Here’s reality. When we run the ball for 150 yards or more we have a good chance to win.
When our run game is stifled Kyler can’t strap the team on his back and lead us to victory.

Nah that dude was laughing in the sideline. He wasn’t a leader, but he wasn’t sour puss that kyler can be.

if kyler ran the ball we'd be hitting our 150

Vegas seems to think Kyler is hurting also. His rushing U/O was 24.5.

The whole Kyler hurting is such BS and the excuses for it by some on here with the speculation… He’s not even listed on the injury report so whatever it is, he needs to get the hell over it… I know it’s Ludicrous to compare him to Mahomes… but when you watch him legit go out and get a high ankle sprain last week and yet he’s still out there pushing his team to the lead in the fourth quarter this week against a really good team it’s kinda hard to have sympathy for Kyler with a few bumps and bruises. Especially when They aren’t even severe enough to be listed on the injury report week to week.

Fair but I was going to add Kyler rushing yards to me SGP and a number that low scared me off

To be fair kyler hasn’t complained about about anything and he is playing. If some speculate about it, it just might be to understand why he isn’t cutting it loose. A slightly tweaked knee or hammy or oblique would t an excuse for his play, but it would be legitimate reason why we haven’t seen his speed. And there’s a difference between a reason and an excuse.

Scud saved his sour puss for the post game press conference but it was the same type of leadership

If he’s not even on the injury report week to week, it’s an excuse… we see other players around the league go out with minor knee injuries, minor hamstrings, etc. and then go out and dominate when they suit up each week been seeing it all year…. Limited in the beginning of the week on the injury report is questionable but gos out and play on Sundays and have great games. Jmo there is no excuse as far as I’m concerned.

I’m starting to believe you don’t understand the difference between a reason and an excuse. If he’s physically hindered he literally cannot physically run as fast as normal. That’s not an excuse, it’s literally a reason. No one is saying it’s a reason he’s underperforming. That would be an excuse. They’re saying he doesn’t seem to be running at full speed. A nagging physical ailment that doesn’t rise to the level of full blown reportable injury could limit his speed. Hence the possibility that it’s a reason.

Meh… if you have something ailing you that limits your full ability to function like normal you should be on the injury report.

 

[daves]

Unfortunately, Murray has a history of being impacted more by injuries than most players. E.g. missing 3+ weeks for a low ankle sprain. Maybe he has a low pain threshold.

Kyler hasn’t complained about anything.

You are getting mad at a speculation.

C’mon now

NFL teams don’t always think that way.

I’m not referring to Kyler. I’m referring to other posters saying that he must be hurt and making excuses for him not running anymore. I can see how you think I’m typing it that way, but my rant is about all the speculation from other posters on this board saying it has to be an injury..

 

[oaken1]

He got his fortune told by a streetside palm reader at a music festival in Aspen during the bye week...she told him he would suffer a career changing event on Sunday... it just never crossed his mind that the event might be actually earning a playoff spot.
So he is sketchy out there, anticipating the event.

Well that but more so - I don’t believe we have an NFL game plan when the run doesn’t work. Petz does not have a passing game

No doubt.

This is the funniest thing so far in the thread.

A bunch of conjecture has turned into K1 and the team are hiding injuries.

 

[Russ Smith]

If we're worrying about Kyler in cold weather doesn't the same apply to Bryce Young? I know he plays in Carolina but he's not exactly a cold weather guy either

Not an excuse. A question. Because there's a marked difference in pre bye vs post bye running confidence. Knee injuries stay in your head, and IMO, he was triggered mentally.
