TylerDurden

3 things inevitable in life: Death, taxes, and CJ Henderson being in your worst performers by PFF grade every week.

Don't forget the buzzword, "point guard"! He's a point guard at the QB position... yet, TMJ didn't get a single touch, iirc, Chark got 1 or 2 touches, Hurst barely got the ball, I dont think Ian Thomas got a touch, he hyperfocused on Thielen in the first half then forgot about him for almost all of the second, and Viska who is probably our most dynamic, gamebreaking player on offense only got, like 3 touches max. But, SuPeR PrOcEsSoR!

The defense is a fuging wet dream. I love it. But man, I was vocal about what a lazy, uninspired, limp dick hire I thought Reich was when it happened... but then, I bought into the PR hype - the original team connections,first QB in team history, Capers, superstar coaching staff, etc. And I drank the kool-aid and just wanted to believe it was divine intervention - we were finally due for a shift in the destiny of our franchise. I wanted to be optimistic and believe that finally having a offensive-minded HC and progressive staff would give us the high-powered, aggressive offense we had always dreamt of... and then the preseason happened. Then the season started... and this poo is worse than Rhule's offenses. My initial feelings on Reich were critical, and I just felt he was underwhelming as a HC, but even in that initial take, I never ever would've imagined the poo would look this bad even if they started the 32nd best QB in the league. This poo is incredibly bad.

Yeah, I was just thinking after the game last night... had we just signed Carr or a guy like Huntley or Brissett, played the year out, we would've hovered around the Top 10 again next draft, and then could've traded up (likely wouldnt require moving up to #1 so wouldve been much cheaper) for Williams, Maye, or Sanders, etc., all coming out, all of whom I would feel way more confident about over trading up to 1 for Bryce this year, AND one of those guys could come in and sit behind the aforementioned vet options, much like Mahomes did. But nope, we had to shoot our dick off for a glorified game manager this year and give up a Top 5 WR and invaluable draft capital to do so. Again, AR, Stroud, or Hooker were all infinitely better options than Bryce translating to the pro game, so the sting would be so much less had we taken one of those other guys versus what we're seeing now. And this poo is compounded because when you trade that much and push all your chips in the table for a guy at 1, you are forced to play him whether he is ready or not, so we're stuck with at least two years of this poo.

I have really thought about if we should change the Keep Pounding slogan to simply "Next Year." You know, because thats usually the most common phrase used here once we hit about week 8 every season.

Good. Thomas is a piece of poo. Was it against the Vikings he threw that dirty blindside block the knocked a guy out? Actually, I think he's done it a lot, and guys like that really don't give a poo about another player's health or humanity. Good on DB. If Thomas got ran over by a bus tomorrow, I would feel like the world is a better place.

The chiefs do not do this "every" sneak play. I dont recall ever taking Cam out in a shirt yardage situation. If you're talking about when we would out him in on short yardage... well, yeah, why wouldn't you? You cite the Pats did it with Gronk there... ok, maybe for a different look, but they didn't do it every play - LOL Tom Brady is renowned for how efficient his QB Sneak was, so he was doing it plenty. Then you cite the Saints doing it with Hill. Again, didn't do it every play bc I recall the Saints converting plenty sneaks with Brees, especially against us. So, I don't know if you were just trying to be a contrarian, but again as I said, we subbed him out both times in those situations, no exceptions. And I have never seen that for a full game. So I stand by that statement. Now, perhaps they did it just as a specific look for this game, but this came after someone here even said that Reich openly said that Bryce will never sneak it. So there's that...

While Tua has put up some impressive games, if you watch them play, he singlehandedly leaves so many points and big plays on the field every week, especially since they got Tyreek. I can't count the number of times that ive turned their games on and Tyreek beat his man over the top but has to work his way back to an underthrown ball 40 some yards down the field. To his credit though, at least he tries those passes. Bryce wont even do that.

