Hot Takes Immediately After the Game

The starters did got play enough in the preseason. They just are not prepared mentally and physically for week 1.  This is a pattern with Tepper, Morgan, and Canales. 
 

Canales doesn’t instill enough discipline and the team has a serious lack of focus.  He’s always so positive it gives a false sense of where we are with this rebuild. We are a 4-6 win team…again. 

T-Mac is a very good receiver, but we should have taken that LB from Georgia. We’ll just end up having to trade T-Mac away in a year or two because we can’t win games with the weaknesses in the middle of our D.  
 

Same old story…can’t stop the run, no pass rush, lack of execution when it mattered on offense. 
 

It’s not like we expected a playoff team, but the f-ing JAX players were literally laughing at us. Laughing AT us. 
 

Let’s see where it goes from here. On offense the problem was lack of preparedness and execution.  On defense the problems are systemic. Evero just is NOT a good DC.

They should fire him and hire and interim DC.
 

You mean the guy that had a 2 tackle game today??

LMAO

He literally does nothing well. Like....nothing.

How long do we need this project to last? Until he is 28? 

I hate to be that way about a guy with a season and a game but JFC, he can't do the simplest poo.

For me it’s the small but dumb mistakes

Not getting his other foot down, catching a 5 yard pass and then running back to the LOS to end up with a 1 yard gain.

Its maddening to see an NFL WR make the mental mistakes he makes, and that’s before you get to his limitations as an actual pass catcher.

This is why I grind my teeth at him basically being the "face" of this franchise. How about.....BE GOOD AT FOOTBALL AND NOT SOCIAL MEDIA?!!!

He had a 4th down throw away his rookie year, too. I don’t get it. He looked timid again. Something about these off-seasons seem to have him so in his head. His mental is fugged, I think.

The league is BIGGER than him, literally and figuratively.

The first thing that came mind to me… the team looks like they don’t even practice together! Horrible tempo, absolutely inexcusable QB play, terrible tackling, terrible time management. Same thing, different year!

- This is the only game I will give Bryce a pass on. I still want to believe in him and a lot of teams opening week dont look good. But he made mistakes that impacted the game directly. Intereception turned into 7, fumbled ball missed on a field goal opportunity, underthrown ball to Renfrow was a easy 7 but had to settle for FG. 4 and Goal throw away??? What was that..

- I dont care what anyone says at this point, Wallace is not the answer at LB and Rozeboom is an unathetlic depth ILB at best.

- Moehrig had a lot of tackles, but I saw him out of position a lot and missed tackles in key spots. Not a good first impression for me

- Chubba is are best and most consistent player, again. He deserved his money

- McMillan is a #1

- We cant stop the run

- We have ZERO pass rush

- Evero needs to go!!

- Legette is still incredibly raw..

Why are you giving him a pass? …. Have you not watched him these last couple seasons? He’s a bust

This is the worst defense in the league without question. 
 

im also not sure this isn’t the worst offense in the league. 
 

this team will be a sub four win team with a new quarterback next year and a coach who will be on the hot seat (which is a disastrous combination that will lead to another five years of failure)

 

we are what Cleveland was to the prior generation. The panthers are now the Browns.

Good: TMac, Horn, D. Brown, Chuba

Bad: Corbett, The Entire non-Brown/Horn D, Dave Canales, Evero, the OL

Time to move on: Bryce, XL

Legette would be better if we had a qb not afraid to unload...not his fault...

[RJK]

T-Mac, chuba, JC, and Mike Jackson all looked really good today 

[Carolina Cajun]

*Positives*
-NALO looks the part of a #1 receiver who is hungry.  
-Line looked OK besides corbett who needs to be benched...immediately
-Jaycee is still a beast even without pass rush
-Chuba deserves every penny
-Kicker made his kicks and didnt fug up kickoff like Jax

*Negatives*
-Corbett is dogshit.  Absolute waste of a roster spot
-Bryce....jesus fuging christ...have you ever played decent in the first week of any season ever?
-We suck at stopping the run with guys who are known to stop the run...time to start looking at the guy making the calls maybe?
-XL...my fuging god, if I call out that egregious BS one more time Im gonna be nauseous.  Our QB sucks and you do him no favors by somehow sucking more...cmon.  I love this guy so much, wish he wouldnt suck.
-Dowdle didnt look great, IMO, etienne looked better.


By week 3 or 4 this team will finally be good enough to play against teams in week 1 of the season.

[*FreeFua*]

Legette isn’t raw. Legette isn’t a WR. He can’t catch. He’s so worried about catching the ball that he’ll never be able to worry about his feet at the same time. He has zero awareness out there. 

Dan trading up for Legette a year after this team drafting Mingo is insane. They’re the same damn player.

Ok...woah...alllllright, lets slow down.  XL absolutely fuging infuriated me (See my post), but dude, XL is FAR from being Mingo bad.

Hot take, Bryce will have a Zack Wilson career path.
