I gotta disagree with this. Shaq was a very good LB. He just stood in the shadows of two greats. And this team has felt his loss from the injuries and now his moving on. We were better against the run with him here.

Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water. And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.

And Tremayne certainly had his moments. But XL... sheesh. Sometimes the move from Peckerwood to Hollywood is just too much.

They couldn't beat Greg and Luke's peewee team. Honestly.

Tanking, as I've said before, requires a conscious effort to avoid winning. This team has no choice but to lose. They couldn't beat UNC-Charlotte.

He'll be the sacrificial goat for this. And that'll give Canales another couple of weeks. It won't change a damned thing, though. This pile is turds all the way down.

He's terrible. Coaching is terrible.

And I'm out for the season. At least I lasted longer than the team did before giving up. I've been following this team since day 1, and I haven't given up on a season since 2001. Life's too short, though, to watch stuff this bad. I guess I'm just going to treat it like I was out of the viewing network and just watch other games and just look for the box score. I can't sit through another march to the first pick in the draft.

There's an old adage that with a WR, you really don't know what you've got until the third season. Still, dude needs to pick it up or he'll be struggling to get called off the bench to participate in that third season much.

No, just no. Let's ride this thing out.

I'm with you on that one brother. Pretty similar here. My buddies from college and I still play each week together on a conference call. Sheesh, we've been gaming as a group since 1988. Man, I feel old.

Sheesh. I need to find me a good group to sit around the table with and roll dice. Anyone in Greensboro?

Seemed like everything was going great for her up until then. I guess we never can know how things are offscreen, or how much stress there is from that much success. She certainly seemed to be an original character.

Latest video I wrote is out. While I try to write with no bias, I have to say I am not 100% sure that the right guy was convicted. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the work in putting this together! Excellent read.
