I’m not worried about their offense. I fully believe our defense is legit. I haven’t researched it, but from watching them, it seems like their defense is not too hot this year… whether our offense can score or not will determine if we can win or not. I think Bryce being out increases our chances of scoring.

Also, hard to believe Atlanta has won 3 games. If they want to win, Penix has to sit. But I’m thrilled if they want to keep playing him.

Darnell Mooney is over this poo

It’s crazy, again, bc I didn’t expect him to be a world beater, but I thought Penix would be solid. He had the tools. He was accurate in college. He has a relatively strong arm. But, it’s like everything is a tick behind for him.

Penix is getting his ass whooped

The quality of the targets and catches matter. Just look at that final catch to seal the game. That throw is there every Sunday, but tell me the last time you saw Bryce do a 3 step drop and chuck it on a streak down the sideline? He doesn’t and he won’t. That’s one of XL’s strengths. He’s big and fast enough to beat his man off the line more often than not, or just to get in the gap between the corner and safety in zone and stress the defense. Bryce just isn’t looking for that throw because he’s uncomfortable attempting it. That’s automatically cuts down quality attempts and touches for the offense. To his credit, Andy trusted XL and attempted it, but even he under threw it and XL had to make a great adjustment and come back and get it. If our QB could hit XL on those streaks and drags/crossers/slants with some fuging conviction and anticipation, rather than XL having to slow down and reach behind him or fall down to get it, I promise you, he would look like everything you’d hope he would be.

I would be stoked with either one of them.

Fiz mentioned in the game thread, that looked more like a broken bone type deal, and he’s in the medical field. I would tend to agree, as a grizzled veteran of ankle sprains, I would be surprised if that’s what it is. Didn’t appear that he rolled it at all.

Yeah, it’s surprising how quickly Dalton has deteriorated from the time he stepped in last season. Age caught up fast. Hooker was one of the guys I wanted us to look at as a possible backup/competitor to Bryce when he came out in the draft, but from what Dan Campbell said and what I’ve read, Hooker was pretty frustrating to watch in Detroit… so we may be in for a rough go of it.

Chuba is a good guy and well-liked in the locker room, I think that plays a big role in it. It’s hard to take that guy’s job and give it to someone else, no matter the margin. That being said, I’ve always felt Chuba has had his limitations, but he was a lone bright spot on the offense for a lot of years recently, so we rewarded him for it - both with playing time and a contract. And I appreciate Chuba, but in now seeing him and Rico side by side, Chuba needs to only come in to provide Rico a breather. Sure, Chuba may be having trouble getting back in the groove coming back from his injury, but he’s never really been a runner with a lot of suddenness. But I feel like bigger than strengths or weaknesses, this feels like a case of “if you have 2 RBs, you have no RBs.” Which is weird, bc historically it can work, but these guys don’t seem to complement each other very well.

You can tell even with his approach going into this year, he desperately wants Bryce to work, and to the detriment to our team. Even with the last-season surge last year, he should’ve hedged his bets and brought in a legitimate QB or developmental prospect to compete with Bryce. So yeah, I fully expect him to give the 5th year option, and probably not bring in any competition.

Horn is a fuging baller. And funny, prolly half the board wanted to get rid of him before the extension.

One thing is for certain. We need to acquire two QBs before next season.

Nope. He wouldn’t have even attempted it.

I want all of you who have sh*t on XL to STFU and redirect your frustration towards the source - Bryce Young. You see what can happen when someone can throw the ball to him? And Dalton’s arm is shot lol.

This. And as everyone saw, I always give him credit where it’s due, but we would be such a better offense with a real NFL QB.

I honestly do wtf Canales is doing at all today. Him insisting on splitting series with Chuba and Rico has definitely hampered the ability to generate any sort of rhythm. And the Jets are basically doing all out blitzes on a proven, veteran QB in Dalton, and instead of calling something to counter it, DC dials up fuging playactions and these long ass drop backs.

Princely finally got his sack! He’s deserved that. Been close a lot. Now keep playing him!

I like Chuba, but he’s not playing well today, rodeo. And I really like Chuba as a person. I have stated before that I was disappointed in his lack of home run ability was disappointing and surprising, considering his reputation coming out of college. He was known for speed. He doesn’t seem very explosive as a pro, but he’s been the best, most consistent RB we’ve had. He has severely hampered any rhythm the offense could have today.

Jaycee morherfuging Horn. Your NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Yessir boss.

HOW TF IS THAT NOT PASS INTERFERENCE????????

How did we convince ourselves Chuba was good?

Corbett is playing like ass, but it is a very high chance that Bryce fumbles on that sack if he had been in. The sack would’ve been on Corbett, the fumble would’ve been on Bryce.

They’re not doing a very good job then
