HOISTING! (Bryce looks like our UPS guy.)

In a month, we hoist!

No real factors at ILB and only a second-round rookie providing pressure off the edge (4 sacks, but he held the edge and got a lot of pressures). I was disappointed in the DL most of the time, but I saw some bright spots. Derrick Brown is the best DT (DE) we have ever had. Jackson (NT) came on strong. Brown? Wharton? Where were they this year? Wharton was abysmal. Brown was not a lot better.

I was very disappointed in DC for not arguing the "ball went out of bounds" ruling. Secondly, over the past few weeks I have commented (probably too frequently) about how dumb this team is. Anyone in youth league knows that you run with the ball if there is a chance the pass is actually a lateral. Rico just stood there. Last week, there were the dumb mistakes like the facemask on third and 20 or so. We have hit sliding QBs to lose a game. We make stupid mistakes. Now the coach seems to say nothing. He calls a flea flicker when we are driving in the rain.

We have the highest paid OL in the league and they are average to above average most of the time; they should be elite all of the time. I really thought Hunt would play. I am so tired of Corbett watching the QB get pressured by the man he was supposed to block. XL is terrible. He seems surprised when the ball comes his way. I blame the traction on the person in charge of equipment. They have an hour or so before the game to test cleats/traction. I dunno. The Flea Flicker was a crazy idea in these horrible conditions. Let's have the RB get a handoff and then turn his back to the DTs and toss it back to a 5'8" QB in the rain to see if he can find an open receiver to trick em. We were moving the ball. Dumb.

I would caution folks about overkill. QB is a huge decision and they need a plan B. We need an edge. we need an ILB. We need a #2 WR. Otherwise, our guards (overpaid) are locked up for the next two or three years. We need Mays and competition at C. Tackle? We will be solid there next season.

This is how i feel. On defense, I would let Wonnum, Scott, and A Robinson walk. On offense: Corbett. We should go after (draft/free agency) a WR, ILB, Edge, and maybe a stud TE. Yes, we could use other players, but the biggest bang for the buck would be upgrades at these spots. And we need a developmental QB in the draft.

I think Rico will try to sign a contract here, but Chuba's deal would create a situation at RB concerning the cap. XL will be back because it makes no financial sense to cut him. For some reason, the like Corbett (Man of the year) and I am not sure how it works with voidable years--I think he would send $4m to the dead cap pool. Nick Scott should be gone. to me, it is important that we re-sign Mays. Coker is an ERFA but he has shown me enough to give him a long term deal and start him in the slot. Bryce will be back. He has had growth and there are QBs who took years to see the light. I am not confident in his physical abilities to ever be more that mediocre, but they will give him a fifth year to convince him. On defense, I do not see them bringing back A. Robinson, Wonnum, in addition to Scott.

That flea flicker cost us the game--again, stupid football. Last week? Horn's facemask. We are very creative and innovative when it comes to dumbassery

Welp. Third down blues again. Bryce has over 230 yards.

why do we not always play with urgency? We suck taking the clock down to 01 seconds

bryce still running the play clock down to 2 seconds or so down by 2 scores in the fourth.

We can't beat 17 of them

Run it again

We need a deep pass.

time for a checkdown to Chuba

Bryce needs to get accurate. He is not anticipating a WR getting open. he seems "Startled" when he sees an open WR then he rushes the throw because in the NFL, you need to see the WR open before he is open. Those low throws to Coker, the miss to TMac (pick),etc. just hard to watch This is not sound QB play--when the Running game stalls, it shows.

why do I not feel confident when they are in 3rd and long?

Still Dowdle has to run that--wait for the whistle later

And Canales should have been on the field livid about the call.

Why did Canales not rip that ref a new asshole?

dowdle should have run

When bryce steps up, good things usually happen

Damn Bryce just looks scared.
