Murphy

Sucks poo, such a bad trade. I don't give a poo if it was only a 7th rounder, he can't catch to save his fuging life. If we wanted a receiver with great speed and rock hard hands then I'm sure we could have found one for league minimum

He just does not make those tough catches in traffic..he never fights for the ball. the ball he caught..on the slant was just thrown so hard it stuck to him...great Cam throw moment. He had that end zone jump ball but apparently has been coached by Nakamura on how to attack the jump ball.

There were two potential touchdowns he could have caught and he didn't. He pisses me off so much, Naanee 2.0. Man, we need a receiver.

I don't think he is terrible but we can definitely do better. Please tell me Lafell is coming back this weekend...

What did Chicago give up for Brandon Marshall again, a third rounder? Instead we trade for Murphy, LOL.

Why waste a Third round pick on a proven commodity and playmaker?

At least it was a 7th rounder for Murphy, Hurney knew what he was getting with this pick.

I mean it is not like we traded a 2nd to get a QB to convert to a WR..ha ha that would be insane..right?

We need a receiver that can steal the immunity idol from Nakamura. Obviously Gettis can't.

You mean Armanti? Murphy is actually the one standing in his way of becoming our no. 2 receiver at the moment. LaFell can't come back soon enough.

I haven't been clamoring for a new WR, but if we have a shot at getting Wallace for a reasonable price or fall into a BPA position in the draft, we might as well take one because dayum...our receiving core is pathetic.

What about that 50 yd catch vs the Eagles

    • They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.    
    • well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn. 
    • JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
