See, I have been holding my tongue lately, but stuff like that decision by Teddy to keep that and try to be a hero pisses me off.  He has not been clutch at all.  He's blown multiple games on the last drive and then decisions like that...  I just don't know wtf he is thinking???

I don't even understand why you'd call that play with Teddy as QB.  He's athletic enough to escape some situations, but he isn't someone that is going to be rushing the ball... Weird.

The worst of Joe Brady comes on those type downs.  

Really weird trend.  

If it happens once, we can let it slide. If it happens twice, then you start to wonder. If it happens more than 3 times, then it's who you are and becomes a trend like you said.

Seriously, we are getting too cute against a bad defense---make them stop you.  Don't stop yourself.

Where is Daley?   Reed sucks very badly and quite often.

I want him cut.  Put Larsen at LG--do something--this is the second week he has been terrible.

He's lucky he didn't break his fingers, hand or arm on that when his fingers got stuck in that dudes face mask.

He wouldn't have had to do any of that if he would've handed it to Davis as the read showed him he should have.  I dont know what he was thinking.

As I remember Larsen was average at C. Not a big drop off...unless talking salary.

And as I remember he’s god awful anywhere else on the oline.

Backups are backups for a reason. I'm generally not in favor of benching a starter just because...

But it's hard to deny that Paradis is just not good.

    • We don't need to know what % was his fault last year because it was all bad enough to know to not sign up for more of it. Look at the stuff he was directly responsible for being the point man on, the pro-personnel, and the stuff he was involved in should tell you enough. If you have to discount it to make it look better than you already knew the answer. It's just making excuses for all of those people. Hoping something changes while discounting the work they already done here has proven to be a losing strategy every time so far. Maximus Copius Bulshitetus i think is the Latin name for that phenonium. 
    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
