Sure sure, it's the correct tactical play. It's also the lamest potential play. If we're close to .500, I'm honestly fine with it. But we're not and it's weak because of that fact.

We got the win. Cool. But I never want to experience this kind of win again. Never again do I want to watch us struggle to do anything offensively for four quarters and rely on defense alone to keep us in the thick of things, including a timely RedZone interception. Never again do I want to see us actually have an impressive drive that sets us up to win where we ACTUALLY end it with refusing to try for a TD from the fuging one yard line when your run game is hot. No balls. No pride. No desire to be great. But absolutely fine with doing just enough to skate by. Tabor can be gone forever at this point. Bitch mentality from any coach. This isn't like just making it into field goal range and not wanting to fug it up. It's the goddamn goal line.

I mean Howell ain't bad.

Well we could go full subscription service to pay Igo's bills if you'd like

Leaving BoA as a customer and going to a credit union was a great idea. Maybe we should've had the rights given to Showmars. At least it's consistently mediocre and not built to fug over the very people that trust it.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Sleep Token currently. There isn't a bad song. Not one.

I think it would benefit Bryce to watch Dalton operate. I think it would benefit our receivers to have Dalton play. I think it would benefit our defense to have Dalton play. I think it would benefit Brown to have Dalton play. For these reason, Dalton will remain on the bench. It's maddening

Gimme one game with Dalton. All I ask.

For sure. But this is the highest volume of deep throws he's attempted all year. Just statistically, for an NFL QB, let alone a #1 overall pick qb..,he's gotta hit a higher percentage than zero. This is sad.

I'm not saying he's perfect, but everybody here wants a young coach who worked under other proven, current era coaches. Brown is that. He's working with shitty talent and most likely being micromanaged by Reich and Tepper. I'll take a shitty call or two in exchange for a real offense. Better than shitty calls in an offense that was effective 30 years ago.

I don't think this is the best version of Bryce we've seen. It's arguably the worst. However, yes, it's good that he has been willing to actually throw real routes and not just lean on the short game. More encouraging is the fact that we're not calling levels every other pass play. But this is where Bryce should've been day one. Which begs the question... didn't he staff know Bryce struggled deep so they avoided it for his confidence or was the offense called short because our OL is bad. Because Bryce has had some time today, likely thanks to the run game. Based on his accuracy on literally every vertical throw, I think we know which it likely is. Bryce has to fix this or he will absolutely get replaced.

Either Brown is trying some actual offense out or this is just game planning for the Saints and Bryce and the receivers have failed to execute. This is more the offense I think we all expected for 11 weeks. At least some of the time. Bryce letting it rip IS encouraging...but then you're discouraged because he absolutely cannot hit on vertical shots. No touch, no ability to drop it in a bucket in stride. Mingo splitting coverage deep for a walk-in TD is going to be the glaring miss from the day. That's a QBs dream, just hit it deep down the middle with no fear of anybody over the top because your receiver already beat everybody. Bryce has to find his touch deep, but if the offense is called this way moving forward, I have hope that we don't have total incompetence on our offensive staff. Which is promising, because I love Brown and want to see him stick as our OC, but he's gotta prove he can call an offense. This is the right direction to proving that.

What? He has. He has been open multiple times and Bryce simply overthrows it. He's ran good routes and got open over the middle and down the sideline.

Bryce can be benched now. Nobody needs to see more Bryce. Give us Dalton, give us somebody who can give Mingo meaningful reps so we can evaluate him for next year.

Mingo looks good. Keeps getting separation deep, Bryce just can't hit the deep ball. Chark can go literally anywhere else.

Must keep: Bryce, Mingo, Luvu. Keep if reasonable: Thielen, Woods Everybody else is expendable.

Only if the return is damn good. Necas is arguably a top 6 player on his worst day. So if we're not getting back quality right now in return, no deal

I think that's a result of our system and the uptick in mistakes/inconsistency. We absolutely run a high risk/reward forecheck. Transition chances and getting off schedule with changes leads to us giving up good looks. There needs to be a message sent. Start pulling up some guys. Guys getting scratched for a few games could be the shot in the arm they need.

Here's the good thing. We are deep as far as talent. Teams would murder to have the problem we have. We can package a couple of big pieces for a starting goalie...if we are wise. We can replace the goal scoring, but we absolutely cannot survive giving up bad early goals and blowing leads instantly after we get them. We're putting amazing d in front of our net. Third fewest shots against in the league currently, worst save % in the league by our goalies collectively.

Philosophy of the HC doesn't mean you'll have a specific type of offense. We can have a defensive HC who really wants to run the ball well...who has an OC in mind that will keep balance and make us a threat throwing the ball with some variety. People get too hung up on HC philosophy. Gimme Rivera with an OC that isn't a fossil of a bygone era and I'm good

Too much consistency has created this imo. Too consistent a playoff team means guys have more minutes on their legs and more heartbreak of being close but not good enough to win it. Too many of these guys have been here playing together for a while, which has created some complacency imo. Bad team, bad time.

Just a reminder, as somebody who has lost faith in Young, he HAS played better than Trevor Lawrence did in his first 10 games. He COULD turn it around next season. But he has about 10 games next year before I'm calling for his head.

You value OL and WRs and rank them. Whoever is there and highest on your board, take. You do this for every pick after as well. We can improve the D just by getting healthy, maybe adding somebody in FA or via trade. We draft OL and WR and hop to God our next staff can develop talent from the draft

Look at Sam Howell. And most lean towards Maye being a better version of Howell.

Relax, Nicole. It's ok.
