It says we got over excited at a good victory against the Saints and took a game off after a short week against the Super Bowl Champions.

I'm not concerned. You'll see exactly how much our players "want to" against Atlanta.

I think it is bigger than that.

Again, numerous huddlers have said how lackluster Rivera's camps are and how he rarely rips players for mistakes.

Both Jordan Gross and Rivera laughed in their pressers, like this was just run of the mill, par for the course, completely expected, etc.

Just seems like there isn't a lot of "want to" or passion in general. Just another day at the office.

The thing that was insightful, and I think that explains why Rivera wasn't as pissed off as one would expect him to be, in his presser was how he said how this game was like a little brother getting slapped around by their big brother. I think we might have gone in with the expectation of losing against the Super Bowl champs and as such, didn't feel as bad about getting our asses handed to us afterwards.

Beason and Godfrey were whiffing against the Saints too....

D hasn't played well at all this year. Godfrey made a nice play in a vacuum. Look at what Beason and Godfrey did last week outside their INTs.....they both consistatly are playing weak.

Don't even know what Nakamura is on the field....he makes Godfrey look like a decent option

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
