Except most of your post is not true. There have been about 200 posts blaming
the receivers. Nobody is putting all the blame on Taysom, but yes some are criticizing him and saying Tanner should get a shot. The fake punt was stupid, but nobody is saying it had a big impact on the game. That doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid call. Nobody has said that Jamaal's status had no impact on the game. There were tons of posts lamenting the loss of Jamaal during the game. I could go on and on.

Yes you can cherry pick individual posts that may support your criticism, but the overall vibe of the board and majority of the posts don't really jive with what you said. Yes people have been critical of the team and the coaches, but you're exaggerating the degree of criticism and creating straw man arguments. Somebody criticizing the passing game or wanting to see Tanner get a shot doesn't mean that they think Taysom is at fault for everything. For the record, I haven't called for Tanner to replace Taysom, but I can see why people want to give him a shot. There's a legitimate argument to be made when your passing efficiency is one of the worst in the country. My problem with that is that so much of the problem also lies with the receivers and o line. So I'm not sure Tanner would change things that much. But it's not like the pro Tanner crowd don't have any ground to stand on giving how bad the passing has been most of the season.

You are right that there have been a lot of negative posts. That's how sports message boards are after a painful loss. It's like that for any team.
