The Natural

Go back and read your original post that I responded to. I'm comprehending just fine. I can't help that you didn't articulate the point you're now trying to make. You're not going to get an argument out of me that Shough has been impressive for a rookie. All I'm saying is comparing stats against the Falcons to prop Shough up over Bryce is probably the only team in the league that doesn't work with.

..... It's the same team. Quit moving goalposts. I don't think Bryce is the guy, all I'm saying is of all the teams in the NFL to use as evidence of it you picked the one team that for whatever reason he consistently balls out against.

I'm on the record as not thinking Bryce is a franchise guy but using the Falcons defense as a reason to prop up Shough probably isn't the best way to get your point across considering Bryce broke franchise records against them just a few weeks ago.

To be fair at least two of those calls directly resulted in points off of the board for us. I also think there was a third "no call" that did the same. We also missed a FG. I'M NOT saying our offense has been world beaters all season long but yesterday they (with the exception of our RB's) did enough to win.

I'm not a Bryce apologist but it's idiotic to assign him blame for this game.

If it was a single call sure, but we had at least two calls that took us out of scoring range and multiple calls helping get Tampa into scoring range. I'm not even saying we're a good team but we were better than the Bucs.

I'm curious to see if it was a called play or if Rico was just trying to improvise.

Nah, we legitimately were screwed out of the win today.

Evero will call a nice soft zone coverage there to easily let Tampa get a 1st down here

Rico has not been seeing the field well the past several weeks.

Our defense is complete garbage. Thank goodness we have a garbage offense to offset that.

Isn't that what Pittsburgh has been doing this season?

We were down three scores....

I'm willing to bet they saw the writing on the wall and were ready to get to the locker room. It'd be different if we HAD to win the game. I can assure you if we're in that situation next week we won't be kneeling.

Who gives a poo? The game was done. You'd be losing your mind if Rico tore an ACL on a two yard dive in that situation.

I'm not a Bryce apologist but your hate boner for him is weird. You disappear when he has good plays/games.

Well yeah, no poo. Who even thought we'd be sniffing the playoffs this season?

Mahomes is throwing all kinds of hospital balls today.

He was a Hurney first rounder.... No idea why anyone would expect differently.

Agreed. Our scripted drives showcase this as well. Even games where we get blown out our initial scripted drives are usually good. Situational play calling and time management seem to be his issue.

Well, to this point, today is 100% on Canales. We're leading right now if he hadn't started panicking and chasing points.

Should be up by two right now if Canales had just taken the XP and FG.

I can't be out on Canales until I see him able to run his offense without a massive handicap.

So you're giving Evero credit for limiting the points scored but blaming Canales for the amount of times they were allowed in the red zone? Interesting.
