They were 5-4 after years now of never being above .500. I don’t think that is a lose the locker room situation. He allowed them to become overconfident and didn’t slap them back into focus.

Lol. So…. 150 and a TD if we won, would do it. Stans be blooming like daffodils in the spring.

Yeah I guess that was a useless observation

I guess Rozeboom gets the green dot now.

Figure out how to make his cell phone get left the locker room and while he is getting it, get that bus on the road to the airport.

He seems to own Atlanta somehow lately, or we do. This is the guy that won’t die. He will do just enough to get the stans excited. It is our fate.

You’ll get that mofo under your tree and like it.

OMG poor Colts fans. they are winning right now so it is probably just a novelty but whoa if they start losing and I am the coach dealing with that.

yeah I have been duly informed of that last couple of years. I just don’t remember them to the tune of three per game average. I wasn’t really interested enough to ask if that was air yards or if someone caught a swing pass and broke something off.

This is hilarious. Which one of you guys made this lol? There is no pretense of civility or restraint the dude just unloads on Bryce.

WTF am looking at? I assume that is Irsay’s daughter the now owner but is that real?

The adage “if you have 2 QBs you have none” comes to mind. And the last guy they need to be in the middle of controversy like that is little man. Allowing that to happen undermines the objective they were assigned which puts them in jeopardy. It works out for them either way if they don’t fug it up. Either Bryce is better and shows it or he shows he is not the future. They can survive either of those outcomes.

Which is exactly why it wasn't made, seems to me.

You have a good two years of it right there.

People worry about it because of the same huge issue that has affected everything since he was over drafted. QB is such an outsized influence anyway and when they keep trotting him out there hoping for a different result, people need to understand why that is happening. I guess. Man I expected exactly what the Saints did, but didn’t expect it to be That bad from Bryce. Things are really getting interesting.

If he put down the mandate of Bryce on the hiring of the coach and GM, he can step back and not involve himself in the daily details, with his influence still impacting the daily and the macro view. I agree with the guy that said people would hate me when if I were owner, because it is my way or the highway at the point I own the team. I like to think I would listen to pros and accept their reasoning, until it proved to be flawed and then I would snatch up some of that ownership power and wield it.

Sorry for being dense. I guess you are saying the consensus is what I bolded, and that they were really done with Bryce when they benched him? Or the first part before that? Myself, I didn’t go for that when I saw him get the garbage time opps but I guess I have seen that from people. It would have been nice if the mechanical fixes took, but they obviously haven’t.

That morale bomb, you could see that early in the year with the defense I thought. Then they pulled the Miami game out and it got better for a while.

I see Morgan as managing the problem as best he can by doing what he can everywhere but that QB room. I don’t know what any person in that job could really do to eliminate the Bryce element unilaterally, without the owner becoming irate. If I have the owner’s position figured correctly, that is. If he can somehow maneuver his way through this poo maybe he gets to tackle the QB room after this year.

We have a consensus? What is it? All I see is arguments about it.

I am reading that stuff about 30 deep completions or whatever it was and thinking to myself, “what? Where was I when this happened?” 10 games. That is 3 a game, do I need to look at each passing chart to count them? I guess so.

it seems like it to me. It makes sense to me, anyway. Tepper’s overriding interest was making Bryce work. At least for me, I can explain things that I have seen easier if I accept that as a premise. We don’t have actual hard evidence of anything so it is a ‘what if’ free for all with people left to decide what they think happened. Also, I don’t know about GM interviews but I can easily imagine some coaching candidates not wanting to be tied to Bryce.

I think both angles could have factored. I mean, we have a conversation about it and I say “well Andy knows the offense and is a positive for Bryce” and you say “plus, if we bring someone who would really compete we may be making a problem for ourselves” and I say “fair point, let’s go with Andy”. edit: this assumes there was a Bryce is the unquestioned starter mindset which I do assume myself.

Reasonable. I do like the idea of revisiting the how we found Jake model. For a couple of reasons.

I definitely think we should target a backup, under the age of around 28 or so. Someone we could get 5 or 6 years out of preferably. If they were the real deal.
