4 plays 2 flags 1 OL down. Rico ballin.

Okay the 1st beer is cracked I give it 3 minutes.

It’s the QB’s specialty. Damn, Rico.

Here we go, Zavala you suck.

On Sundays I drink in self defense. Having cheese puffs and beer, barbecue sandwiches afterwards.

Could be like you thought you were planting an apple tree and got a little berry bush.

yeah. She had to write something, it was Sunday.

I’m my mind he has to perform at a consistently higher level than his norm, more up to his Dallas game, and no valleys. He isn’t good enough at his best to suffer these valleys.

They should do the opposite of what they are doing. We don’t need extra daylight when it doesn’t get dark until almost 9pm. And we need it when it’s dark at 5:15. When I was young I took a factory job Got to work it was dark. Got home and got a shower and look outside, it was dark. Not to mention that I was a healthy young guy and attracted constant attention from my gay supervisor. People think jeans Friday was tough….

I read the Athletic this morning and Russini says McDaniels is staying. We’ll see.

And taking our daylight. It is Jordan Love’s birthday today. In case you were wondering.

It was even worse than that. The following game we were also shutout. Pretty sure. That Green Bay game, then two goose eggs to end the year. Followed by the wonderful first two games of 2024. So 4 straight stinkers. I looked at the box of that GB game a few weeks ago. It was 10 points and around 100-110 yards passing in the first half. He had two TDS the 4th quarter. Around or close to 200 yards passing in the second half. It was mostly a great 2nd half. This year’s Dallas game, he played well or turnover free for 4 quarters, had no numbers really but I thought it was his best game. Along with the Atlanta game at the end of 2024. I think the agreement Bay game was at home too, it won’t be this time. I have to root for him to show something more in these last games because I think they are going to keep him - so he really needs to be better.

He should have said that. Watch the film.

Let him keep dropping. He would be a great 3rd day long shot that you could keep around a couple of years before finding out.

For the right price… but if they did they would be pulling a Tepper, because they are trying to evaluate Shough and taking his best WR away is making it hard on him.

see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog. He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days. Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title. I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were. IMO. They failed, id judged today. I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job. Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix. Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.

If anything, you use Chuba to get more for Rico - if you want to deal him. You say you can have Chuba but not Rico. Until they make that offer you want. If they don’t they don’t. Nothing lost.

You are too harsh. Owners tell GMs what to do all the time. It doesn’t make someone “unfit”. A man unfit for that job could not have had that 2025 draft. And I am not trying to be belligerent I certainly don’t feel belligerent, just trying to use some common sense. Tepper is the last guy that wants to give up on Young. The coach had WRs throwing fits on field and sidelines in view of everyone. He had to do it, but needed permission. I just can’t buy Tepper instigating that. Sorry.

Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young. It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it. After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick. No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that. Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot. The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade which was used to move up for Scourton. That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.

You know we only have him for 9 games right?

I am definitely a Zavala skeptic. I thought he had fixed his issues which were substantial his first year, he was as bad as you will ever see. (But I think I was mistaken) I don’t know what they should have done with Motion. That contract was so bad, it seemed like lose him or work an extension. I do t think they were ready to replace him. My pint about depth is that we had some. That is mostly gone now too. And I was not a big supporter of giving 150 million to two guards. And you know why is was done, to prop up little man. The theme of the Panthers since they drafted him.

I mean, we had some depth at least. Had.

Yeah those were some games. I was fortunate to see LA vs Balt in 1966. Orioles swept them, I had tickets for games 3,4,5 in Baltimore. Had a big dog uncle up there and he hooked me up. 12 years old. It has been a Long time, it is hard to remember the games I only remember a few plays. The big ones. Games 3 and 4 were both 1-0. Game 5 would have been Koufax’s last start, he retired after the year. Game wasn’t ever played. My 12 year old ass was mad lol.

I didn’t know what you meant so, that was needed. Yeah that kind of culture is pretty toxic. If the HC is an offensive genius, okay, but he is a very weird duck. I saw him answering some questions a couple of years ago and he just didn’t seem like the head coach type. Off the wall answers.
