Mr. Scot

Agreed.

One good receiver isn't enough these days. Even when we had Steve Smith, you could only do so much when teams could just take him away and not be scared of anyone else. Honestly, don't care about his career to date, only where we go from here. Last season showed promise. This game showed promise. Unfortunately, it's still just promise.

- Even with Derrick Brown back, we so far have the kind of defense that would require an offense that scores about thirty points a game to win. We do not have an offense that can score thirty points a game. - Young is still not quite good enough for me to endorse sticking with him, but the "worst ever" talk is silly, especially given that his 'support staff' has some major holes in it. Evaluate him honestly and don't try to explain it away when he does well. You still might come away with negative feelings, but they'll at least be honest. - Xavier Legette...is it a confidence problem? A skill problem? An effort problem? Combination of things? Unknown, but at this point I'd absolutely move him down the depth chart. Replace him with Coker (when he's healthy) or Horn, or... somebody. Maybe he can win back his job down the road, but right now? - Starting to feel like there are some issues with our offensive play design, though more so on the run plays than the passing ones. Not sure whether Canales or Idzik is writing the plays but whomever it is might need to make some changes. Mind you, this is not something I've put any detailed analysis into at this point. It's just a general observation. Maybe someone who checks the All 22 stuff can take a look. - Appended to the above, I feel like I'm done with Evero. Though to be fair, I already felt that after last season's debacle. - Positives: I like this Tremayne kid. Kudos also to Hunter Renfrow and, of course, McMillan.

Not making one. Young got off to a bad start, but had the team within a score of winning from 20 points down. Then that last drive suffered a lot with Corbett and Hunt both out. That's not a "biggest bust ever" performance, especially not when Xavier Legette plays as badly as he did. He had a lot of good moments. It's disingenuous to make excuses to discount them. Evaluate him honestly. And on that front: To be clear, I'm still not convinced we need to stick with Bryce, but the "worst ever" talk is kinda silly.

You mean after Corbett got hurt?

Catching up, just saw the opening fumble...

Additional Note: Her sister is a Steelers fan, and after the game she directed me to text her sister a gloating message of "Hey, thanks for George Pickens." My wife is a savage

FYI: Lady Cowboy Fan and I were both standing for the last drive of the game. But apparently not far enough apart When Brandon Aubrey hit the game winner, she shoved me while celebrating and I fell onto a couch. In the future, I plan to maintain a safe distance from her during games like this

Okay, I gotta catch up on this game since the Cowboys game ran long. Also, no exaggeration: Lady Cowboy Fan shoved me into a couch as the final field goal hit

Aaaaaaaand Russell Wilson...

Interior line was among the best units we've ever had. I wish we had a center half as good as Kalil now.

Okay, starting to worry I may not survive the Cowboys game

Oher was good. Remmers mostly did okay against people not named Von Miller. Things I hated about that season: - Rivera always coasted in the second half and thus games that looked like blowouts in the first half became nail biters in the second. - The team failing to adjust after Atlanta exposed weaknesses in our schemes, then watching those same things happen in the Super Bowl. - Learning that the coaches told someone (Mike Gilbert, I think) to help Remmers against Miller in the Super Bowl, and them basically refusing to do so

Holy sh-t, going for a 64 yard field goal. Edit: And making it

Many people believe the modern NFL needs a minor league. I'd agree but I know it'll never happen.

Side Note: I may now have a concussion as well as a burst eardrum

No argument. I've said before it's not on the college coaches to prepare players for the NFL. Their job is to win games, and the methods for doing that are a lot different than at the pro level. Wasn't always such a big discrepancy, though. I get why it's changed, but I miss when there wasn't such a huge gap.

Dallas secondary has been refried ass this game.

I don't think he was ever fully healthy when we had him. That said, the way they're using him is way smarter than what we tried.

We had a pretty decent one in 15. Couldn't maintain it though. Fell apart way too fast.

Well...

Changes to the college game are why it's become so hard to develop quarterbacks and find half decent offensive linemen.

My "what if" with Newton will always be what if his early development would have been trusted to someone like Norv Turner rather than Mike Shula.

Preseason three (at that time, the 'dress rehearsal' game) he looked horrible. Played great when it mattered though. These days,the college game just doesn't teach pro level skills like it once did. Makes it much harder to identify QB talent.

Undisciplined on both sides of the ball... Daboll doesn't really seem like head coach material.
