DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

This is a prime example of what I fear the most. The players are more into the allure of themselves and their fellow all pros rather than actually playing like all pros. "The player I'm supposed to be." Get out of here with that Nick. Just go out there and dominate and don't worry about numbers or perception.

It's like if a company stock starts at $20 and then 5 years later it's worth $500. Then it starts to dip back towards $300 and you start wondering why that's happening and get confused. That's where we are at. The talent is still there to be a $500 stock, but we gotta start grinding again and playing like it. We have no fire right now because the media, fans, and probably the players themselves were crowned too early.

Spoken like fans that look at a stat sheet only. You need to watch some film to see what's really happening. I stick by my original statement.

This might be the deepest issue with this team right now. It's like they were crowned Super Bowl champions after beating Dallas and forgot there were still 4 months of season left (with every team having us circled on the calendar, to boot). Fortunately it's only October but you need to play well for more than one month to win a Super Bowl… anybody who has followed this team for more than this season should know that by heart at this point.

Just wonder if Bosa is playing a tad too light this year? He doesn't seem to be making as many power moves as last year? Thoughts?

It seems that he is only trying to bull-rush everyone forgetting all his signature moves that made him the best edge-rusher of the league.

Also he is lacking energy just like the rest of the defense.

I agree. I'm not seeing any real moves. He tries to go through guys nearly every play. He's not even getting double teamed as much as he did last year. I guess opposing teams have noticed his regression in film.

Lol

Maybe all of that money he's carrying around in his pockets is slowing him down. As I said at the time, I don't think sports figures are generally worth the amount of money they get paid, but Bosa seems like a player who is committed to the game and I would have expected him to continue to shine. Not saying he's slacking off or taking the easy path now that he's got his bag, but when you get paid that much money, you'd better earn it every time out in a 17 game season.

He's literally playing worse than Solomon Thomas did at end. Why should he keep starting? He needs to get sent a message, because the team is stuck with him.

He's not just playing poorly. He's LOAFING. It's unacceptable.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

Might be a bigger draft bust than Solomon Thomas. At least Thomas didn't destroy our entire cap space.

Wow, great argument.

Does Bosa let you come up for air? Tell him that he should spend more time working on actually getting to the QB, since he's now the highest paid NFL defender in history.

Those remarks don't deserve a response bro. He's letting you know he disagrees and how silly they are at the same time, while not dignifying a dumb ass post with a response.

He is saying he failed in opportunities where a player of his caliber(and salary) needs to make the play.

But he has not watched film to speak on other players, which he will never publicly speak on because he is a good teammate.

Translation: You're as clueless as he is and have no actual argument to defend Bosa.

Bosa is not only playing horrible, but he's not even putting in effort. It's obvious to anybody who is actually paying attention.

What do you do when a player mails it in? You punish the player and force him to earn his playing time.

Kyle has done this with many players so far, and he needs to do it with Bosa. Randy Gregory signed a couple weeks ago and has somehow already outplayed Bosa, the highest paid defender in NFL history.

He is trolling , no one is this off

There are no moves to do, i watched a few plays. the 1st scoring drive it appears they chipped him the whole time with hockenson, allowing the OT to gain his depth. Now Bosa only has bull rush or inside move. On one they chipped him and ran a sweep. On another they dumped it to TJ right after the chip.

Off of my very narrow views, the front 7 play has severely regressed this year. But the talent is making plays despite that.
