It was a good day for the team. I say this, as a non fan of relentless cheerleading style leadership: I looked at the video of postgame locker room and you can’t tell me those players aren’t bought in. It didn’t look fake to me.

Sad thing is, Bryce will never be as good as Darnold yet is like some huge cause for people, where Darnold just needed to go.

This is the problem, sides. There is performance and talent and there is lack of it. You like the kid I guess, He has a great smile and I feel bad for him because he seems like a really good guy. Reality don’t care about that.

You apologized to people yesterday. You know the truth and have admitted it. I see others doing the same, on and off the wagon every time the wind changes.

The offense can help them by getting a lead. I mean it was the Falcons but 0 points? That doesn’t happen in the NFL very often. I know the Falcons shot themselves in the foot multiple ways but the defense played a part in that 0. The NFL these days, teams are a work in progress for at least the first half of the year. We should see improvement continue for a little while. Throw Luke into any defense it is improved but this one is just waiting for that guy. A guy that could be like, Luke light, Temu Luke, would be a huge shot in the arm.

I only heard him talk a few years back when he got the job and he seemed kind of out there.

I don’t remember Ealy showing this early. But I am old with leaky memory.

I knew that would be hard for him with his arm strength issues because the velocity deficit compared to to standard gives defenders more time to close. I got major disagreement bordering on outrage for pointing it out and I didn’t say I knew, I just speculated that it was a big question. People have to remember this is a league where they parse 100tha of a second in 40 times.

I see. A cat would go insane. Lol.

I am not gonna get exhausted obsessing over semantics, parsing what a decoy is and all that - obviously your fanning is T Mac centric. I should have kept my big mouth shut. Peace.

He needs a QB.

the comp to Charles Johnson, am I misremembering that it took him until his third year to really blossom? Scourton seems ahead of that schedule.

I don’t think that’s true about us being the only team. Lots of teams with top WRs have had successful number twos because of all the attention the one draws.

What you are seeing, I think, is confirmation that he can’t turn it on at will. He randomly strings together some impressive plays and then randomly goes back to coach killer. It just sort of happens. I guess he wakes up as good Bryce one day, but then he sleeps again and you don’t know what you’re getting the next morning.

Gallows humor.

Yeah some convoluted value system they concocted and named ‘big time throws’. Maybe that is what you are referring to? I couldn’t really make it make sense to me on a level where I would use that to assign value, over my eyes.

This board? Yeah no influence. But I don’t believe that is entirely true of the overall fan base. Fan opinion in the stadium and around town on signs or whatever has impacted the status of coaches. It could do the same for a player. Basically to me the opinions of fans are a barometer for what might be in the owner’s mind. I am very gun shy.

Sherlock Holmes in the house. No poo. I have no problem admitting that. The threat is real.

I mean poo, you really don’t want to force the game into Bryce’s hands when he is a turnover machine, if you don’t have to. There will be other games for T Max.

It is a miniature Panther. Like Bryce…

cool you got to play against him. I played against a future NFL RB in high school as a LB and went to meet the guy in the hole for the first time and was on the ground looking up at him going down the field. I went at him with my regular effort. Wrong. I redeemed myself after understanding it was a different game and knocked the ball loose in the backfield later on, but man that guy was a load and as fast as the little guys. Mile Voight UNC was the guy, we lost a close one on a poo call. He was the best player I played against in 3 years. By far. The other RBs were the typical thin fast as hell guys. Yeah I rooted for him too. PS I thought RICO was going to be a good signing, looks like he was a great signing.

The bar is low, you haven’t noticed? The team won with him at QB. At least two huge Stan’s maybe three got off his nuts last week and are right back on them.

Grading on a curve.

Well we aren’t getting the top pick whatever the rest of the year looks like, and we aren’t getting in the playoffs either. So in that sense it doesn’t matter. People are afraid that if he plays like this and we win a few, they will keep him. I am definitely one of those people.

Thanks for the perspective. I was gonna turn on the radio broadcast for the 4th qtr but I was so sure they were gonna blow it and I didn’t want to subject myself to it.
