Looks like his knee buckled backing up. Hard to see exactly

Oh look. More Puka

Might as well have not even had Scott on the field guarding Nakua.

That's a classic tush push situation we can't run.

I am the same way I just try to be understanding of what's going on inside my head or I end up losing too many employees. I've made that mistake before and lost several in a short time frame and it ended up costing me a lot more money to train new ones than just to check myself a little.

Ive found sometimes its harder to evaluate people in your exact area of expertise. I struggle with it myself at times. It's hard to be objective because thought processes aren't the same trying to get to the same place. I tend to be a little more lenient than I should because I know they're not me and can't be.

Im still trying to figure out how after Dalton's abysmal 2024 performance, Dan looked at all the FA QBs available and said yep, that's the best option available if Bryce gets hurt and can't go. Because that should be the logic. Not this guy isn't a threat to take the starting spot. I have a hard time believing that Dan, as a MLB that spent hours a day every season in the film studying all different caliber of offenses and QBs made that decision without some outside influence. Outside of everything else he's done as GM, that makes the least amount of sense.

Allen had that ridiculous ducking out of JJ Watt's grasp that was on highlights for a week or 2.

I predict a missed assignment on a FG and full kick to the testiculars of an airborne blocker.

If only it weren't part of a true story. It all began with a Super Bowl party and a double shot of Jaeger...

And Morris as DC.

I compare it more to waking up next to go take a piss after a one nighter and finding a wig, eye lashes, nails, and one of your wash cloths that looks like it was used to clean up a Crayola factory meltdown. Then you look at the pics on your phone from the bar, then at the bed like who tf is that?

Good QBs elevate every day receivers. Happens all the time.

That was a list given of worse QBs who supposedly had longer leashes than Bryce has had. Obviously Bryce has had the much longer leash.

Helps to ignore the number of tush push 1st downs. I think a couple of weeks ago they i saw they were already at 90 or so for the season.

I remember a useless fat fug named Alejandro

We got an owner before he knew anything about football.

Hate to say it but I agree. If the roles were reversed and said it was like tossing a hot dog down a hallway, he'd be getting dragged through the mud and slammed all over the place as a misogynistic asshole. What's good for the goose...

Yes we won 8 games, but we didn't achieve 500 status. We didn't win our way into the playoffs. Atlanta had to do it for us. We are the only team in NFL history to get into the playoffs twice with a losing record. That's not something to be proud of IMO. If NO had started Shough instead of Rattler, we probably wouldn't be in at all. We have the 4th worst point differential of any team in playoff history. That's over 300 teams. If we're being honest, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs with the way we played this year. We just happened to be in the shittiest division in football. I'd be pissed if I was the Vikings and the Lions. Both have winning records and are sitting at home. If we were sitting at home with a 9-8 record while a "division winner" hosted a playoff game with a 8-9 record because their division was total ass, this board would lose its poo. I'd like to keep Tillis too and think we should do what we have to to keep him. I don't think it's a fluke that all of a sudden we improved in close scoring games and KC suddenly declined. I also don't think it's a fluke our draft improved and KCs declined overall. I don't know that fans expect too much. Other franchises are making significant visible changes in a single season and not from a single draft pick. You see teams make business decisions instead of emotional ones. I think our expectations are too low honestly. Our offense it putrid. We're in the bottom 1/3 in almost every category. DC is not a good OC. His in game decision making is awful. Successful franchises do good things over and over and we don't mimic them. We blaze our own Oregon Trail and wind up dead with dysentery more often than not. I hope it changes and I think if it does, Tillis will be a huge part of it. I think he's may deserve more credit than he's gotten to this point.

Getting snagged by those metal braces ain't a fuging picnic either.

I want to win short and long term and that requires there being competition in the QB room every year. Even when Brady was firmly entrenched with multiple rings, Billy B was still bringing in QBs behind him because injuries happen. Matt Cassel led them to 11-5 and should have made the playoffs as a wildcard. You don't settle in the QB room because you think you have a starting QB. Always try to do better. The ultimate goal is a SB. Do what it takes to win.

Couple of different approaches in 24 but mine would have been to keep Brady at swing, move Mayes to guard, Corbett as backup, stay at 33 and draft JPJ as top C/G, instead of Brooks, draft Frazier. I know everyone wanted a WR and I did too, McConkey being my preference, but if the need was to protect Bryce's Achilles heel which is pressure up the middle, taking 2 of the top IOL to start immediately, move up Mayes, who's already proven he can do the job, Corbett to backup where he belongs. Instead of Wallace in the 3rd, if we were going to risk on an injured player it would have been Wilson, top LB in the country. Use all that extra cap space from Hunt and Lewis to bring in a WR that can actually catch and run routes unlike XL and get an edge rusher and likely still have had some cap left over, 2 quality IOL on rookie deals, cap space to ink Icky and Mayes this year and a hell of a LB to boot.

Crowd noise will be a determining factor. False starts and keeping Stafford out of rhythm will be crucial.

The oline is already one of the most expensive in the league and about to be more expensive when we ink Icky to a new deal. If you believe the Huddle on gamedays, our line is overpaid poo that can't block anything. I don't think they're terrible, but i think we overspent on 2 guards when we could have possibly paid 1/0, promoted Mays/BC or both and drafted Frazier instead of an injured RB. Our dline was largely helped by the return of DB from injury and an all pro caliber season. I know it takes time to fix things. He inherited a mess from Fitterer but he was also a 3 year assistant to that GM. He helped create that mess if you believe he did his job as AGM, which I would assume he did since was deemed qualified and hired as replacement GM. It all boils down to how well you think the team and FO has been constructed. I look at some of the moves made and those not made and I'm skeptical of his abilities. You attribute more to his abilities than I do. That's all good. We'll find out in a couple more years how good a GM he really is when we have more to judge.

I'm not trying to be cynical. We have 5 drafts to judge Dan on. 3 that were pretty bad cumulatively that Dan was Assistant GM and 2 as Head GM, 1st bad, 2nd good. The point I was trying to make is we lack enough information at this point to judge Dan one way or the other to say Dan has earned our trust as a team builder. I think some skepticism is still warranted based on the things that have happened at minimum over the past 2 years. I'm skeptical of his abilities as a GM still. That's all.
