Everything that I have been hearing is that Bridgewater won't be playing.

Well we?re probably fucked either way. Our rocket scientist head coach has a terrible track record against quarterbacks that ?have no film?.

Remember Sam Darnold? That was one of his excuses. He didn?t have film on Darnold so he was ?really tough? to prepare for.

Also, Patricia said this after his 1st game as a head coach....

??We've got to coach this a lot better than what we did,?? he said. ??We've got to go out and execute a lot better on the field. It?s a team game, and it starts with me.??

Sound familiar?

Hand and Bryant are walking bandaids. What a waste of 2 roster spots.
