Of course coaching matters, but so does ownership, the GM and scouting departments. We suck at every level of football operations.

His flashes were still less than perfect balls. I would consider flashes 'ideal' passes, but too few in number. Flashes for Bryce are balls that could be prefect and happen to work, but could be better. The double move Chark had today is a perfect example. The DB was beat, period and while it was a completion for a big gain, a perfectly thrown ball has Chark waltzing in the end zone. As it was, the ball was under thrown. Chark had to slow down and turn around with the ball going out of the field of play instead leading his man in stride.

Wuerffel's arms are bigger than Young's thighs.

Nope, this is Tepper's bed and he has to lay in it. Choo-choo...all aboard the Bryce Young train wreck! Next stop is 1-12 with a final destination of 1-17.

Should have gone after Carr like Frank wanted. Nicole was infatuated with a certain rookie though.

We ran the ball better, that was about it. However, they were down to like LBs #6 or #7 the commentators kept saying, so that could have helped.

This just isn't going to cut it. The deep pass to Chark on the right side should have been a TD, but was under-thrown. He just don't have a NFL arm.

Why? The season is wrapped, so at this point he's either going to get better or collapse. If he folds, we need to take a QB at #33 in April and not waste another season on this dude.

Yay, new OC!!!

New coach, same results.

Last drive, two solid run plays and then two consecutive pass plays with only 1 yard...the last ending with a pick. Yay, new OC!!!

Yeah, in revenge games, those former Panthers' player normally goes off on us.

We've been eliminated for a looooong time. The math just makes it official now.

So when Frank handed over play-calling duties to Brown, who honestly thinks he was trying to pass the baton? It's becoming clearer by the day Tepper TOLD Frank to make the switch and that Dave was meddling VERY early on in the season. If Reich thought Brown was 'ready' I doubt he resumes the duties only after a few games. No wonder Frank was looking miserable and why the parting of ways was a mutual agreement. I would want out of this dumpster fire too.

Nah, we might win in a low scoring game like the Texans. We hit the bulk of the division schedule coming up so outside of the Saints, even we have a chance versus the Bucs and Falcons. The defense is finally getting healthy and Eddie is money (not Eddie Money.) if we can hold the Bucs to 17 points or less, we have a shot even with this putrid offense.

That's the sad part is if we sat Bryce all season brought him along slowly, all we had to be was a mediocre football team to win this horrible NFC South, possibly even with a losing record.

Agreed on the disagreement. I don't know how one gets handed a heaping serving of chopped liver and is expected to make filet mignon out of it. Frank had his faults, but he also wasn't a miracle worker either.

Would Tepper allow us to draft a QB at #33 if one falls? You know dude has ZERO accountability and thus if Bryce still continues to struggle making it even more obvious the NFL is too big for him, Tepper will likely pass on a quality QB if there at #33 just to save face, IMO.

Name this coach. It's a two way road. People can't say give the rookie time because all rookies struggle, but then say the coach of said rookie is supposed to have a decent record. That makes no sense.

100% agree and I've been saying this as well. Dalton is collecting easy money holding a clipboard and while we would still not be a good team with Dalton, a win here and there does wonders for moral--the team and fans.

Question, would our record have been 1-10 if Dalton started the last 5 games? Again, the man was in a no win situation. Tepper wouldn't let him bench Bryce an Bryce isn't NFL ready.

Yup. Reich couldn't win with the rookie and couldn't bench him either. Frank was in a no win situation...as I stated numerous time.

I hate to say told you guys so, but I TOLD you guys so. No wonder Frank wanted out.

Why? I can sum it up in one word: scapegoat.
