We fucking wasted 4 games. We threw them, and the playoffs, fucking away!

Exactly, I'll never understand it. PR looked good in his ability to read the defenses but he was out there throwing wounded ducks. We all saw RL look good when he stepped in for DJ, I just don't understand not giving him a shot.

This team is just stupid, I think. The decision making has been downright dumb for a long time.

Every good TD is followed by ST failure.

It’s not even the playoffs in my mind. I’m not sure we would have made it even with Leonard starting.

It’s the fact that we could have had 4 game worth of info on Leonard to evaluate. So would everyone else. We would had a better idea if Leonard is for real or if teams can successfully game plan for him once they get tape on him.

My thoughts exactly. We may have lost all of those games, but it gives you more of a sample size to evaluate what we have. I am still in the boat you sign Jones to a friendly deal knowing we may have something with this kid. Odds are we are going to have to start him the first few games of the year.

Ok there’s a really bad throw.

Or a combination of bad route and bad throw. Either way that ball shouldn't have been thrown. Take the safe throw when its there. Not every toss has to be 40 yards down the field.

100% spot on.

What we are seeing is remarkably impressive, but it is just one game. How important it would be to have a 4-5 game file to review and process to assist in decisions for next year.

So shitty. Obviously RL is doing some great things as a result of SS's designs, but it is SS's failure to trust him to do these things which puts us in such a shitty position come 4:15 PM.