While true we dont know what Brees would've looked like as a rookie, Im convinced he would've looked way better than this. He would've looked functional at the very least. Bryce does not look like a starting NFL QB. PJ Walker was a better NFL starting QB than Bryce is to this point. Just like with the JT O'Sullivan videos, hes taking 1 or 2 plays each game and claiming it shows these great skills which make Bryce a future elite QB, but then he ignores the 98% of the rest of the game he played that shows something else, mostly because he likes the guy. I wanted him to be good. I wanted him to prove me wrong for the success of our team... but he isn't good, and I dont see anything that would make him any better under another coach or playcaller. He is undersized, he has a weak arm, and he lacks touch on any throw 20+ yards downfield. We literally also subbed him out multiple times on 4th and 1s last night, which in all of my years of watching football, I have NEVER seen. So he cant run those plays and defenses can compress the field down to 15 yard increments because they dont respect him and dont feel he can hit or will even attempt to throw it deep at all... and judging from the attempts he's made deep, I dont blame them. He is WAY off.

and: *QB FIFY

Honestly, money aside - Laviska should be splitting the carries with Chuba. I still think Miles is a good player, and maybe still lacking from the injury he had, but as the offense is constructed right now, he isn't the best option.

Thank you, scot. Too lazy for Google and that isn't a reflection of my character lol. I just remembered it started with an F.

Think... how fuging wild is it that this guy canr complete a pass deeper than 20 yards AND you have to sub him out on short yardage. I have never seen any fuging thing like this in my life and I just watched 3 years of a greasy ass car salesman coach the team with nothing but an expertise in business and marketing. This poo is unreal. We have two former pro QBs as the HC and QB coach with oodles of pro experience and they actually thought that poo was acceptable and went it did it.

Ahh I just always assumed when it was lower leg it's usually the tibia. Time to go back and study an anatomy picture lol.

So are they saying high ankle sprain or broken fibula?

Honestly, both will be 10+ year starters in the NFL. And both have pro bowl+ potential. AR just had to stay healthy. Stroud will be fine. And I maintain Hooker may end uo being the best from the class when healthy. All infinitely better options than Bryce was and I said that from jumpstreet. So, that is saying much, because I think Bryce is barely even a backup- level pro QB.

Can we make an auto filter for Bryce Young to say Chase Daniel from here on out? And I think that's an insult to Chase Daniel.

Not a doctor here, but that is the thigh bone correct? If so, damn!!! That takes a ton of pressure to break, and it was his lower leg they landed on... my guess is the torque from him trying to get up ad they fell on it twisted it and it snapped higher up. That fuging sucks.

He wasn't blocking him. Go back and watch the play. Williams literally picked him up and slammed him after the play was over. Shaq was literally already done with the tackle and getting up from the play when Williams suplexed the guy into him. I was actually surprised the refs didn't call a penalty on it watching it live. It was super late. And no, I didn't infer a guy thought anything. I stated facts. One is a valued leader and highly productive contributor on the defense, and the other is a situational guy that just ended his season by trying to prove a point that didn't have to be made, and was likely illegal in the first place. If they were whooping our ass in the 4th qtr, I get it... but that wasn't the case. I know there wasn't any intent or awareness of who was where when he did it, but the point being, this is the kind of poo that happens to our team.

It was pretty much a given with his reaction and them immediately carting him off. Shout out to DeShawn Williams for being a fuging idiot and body slamming an OT on him for no fuging reason. Smh... one of our team leaders and career Panther knocked out for the season by a dumbass rotational guy on a 1 yr deal wanting to show he was a tough guy for one play. This team is a fuging trainwreck.

I mentioned in the game thread, after he broke that 8 yard run uo the middle out of absolute poo blocking, he jumped up and gestured toward the sideline like, "its about damn time" like he wanted the ball more, and then we immediately subbed him out. He should be our most featured player TBH, and I think he got what? 3 or 4 touches tonight? This poo sucks.

Not writing him off, but he looks horrible. Not a single encouraging aspect of his game thus far. His advertised strengths are some of his biggest weaknesses thus far.

I already said, my hope is Shedeur sneaks into the bottom of the first and we can find enough capital to get up there and get him without it costing too much. If Bryce can't show anymore than he has, which I anticipate he won't, he doesn't deserve to come in as the incumbent starter next season. This is beyond bad.

I have never been more disinterested, brother. I stopped blocking off my Sundays for us towards the end of last season, and now it looks like I'll be taking the same approach moving forward this season. We really fuged up, and it's all on Tepper.
