I think everyone appears off when bad receivers with little experience in the system aren’t where they are supposed to be consistently.
Not a pass for Mariota, but it sure is hard to determine what is rust, regression, etc. when this is the case.
I understand the optics and the reality of moving on from Quinn. It’s simply not happening.
That said, I do feel like I’ve seen enough this season to not feel very confident he’s going to be the guy that leads us to a Super Bowl. As impressing as last season was, this one has been just the...
To add to this, because of their friendship - it was likely harder for Quinn to interject. He probably should have been sticking his nose in there more.
If AP makes the decision to move on from Quinn, I wouldn’t be upset about it. I don’t think there’s any way that’s happening though, even if they lose out.
Yeah, even as someone who isn’t sold on Quinn long term, I don’t think he’s a fragile dude that needs to play politics.
I don’t think he hires an OC in Kliff, and other assistants with head coach/coordinator experience, if he’s a guy worried about bench strength taking him out.
I think he...
When all the drama was going down, I said in the game thread, players were looking to get ejected to no longer be subjected to the ass-kicking. Only half joking.
Everyone is piling on Payne and deservedly so, but I dunno - that’s the most fight our defense has shown in over a month. I realize you should beat the opposition with your play, but getting bullied around the field like they have, takes its toll. Add St. Brown and his antics into the mix and...
There’s truth in here for sure.
But for me, it’s a competition thing. I’d feel the same way about my pop warner team. Unless it’s a kid who has historically struggled, tried hard and finally got his moment…I expect to see you hand the ball to the ref and move on, in that situation.
Maybe if...
In a sense, I get it.
But in this case, if anyone deserved to celebrate it was Kliff because of the play design. Even then, the competitive part of the game is over. Nobody should be fulfilled in any way.
Folks are really buying Pickens?
Don’t get me wrong, he looks great sonning the likes of Lattimore. He has all the physical tools. But there is no way on earth, I’d write a big check to a guy with his mental makeup.
Something I forgot about, which is easy to do, when there are so many things to hate in a single game.
Sinnott celebrating down 19.
Dan’s got Payne out here swinging on folks, and offense celebrating cutting a 25 point lead late in the fourth.
I know nobody wants to crush the guy everyone likes, but my god - the media should start every question with the statement about how long it’s been since a team got smashed 4 times in a row like this one.
It’s one thing to lose, it’s entirely another to not even compete. The big fix was that...
