TD alt

He almost lost us the damned game. At the very least, he put the game in a perilous situation when it didn't have to be. Instead of taking the game by the throat, he puts it back in the hands of Baker and the Bucs.

He took the pedal off the gas at exactly the wrong time during the drive. Why in the holy fvck would you call to weak-ass runs and not give an earnest attempt to move chains for first downs? I mean, you saw it didn't work one time, and then you call another one. That's just weak. The season is on the line, well-above the two minute warning, and he's calling plays like we're playing for a game-winning field goal. Weakness eptiomized! It's not fitting of a first-class head coach in the NFL.

I tried to tell all of you guys. Now do you believe me?

Two stupid run calls by Canales!

Two fuging useless runs

What the fug are all these short kicks about? It seems like we would've learned by now...

Another bullshit call

Somebody tell me: Why is that big of piece of the field open in the red zone?

I'm not trying to be overly critical, but he locked on 4, and didn't go through his progressions. That pass to the sidelines was going nowhere.

Good grief, people, what are y'all going on about? I don't care about how you can it up---inconsistent flashes of oases of survivability and hopefulness within a desert of death by a thousand cuts and constant agitated emotions, Bryce just isn't what we want in the final estimation. And, If anyone does want him, hats off to you (because it fell off from a confluence of me shaking my head and laughing hysterically).

It was halfway believable until that last sentence.

Such a terrible INT

"Eventually?" Man, we ain't getting any younger, and life shouldn't be taken for granted. All of these no-count seasons will not get us our wish before we expire. Bryce just seems like the biggest problem, and his exit is the biggest fix in the shortest amount of time (and, yes there are puns in there somewhere).

He hasn't been good. I honestly don't know if he's fit for being a head coach. In my opinion, he's too damned conservative when he should be aggressive, and at many times he is too aggressive when he should be taking points. Now I know Bryce is easy to blame for that, but I suspect that Dave is just not that creative. I'll withhold final judgment until after 2026 (assuming he is here).

Thanks. Don't know how I missed that.

Might want to try Thornton in the slot

That's what he gets trying to play GM, and that's what Duke Tobin and Mike Brown get for essentially letting their QB make personnel decisions. Cry me a River, Joe.

But that's just an opinion essentially based upon three games---basically nothing. As for "great" career, that's in the eye of the beholder. I'd say that if he becomes a starter or even a high end backup, that may not be great, but it would be good. If he ends up a long term starter, then that is pretty great. But I could argue that less than a dozen QBs have had "great" careers for the last 50 years. It's just a matter of definition. There are certainly a number of QBs drafted higher than Sanders and with much higher expectations that have ended up as backups or out of the league altogether. If he has any kind of staying power, he's already overachieved according to many.

It's a matter of perspective. Hell, TB12 was skipped over 198 times for example. I mean, Montana, Wilson, Dak and a few others were skipped many times before they were drafted. Warner and Romo went undrafted for Pete's sake. Don't get me started on misses (and not just QBs). His attitude didn't help, but it was reported just as much that scouts/execs didn't necessarily believe he was a day one or two guy. Like I suggested, we'll never know the whole story. Moreover, you can't get around the fact that he's handled his situation in Cleveland with flying colors. That's been widely reported as well.

But he was drafted...just not where he wanted to be drafted. No one really can say with ironclad clarity as to why. It was probably a combination of things (including their belief in his capabilities), but it wasn't because he told the Ravens not to draft him, as he did that on day three of the draft (and was drafted three spots later).

My bad, I was referring to the Falcons game

I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out. If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.

Just shooting the sh¡t. At the end of the day, the Browns aren't going to let Shedeur go anywhere if he keeps showing like he did Sunday, much less improving upon it. On an off note, speaking of improvement, I hope Bryce doesn't sh¡t the bed like he's been prone to do while we're actually still fighting for something. This is the time for him to keep improving.

Oh it absolutely makes a difference to have your people talk to the GM in private than to make public proclamations. I really don't understand how anyone could say different, but I guess it's an opinion. I can't say what view the league had. I believe it was more about pre-draft stuff than anything that happened on day three. Of course the Browns drafted him 3 picks later, so at this point it doesn't really matter, as he's in the league. Deion Sanders has taken a step back. He's always going to be in the picture to some extent because of who he is. As a father, it's OK to guide your son in private, and it's also OK to praise him publicly.
