Separate names with a comma.
JPJ, Fuatanu and Barton are all immediate day 1 starters and likely plus players. However, it's also possible we look to take a tackle and stash...
The hell do we care about what Titan fans are saying lol. That is a franchise going the wrong way fast.
That comment was a waste of time.
I mean, it WAS bad. As good as Hunt has been, he missed a lot of time this year. Everyone but Jackson missed a lot of time. One of the things I...
He's probably starting C unless we make a June push to readd Williams. But it lessens the urgency, and also gives us flexibility. Same with the...
Owenu going back to New England on a 3 year 57 million deal. This guard market is nuts. At this point I'm in favor of just pencilling in either...
Gink was also coming off a big injury, don't forget. That may have played a role, especially with the status of the others. We will bring in at...
I'm going to have to significantly disagree with you Holland and Sieler. I do think you are underplaying the talent the roster has, but that's my...
Sieler, Ramsey and Holland, with Chubb and Phillips when they return. Let's see who they bring in during free agency and the draft as well. How...
Like you understand free agency literally just started, and the draft isn't until April, right?
It's possible, but also overly morose and pessimistic, especially prior to the bulk of free agency and the draft. Buffalo also losing a chunk of...
We lost one core player, Wilkins. I guess you can count Phillips/Chubb but both will play this year. You extend Tua because he has had a lot of...
Sounds like AVG to Minny on a 2 for 20 deal. Kinda wish we ponied up for that, but I can understand if they had injury concern considering the...
Wilkins to Raiders, about 27mil per year over 4 years.
https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/03/chiefs-chris-jones-agree-to-extension Holy ish, basically a match of Aaron Donald's deal. Between that...
Hell no please and thank you.
Chances are good that a good tackle is good at either position, but it's still some risk when swapping them around and does create a touch of...
We ran into the business part of the league here. We weren't shortchanging him or demanding home town discounts, but Wilkins wanted top dollar,...
That they have increased the season to 17 games and are pushing hard for the 18th gives the lie to any safety argument.
I was responding to a comment about Durham Smythe, he is the one dimensional blocking TE. I'm optimistic on Smith. :up:
Dillon is hot garbage. Absolutely hard pass on him
To be blunt, he's a one dimensional player. He's really good at that dimension, but he's almost useless as a pass catcher. I like the move quite...
No, we had the 5th pick based on our record.
TBH I'm more worried about post-recovery than the speed at which he gets back on the field. Achilles injuries can take awhile of actual gameplay...
Nah, let that contract expire - he's not a guy you want to push more dead money forward for. Nobody is making that trade lol. Realistically we...
Good for them, let's see it get sustained. Flash in the pan teams come and go all the time. Or maybe they lucked into the right guys, who knows....
I think he means it will give other teams a leg up to retain guys they want to retain. AKA, less free agent supply. The Chiefs, for instance, were...
What about them? All I hear is that they are frontrunners to trade for Diggs and sign King Henry lol.
I think I'd rather just take the hit this year and then be able to move on next year. Unlike Chubb and Ramsey, he probably doesn't figure heavily...
Probably depends on Wilkins. If Wilkins is back, we won't have the money or snaps Davis wants. If we lose Wilkins, then it potentially opens up....
I think we need to retain AVG unless he's really just trying to make bank. To be blunt, I don't think we will get Phillips back in '24. He will...
I mean it's not Masterpiece Theater, go in knowing what it is and that it's intentionally corny and silly. It's not Bond, it's not John Wick. You...
This forum seems to be dying off a bit. :blink: Saw Argylle last night. A fun spy, comedy drama flick. A bit of poking fun at spy tropes and...
Wilkins is interesting. It seems he wants the money more than anything if reports from last offseason are true. Basically, he was offered...
Good positional coach that is overmatched as a coordinator. Imo it's probably a net neutral on most positional hires.
Franchising Tua is likely to be a significantly higher cap hit than an extension. We had some tough losses to end the season and did the classic...
Baltimore guys are on a major hot streak here, and iirc he has familiarity with McDaniel as well. I wouldn't complain - he's certainly not a known...
Again, draft players whom will actually play and help us. Second tier QBs have some of the lowest hit rates, assuming they even see a field. Hard...
That would be a horrendous pick. Get a player who will actually play, please. It would be great if B tier guys like him and McCarthy go ahead of...
Babich was promoted by Buffalo and Evero's interview was denied by Carolina so those two are out. I do find it interesting that we are looking at...
There is still so much to unfold that it's hard to make definitive statements ... but trading down is probably what I am looking to do. If you can...
I'd say the Bills are elite, the Chiefs are a dynasty, unmatched at this time. The Chiefs right now are the Patriots under Brady, just a step...
It's annoying, but they are the new Patriots. At least we don't play them twice a year. Mahomes is just that good, he will always give them a shot...
The biggest problem with Martindale (aside from him being fired twice in three years) is that he runs a much different system. That means we...
I get that Staley the head coach of the Chargers was bad, and that included his defense. But Staley the Defensive Coordinator lead a Super Bowl...
But yeah I don't get Crossman still being here. Our special teams feels more like a liability than an asset.
Man let's at least see who the replacement is. He left because his family is all around Philly, he just wasn't a great fit here. Really seemed...
I think bad coaching is a big part, at least until this year. Barry did some yeoman's work. However, our draft picks really underperformed under...
He's also missing that we lost our LG (Wynn) relatively early. And while Hunt was back for the BUffalo and KC games I don't think he was really ready.
