We need another offensive threat at receiver to help Tetairoa.  Maybe XL being sat down helps him the way last year helped Bryce.  I'm starting to really like how Canales deals with struggling players.

Coker coming back could be huge but it's still a few weeks away.  Sanders also looks like he has the ability to be that weapon as well.

Depends on if it really was a hamstring injury or not. If it was a healthy scratch I'd be more inclined to believe it was a benching for poor performance.

When any other team goes up by two scores and is dominating on defense, it's smart to go to the run game. Twisting that into, "We don't want Bryce to kill us" is beyond ridiculous. 

The final drive of the game before the kneel out? Yea, mostly runs while up 30-0. The drive before that? 4 of the 9 plays were passing plays. The drive before that was 5 passing plays from the 9 on the drive. The other drive to start the second half? 2 out of 5 plays were passing plays. There was balance. I do not understand why some of y'all are so desperate to disparage the QB that you're outright lying about what took place in front of all of us.

We weren’t so much dominating on D most of that game as it was just Penix being horrible.  Plays were clearly there to be made on our D.  

Atlanta’s issue is what our issue so often is….when we gift games and make meh defenses look like the 85 Bears.  Thats Bryce.  Not our opponents being great.  Today was Penix doing that. 

the fact we don’t have an offense….is going to remain a massive issue when teams aren’t gifting us.

That’s gotta be the weirdest 30-0 win ever.  The defense obviously played well, but uh, I don’t feel some surging confidence in the team afterwards like you would expect after that.  Just whelmed.

My biggest takeaway from the game is Penix is fuging terrible.  Thank God he made Bijan, an actual threat, a complete non factor.

Hopefully they build on it and carry some momentum going forward.

This is the correct take.  It’s not sustainable.  Happy we won but no way this can be done on a week to week basis.

Wow, just saw the Eagles win due to a blocked fg returned for a td.

A few seconds later, the Jets put themselves in a position to win with a blocked fg returned for a td.  That is insane.  

TB driving under 2m to win a third straight game???

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you honestly believe this is a team that will even be in contention for a playoff spot this year? To me, if you're not at minimum a genuine playoff caliber team, every win you get is a meaningless win in the end.  This is the NFL, it's not peewee league where you just want to win a few games and have fun, you want to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a SB run. We haven't had a winning season in how many years?   Does "enjoying" a small handful of wins every year really make for an enjoyable season for you? I said it months ago and I'll say it forever, I don't care about winning or losing this year, as we don't have a playoff caliber roster yet and I'm a realist about where we are as a franchise.  I'd enjoy watching the games so much more if the team and Bryce in particular were just showing marked improvement, even if it came in losses.   Because THAT would give me hope for the future of the franchise and the direction we're going. Bryce was complete garbage in Week 1, in Week 2 he was terrible until the Cardinals went into super soft prevent defense and then collapsed gain when the game was in reach, and he was a serviceable game manager today, but didn't make any throws that any college QB couldn't make. This game was a perfect chance to let Bryce go out there and play loose because of the lead, just let him be himself and see if it sparks his college self.  But instead, we went unbelievably conservative with the play calling to help ensure the win, when actual wins and losses are the least of our worries this year, it's figuring out what Bryce can be (fans may be decided, but the team obviously has not yet).

      I’m pretty sure Baker requested to be released.

      Pretty fair assessment overall. I can’t say a lot since I didn’t watch but going by the comments I am betting he (Canales) was very conservative and a large reason would be to prevent Bryce giving it away half the day.
