Being at this game was horrible. 

It was rainy and wet, and the game itself was abysmal. 

 

Made friends with a Panthers fan in the bathroom, though. Fitting enough. 

Lol it must have been a really slow night to be making friends with the enemy in the bathroom

I made the mistake of going during halftime. 

 

Quick tip, always get to the bathroom about a minute before the half. If you don’t, you’ll be stuck in line for half an hour.

Not sure if the enemy of my enemy is my friend but if they hate the aints as much as we do an alliance might be had.

I tried to tell people the O-line wasn't as bad as they thought. Mariota had no pocket awareness what-so-ever. it seems like he was running for his life every play, whereas Ridder calmly goes through his reads and even if he gets pressured, he's still calm and is able to move just enough to where his linemen don't have to start grabbing guys to protect him

I too braved the elements for that craptastic game. My daughters and l sat there in our ponchos, mad as all outdoors

And yet the man started three more games 😂😂😂

He was  "not ready", that is the excuse that was thrown around here. Like all the sudden the next 3 weeks running the 2nd team with NO FIRST TEAM SNAPS, got him ready for the Saints start.

How about the HC, who watches these guys day in and day out, still decided that Mariota was the best choice to win games while somehow being in contention for a playoff position.

This has been spun to fit so many different narratives, yet most likely the flat out truth of the situation ignored. Either in AS eyes Mariota was still the superior player or he is a terrible evaluator of talent at the QB position. The latter makes no sense because of his track record with guys like Tannehill.

So what is it?

Third option — this is dumb. 

They were prepping Ridder all season. They had a plan. It likely included using the bye to make the transition. Literally everyone knows this. Pretending it’s preposterous is a bad look.
