It's impossible to judge a coach or an overall offense while this anchor of a QB is tied around their throat.

You can judge him on the pretty ordinary O he ran with a stacked Bucs compared to the 2 OCs that have come after him

Mr Scot mentioned this in another thread, and I'm paraphrasing, but Canales went into this game and tried to run a smash mouth power running game with a bunch of backup, agile interior linemen or linemen that were injured. Like everyone on the oline has an elbow injury right now. 

It was really basic. Like going to chatgpt and typing in "power running blocking scheme win" and just installing whatever it shat out. And when the saints just did run blitz from the start he had no backup plan at all. They tried to throw a bit more in the 2nd half to start but New Orleans was just sending it up the A gap which has always made Bryce panic. I actually think this would have been a better game for Chuba but that's neither here nor there. 

Canales just looks overmatched at times and I just can't stand that we're talking about giving this guy another season.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not necessarily defending Canales here. I didn't want him hired but at the same time I also realized that our wish list of candidates probably started where everyone else's ended and we'd be shopping off that same list again if we fired Canales and went coach shooting this coming off-season.

I honestly think Baker's resurgence in Tampa after he bombed here got him hired and now Baker is even better without him.

Canales is overmatched...in every game...because he has  the least talented starting QB in the NFC and possibly the entire game.

Some of you are saying that Dave could have called a better game, but I just don't what you guys expect him to do with Bryce at QB.

Is he going to have Bryce attack the 2nd and 3rd levels of the defense with his powerful throwing arm and pinpoint accuracy?

He could have maybe tried to work more play action passes into the game, but that's only effective when the run game is clicking...and it was not CLICKING yesterday.

Maybe you could try running a no huddle to keep the defense on its heels and try to get Young into some type of rhythm.

Screens can be an effective means to slow down an aggressive pash rush, but the team only gave up 2 sacks yesterday. I didn't see the Saints do anything so unique in their pass rush that a competent QB couldn't have handled yesterday.

There's only so much you can do when your QB cannot consistently make throws to all areas of the field beyond 10 yards.

We watched every sunday for almost 3 years...not really an epiphany....

It is heretical language to some.  We casual types can say it, we are just dumb. When Cosell says it they probably go looking for their pacifiers and blankies.

Greg Cosell said something similar on the Ross Tucker podcast on Thursday 

Second consecutive week he dished that out.  I wonder what it will be on the review this week.

I don't give a flying fug what anyone thinks, Dave hasn't demonstrated that he can adapt to a situation on the fly. He tries to have the same gameplan every week. Now I'm giving him grace due to a highly ineffective QB, but it's not like he's demonstrated that he's Kyle Shanahan or Ben Johnson.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
