Rivera:

I really think that we just missed opportunities... We played a good first half... We had an opportunity to start the second half, got to 3rd and 12, you've got to make that play, you've got to understand what the coverage call is, you've got to understand your technique, push through to your technique and make the play. Bottom line, I'm not going to sugar coat it, we have to get better at those things.

Opportunities to make plays - I mean at 3rd and 12, we don't get off the field, then they get a big play down the field, then they are in field goal range, then it's 3rd down and we have a chance to stop them, but they pick it up, next thing you know they score a touchdown. I mean, we are not consistent on third down.

Until the second half I thought they came out and did some great things... We played the way you'd like in the first half but this game is four quarters. One thing I liked was the way the offense went down the field and got the touchdown and made the two point conversion to tie it at 35 35 as well gave ourselves a chance to tie the game and who knows what happens after that. Then they come out and throw a big one to 81...

Cam:

We came out explosive. That's how football is supposed to be played. Plays were called and executed, blocking, plays were in there. Second half we came out and it was as if we were just trying to hold on. Can't do that to a team like this with the explosive offense the talent they ahve on defense, have to be in attack mode all four quarters.

To some degree I do, it's the small things taht are impacting us in a big way. Finishing, executing, decision making, you know, those things you have to master in this league or you are going to get exposed. This game we put on a clinic on how to lose a game, simple and plain, going out on a limb to say it but we can't lose games like that but somehow we did.

Anyone else bugged by the way Rivera says the word "play?"

Same poo different week with these press conferences. Although Cam looks slightly less like Mopeyhead progressively after these losses. Hmm.

He should. It was better than last week. But giving up that many yardage and points is just terrible

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
