Just when I thought I was converting, Murray reminds me of why I was so skeptical. He gets a D in my books for today’s performance. The only reason he didn’t get an F is because his offensive line had a poor day as well (mediocre in pass protection, terrible in run blocking)

Missed passes (most notable an open McBride in the end zone)

Dropping back super deep to take sacks (not a single offensive line in the league can help you if you drop that far back)

And most of all- the game killing pick 6 which was the most boneheaded, needless, disaster mistake we have seen this season.

I hope he bounces back next week and the air in his head has deflated - no doubt he was the main reason we lost today (although no one on offense except McBride really played well today)

He’s gotta learn how to play effectively when he’s banged up.

That was a brutal game.

I won't sugar coat today's game and go along with the "D".

K1 has been great about protecting the ball this year, and it's kept us in close games.

But he cannot, under any circumstance, make that mistake in that situation. It was the biggest play of the game by a mile.

I think the SEA pass rush frustrated him into to trying to do too much, but he's got to be more poised.

Glad to see the argument is now about is K1 generational from him being a franchise QB.

Making small steps.
What argument? Nobody here has been arguing because the consensus has been that he's been good. Unless he improves drastically and starts winning SBs, he's not a generational anything. It's funny how you can't be satisfied with the board being happy with their QB.

Well, until today. Bad timing on this post.

Yeah, now I'm back to questioning his effort. In a situation where he has to accelerate, lower his shoulder, and take one for the team to try to get the first down, he instead panics, backs out of the hit, and costs his team the game.

Sack up, son. It is a freaking contact sport. Jesus, that was pathetic..

Oh please just say we need to get rid of him. No one will fault you guys.

We get it, the contract, instagram, and his size consume you.

Just be honest.

The Never Murray’s are so predictable
You want to talk predictable? This response. He had probably the worst play and worst pick six of his career, but yeah, I'm unreasonable. Oh yeah, you painted everyone with that brush, not just me lol

Dude sucked on the play. He got scared and panicked. Eat it, own it, and move on.

All pick sixes are terrible. The worst I’ve ever seen is Kurt in the Super Bowl.

I’m guessing by your response this is the first one you’ve seen.

Being legitimately serious here.

I could’ve sworn you said you disliked when he does that? Like I remember you telling him to chill when he did it against the Texans on a goalline play last year.

I almost welcome a loss like this it shows who people truly are.

The masks are totally off after a loss.

So predictable.

Reading comprehension fail. I said of HIS career. In English, that mean's in Kyler's career. Clear enough?

That's all they do.
Sad and predictable. Could've come into the thread with a "yep, he had a bad day at the office, let's move on to next week" post and the board would have been fine. Instead it's the classic "Don't you dare offend my baby Kyler" crap.

No masks are off. Some people passionately support the entire team, and some are passionately focused only on their super-duper most favorite player ever.
