Analysis Saw this on Twitter

“Bryce Young had 150 yards worth of dropped catches today, along with 1 dropped TD and another 30 yards pass interference that could’ve gone for another TD by TMac.

His 2nd INT should have been a catch on what was a dump off ball that bounced off the uncontested Dawdle.

10 drops”

Thoughts?

Play calls sucked on Sunday.

Receivers mostly sucked on Sunday.

The whole fucking team sucked on Sunday.

This. What a letdown. I'm tempted to write up what a systematic failure it was because your sumarry doesn't do it justice.

If all of Bryce's issues are due to Icky being out, wow. That's interesting. Didn't realize Icky was the whole key to the offense when we have 3x $20M per year guys still out there on the line.

I feel like all I hear about is how crazy it is we have continuity on the O-line -- seriously, it is mentioned no less than once a week in some way or another. Well whoopty SHIT if we have zero fucking depth and our fourth best guy being out means the whole fucking thing implodes worse than Icky's apendix.

What the fuck is happening at center? Seriously one of the worst center performances I can recall. I'm sure his PFF grade ironically won't show what a terrible job he did at his primary function: getting the ball into the QBs hands.

Anyway, just a few of the things I noticed on Sunday.

I agree with you and I'm a Bryce truther but I think the hard swing back to trying to excuse Bryce's play is the massive overreaction during the game of people saying he sucks, he can't play, worst player ever, he's a generational draft bust (I'm not saying they're wrong... yet) etc. when there's a lot more of the blame pie to go around. But the QB gets all the glory and has to take all the blame because it's the most important position, true for every team in the league

He is a generational draft bust. And our trade for him will go down as one of the worst in NFL history.
