Hot Takes Immediately After the Game

[electro's horse]

I'm not sure there's a QB in the league who makes games more unwinnable than Bryce when he plays bad. There's just no way to win a game when Bryce is playing like this.

And I'm not sure there's a QB who's had more of them. 

And not just full games. Think how often Bryce just vanishes for the entire half, or three quarters. You can't cannot win football games like this.

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

He’s really not. He was drifting upfield on that first interception that allowed the safety to come up and make a play. Mingo would do the same sh!t. 
 

He truly has no idea what he’s doing out there. Pre snap he’s always looking around confused

My overreactions:

• Tmac looks like he belongs.
• XL pressing too much. Looking more like a Cordarelle Patterson than an AJ brown at this point.
• Renfrow will be the #2 choice as the season progresses. I can't see Bryce/Coaches trusting XL in key moments.
• Corbett had a terrible game (several bad/early snaps). I wouldn't be sad to see Mays back in the lineup.
• Bryce pressing too much. Looked fine when he had time. I figured he would have learned to slide by now.
• Defense improved as the game went on. I'm not expecting miracles.
• Our LBs are predictably terrible. QB scrambles and TEs are gonna feast all season.
• Coaching seemed fine. I agree with the 4th down tries. Didn't like the playclock constantly running down though.

Canales may be a good offensive mind but he's a rah rah buddy buddy fruit cup who lets everybody bring their support dogs into the facility and to practice. This team has absolutely 0 discipline and can't even perform the basic fundamentals of playing tackle football. 

[Panthering]

- David Moore is a better wr than XL 

- Bryce Young failed us today 

- Canales struggles to get his teams prepared 

- TMac is going to be a franchise great if we can keep him 

- Our LBs (re: Rozeboom) are going to get roasted all year and it’ll be the Achilles heel to hand Evero a pink slip 

[SmokinwithWilly]

This team will never be competitive with David Tepper as the owner. The building is toxic and no one with any real ability to turn it around wants to come here. Morgan and Canales are the result of only one person applying for the job.

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

No he wouldn't. He struggles to do the most simple poo any NFL WR should know. In Game 1, TMac was far more impressive than the entirety of XL's NFL career. 

It's because XL doesn't do anything well at all. Well, not on the football field, for sure.

It pains me to say this but Morgan might need to go if some of these rookies don’t start flashing soon.

 

look at our 2023 draft class and then our 2024.  How many guys can we say are reliable starters? I didn’t love Scourton, Princely, or Etienne and felt Etienne was a reach. tho by doubling down pass rushers who fell in the draft I’m hopeful one pans out.

But even great coaches need talent… and we don’t have much on either side of the ball right now.

- 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..

How about they just suck at football

Dam, brother besides adding some UDFA kicker love, we have the same thoughts. 

DJ Wonnum is the best OLB/pass rusher....hell he maybe on the same level as horn and dbrown if you took away names.

Well, the owner didn’t throw a drink on anybody and I haven’t heard of any cheerleaders getting arrested. 
 

So yay! Go team??

[LinvilleGorge]

Bryce is an all-time bad multi-year starting WH, LBs suck, XL sucks, Corbett is not a center and can't properly snap a football, Evero is worse than useless.

The only way is to run the ball 90% and 9% screen plays. Then the defense needs to get at least 3 TOs and hold the team below 11 points for the game.

You remember that wenike game against the falcons, wildcat for the wins, lols...