I have 0 faith in Claypool, he was a bum in Pitt, he was a bum in Chicago and was a bum for us. Soft and unphysical, no attention to detail, bad...
I don't think we need to overhaul the entire system here, nor is that particularly likely. But we definitely need to add more wrinkles for late...
We weren't healthy though? X and Holland, the entire DE group, Baker, Elliot was limited. Offensively, guys played, but were clearly not even...
What was the Niners' record this year when Trent and Deebo were both out for 3 games? 0-3. Detroit had a period where they were missing 2-3 OL and...
I don't see us as having "little prospect for improving" at all. It's certainly possible that we don't, but not at all unreasonable to think we...
If we never see either the preseason or in season Hard Knocks again I will be happy.
I don't see any way Wilkins is leaving this year unless someone trades a bounty after we tag him, cause we would absolutely tag him. There is no...
McDaniel is the architect. If Smith is offered a head job we couldn't block it, but I doubt he gets hired this season. What do you mean "as you...
Nobody is taking Armstead, but he becomes cuttable after next year. The Washington kid could start at LG and then slide into LT when Armstead is...
This would be my thinking. Getting to the playoffs is fine, get some experience and all that. But in your third year with a good roster you need...
I wonder - assuming we stick with Fangio - if we even bother taking defenders in the draft. He has a well known rep for not liking rookies, like...
Flores' record came through defense. Offensively he had no plan or cohesion and his staff building was horrendous. There were apparently multiple...
I keep stressing it - McDaniel needs to take a long, hard look at the running attacks coming from LA and Green Bay - those are both coached from...
I don't care who Flores wanted, his offensive ineptitude and bad attitude likely would have sunk them too.
I mean this is always such an odd argument though. Would you have passed on Burrow because he played with talent at LSU? How much talent did...
Our holograms can watch us finally get that playoff win in the year of our Lord 2116. :chuckle:
If Tua doesn't improve and McDaniel doesn't improve, then you are correct. But neither of these are impossibilities. In the meantime, you add and...
Yep, they are in an interesting position. A lot of what people are saying about Tua was previously said about Dak - unable to match the moment,...
I mentioned above that I have a variety of rooting interests - one is the Lions since I moved to the greater Detroit area 6 years ago. My parents...
Just turned 41 and I emotionally divested awhile ago. Sports are cool, but too dumb to put so much into. I enjoy and have fun during winning...
Cousins is a 35 year old coming off an Achilles tear that is 1-4 in the playoffs. He's a good fantasy QB but I've not seen anything to suggest he...
In the position we are in, it is change for the sake of change. Cousins is change for the sake of change. Fields is change for the sake of change....
DeMeco Ryans is challenging that lol. I will say, if McDaniel wants to move on from Tua that would be a supportable decision. Otherwise, most of...
Recency bias is definitely clouding some of the perspective here. We went 11-6, that's not a bad team. That's not a hopeless team. That's not a...
Regardless of how we feel about him, it is almost guaranteed that there is a handshake agreement not to go to an East team. IMO the one scenario...
Why is Kirk better than Tua? He's 35 and coming off an Achilles. 1-4 playoff record. Got beat by the Giants last year. And for everyone crying...
It's cable replacement. By next year, most of the important games will be on subscription streaming channels.
Too bad he only turned the ball over twice instead of 4 times? Does that negate what he said? I mean, that last throw could have been a bad...
Part of things are when you play teams as well. For instance, we got Denver before they went on a bit of a roll. On the flip side, we caught...
They won't miss the whole season, but certainly a chunk of it. AVG sounds like a short term injury, it will be a priority to get him under...
A lot of 9-8 teams. I don't think it's easy but also not brutal unless we get screwed by travel.
Tbh I don't care who we play as much as when. I want 3 playoff level teams in our first 6 games. I want the Bills game 1. Show us what we are....
The biggest issue with saying we need a TE upgrade is that most don't give good production in year one. Sam LaPorta in Detroit is a big exception....
Flores was a fraud. Any offensive success we have had was done without anything from Flores. Defensively, we have moved away from most anything...
Campbell learned and grew a ton under Payton. Much of what he does and is doing in Detroit are lessons he took from that. He also has some staff...
I think it's the opposite - McDaniel should consider handing off play calling duty, though not sure if giving to Frank Smith is a good idea since...
Nobody stepped up with Waddle on the bench. Berrios is just meh, Wilson was a total bust, Cracraft doesnt stay on the field and Claypool is a bum...
This. It's worth remembering he's not just newer to being a HC, but he's also newer to being a play caller and he's young. I think he connects...
This is me. It's just not worth it when it's almost always disappointment. Collinsworth does that to a player (usually QB) every game. I...
In general, IMO there is a difference between the "Ugh, not again, eff this" type of fan and the "I told you so neener neener neener" type. We...
Fair, I was thinking of Tindall and Smith and let him slip.
I almost turned it off after that stupid screen pass on the Bills first drive went for like 30 yards and the defense was looking trash. I kept it...
Well that was the season IMO. I wouldn't write us off against KC entirely, but also I would be moderately surprised at a win. Adverse weather...
It would be a huge failure. You don't have the season we had, the excitement we had, the talent we have ... and then blow a big divisional lead,...
If I had to bet, this is the outcome I'd choose. But I'm also just going to note that emotionally and mentally the Bills are probably on fumes....
I get it, but at some point the injuries are too much. These guys are starters for a reason. They get crazy contracts or first round pick status...
They have been balling out, but it's also been born of desperation because of the hole they put themselves in. It is very hard to maintain that...
