Likely is a variable I can’t calculate, but if it wasn’t for our up down up down fate this year telling me we will win 2 more I would say it is over. 7-10.

Bryce has to go. His body of work doesn’t come close to being enough, and his ceiling doesn’t cancel out his floor which is below NFL starting QB level. I don’t need to even consider the other people with him in the conversation. They are all a distant second.

I wouldn't argue a lot with that except to say the breakdowns on 3rd and 14 and stuff like that, repeatedly, are right there too. I think on our last, or maybe next to last possession the radio guys said it was our 6th of the game. 6 offensive possessions isn’t much to work with.

Yeah it wasn’t an optimistic atmosphere during those long NO marches. Luke is really good at analysis. Lightning fast with it.

Right there, we are beat. They have put one season into a second round investment and gotten returns that the three years spent on our folly cannot match. We have to get off of this Bryce treadmill of mediocrity before we can hope to keep up.

He is, or was, an excellent DB position coach. Was for us. They gave him scraps for his room, because they knew he would get something out of them. And he did. I was never impressed with his DC’ing. People don’t appreciate how different some of these jobs are, he just doesn’t seem to click as a DC. Did better as HC.

He put up 448 yards passing with those poo weapons.

That has been there all season DCs for some reason never exploited it like they should/could have. That last part seems like it is always the Bryce stan answer, he doesn’t have enough around him, buy more weapons.

it was just said as an example of one coach being handicapped. As far as that goes Bryce ain’t much better, if any better at all, than the backup, Rattler. No way we should be paying him that 5th year option money.

And this wasn’t that different than two weeks ago, offensively. Same stuff all game just with a different, unsuccessful, 4th qtr.

I definitely smell 7-10.

Switch QBs and see how those coaches do.

I tend to land there, but that was a 3-10 team today not a playoff opponent. I still have to stick with you can’t fairly evaluate any coach with Bryce running his offense.

This is what I think. Or very similar. I think an upgrade at QB to a guy that can truly make every throw and can see the field would have things humming. Since he has been in at QB we have seen a string of unheralded QBs outshine him head to head and some of the heralded ones have just made me not want to watch any more Bryce. He can have some periods of success inside of games but is just too limited/limiting for winning NFL football. Can’t put two games together back to back. I have been ready for this to be over.

52 in a dome I will take with the kicker we have. Their tying score, we should have just gone for it from our 28 on 4th down. They were back down there in no time. Defense sucked hard.

Yeah I did radio so had to rely on them to know a good throw or a missed one, but my impression is he didn’t really do much horrible it was just not winning football. The wilting in the 4th quarter was bad though. And he limits the offense just by being the QB to start with. As I said I did radio so won’t criticize individual throws or plays too much anyway until I see some video. I can’t get excited about the team with him as the QB. I cannot say I expected to win because of Bryce Young today. I thought defense was going to have to be good and they were poo. He can’t put up much more than low to mid 20s points wise so if they give up anything and don’t get takeaways it gets tough. I hope the people at Mint Street are not as unseeing as so many people here are. 3 games to go.

How about those game winning drives!

And what round was he taken in?

This game has been a long slow descent and now we are finally slipping beneath the waves.

Behind him. Put it out front.

Momentum completely changed after the Icky flag.

Game has been changed.

Hell yes.

This thing with the Panthers right now, seems to be a nature of the beast situation. We honestly cannot outscore people by more than one score. One time out of 13. We can lose by more, no problem. We can keep it close and lose. We just don’t win big. Any time we win, almost, it is by just enough. It feels different to me than teams that have a particularly great year in one score games. Played a lot of them and won more than their share of them. And the next year can’t buy a tight win. (That seems to be the typical scenario) I don’t know why it just feels different than that.

True. They also have established dominance over us going back years. They fuged up these last two weeks though. They let us enter the picture.
