andy Dalton injury was huge 

The coaching staff cannot properly evaluate any offensive skill position player with Jack Plummer, who will not be on the team in 2 weeks
