Per Press Conference with Bo: As of today, Tommy is starting

The King said:
Uh, I'm not sure how this is Bo's fault.

Taylor "apparently" told Bo he was good to go. Taylor lied in numerous conversations with Bo stating that he was healthy enough to play.

That said, at a certain point it was pretty obvious Bo should've pulled Taylor.

Furthermore, they are FINALLY moving Santos away from Mike. THANK YOU LORD. ABOUT f'ing TIME.

Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if every LB lost their spot at this point. The depth chart needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Their are some horrible inconsistencies. I hope Love/Newby are ready to go next year.

Give me Rose/Bando/(hopefully Love or Newby). I'm tired of these kids playing soft. GET VIOLENT.

Next - Randle, Josh Mitchell need to take a seat. And where was Leroy Alexander? Still waiting for Charles Jackson...

You can't blame Bo because Taylor lied about his health? Taylor had a hip pointer, injured shoulder and two broken toes. Bo/Taylor called it "turf toe". This staff hasn't been upfront about anything regarding team injuries, especially when it comes to Taylor. We have a top medical staff, and Taylor's word is only a tiny piece of what goes into deciding if a player is healthy enough to play.

I'm over this staff. Retain Brown and Fisher and lefts find some guys that know how to teach. They get to practice all week to hammer out these silly fundamentals, and our coaches repeatedly drop the ball in teaching these kids how to play basic football.

Stating that 99% of our fans are amazing......very loyal and passionate.

Talked about twitter and players talking to the crappy fans.

Stated that two fans stood by the bus and welcomed the team after the game. Very encouraging. Told his son that those fans are the 99% of what NEB fans are made of......

Sounds like he is just starting to kiss some a$$.

I wish some of you guys would go watch the tape and tell me what quarterback we have on the roster would've done any better with that same play calling and sh#t a$$ line play. Not one. Hell, if it weren't for Martinez's long run we probably wouldn't have scored again.

The offensive gameplay and calls would have been completely different. Minnesota knew Martinez was hampered and wouldnt be able to take off liek he really can. There was no need to shadow Martinez or worry about his running. They sat back, played coverage and let thier front 4 guys go after Martinez. Martinez couldn't beat the coverage. RKII could have, and TA would have used his legs to make more plays. I couldnt count on my hands the number fo times Martinez could have ran and picked up 5 or 6 yards at least on broke passing plays.

To say Martinez didnt hamper this offense in the least is ignorant as crap.

And that's Martinez's fault how? This is what I'm saying. The problems resides over the quarterback position. Our playcalling should not change that drastically with a QB change. It shouldn't. Beck is setting Taylor up for failure. Taylor's best throws come on playaction, yet we don't run the ball to set that up. We have him sling it around, it's not going to work. And if you think that would've worked with TA I think you're the one that is mistaken.

TA is no more mobile than a hurt Taylor. He has decent elusiveness, good pocket presence, but lets not act like once he gets out of the pocket he is going to house one.

It's Martinez's fault purely becuase he said he was good enough to play therefore the coaches put him out there. TA is much more mobile than a hurt Martinez, he is much more elusive and can run out of the pocket and pick up 5 or 6 yards. Nobody ever said TA had the speed to take it to the house on any play like Martinez, but right now, Martinez doesnt have that speed either. There is absolutely NO REASON to put a hobbled Martinez out there on the field when we have capable backups. If you think a 65% Martinez is still the best option to start on this team currently then you better buckle up, it's going to be a very rough ride for the next 4 years.

Honestly, I could play QB and reap similar results with that play calling. I don't know who the best QB is. But until the O-line can hold a block for longer than .35 seconds and our offensive coordinator stops doing something that is averaging 8 yards a pop, it's not going to matter who plays qb.

Meh, that's all that he really has to do for that, I don't care what he thinks of the fanbase, just win football games.

I've already spoke out on this once, but Taylor has hid injuries from the staff before. Bo & Beck trusted Taylor to tell them if he was good to go or not. That's on Taylor for abusing the trust they put in him. Hey man, I knew Taylor wasn't going to be 100% at any point this year, and I've harped on it and harped on it without letting any information out. I know the staff lies about injuries, but as a player, you CANNOT lie to your HEAD f'ing COACH. Honestly, I think Bo may be starting to get fed up with Taylor based on the quote about "how he is done playing this game" with Taylor's injury.

And, literally my next sentence was - well, Bo should've noticed Taylor wasn't healthy and pulled him, immediately.

Agree with sh#t a$$ line play and horrendously bad playcalling, but either backup would've performed better. Martinez was not close to 100%. Even on the long run he was not that fast and his "cuts" were tough to watch. He couldn't get behind his throws and his form was back to horrendous. Under-threw several passes significantly because of either the foot or the shoulder. The Bell drop should've been an easy bullet pass touchdown, but he couldn't get much force behind it and lofted it. Also, any modest improvements in his ability to make progressions were out the window. Even on the rare occasion he had time to throw, he stared down one covered receiver almost every time.
