On to other nonsense , i just heard that when Flus told Stevenson he was'nt  starting, he left practice. I guess that would have been yesterday? 

Anybody else here that? 

whoa - do you have a link for that?!

That is a huge problem if it's true.

EDIT -

OK here yeah it's everywhere - that is a HUGE problem. He is acting like a child. Apparently happened on Wednesday.

I guess having a tough season is good int he long run - you find out who your warriors are (and arent cough Davis) including coaches. We will be a stronger team as we remove the losers.

And we get to see where the team's head and pride is at, how strong they come out. If they come out flat again now, that is really on Eberflus and Poles needs to take note of all of it, players included.

OK so this provides some perspective. He didnt "leave practice" as in left for the day, he just went to the locker room to collect himself and then returned.

I like players that care. If he got emotional and needed a minute I am all for it.

Unfortunately it will become a narrative that he left, and that puts more pressure on Eberflus, looking in the media narrative like he has lost the team.  In this case, unfairly.

As much a Ben Johnson intrigues me, I am skeptical about staying on the same cycle we've been on. I don't know why they didn't just go all in on Harbaugh, but my inclination is he was out of our price range and too strong of an ego. 

We already passed on Andy Reid and Bruce Arians.  Why not pass on Harbaugh?  🤬 You never ever pass up a top five coach.  They don't grow on trees...

Yes never heard the rest of the story, WED and came back on the field. The bigger news is Sweat not playing, Brisker and Gordon out. 

The key to the game is CW actually having a complete game. If he plays like last week, late game hero wont always work. All that has been said  this week it comes back to CW having a good game.

Andy Reid was passed up? Never heard that story before.

Can I say if we win today we will have a 71% of being a wildcard. I think it was a ESPN guy said that. Not sure he looked at last 7 games. 

Wtf

Welp, that was a great 1st half. 

This team is dead. Flus lost the locker room, none of the offensive players trust Waldron. They will be lucky to win another game all season. I would not be surprised if ARZ puts up 40+.

We chose the great Marc Trestman, because Canada does it better...

Watching on the Redzone I agree. This could tank the season.

I don't want to hear about injuries. Pre-snap penalties, missed assignments, this team is horribly coached. They were not ready to stop the run on defense. The offense still looks like crap and it is Week 9.

Almost halfway through the season and what's our O identity? We have scored only ten points in the first quarter this season. And I put it on Flus and his staff. Poles, grow a pair and get us a coach that can actually coach.

Words of encouragement...from coach Flus:"I told the guys we at least have each other"

They should fire him over that. He has such a loser mentality, but at least they lost together.

That last 4 and 10, fire his a$$ now. No ride home.

4th and 11 and he goes for it? there were 15 min left in the game. They should just forfeit and not get anyone hurt if they are going to play mindless ball.

I was begging for them to punt.  It's still the third quarter and you are down 15.  Can we please fire this idiot now?

Flus gave them 3 points.  Stick a fork in this team and the development of CW could be lost.  Hell, Daniel's and Nix both look good regardless of the types of systems they are letting the play.

Again...

No point watching any more of this….

my blood pressure needs to go down.  Last week was one game.  This is a pattern.

They called a sky-high onside kick? Fair catch hey? Yes, coaches need to be held accountable for this mess.

The entire coaching staff is a bunch of clowns. Hightower is a terrible ST coach, getting outcoached in every phase of the game. 

Kmet with 0 targets today. Allen had 10, caught only 4. Williams had 41 attempts, not a single one went to Kmet. Make it make sense. 

Kmet has 1 target in the last two games, both losses.
