Pejorative Miscreant

I choose to be patient cause it makes sense to me. But I do find threads asking me to be patient offputting. Kinda know how my wife feels when I ask her to calm down.

Totally right about this.

Not a fan of Tepper but I will say that he wants to win and has proven that he is not hesitant to spend lots of money to do it. Problem (I know there's more than one) is, nothing he has done thus far actually works. So here we are.

Completely agree. No one on this site would dare do that.

I appreciate OP’s attempt to see the positive but I think Occam’s gonna need a machete for this one.

Who is this Sanders cat that can catch a ball? Is he new?

Very good point and You know, I am very confused by this. The simple explanation is everyone sucks. I have an inclination to believe this to be somewhat true. But these guys do this for a living and have had somewhat moderate success. Why is it that Miles in running the wrong route on a 4th and 2? Why does Ickey look like he has no idea what his blocking assignment is? These guys look like they are getting confused on some basic assignments. Like they are just seeing some of this stuff for the first time. Just wondering if it’s bigger than a talent problem at this point.

I felt and still feel like this is going to be more of an evolution than a revolution. I think you have the same foundation, which seemed to be very shaky but there may be some different sprinkles thrown in. Not ready to judge just yet but I think the one positive take away is there seemed to be more emphasis on pushing stuff downfield. It could be my imagination but I got that vibe. Time will tell.

Good thing you got up early...

Not bothered and I think its acceptable under the circumstances. Its a milestone win of sorts given the team was 0-6 prior to this and its the first win by your rookie franchise qb. If it is a week to week thing it would be a little unsettling but I don't have a problem with this occasion. That said, I'm not a player or coach.

I would settle for just average or close to it at this point.

Thought about this and I believe by that point the refs were so used to Bryce getting the shiit knocked out of him every play that they were simply immune to the action.

The sad part of the whole thing is that our recent draft history suggests that we would not have picked a player as talented as Chad Muma, rather a development player with upside. With coaching, perhaps one day said player could have transformed Chad Muma.

Given our drafting prowess, he’s much better than the 3rd rounder we would have used the pick on.

Very accurate. That said, given the season we’ve had, being able to mention a receiver not named AT in a positive light is something to hang your hat on. personally I’ll take it at this point.

It had to be one of the 15 or so plays where he was able to get up after being buried in the turf by a defensive lineman.

I'm an NC State guy and big fan of Ickey but there is no way to defend this as he currently looks like the second coming of Byron Bell right now.

Ugly win is still a win. Lets go!!!

You sir are an optimist and agree with you. A pessimist THINKS things cant get any worse. An optimist KNOWS that they will.

Now is the time to get comfortable. Folks been doin that in BOA all season.

Yep. I would like it if another deeper threat could get some separation on a more regular basis. I know there have been times they have been open but I don't know if there is enough consistency for the rookie to depend on them. Would just be nice to see if he could get it to someone else further downfield. I don't think BY has the greatest/strongest arm but I think he has enough. We need teams to at least know we are capable to go deep.

I think it will be evolution rather than revolution. Similar game plan I think but situational play calling may be somewhat different and hopefully a bit more emphasis on the running backs not named Miles Sanders. Keep giving the rock to Chuba and don't abandon run so quickly. This may help BY out a bit and help him flourish.

While this is an accurate statement I think we don't get credit because we replaced cheeks with beer poo dingleberries.

There are always exceptions.

Funny you should post this; I am faced with this very problem right now although I am almost certain the nut is fine. Will need to tinker when I get a minute. But that is a <$200.00 partscaster and not a billion-dollar franchise...
