I forgot about that. That did go pretty poorly. Even if it wasn’t his idea, you know he signed off on it.

The NFC E seemed like a good division for his style. I wasn’t even thinking about minority guys in TB (but you are right), it was driven by their history of team makeup and defensive focus and success. Outside of a couple of Brady years. And Gruden. Forgot about him.

Well I am - at least for now - glad we don’t have three daughters that inherited the team, running it like they are in Indy. Maybe they’ll be great but I am pretty skeptical.

I never thought Jim Irsay was that bad. Yes he hired Saturday to coach, and yes he liked to party probably too much (and knew how, he kept some top pro musicians employed for a lot of shows and parties, and had a massive and great guitar collection) but that team was good for years at a time. Yes he had top QBs I know, but he made the right pick when the time came to pick one.

I think you are on point with the throwing to spots. It is the only way it could work if you can’t see your target. And to backtrack just a little, these incompatibilities seem to show up more with Bryce at QB than I remember seeing with other QBs in the past. Not really user friendly for all users. I don’t know why and don’t expect an answer, just observing. Maybe my perception is not in line with reality.

And totally whiffed at the end when 30 or 35 yards or something gets us a FG shot. My memory isn’t what it used to be but all the Bryce defending that was done around that play sequence, was misplaced IMO. The last play, the pass was decent and not caught and you can fairly put that on the WR. The first three plays? Not good at all. Really not good. Serious chance to make honest to goodness big time throws, fumbled.

If not true, I would have to think Tomlin could possibly be in play at some point.

Winning 8 games and the home playoff atmosphere might have done us in.

Hell he is born coach assassin. Wanted to fire Tomlin when he was part of the Steelers minority owners. So they say. So yeah I guess he could do something like that.

Thank you Frank I would have overlooked that probably. And already lost another account. Sometime after 2023 I lost access to the main one. Luckily I had this account just for the phone because I used to travel and didn’t have the original sign in handy. So when I got locked out of the original I already had this one to use

Thank you for posting that. Mine was outdated.

I would like to think he isn’t that stupid.

It is because there is not a good connection. We saw it with Renfro too. He was getting open and wasn’t seeing the ball. You can explain that however you want to I don’t know how to say it a different way.

That would be the most insane thing that could happen.

I see a lot of people who apparently think the coach is holding the QB back. Not the opposite. Which surprises me. Whatever, I guess. What will be, will be. So who is the next guy that probably won’t take the job, that y’all want?

So which NFC is a fit? Tampa if Bowles fumbles it his year? Tepper was allegedly wanting his head when in Pittsburgh ownership group. I thought about us and our history of being defensive oriented. Kind of old school. But then the owner…..

If there is actual pressure on Young they might be finally getting it. I am not going to advocate for Canales I just don’t see it as being in crucial mode. Code red level. I would see that as the next step in event of failure to bounce back. He is here in the first place because they couldn’t attract established HCs or up and coming hot coordinators. like always, it will play out how it’s gonna play out. ps what 3 games are you saying Canales lost? Thats like saying this was an 11-6 team if not for him. And that does not sound right to me.

Anyway, it is good news, potentially. The last 24 hours have seen many glitches and errors and failures to load or handshake etc. like what we saw before it went down the last time. So this is right on time.

For some reason I see Buffalo as a good spot for him. Similar to Pittsburgh in a few ways. They have kept coaches longer than many, and are kind of working class. And have a QB. If the new hire falters and Tomlin wants back in, could be something there.

Yeah there is that. If that puts the interest at a level where there are multiple teams with that on their mind you can trade him. A solitary team or one with only a mild case of they can fix him, can wait for his release. It just takes two teams to want him.

He has insulated himself some with Bevell and ceding the play calling to Idzik. Normally ceding play calling is something done under pressure as a last resort whether D or O, this doesn’t on its face appear to be that close to crisis mode. At all. But maybe it is preventative. Preemptive. Tepper bring so predictably unpredictable makes for all possibilities being in play but I get the sense that it would take a scandal, a huge collapse, something of that nature to trigger the nuclear solution.

He should. Tomlin too.

Pills and shots were pretty big in the ‘70s, as far as the public finding out about the seedier side of pro football. Check out the movie North Dallas Forty it is a plot line. If you haven’t. They have gone full corporate/deep state mode and whitewashed that stuff from the public consciousness but I would bet the players (and coaches and trainers) are well aware of the pill and needle solution that lets them stay on the field through injury and keep that big contract. The story is the same we just don’t hear it much anymore. I am not judging TD over that though I would have done the same thing probably. Whatever it takes….

At least put his book bag on his shoulder.
