Because we've played 3 of the worst teams in the entire league the past 3 weeks. The Jets and Dolphins literally might be the 31st and 32nd best teams in the league, while the Cowboys have literally the worst defense in the NFL. And we just eked by with wins in each of those games, if you actually think that's showing growth, then I don't know what to say.

I think I'm going to start taking screenshots of the people saying we should just be celebrating wins anytime we get them. Then in a few weeks after we get smashed by good teams like the Bills and Packers, go and find the posts they're making complaining about our coaching decisions and play calling by those exact same posters. Because you know it's going to happen.

I don't think winning when looking like poo and making the same mistakes we always make is taking baby steps, it's just spinning your tires while stuck in the mud. Growing pains by definition involve actually growing, something we can't seem to do under Canales, week after week of the same problems, that's not growth, it's a problem.

Exactly, I had no issue with using T-Mac mostly as a decoy today because of the matchup with Sauce, sometimes that's the best use of your top WR in a game like this. But once he left the game, I'm not even sure if T-Mac saw a single target the rest of the game. It doesn't matter that we won the game, if you can't objectively look at that and realize it's poor coaching decisions, then you just don't know football, at all. This will always be taken the wrong way because it's me saying it about T-Mac, but that doesn't mean it's not 100% correct.

Not even the slightest, because we'd still not have looked good. I've said it before, I'm not going to just enjoy wins where we look like dog poo because of our play calling, I'm going to call it out every time. If you honestly think Canales called a good game today, then you don't know a single thing about football. We won the game, but we didn't look good doing so. You're someone who says to stop crying and enjoy the win, but I'll bet you're also going to be the same person who is complaining the next few weeks when we're getting beat by actual good teams while we're playing the EXACT same way we played today.

Credit where credit is due, he had a great game. But I still don't trust him purely from a mental side of things, he has the worst football IQ I can remember seeing from a player of ours in recent memory. Personally, if I'm Morgan, I'm calling up WR needy teams after this game and trying to trade him, just like we should have done last year with Bryce when he had some trade value still.

Barely won against the literal 2 worst teams in the league right now and the 3rd team has the league's worst defense which allowed us to win that game. Not really sure that's the thing to be bragging about, we're about to go up against some real heavy hitters. If we keep doing the same stuff, we're about to get blown out in a whole bunch of games.

5 targets for your best player when you threw it 31 times is just crazy talk, especially after Sauce left the game early. But I'm not even upset about that as much as I am upset with Canales' overall play calling again, just right back to stale and predictable. The weird part though is we randomly have some great play designs that scheme players wide open, why are we only able to do that one or two times a game?

Does Canales run it here or play for the win and throw it?

Yea, it's those quick out throws to T-Mac, but we lined him up in the slot instead. AlthougH I do think the play was meant to go to him and he looked open, but Dalton was about to get hit and had to just throw it up in the direction he was already facing.

I mean, he spun out of the tackle and was running to his left when he threw it. I'll be honest, I just assumed he was out of the pocket at that point given how much he had moved back there, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm 1 million percent sure it got back to the LOS though

No, it clearly got back to the LOS and he was out of the pocket

That is a sack that is 100% because of Bryce's size/strength. He was barely touched by the defender, but he lacks the lower body strength to stay upright.

So many throws there that were off target because of noodle arm's inability to throw when he's off base. How does half the fanbase and the staff not see this?

He wants to see more passes to T-Mac (half joke because it's me saying it, half likely true because Gronk is also a Wildcat lol)

I was going to say, when the home crowd boos their team off the field at the half, but it's still only a 10-3 game, that's not exactly the most encouraging thing for the team in the lead either.

Shocking, calling plays to get your best player the ball results in good things, maybe do that more

No thanks, not a fan of a blue helmet. I'd be all for black being our standard helmet and then having a white alternate though.

Missed a wide open WR and then floats a pass that should have been driven. Again, he has the worst arm of any starting QB in the league, it's a problem.

The Texans were not relocated, brand new franchise that just happened to be in a city that used to have a team.

Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though. Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems. Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.

Didn't we just do that a week or two ago? Where a TE was killing us and then we started covering him with Horn the rest of the game to stop it? Was it Waller?

Whoever made this missed a huge opportunity to make it a million times better Should have then had XL on there with "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" in a quote bubble next to him

Same-ish here, 12 team league with only 1 TE spot, but we have a WR/TE flex spot as well. Most teams carry 2 TE's with a few who actually carry 3, so yea, not easy to get quality TE production in my league. The Vikings weird usage of Hockenson is killing me, he's gone multiple games where he doesn't have a catch through 3 quarters. Then when they're playing from behind in the 4th, they'll just dink and dunk to him a bunch of times for chunks of yards and end up getting close to 10 points in the end. Why not just use him all game if he's so effective in the 4th? Gonna plays Taylor though, I figure they won't put Horn on him until/unless he is making a bunch of plays, at which point I'll probably have my points out of him by then anyways.

What are the chances we just put Horn on Taylor to take away their only receiving threat left? I want to start Taylor in fantasy, but I'm afraid that's what we might end up doing and it could come back to bite me (although not like Hockenson is a much better option these days either).
