Reddit really hampered other issue specific forums by putting everything under one roof. Smart on them but I hate their layout and that's why I've never become a user.

I worked for a boss like that once. He was actually a pretty good guy and not a bad boss but he didn't let anyone resign. If you put in your notice he'd terminate you. It was weird but whatever. Then he got mad when someone just up and quit with no notice and we were all like "Bro, you were gonna haul off and fire him on the spot anyway like you always do so why are you mad?" I honestly don't even think it has occured to him up until then. LOL

Personal attacks are one of the specific rules. We heavily rely on post reports for moderation. We aren't reading every post or even close to it. The vast majority of actions we take are based on posts reported by users. So don't complain about lack of action unless you're reporting the offending posts.

What is "undersized" about 270? Peppers was a freak of a prototype. A Cam Newton of DEs. If that's your benchmark for size and athleticism very few will measure up.

Gotta be able to do both but most defenses are predominantly even or odd front. Same with coverage schemes. We all talk about zone schemes versus man schemes but every NFL team does both, they're just predominantly one or the other.

Agreed. It's why I have no idea how to evaluate defenders on the draft. I have no idea what scheme we might be running. Do we need 4-3 DEs or 3-4 OLBs? Do we need single gap DTs or two gap DTs? Do we need man corners or zone corners? The bad thing about having such a depleted roster is that you suck. But the good thing is that you're very scheme versatile because you need so many new faces that you can go pretty much any direction. Brown is definitely scheme versatile. Horn would be better suited to a man cover dominant scheme. Those are the only two I would be concerned with on terms of scheme moving forward.

I bet the opposite. They're sitting at 8-8 and still sitting at #2 on the playoff bubble. They went 1-3 in the games Tua missed. Just one more win and they'd be tied with the Broncos at 9-7, not sure who would hold the tie breaker between them but just one more W would be huge for them right now. Not sure what we were wanting versus what they were offering but if they'd had a crystal ball and knew they'd be right at the threshold of qualifying for the playoffs going into the final week of the season I'm sure that would've changed their calculus.

There was a lot made of how much involvement Evero had in scouting and targeting our veteran defensive acquisitions this past off-season. Yeah, he was shopping on a budget but he largely bought trash.

I hate the NFL for forcing JR out prior to Snyder. I'm not defending JR I'm just saying that Snyder was a way bigger POS and should've been forced out before JR and that would've saved us from Tepper since the NFL made it very clear that Tepper had already been hand picked as the next one in the clubhouse. And honestly the Teppers would've almost certainly preferred DC over Charlotte anyway.

There's this really cool feature available where you can block individual posters and you won't see their posts if you find their content harmful to the fragility of your psyche. I mean, you can literally moderate the site for yourself! It's incredible! I encourage anyone who thinks there are trolls to utilize this wonderful feature for themselves and cultivate their own personalized version of the Huddle instead of just bitching and moaning for the mods to please save them from harmful differing opinions.

As it should be. Who wants some heavily moderated site that only approved talking points are allowed? We have a really short list of "rules" and other than that pretty much anything flies. Too many people view any view opposed to their own as "trolling". Like really? People are so fragile that encountering a differing opinion automatically means the person isn't serious? What a terribly warped and narcissistic worldview.

Accurate.

The Falcons never see the ball in OT. Ertz with a helluva TD snag for the W.

Falcons D is folding like a cheap suit in OT with the Commanders basically using Jayden Daniels like The Golden Calf of Bristol. LOL 3rd and goal from the 2 to see if they're even gonna see the ball in OT.

Really good receiver.

He's playing against the #2 pass D in the NFL. The Bucs are a bottom 5 pass defense.

Damn. Penix looks legit.

To clarify, I said he was my 1A and Stroud was my 1B and that it would ultimately come down to the interview process that were obviously not privy to.

The moral of the story is that the Jets and Browns are our best NFL comps. That's what David Tepper has turned us into. Perennial bottom dwellers.

I'm not gonna plant a flag and go around bragging about having a better ran organization than anyone considering we've lost more games than everyone since Tepper has bought the team and it looks like we may have let two franchise QBs slip through our fingers when we literally had them on the roster. That recent Jets story about Madden awareness ratings was pretty damn hilarious but let's be honest, substitute Johnson and the Jets for Tepper and the Panthers and would literally anyone have been the least but surprised? LOL That was the primary point of this thread. The Bryce stans get all defensive but it was a lot less about Bryce and a lot more about just the utter mismanagement of this organization under David Tepper. Bryce isn't the disease he's just yet another of the litany of symptoms.

Here's the Giants' version. God this is so cringe to watch on hindsight. LOL! https://www.facebook.com/MEMES.of.the.NFL/videos/1670508450193932/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

And right on time as I typed that last post this pop up on my feed...

Less dumping on him and more dumping on the organization in that we actually had two pretty good NFL QBs on the roster and gave up on them to turn around and go all in on drafting a guy who pretty clearly had subpar NFL talent expecting him to be able to carry a roster that was going to be seriously hampered by the trade capital we had to part with to acquire him.

He had two good drives. He looked like trash the rest of the game.
