But you know what? The halftime adjustments are going to tell the story, and in my opinion Dave hasn't shown to be stellar in that area either. An astuteness at play calling, halftime adjustments and situational play calling is how we win. We'll see what happens.

It's not creative, that's for sure. I've never seen anything from him, ever, that is indicative of anything but a C+ caller (if I'm being generous).

Bad play calling

Horn shoulda turned it into the hole

Shoulda let Chuba run it from the start.

All these quick-outs and screen passes ain't hitting on too much.

We have to make Sam revert to Sam

I agree to a point, and I've also said something similar. The thing is though, it's arguable that some other positions are a higher priority, and we just can't be in the business of passing up higher graded players at other positions to fill others, especially when we haven't even given current players the chance to pan out after only a season. I mean, at some point, if our guys show a higher consistency of flashes, you have to let them develop. I'm not averse to drafting an LB (EDGE or tackling machine) first, but they have to be definitely better than others at other positions.

Scourton and Umanmielen? Oh, surely you're talking about MLBs.

Most of us are probably on phones.

This will get better when we have a completely healthy O-line and a dynamic WR with good speed (possibly someone like a D.J. Moore).

Watt may have re-aggravated the injury, but Cam's arm was never right after trying to make a tackle off of his own interception (that Kelvin Benjamin basically caused by giving up on a play) more than a year+ prior against the Chargers.

The Packers are like my third favorite team. I don't know about Bears fans being insufferable. I used to be one when I lived in the Chicago metro area back in the day as a child. I don't see them as much different than any other fan base. Midwestern fans aren't generally A-holes from what I remember. Bears fans aren't Cowboys fans. The Bears last championship has been a very long while ago. It's the last time I actually bet money on a football game. My buddy walked to the ATM on campus during halftime and came back with my $20. Boy the destruction of the Pats began from pretty much the onset of the game. Since then, they've suffered like we have (just ~10 years longer).

As you can see, I pulled through. On to the championship! We'll see what happens next week, but I have a few handcuffs. Brian I'll have to look at the waiver wire for a QB possibly, but I have Jaxson Dart who I may play (don't think he'll crap the bed two weeks in a row). Love and Rice in the concussion protocol is not ideal, but I'ma try to make it work.

It's looking bleak for my fantasy quarterfinal too. Jordan Love...Josh Jacobs... Christian Watson...it was just all rotten eggs the other night... My only chance is if CMC and Jennings go off tonight.

FTW!

Solid player so far, if inconsistent, but he is a rookie. I would still consider an elite pass rusher in the draft with the first pick.

Yeah, but Ace-hole is trying to call people out for "hating," and actually rooting for Bryce to fail. Huddlers, unless they're just stupid, aren't actually rooting for Bryce, XL, Evero or anyone to actually fail, they're actually rooting for the opposite. That's what Joe is saying. You can criticize players, even to the point of wanting them "upgraded," without wishing that they fail. Love and hate, criticism and praise, are not necessarily a static propositions either. At the end of the day, Bryce has been clutch this season at times. He's played like sh¡t at times as well. I try to live in reality. I don't think Bryce is going anywhere based upon perceived improvement. If you gave me a button to eject him, I'd probably push it with little hesitation, as I don't believe that our offense should be limited by his physical inadequacies, but I'm not the one in charge. Knowing human nature and the FO, I can easily see them giving Bryce (Evero and even Legette) another season. With that being highly probable, I think we should target a young free agent with some upside that has shown incremental improvement (e.g., Trey Lance or Malik Willis), and I'd also target Drew Allar as a day three priority. This way, we can still push Bryce and have some back-up plans.

We didn't today. It's called "situational play calling." Canales seems a bit challenged at that.

To try and pretend that aggressively going FTW as opposed to running into the pile a couple of times and going for a long FG is a Madden type decision (pun intended) is ludicrous. Any coach worth his salt tries to extend the drive.

Is that supposed to be a newsflash, considering his snap count. He's already proven his metal here, so to act like he hasn't is simply silly. Simply just silly.

It's all good. Unless Rico is reasonable, he's going to be somewhere else after we win the Super Bowl anyway.
