Bryce did basically what he does every week he’s not playing the falcons. He doesn’t turn the ball over, he is shifty in the pocket, he makes 1 throw a game. 

He can’t elevate a team with that play. If they win it’s because the defense or special teams made plays

its just who he is. Defenders just augment what the does on the field with comforting narratives.

does he get a game losing drive stat for that pathetic sack he took?

This is where I'm at. Sure he didn't lose the game, but the point is it's extraordinarily hard to win with how he usually plays.

There is an obvious pattern but if you have your fan goggles on you won't likely see it from week to week living off the highs and lows. 

This is a team that is built to get embarrassed in the playoffs when the other teams go win at any cost everyweek vs the regular season slog. This is not built to do that obviously.

This team gets boat raced in the playoffs

itd be like Dallas crushing Tampa a few years ago when the national media realized all at once tom Brady was washed.

They show up when it's regular season play and the other team doesn't show up as much. When the other team is playing to win like the Saints and what you see in the playoffs they will lose. 

Whatever team slides in via the NFCS is getting tossed quickly this year. Might as well call it the stepping stone division, basic playoff warmup game.

The team plays well.  Then they stumble.  Cannales says the problems will be addressed.  The team plays well for a bit and then lays an egg.  Cannales says the problems with be addressed.  Rinse and repeat.

The same team that beat LA and Green Bay on the road got swept by the worst team in the NFC South.  This inconsistency is indicative of a failure in leadership, either by the veterans, the staff, the head coach, or all of the above.

I understand a hold, block from behind, etc., playing hard on a kickoff. I don't understand being "offside" on a kickoff, negating a 50 yard run. Offside on a kickoff. Think about that. Coaching. Pathetic.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
