Did they say that was Matt Ryan's TENTH fumble? They've played four and a half games. Surely that can't be right.

Which is why they're gonna tweak the rules some more. They want it. They're gonna get it.

We might be at the tipping point. Every team has tried to go pass happy on offense with every D built to play the pass first. You might start seeing some teams start to go back to featuring more power running attacks, especially if they don't have great QBs.

What rules are they going to change to further handicap defenses now? They won't high flying, high scoring offense and they're gonna get it one way or the other. The primetime games have been almost universally awful this year.

Just a reminder, Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan combine to make $86.25 million dollars this year.

Russell Wilson throwing to WRs so far tonight... 4/11 for 32 yards

Holy poo. Matt Ryan just threw an INT that would have even Sam Darnold shaking his head muttering "WTF..." Just stared the defender down the whole time before ultimately throwing him the ball.

Wilson really has pretty much looked like a JAG in Denver so far.

This could probably just as easily apply to David Tepper.

1:03 into TNF and we have another Tua situation. Colts RB just got helped up by teammates and was doing the chicken dance.

Update: he looked like the worst of the rookie QBs in preseason.

If I was him I'd be trying like hell to get traded.

It is. Even when we had bad seasons with Cam at least we had hope because if you have a QB you can compete. This is just hopeless.

I'm sure we will at some point at this rate. And then you'll remember why we were desperate to move on from him

Mayfield has sucked but he's currently 12th in the league in average time to throw at 2.72 seconds. If you need the ball coming out considerably faster than that then it's a flawed offensive design. McAdoo is just one of these guys who thinks he's a lot smarter than he is. Talking about how he needs to completely reshape a QB's drop for timing, etc. If your offense relies on the ball coming out perfectly on time all the time then you're fuged. There's 11 guys on the other side of the ball trying to disrupt that.

Unless we have multiple guys running the wrong routes on lots of passing plays, it is indeed bad coaching because way too often we have three receivers running to basically the same spot. Not a good play when one man can cover all your routes.

My bad, I thought Fitts drafted him. Either way, I welcome any evidence that Fitts is going to prove to be a competent GM.

I don't see why we have some folks who are convinced he's going to be a great GM. I don't see any evidence for it and plenty to the contrary.

Can't be. I've been assured that Fitterer is godlike and only held back by Rhule and his staff.

I'm not going to cry about us missing out on nepotism. And I don't think it actually mattered if we had a succession plan in place or not. It seemed pretty obvious that the league had made a deal with Tepper that he was next in line to get a team and they saw an opportunity to force out a geriatric owner to make it happen sooner than they had anticipated. Not to defend JR's actions, but I mean damn, Dan Snyder still hasn't been forced out yet

This is the hard truth that plenty of us have been preaching for quite some time now. Tepper is running this thing into the ground so fast here in Carolina he'd probably welcome being part of that international expansion effort just to GTFO of dodge.

We actually looked like a competent offense on the two minute drive.

Yeah, TE is probably our weakest position group and McAdoo loves TEs. He was always a baffling hire for our roster. But a good TE isn't going to turn us into the Chiefs. Don't kid yourself. Maybe we'd go from abysmal to just run of the mill bad.

Is that Tommy Chong? Nice.
