It seems like the only time he gets heavy with the run is when the QB forces him to. And it should have the other night.

You were a Wilks guy right? I was too. There is a difference in attitude between defense and offense. I know there are several excellent offensive minded guys doing a great job it is just a bias I have, that I admit. I grew up a fan of hard nosed ball and great defense.

I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been. In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

I see your level of annoyance. I just don’t see the same level of commitment to the cause. I don’t know who is a 100% go down with the ship Canales stan. You might think I am because I try to be patient about it but you would be wrong.

And he isn’t faultless. By any means. But I agree you can’t fairly evaluate anyone with Bryce.

That is worldwide. Sure it happens here too. The American way is work you way up the ladder. Hard work. Not afraid to get your hands dirty. Or it used to be. or marry the boss’s daughter, that always works too.

Here we go.

No way. People that support Bryce are entrenched and rabid. It isn’t the same level of commitment. You can be equally annoyed but those two groups are not equally invested. I have or had other valid reasons for not wanting Canales prematurely fired. We have had a revolving door of coordinators, GMs, HCs for too long and I think we are seeing the benefits of continuity in the development of some of these younger players and the draft process that acquires them. I am really not a big personal fan of Canales. I was never a fan of getting an Offensive minded flavor of the week coach whether it was Canales or any other trendy play caller pick. I also think I understand how huge the job is and know his experience level makes it a given that there will be frequent missteps. I made a policy of way more patience than I naturally possess in the case of Morgan and Canales. But I am not riding Canales to the bottom while blaming he doesn’t have this or that. I have felt that I would like to see him get another QB before folding on him, because I wouldn’t wish Bryce on anybody. At the same time some poo is wearing thin.

Can’t disagree. Anointed. Hated it then, would hate it again. Entitlement type of crap and honestly it is unAmerican lol. There is a lot gained when you and others know you have earned your way. Respect from self and from from coworkers comes with that.

They never even tried to pretend that he had to win tne job. I hated that. At least make it a fake competition for appearances. Naw, just install him.

It was not the first time. But it all runs together. I can’t remember if it was him or the year before Frank whee saying during the week they were gonna have to get someone involved more and the game comes and it never happens. Seems to me you make them prove they can stop your run game before you just go to throwing the ball. OTOH I understand setting up the run with the pass as well but throw those backs out there and see what SF can do.

If Dave goes it will end up with Nicole; she’ll be Charlotte’s version of Georgia Frontiere. Which maybe she will, mostly, allow football people to run things.

I really think a lot of what people took from last season was kind of what they wanted to take, but I am not sure it was justified. There is a relativity thing in play. Said it before last year started too, 2024. And it is, simplified, that he was so bad that he could be twice as good and still be below average. Very general estimates there but the point is he had a long way to go to be good vs NFL standards. I think he was better but not there. People saw it relative to how bad he had been and blew it up to something it wasn’t. I mean yes he was much better, but better than what? He needed to show improvement this season over his ‘resurgence’ to finish 2024. That is proving to be difficult for him. He has topped out. His ceilings are okay to good, and when he plays Atlanta, very good. But his floor is still really low. I don’t think that is changing this year if it didn’t against the Saints and on Monday. I am okay with pulling the plug and really don’t feel the need to watch him play out the string. I guess he has 5 games to flip that.

I am ready to call it. 2 of the last 3 weeks have been horrible. I am for sure at the point I fear more false positives. Like that’s about all we have gotten from him the entire time.

We won’t have the same mindset under offensive coaches that we had with Fox and then Rivera. Fox, first thing he said was you aren’t tough enough. We have a head coach now that came up in the participation trophy generation. I know that can work too but I like the hard asses.

Getting the level of production we have now, doesn’t seem like it would be hard. If we just want a new fugup. Which we need better. I am ready to start the churn. Trot them out and see if we can find one that sticks.

Levis has some ability. But such a bonehead. I wouldn’t want to put any trust in what I saw in Tennessee. One thing, he may have had the big head a little thinking he had more rope than he had and now knows, probably, he blew it. I wonder if there is any sense of just give me one more chance and I will cut out the stupid stuff and listen. Is it possible he has matured?

Couple of years ago we were talking about a billboard. I doubt anything would have much effect. Tepper truly has FU money.

I think it was really obvious that Frank was not allowed to bench Bryce, and that Tepper believed he was ready to come in and start right away and wasn’t hearing any push back from Frank. The flap about the footwork that we heard about, was late in the game but it felt like there was a running feud over stuff like that. Tepper should have listened to Frank.

Can’t say I am looking forward to it

Free country bro. I don’t like the word. I don’t like a couple of other words. I get that they put themselves out there and make all the money and they need some thick skin. Just certain words, I don’t like when people casually drop them on someone, Like I said, say they suck, say any number of things, just certain words I feel are so demeaning they shouldn’t be used in the context of someone’s sports ability. If you steal rob rape murder, okay you can be called trash and a lot worse but if you can’t make a jump shot, I don’t like hearing it.

He was definitely the consolation prize for missing out on Milton Williams. I think he is here mostly because of Tillis’ KC history.

I guess not. Do we have enough guys to play?

I think those that got sucked back in weren’t ever really out. Anyhow, it is hard to downgrade a franchise record passing day. You just acknowledge it and look forward. I had a feeling the plan was pass against them because they are weakest in pass defense. I wasn’t sure what that would look like but I didn’t picture it being that bad. I didn’t picture 3 Ints and being bad enough to negate them. It was stupefying. For people touting his clutchness… and I thought he had some, he took the field knowing that a win puts his team in first place in the division. And completely folded.

Who the hell ever gets a 94? Damn Jaycee. Rico got like 77 for putting up well over 200 yards rushing.
