This is so baffling to me. They were beating these dudes up running the ball. Right up the gut. Chuba goes the distance…. They haven’t found a way to slow him down yet. He could easily be at 75 yards already. And then they go full on air mail? Did Tepper insert some plays he wanted run? This is so opposite to the last 2 weeks. Something is very different.

Your RB is running at 5 yards a clip. things are getting out of control and you desperately need to slow it down to gather yourself and give your defense a break, and you completely abandon the run…. And everyone on the halftime show is straight laughing at us.

This is what no Shaq looks like

And not a hold on their center?

Tough sledding with a new LB play caller, as expected, and it shows.

Just run the ball, please. What kind of play calling is this?

I’m staying the course today with the offense. I want to see if/what halftime adjustments are made. It’s a foregone conclusion that the bears are putting up 7 each possession. If they recommit to the run, the game is still in reach.

Nah, got to give him a full season of hot garbage before he can wear that label. It’s just not going well right now.

So you can lead with your head again?

And this could be a problem, and it would really suck.

I’ll take bad student for $1000, please Alex. but seriously, Bryce is exactly what everyone inwardly knows he is. If he blossoms with another team I’ll gladly eat my words but I don’t think I’ll have to.

Which is why we’re scoring like we are this year. Great line, good QB, good RB, and good receivers. Don’t need world beaters when your o line is strong. This is a 3+ TD team against any opponent in the NFL right now. Andy is very good. Johnson and Adam are B+ receivers. We are starting 2 rookie WRs. Mingo gets a mulligan on last year. Chuba B+, yet we are a threat to score 7 any time we have the ball on O. That’s strong. You think it would be this way without adding Lewis and Hunt? This is why I continue to harp on O line depth. It gets us literally every year. we play on turf. Almost every game. Need. Depth.

We’re not that many pieces away from competing on defense, but the depth is the worrisome part. Three of the 4 teams in this division have artificial turf. Do the math on how many games we play that are actually on natural grass. This team HAS to hit on at least 2 quality, defensive players in this draft. Day 1 starters. Edge. DT. Linebacker. Safety. On offense get depth at center and LT. My plan would be to extend Andy and Adam as I see them as crucial to player development. Detail guys. Adam has some of the best hands next to Christian that we’ve had in a long time. I really like Johnson’s game, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to afford him. He and Adam have so much they can show these young guys.

Anyone else feel like Andy goes off this weekend? Yes, bears D and all of that. 320 22 for 31 3TDs 1 pick. I just want to beat the brakes off a team this year and keep their point total less than 10 so it accurately reflects the true bludgeoning that actually occurred.

Don’t show me this sh*t. It was the last panthers game I decided to torture myself with in the dome. It goes a little something like this: I can’t remember what the play was, but with not much time left, Atl iced it and I told my wife it’s time to go. She said it’s not over yet, to which I replied, babe, I’ve watched this team play a thousand times, I know how it goes in the dome, bla bla bla. As we’re almost to the ground floor, I hear the place get quiet as a church and then the sound of people panicking. Someone mentioned the panthers scored. We rushed to the gift shop to look at the tiny ass tv they had near the ceiling. I was, and still am so sick over missing that epic moment. Had we won, that would have been our version of the Mike Vick levitating play. I will never, ever, walk out on a panthers game early ever again.

This man has to be locked up for another 2-3 seasons to groom our current young talent and to groom his successor. People take for granted how fortunate this team right now to have a QB basically rescue this team from the brink of dark despair.

Johnson and Chuba would put a contract out on Bryce if he were to ever be made the starter again. They would lose millions

Too late to edit, but read my post and need to post a clarification. I meant to say “these are straight up DUDES.” The way I wrote it was quite ambiguous

If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such. You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well. Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men. Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this. Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS. He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

Bro is also putting millions in Johnson’s bank account. Can you imagine how he felt after game 2?

We now have someone who can walk the walk, and the entire team knows it.

It’s a tough call. I love the guy’s game and it’s really difficult to find a player who can do what he does…. But it’s almost like ptsd. We have a history of getting roasted with overpaying 1 year wonders and it ends up setting us back. On the flip side, we have the chance to have 3 really, really good receivers for the first time since…. 2003… Dude goes across the middle and is not shy of contact. His YAC is impressive. priority numero uno of the offseason is locking Andy up for at least 2-3 years. Critical for developing Mingo and XL. I really want Thielen back. Is there room for Johnson to stay with what he’ll demand? Either way, I’m really enjoying the ride and do trust Morgan. I’m being patient with his additions. Thus far, not a peep from Tep which is refreshing.

Panthers have been good for my fantasy team. I highly endorse this air mail, completely irresponsible behavior. I have Chuba and XL. Did nicely this Sunday. I benched T Hill for XL.

100% Andy has probably put an easy $8 million in dude’s bank account.

I think if the mentoring by Thielen and Andy goes like I hope and truly believe it will, X, by game 12 will have us saying Johnson who? My prediction is that by week 7, we will have traded Johnson for a solid linebacker and X will start really coming on. Additionally, Dalton is THE guy that Mingo needs. Dalton can put the ball anywhere. He’ll put it exactly where Mingo wants it to be. Confidence is essential, especially at WR. Mingo has seen a season of hospital balls and off target circus catches. It doesn’t take a genius to see how skills would atrophy and the demotivating funk sets in. You see how this 5’9” kid is about to kill a career you’ve worked your whole life towards? Naw, bruh. I really couldn’t imagine. You put in to that kind of work your whole life, get drafted and think your dream is coming true, then you meet your starting QB. There would be a full metal jacket, how’s that bar of soap feel, meeting. He may not blossom, but this is his one chance to show the NFL that he’s actually useful. I’m telling y’all, you can’t have better mentors for young receivers than Dalton and Thielen. Here’s the correct way to do this with surgical precision. Our home growns will finally develop. Johnson will blow it up this year and the allure is there, but for the first time since 2003, we have mentoring that is capable in helping a raw WR talent realize potential.
