Can we actually score a touchdown in the last 2 minutes of a half for once? The magic 8-ball says - doubtful

Look at that.. canales finally gives fitzy a chance and he nails the 57 yarder

Why can't we ever have a punt returner that is at least average... We always have poo players returning kicks for us that end up losing games for us because they suck so much

Modern day Cam would at least fire the team up...

Depends. If he goes to the Eagles to be Hurts' backup and Hurts gets hurt, he could do well since they have a top 3 oline, RB, and WRs

XL is about to turn the corner... Of his house as he is chasing a rabid squirrel trying to eat rabies infected squirrel meat...

Agreed - he is definitely a luxury... For the opposing team's DBs because they don't need to cover him

Yep! Just like the last six seasons where we have picked in the top 10

Fixed it for you

If that is the case, we made a great trade. If we are relying on a WR to help our QB read defensive coverages, yikers... It sucks, but I think we all have our final info on Bryce - the guy is not a franchise QB

Much like Arizona where it seemed like we always win against them, we always seem to go 1-1 against the Falcons. Should we lose... absolutely. Could we accidently win and cock over our draft position? Possibly

I think you have to go for 2 there. We score a TD late in the 3rd - there was no way I would trust this offense to score 3 more times in the game. Let's face it, if we didn't have a miraculous onside kick recovery, we never would have had that last chance. Bryce (and to a lesser extend Canales) blew the once in a million chance we will give him recovering an onside kick

Going for 2 wasn't the problem. The god awful playcalls were the problem (especially the 1st one). We go jumbo set after the penalty on AZ then run a slow developing outside run when you know AZ is going to bring a run blitz. The most surprising thing about that play was that we didn't lose more yards...

He has had 1 full season and 2 games and I have seen zilcho improvement in his in-game adjustments, handling of the play clock, and having players prepared for games. Like I am talking basic poo that pee wee football coaches know... Bryce is already bad enough - Canales is making Bryce look even worse, which is quite the accomplishment...

While I get what you are saying, none of the QBs you mentioned (except maybe Baker with a fully healthy squad) are a threat of winning a superbowl. We all know what Darnold is - a good QB when he faces no pressure (you could probably say something similar of Bryce). As soon as teams started blitzing Minny last year, he folded like a house of cards (even with elite skill position players). And I need to see more than 2 games of Danny Dimes to believe in him - once teams get tape of the new playbook, let's see how he does then. At the end of the day, Bryce is a backup QB who can do well if he has a top 5 oline, receivers, and defense. Otherwise, he will be the QB that will throw a ton of checkdowns and will look good when teams are in prevent D.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if he has CTE. He was a tough wide receiver that liked to hit and be hit. His brain may have taken too much of a beating during his college/NFL career...

Lol, Smitty would have been the one to try and chokeslam XL for being a bum ala when he punched Ken Lucas in the face that one year...

And has no idea how to play zone defense... Yep, the very same

Someone needs to make a gif of the 1 time we blitzed him and he looked like he was on skates as he just went right by Kyler... After watching that, I understand why we don't blitz...

The oline wasn't that bad the final drive (except Zavala on 2 plays). Bryce has terrible pocket presence and just steps/scrambles into the pass rush far too many times. And Zavala's bad blocking wouldn't have even been a problem on the 2 plays if Bryce checked it down to Chuba. It's so weird that Bryce didn't try to check it down at all the last drive when that was pretty much all he did the previous 3 touchdown drives...

I think just about every team would be in the same predicament if they lost 2 starting offensive linemen. It's even worse for us because our QB is so bad he can't compensate for a beat up oline. That being said, I think our depth at oline is solid. I don't think there is much a drop off from Corbett to Mays (if any) and BC has good position versatility and is IMO solid at each oline position (that I have seen him play). Zavala I thought played well last year and hopefully he was just bad yesterday because he had to come in mid-game. But yeah, none of those backups are close to the quality of Hunt

I wonder if our coaching staff has thought about having Bryce wear stilts so that way he can see over the oline

If 1 catch for negative 2 yd is better, I'm afraid to think what the hell worse would be for XL...

I think you meant to say "When", not If ...