Going to be super important for the stretch and playoffs, along with the offense not giving up easy/dumb TOs. It's just such a huge advantage, and...
I haven't bothered reading anything else on this game or any of these other threads. Suffice to say it, that ending was a team embarrassment. I...
I think it's kind of a fun midseason thing, but after a garbage loss like that, against the elite teams we are going to start hitting, rolling...
None of these games are out of reach. The Cowboys and Ravens are both GOOD, yes. But it's not like we some auto-loss here. Playing at home is a...
One could argue that Mike is a top 10 coach, but Tua has been elite this year. Hopefully he can remain elite down the stretch. We have some easy...
Do think Mike McDaniel needs to step it up here. Offense needs some wrinkles and honestly our short yardage situation is dire. But he's fine and...
I don't put it past professionals to improve and get better, and wouldn't count out a team because of something that happened years ago. That...
I can understand that take, but we have the potential to have as potent and balanced a team as either of the other two, and moreso than those...
Sucks for them but a big opportunity for the rest of the AFC. I disagree that the Ravens aren't a real threat - that defense is legit and I do not...
I largely agree. The big games is where McDaniels is lacking so far, it's the last resume point he needs. We can miss Achane for sure, but also,...
So then we need to stop using it as an excuse or crutch. Play better. Execute better.
Ok but that's life. Like, who do you think we will play in the playoffs? It's good to elite defense all the way to the SB. Like, it could be a...
And yet they refuse to make a move. If he can't execute, why is he on the team?
If you offered me yesterday that we held Kelce to 14 yards and the Chiefs to 21 points then I'd have taken it. The offense just couldn't get it...
The defense getting used to the system and starting to buy in and going from a below average to even something in the 10-15 range would be huge....
Anyone is beatable. Those NFC North teams are going to be problems. Cinci is blueprinting San Fran right now, and that Cleveland defense can get...
Giants SHOULD have beaten the Bills and Jests and managed to piss away both games. That roster is definitely not good, at all, but yeah Daboll's...
This, though I hesitate to predict blowouts in divisional rivalries. But everything is pointing to this being what SHOULD happen. The best WR in...
Gotta take this one. They are flying high after the Buffalo upset, coming into our place. Our guys need to be angry and just be physical. Set the...
They are definitely feeling the loss of both coordinators. Also integrating lots of young players on defense and some new folks on offense as...
The Niners are like scary good. But Dallas also seems to kind of suck. The defense feasted on two of the worst offenses in the NFL in weeks 1-2...
Giants, Jests and Panthers will probably be up there. Or down there, as it were. There are TEN teams right now with 1 or 0 wins. Some will win...
He's got a shot, but at 65 and over 50 games to go he would need to stay really motivated. Mahomes can carry him through it though if he really...
The Panthers might be even worse than the Giants fyi. And they are coming off a tough, physical game with Detroit. Take care of business. Maybe a...
If he keeps losing like this he might not have a choice. Kraft doesn't want to sit around waiting on the past to become the future.
Bills lose and breaking news: The Patriots are straight ***. I'm almost about ready to be nervous about them being in contention for Caleb...
How can you not see it? Who cares if our defense gave up 48 points (and could have scored more if they wanted), but this is all Tua's fault. How...
Just one part to a horrific gameplan. It needs to be a learning experience for everyone, including and especially Fangio. But really, execution...
The Pats and Jets are terrible. Just awful. Salah acting on the sideline like he knows the axe is coming, knows there is nothing he can do and...
I mean, terrible loss all around. The Tua stuff feels misplaced though, just the rats coming out of the woodwork. The Bills put us behind the...
i mean, we all got a chuckle at that weird Bills MNF game against the Jests ... but overall they are the second highest scoring team behind us and...
Not really. It's in Buffalo, and they are also rolling. They also have historically been good in the last few years while we are new money to a...
Here's an interesting one ... apparently we set the record for number of voices silenced.
I can't believe it took Tua this long to have a 70 point game. And you know what? I bet he can't do this consistently. BUST!!!
The arm was definitely an issue his first two years, which was probably somewhat a result of the Alabama hip injury - both in terms of the time he...
This - I'm just not sure who else is around. Robbie Gould is lurking but wants to stay in the midwest for family. Brett Maher has a big leg, but...
They already went through tough times in his first year and a half and have continued to respond. After a 1-6 start they finished like 8-2 last...
Every week? No. Nobody does that. But it's seriously time to stop - his contract situation was entirely and completely down to health concerns....
He's not the playcaller, and that particular game situation he made the right call. It was gonna be fourth and 1, not 3, and the Chiefs had gone...
He is the guy who wants us to get Carson Wentz or Matt Ryan lol.
Incentives count for the cap regardless of realism. That's a heavy hit for the position. He might be a big piece for them. Or he might be...
Spending almost 9 mil on Cook tells me the Jets don't think Hall is going to have a good year coming off that ACL. That and Rogers is a 1-2 year...
Matt Ryan? Carson Wentz?!?! Jfc almighty.
Backup QB is just the worst position to deal with. We thought we signed an "ace" backup last year and he was a total dud and got arguably...
I mean, the Giants just signed James Robinson for a penny. Anyone thinks Gaskin is getting value when dudes like Robinson are desperate just to...
I'm not sure Gaskin has any real trade value. Maybe as like a late round pick swap or something. He's a non-value player at a non-value position....
Anyone seeing Oppenheimer? I am intrigued, but with a baby it's hard to pull the trigger on anything atm. Nolan does some fantastic stuff, but a...

