Trevor Lawrence is a complete moron. Niners are out of timeouts and he runs out of bounds to give them life.

Purdy's turnover fest has probably sunk the Niners today. They're still gonna be 3-1 but I think they're more pretender than contender.

The Ravens look cooked. Lost that heart breaker in Buffalo week one where they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, lost another winnable game against the Lions, and now they're getting blasted by the Chiefs in KC and both Lamar and Henry have gotten hurt which is honestly even more concerning than the soon to be 1-3 record considering their 3 losses. They had a brutal starting slate and it's gone as poorly as possible for them. They've got a huge hole to dig themselves out of and major question marks about their two best players.

Honestly, the NFL does a stellar job of socializing the wealth with their revenue sharing agreement. Creating a winner is more about bragging rights than anything else. You're going to make plenty of money and your investment is going to grow every year even if you're the doormat of the league. And when you need to invest in infrastructure? Hold your host city hostage and make them pay for it! What a sweet deal!

The Superman celebration was paying tribute to his idol, he wasn't in anyway trying to mock Cam or the Panthers. He grew up a Panthers fan and Cam was his favorite player.

This is the key. Regardless of who is out there at WR teams just don't respect Bryce's ability to stretch their D vertically. I mean, we ran a TE screen from midfield on a hail Mary opportunity because we knew he probably couldn't get the ball to the endzone and we ran numerous handoffs on 3rd and 10-15 because honestly Chuba possibly breaking a run is a better chance than Bryce completing a 10+ yard pass.

You'd think otherwise if you were trying to keep your job. Now maybe Canales has assurance he's safe. I'd find that hard to believe but maybe. I don't know how he'll avoid losing the locker room though if he keeps trotting out this guy who completely hamstrings our offense.

Bryce could probably be serviceable with an entire slate of All-Pros around him and an offensive mind like Andy Reid running the show but you don't draft QBs #1 overall who have to be carried and you certainly don't trade a king's ransom for them because when you do that you're counting on that guy helping to carry you through some of the roster holes that move is inevitably going to create. That's what nine of these people acknowledge. Yeah, our roster isn't great but a big part of that is all the roster capital we had to give up to trade up to draft this guy.

I just miss having hope. Under Richardson we always longed for consistency and lamented how we could never put together winning seasons but we were good often enough to keep things interesting and give reason for hope. With Tepper the only entertainment is seeing what new ways we can fug up a football organization. It truly feels hopeless.

I honestly think it was bigger than just Penix. I think that whole team and staff came into that game thinking they couldn't lose and they could use it as an opportunity to work on some different things and basically just do whatever they wanted and still win. Yeah, we suck but you can't ever get too cocky in the NFL and I think they came into that game really cocky.

It's just unbelievable to me that there are fans who are still willingly deluding themselves like this.

Probably accurate. They probably need Tepper's permission for anything when it comes to Bryce.

Yeah, the Bryce experiment has to end. We should've upgraded the backup QB spot but at this point it is what it is. Let Dalton start and then you have a few games to figure out if you need to try to do something at the trade deadline. The Bryce question is answered. Now we need to answer the Canales question.

I was okay with him but once he looked absolutely washed in preseason we should've tried to swing a move. We should've made the trade for Howell that the Eagles did.

The Falcons are about to beat the Commanders. Last week was a complete fluke where they came in cocky thinking they could just won by showing up and could work on some different things instead of just being locked in on winning the game.

Yeah, with the Bryce question feeling answered now we have to give Canales a fighting chance to show something.

Good. The main I wanted out of this season was the Bryce question definitively answered. I would've much preferred he prove me wrong but absolutely faceplanting is far preferable than still leaving us in some gray area of questioning.

Jameis seems awesome. He seems dumb as a rock but also a legitimately decent guy who's fun.

I don't think Canales survives if we're limited to Bryce and the ghost of Dalton. We should try to find a bandaid to give him a chance to show something because I don't think anyone with other options is coming to work for Tepper at this point and that's why Canales and Morgan are here to begin with.

I have. Bench Bryce and trade for someone like Jameis or Howell. Someone who had proven they can put up numbers but should be relatively cheap. See if Canales can show something with a QB who has NFL tools but has struggled with turnovers.

You're constantly bitching about people who are bitching about the Panthers sucking so what are you talking about? LOL

We're the losingest team in the league since Teller bought the team. It is what it is. If you want to try to convince yourself that the dog poo smells like roses then enjoy it. I'm not gonna delude myself.

He took the job knowing the QB situation and he took it because we were the only team even considering him for a HC. When we move on from Bryce at the end of this season we probably make a change at HC too. His only hope is to bench Bryce and have the offense show promise with Dalton. I bet he's really regretting not pushing hard for an upgrade at backup QB this off-season. Probably time to go beg Morgan and Tepper to let him trade for Jameis or Howell.

Stop. We ran that play because our little QB couldn't get the ball to the endzone from midfield.

It was an absolute fluke. The Falcons just completely looked past us and Penix had the worst game of his life. Fast forward a week and we're back to being us and they're back to looking like a team potentially in the rise.
