If they did hold him out healthy, I can only assume they figured he might look bad against that defense and didn’t want the home crowd getting restless. He can struggle on the road. I don’t know, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I think we are at the point where people are looking for reasons.

Capers is Evero’s guy. I don’t what about Caldwell. Is he even in tne building?

He said in the presser after the game he was gonna look at it. It being the RB arrangement.

And then won’t want to play him.

I touched on it, before what you are referencing came out. Pre game in the week he said he liked the split and he liked two fresh RBs etc etc In the postgame he said he would look at it That was a shift and portended a reversal. Or maybe a change. I looked an an analysis of the carries vs Buffalo and without going in the differences in the plays called for each guy, the film showed Chuba wasn’t getting good execution from his blockers And that Rico did get better cooperation. For instance, XL got flagged for holding on Chuba’s biggest run tricky tack call but there were things on almost every play by other guys So he would see that as well, but regardless, the wind is blowing in one direction.

Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined. Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.

That family thing will make you grow up though

Lol I feel more confident too, that something bad will happen. I wouldn’t last a day over there. PS, that guy is the knowingest after all, gotta listen to him.

Ultimate team game. I’d the offense keeps them off the field enough that the defense doesn’t have to stay out there… it impacts stuff. They tightened up and held it to 3 points twice and we could have made a game of it. Anyway…..

Yeah that was what got me. The part of Andy’s game that you you don’t have to worry about was AWOL. Major WTF are you doing stuff, like a rookie.

I’d say could have rather than would have but not doing it was inexplicable.

The board doesn’t seem to have the patience to allow Canales to try a new QB. If that is representative of the rest of the fan base it is going to get ugly.

That is the biggest thing, his floor is Andy vs Buffalo bad and he has not raised it to where we know we won’t see that again. We have seen it opening the season three years running. His ceiling is Dallas, but that hasn’t happened but a small handful of games in 2.5 years. And he has yet to show that if a decent team shuts down our run game they will pay. I think he needs to show that in these remaining games or we should move away from him.

It doesn’t have to be Tepper saying XL or else. people want to analyze in a vacuum of their value system. If you put yourself into the place and time and circumstances to find the motivations for why something was done, you are way out of that nice pure vacuum. Surely I don’t need to restate that our leading receiver from 2023 played a position different from what XL would play? How they are brand new hires tasked with Bryce as priority number one for the 2024 season. They wanted to add to AT. I could keep typing but you what I mean. They did a need pick for the short term because they had pressure on them to get that QB going. They did much better this past year on the WR pick. I kind of got over it.

Lol, yeah. One that costs more than that mascot will make in a lifetime.

If you talk Bryce on his 3rd coach, not counting interim, I can’t do it. edit: we have a season to play out. Just fuging let that happen before we go to firing more coaches.

Yeah, brilliant. Keep Coach killer. Build a college offense. Perfect. I wasn’t saying that to defend Canales, just that it is the next illogical step in the excuse parade. Anybody’s fault but Bryce. Always. Consistency is important.

It’s happened before. Precedent. They’ll start blaming Canales too.

my money is on what Bryce wants Tepper makes sure he gets.

Velopment was probably what was needed.

Shaq knowing the calls and nothing being changed, apparently, is the biggest issue. Or maybe right alongside the 31st run D argument. it is a major fugup. Maybe some signals compromised in the Jax game too if you listen to Saleh. But Shaq knowing the checks and stuff is something you Have to account for. I had that in mind and then we lost the board for hours and just forgot it. Here is where I believe you have to be with a green coach: you know you are going to get rookie mistakes, you see if he learns from it. Two games for the Chuba issue. He is a team captain and got some deference. I didn’t like it especially after we saw the Jets game but I get it. And let’s not pretend if a good run D wants to shut RICO down, they can’t do it. Because they will. Somebody will.

That is valid. I don’t use it but I will do a search and often end up there on an answer to the question. But I can’t navigate that place or don’t want the bother of it I should say.

Well, we weren’t expecting success (rational people anyway) we were looking for signs of it in the future. Some people saw things that weren’t there they wanted it so bad.

Well this specifically is something that is being characterized a certain way by someone grinding an axe.
