Seeing the Pats fall apart has been very satisfying. Bill continues to have zero clue about serviceable QB's. Underrated how terrible the Pats have been at QB evaluation under Belichick.

Honestly, that was one of the best offensive games we have had recently. Not saying a lot, obviously.

BS. Most games we have two full minutes of offense. Not at the same time, admittedly. Usually spaced out over four quarters.

Oh it is 100% Tepper. Ultimately even if he wasn't meddling like he probably is, all these bad decisions stop at his doorstep.

Yeah, I have no illusions about how we are gonna suddenly figure it out. TBH, what would it matter what QB we took this past draft or in 2025? If you don't fix the FO and coaching it is just going to be the same story over and over. Just like the OG Browns.

The die is set, buddy. This is what the rest of the year is gonna look like. If they had any thought of changing anything meaningful, it would have happened long before now.

How did so many Huddlers think Henry was going to go off on us? Has anyone paid attention to his career the past couple of years?

Yeah and I don't think it is rare for an owner to have SOME input. But these are supposed to be decisions that your FO and coaching staff ultimately make and pitch the case. Not some Dan Snyder-esque fantasy football gone wrong BS.

I don't think the evidence we have so far supports that at all. He is actively involved but the instances of him being conclusively linked to many(or any) personnel decisions are minimal. I think he is just a general pall over the organization by consistently sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong nor does it help the situation. Case in point with the weekly meetings with Tepper after the games. What could that possibly accomplish? If you don't trust the guy you hired, why did that hire happen? Same with the "All Star Staff" that the ownership supposedly did have a hand in selecting, despite not many of them being linked or really known well by Reich. That is the kind of meddling that will torpedo a franchise.

I will take that bet.

It's the product of a bad FO. We all know it at this point. I was one of the "Give Scott a chance as GM now that Rhule is gone." Well his moves have looked all too similar to the Rhule era crap. Possibly worse. It's time to move on. It won't happen because for all Tepper's impulsiveness he fails to see the obvious quickly enough.

Bust you say? Well maybe he is Panthers material after all.

Richardson was an even more dink and dunk guy than Bryce. That with the durability makes me pretty glad we didn't go that route. It doesn't matter, all of them would have massively failed here. They all have way better situations and coaching staffs that understand successful NFL football. Also all of them got to pick their own staff instead of having a "All Star Staff" put together for them.

We can't change the ownership so that is the highest level you can cut the head off and it help.

The only way that Rod is getting fired is the complete and utter collapse of the team. I don't know why people say this poo year after year. Rod is not going anywhere nor should he.

The NFL has never and really will never care about player safety over profits. Until the profits are threatened(like the CTE lawsuits), there will be no change. They are even going back to the CTE well and publishing skewed data attempting to show there is no issue.

FTFY

I think Fields has definitely shown himself to be a bust with little NFL future but there is at least something to be said for dying on the hill of gambling on a QB. Taking a player in a position that was far from a need and arguably not even the best CB at the time was just foolish. Not that any of us could have figured why Horn would end up being a bust. Such a sad scenario all around.

Yep. I wanted Slater, Fields or Surtain over Horn. I love Jaycee but it was a mistake to have drafted him. I guess not as big of a mistake as Fields.

This one is on Rod. You had to pull Raanta early on. He has CLEARLY been off.

It would be understandable if this was a situation where Raanta had been good this season. He has not been. At all.

We gotta trade for a goalie. Period. Losing Freddie was a five alarm fire.

Dear God Raanta sucks.

Too many of them are him pressing after a mistake or a missed shot.
