It wasn't even 4th and Goal, that's what makes it worse, he could have tried to scramble for a 1st down as it was 4th and 1 at the 5ish. And yea, T-Mac is a #1, told ya'll for the last 2 years, hahaha

I've been saying this since the middle of last year. He's not a good QB but he has a live arm and isn't afraid to try any throw, he'll cost us games, but he'll help develop these young pass catching weapons better than Bryce will. Just develop them for the year and go back to figuring out the QB situation next offseason.

Will it though? Not sure how anyone can defend him after this one, yes, we've had other issues too, but he's been awful

"was" but most certainly isn't now, T-Mac is the real freaking deal, he's shown it today too. Miscommunication on that pass he didn't turn his head on just now, but beyond that, he's looked the part

seriously? throwing it away on 4th down? cut him now, fug

damnit, give him that catch

No way he goes to a team with an OC as a HC, he'd go somewhere with a defensive minded coach so he can just run the offense how he pleases. Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up somewhere like with the Lions

Should have been the gameplay from the start He had a nice catch on that play that was called back too.

Yep, hope for a PI call to then be able to kick a FG That half was just embarrassing

Will they still do a halftime after all this or will they just do halftime as if it's in between quarters and take a long commercial break?

The Florida based teams really should never open the season at home in Week 1

Arizona's game was also delayed 2 some hours last night as well Now this Apparently I must have pissed of Thor this week, sorry Greg

I mean, what do you want them to show you, nothing going on in our game because it's in a delay? Of course they're going to show something

Seriously? Kyler getting sick last night before a game they should win easily Do I just start Jordan Love in what should be a high scoring game and not risk it? What a way to start the season, lol

I'm just hoping they put Hunter on T-Mac in the redzone so we can get the NFL version of this

Uh, what now? Horn Jr listed as 3rd on the outside instead of as the backup slot, which is currently left blank? Can't tell if that's just some weird oversight or the team taking a shot at Horn Jr and saying they feel he's playing like a 3rd stringing despite us not even having a backup slot right now.

I swear I just saw a report yesterday that was the literal opposite, how he stayed in Charlotte this offseason and completely re-vamped his body and conditioning and was looking great because of it.

Is he healthy enough yet to be the starting slot in Week 1? If not, does that mean Horn Jr is going to be our #3 in week 1 with Moore being #4? Talk about going from a position of strength a week ago to one with big question marks right now. Overpaying to get T-Mac in my auction draft Monday night is starting to look much more appealing right now than it did a week ago as well. I figured there were enough mouths to feed and he was still a rookie, but now, he's looking like he could see a seriously high number of targets this year.

That happened to me once, hahaha Because our agency's main client had huge layoffs, we had to have our own batch of them. The agency really didn't think through who they were cutting and why, it was purely based on the department/team you worked in. After a month, they called me and said they wanted me back in the same role but on another team. I told them I was already getting interviews/offers for jobs/salaries much better than I had there as they should have given them to me years before. In the end, I got a 2 title bump, a 20% raise, and started the day after my severance from the layoffs ended (which was sizable as I had been there 5 years). So I got a big promotion and raise to get a free 6 week paid vacation before starting on the new team. The problem was that I turned down a job that I knew I should have taken instead, as I knew it wasn't a good fit on that team for me. But I was arrogant and liked knowing the whole office would know they had to give me a huge raise given my new title and I took it purely for that reason, and of course it then went exactly like I thought and I hated it.

No he didn't, he was perfectly happy here until the Vikings badly needed a WR and showed interest. He didn't "want out" as you say, he just wanted this opportunity once it arose. I still think we should have played hardball and demanded more for him, not because he was worth it in a trade, but because he was worth more to to our team than the return we got for him.

He took a paycut AFTER he left. But PLEASE let it come out that the Vikings and Thielen's agent had a secret discussion we didn't permit about Thielen taking a paycut if they made the trade. Would end up netting us another draft pick in the end.

And this is why you don't trade Thielen away for peanuts, SMH

That's sometimes the case when it comes to the X's and O's of the game, and in film study. But when it comes down to the little things like hand/foot movement to beat X, Y, or Z coverage off the line or any other number of nuanced like that, basically the things players are discussing on the sideline between series, that's where the vets come into place. Those are the things that if the coaches who didn't have a ton of success were good at, they'd likely have had more success in their careers. But either way, none of that changes that coaches can only do so much, having vets to lean on is imperative to young players in their early years, it's not really even debatable.

Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
