Can’t disagree there, it is surprising to me as a casual fan how the pass rush feels like the Fox/Rivera years when the D-line was lacking. Their game plan didn’t change and you just watched the QB have all day against 4.

Without investing in the defensive line the results are going to be the same every week. I don’t think you can coach around that. I don’t blame that on Evero. I won’t be surprised if he leaves or he’s fired as a scapegoat but I can’t really judge the defense or coaching when the front 7 is this weak.

I’m happy that he is no longer is playing historically bad. I’m also happy that the team is looking better. He’s thrown a good number of perfect balls that guys have dropped. I don’t think Bryce is the answer at QB. I think his ceiling is under an acceptable level of play for a franchise QB. I’m happy to be wrong as long as it benefits the team. I’d much rather trade him than pay a starting QB salary to him.

I don’t know of any coach that would look great with this front 7. Until you bring in talent they will continue to be a non issue.

I’m not sold on Bryce but this bad game was much better than his first two games this season or last year. He has shown growth. Hopefully he can finish out strong. I wanted off the Bryce train but he’s been playing well enough that I think he’ll be here next year. Is what it is.

Roll the dice with a 2nd round pick and this is what you get. Devastating injury. It’s a bust until proven otherwise.

I’m excited to see the defense improve year over year for sure. I understand if Evero leaves but I hope his replacement doesn’t require them to start over from scratch.

That’s such a positive for next year too. Fox/Rivera teams felt like they underachieved but this team really feels like they are doing all they can to stay in games. I’m excited to see them keep building the team according to Canales’s vision

I’m not optimistic but I don’t want to find reasons to be pessimistic either. He’s playing well enough to win games which is a start. I won’t really trust that he can win a superbowl until after he’s hoisting a Lombardi.

I’m also curious because I still can’t really believe in him yet. I don’t know how he’s suddenly able to rip it over the middle and how he isn’t making the same terrible throws. I’m not confident at all him, but if he keeps playing like this he’s probably good enough to lead the team next year. You can focus on fixing the run defense and maybe that will finally settle the Bryce debate.

He’s got work to do but you grossly underestimate his funny accent, that’s worth another 2 years at least.

I listened to the game on the radio and met friend at a sports bar for wings to finish it out. That was a lot more fun than Bryce looking like total poo. Not sure what the future holds but the team is competitive at least. The expectations are still low so the losses don’t sting so bad.

I guess I’m just worried he won’t be better or consistent. I just don’t see him beating good teams in the playoffs. These last 3 games have been solid but I simply can’t get his awful start out of my mind. It would be miraculous if he turned it around. At the current level he’s playing I think it’s fine for him to stay with the team but I definitely want legit competition brought in for his entire tenure here.

I appreciate it! it’s great to see the ball hitting receivers in the hands at least. They definitely let him down against KC. Even if we are getting blown out as long as he can get the ball to the playmakers that’s good enough for me(at least for this season).

I can’t find any room for optimism with Bryce. I’m not even in a “would love to be wrong” state of mind. I just want to move on. No matter how good he looks the rest of the season I can’t see him ever taking this team to the promised land. I can’t really even expect him to play better next season once the expectations are on again.

I’m glad for any reason to be glad. He played so bad early I’ll never believe in him. Just hope it helps the team get better but that they find someone that doesn’t have physical limitations they need to overcome.

I agree but he might have been a nice transitional coach. He definitely seemed to be in the Fox/Rivera mold but those defensive players coaches have a nice appeal.

To be fair Filet mignon-ade prob doesn’t taste very good

Hopkins is a real warrior. He schooled the DB coach on tv that one time and got the best of our number 1 corner who has his own NFL bloodlines. refs could have let things go though

I’m not sure that his ceiling is high enough but if he can get the ball to playmakers that’s a huge improvement. I’m never going to be in his camp because I don’t think he can run the entire playbook and I have zero confidence he could win a Super Bowl.

It’s good observation on the effort front. Random comment but I love how JT Sanders seems to turn up field right when players are expecting him to get out of bounds, although I kind of worry about him getting blown up.

No fumbles, no injuries and maybe a play that gives him a boost of confidence

I think these kinds of questions understate how bad he has looked and how limited he is physically. If he looked amazing I would still want the team to look for a starting QB. I still don’t expect the team to make playoffs next year so I don’t care who the QB is but you cannot consider him to be in any future plans. I think cutting him is the least distracting move and best for everyone.

I expect a rookie RB to usually take it sideways and “dance” in the backfield longer than you would want. Brooks seems like he has good vision though and the o-line should give him clear holes to aim for. Chiefs game might be a rough debut but I hope he’s able to get some touches.

lol the weather man? I think he had some substance abuse issues going on but might be doing better.