Cinci is overrated? They've been in the AFC Championship two years in a row and Burrow is probably the second best QB in the league right now....
Torrance is really the only guy who I think would have been a realistic choice. Maybe Steen (though he's probably a G and not a T). Ultimately,...
There are reasons the Lions dumped him, and frankly I was shocked to see them get a 4 (albeit two drafts from now). He's soft, he's injured all...
Devon Achane, I like the pick. Blistering speed but runs hard. Sounds kind of like Wilson and Mostert rolled into one. Not a big guy, but not...
I think the Texans just drafted a guy from that Key and Peele name skit. Juice Skruggs.
Chris Grier's kid plays for South Carolina - he's gotten a ton of scouting on this kid. Not complaining, it was the weak link of our defense last...
Cam Smith, CB from South Carolina. Not strictly a need position, but he's pretty solid. And he's a dude Grier knows in and out (iirc his own kid...
Both gone lol. Torrance the G from Florida, Washington the Georgia TE or Jones the T from OSU make all the sense in the world for us. Probably...
Taking another late round QB feels like a wasted pick in a draft where we don't have picks to waste.
Personally, it would make sense. At least, maybe a guy who could do either like Avila. Good chance he's gone though.
Not a fan of either Levis or Hooker and no, you absolutely don't "have" to take either. There's good reasons they weren't chosen. Still some...
For who? Gibbs was kind of the one guy we were linked to. I could see us moving up in round 2 if someone they really like makes it to like 40ish,...
I'm watching a live stream of the local sports radio hosts and they are all going wtf lol. Funny stuff. Holmes was riding real high, but he has...
Did the Jets just take a 5th round player?
Hahaha Lion's land is IMPLODING right now. :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:
Bijan at 8 LOL. Falcons working hard to be 7-10.
This is an interesting trade. I seriously question why the Lions didn't push to get #3 and Will Anderson. I'd have to tally up Arizona's final...
I feel like every year we hype up RB's and then watch us not draft any. I don't really see a reason for that to change, especially if Gibbs joins...
Laughable. Typical media garbage. Flat out, he had a much better shot to win a SB in Green Bay. The path to both division and conference titles...
Rogers has become an absolute headcase. Better than Zach Wilson, sure, but pretty much anyone other than Nathan Peterman is probably better than...
All these ex-Pats guys are the same.
TE is a hard position for a rookie to make a big impact, I'd avoid that. Wright is solid though. Would depend on the cost but if we are going...
Nobody bringing up OL? Dawand Jones is a possibility to fall and would probably plug and play. Darnell Wright would be the dream, but by all...
See that's just it, there are folks crying about how it changes the way the game is played, but the game used to be played much faster. The 80s...

