Given all the guys who were out due to injury and international play, it really let some other players get meaningful minutes.  In his interview, Fuchs said in his speech to the players that this was there opportunity to show what they can do.  Obviously several stepped up.

Gaines really only seems to have the one move and at this point, teams have figured it out. He’s gonna dance and try and juke the defender before going to the end line for a cross. It’s so predictable at this point.

Khalina does so great at stopping shots but turns into a tater when the ball is at his feet and the other team presses him. He really needs to work on quicker and better decisions.

I like Bender but he needs more time and training to reign in control of his body. He’s constantly losing balance, inconsistent first touches, but he’ll be a force the longer he plays

Back line seemed to have solidified a little. It’ll be interesting to see if the attack gets any better with Swiderski back

Would really like to see Jozwiak or Vargas get more time out on the wing. Gaines seems like a player who would dominate the USL but just provide solid depth in the MLS. Speed alone isn’t going to get it done.

Also agree on Kahlina, those types of mistakes can’t happen.

That was Bender’s worst game, he got bodied quite a bit.

I also agree about the defense. Walkes has been great back there beside Corujo. I do wish Fuchs had more speed because I’d love to have him at LB, I just think he’s too slow.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