An interesting move. Surprised we have gone out and brought him back and brought in Berrios but not Sherfield. I thought Trent did a good job as...
I'm as scared of Gisecki on New England as I was about Parker. Not at all. I think it would be great if they won like 5-6 games. Few enough to...
Same. We have a fine starting complement, but a backup in the 4-5th round would be great. It's a nice draft for backs, and they will be there....
Love the pickup here, the 3YPC guys were on him weeks ago as being a good fit and great skillset. Hopefully he can stay on the field.

Gotta see how the FA period plays out first. While MLB would be a good target, we could also use TE or G/T as well. I also wouldn't entirely rule...
Not sure we have the money for that lol, though I guess we can make moves to shift money around or cut some folks.
Hunter Long and a third. Wow, cheap. At least in terms of compensation. The cap space is not lol, but it's not my money.
Bears just pulled off a doozy: [MEDIA] Great move for them in getting a #1 receiver for Fields. They've gone from horrendous to solid at WR...
The problem is Rogers is a selfish and "me-first" player. He's basically admitted he's pushing his stats even at the expense of the team. I can...

Rogers took a big step backward last year, not afraid of him, especially with a better defense under Fangio. As an aside ... looking at the...

Desai wasn't the DC of Seattle, go look at his Bears' tenure.
No reason to get upset at interviews - it's common to do it with internals. I would be severely disappointed if he was the hire though.
No thanks, just draft someone who actually plays the position. Trey Lance went third overall.
I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that Payton coaches. The Saints are reportedly now asking for a pair of first rounders which is insane....

People talking about Grier this, Ross that, Tua ... whatever. Saying Flores had a raw deal (??? Absolutely trash level coach). Who even cares?...
Meh I'm done. 8-3 to likely 8-9 and out of the playoffs. No thanks, I don't see the point. See you next year maybe.
Manning went first. But there are contenders. Baker and Darnold over Allen. Trubisky over Mahomes. And as for flat out busts, Zach Wilson says hi.
Tua is reminding me of Daniel Jones. This stretch has been an absolute disaster and it frankly feels like we are back to square one. I don't...

I mean, if it gets them Bryce Young then maybe it was kind of smart? Also, Marcus Mariotta is an atrocity at QB. Like the reverse Geno Smith.

And there it is. I wondered after that CMC trade if some of their depth may shake loose to us. Good move, he and Mostert are a nice pair.

It's official, papers are signed. The new theory is that after they decided it wasn't working THAT'S when Brady went "well eff it, I'm playing then".
At least for this year we already played them too. Playoffs may be another story, but we have a tiebreaker.
They have lost Robert Quinn and now Roquan Smith so that likely changes a bit.
There will be no Brady at this point, c'mon now.
Quinn is solid, but an impending FA and old. Not a surprise he didn't get a big return.
As big as the running game is, I'd also suggest an RB that could better take advantage of the attention paid the passing game. And based on the...
Bradley wasn't the first Chubb I thought of, but he makes sense if we can find the cap room for an extension. I don't see any way to shell a high...
I'm not sure there is another QB that takes as many bad sacks as Aaron Rogers. Post-Super Bowl letdown, Stafford playing hurt and an atrocious...
Why on Earth are some people here still trying so hard to discredit our QB? Seriously, eff off and go root for the Jets or something.
Much better, but man you don't want to allow an inferior team like the Lions to jump you like that. Put them in a bodybag. This is the style of...
Zack Wilson is ... not great. On the other hand, the Eagles keep trucking. But Dallas with a get-right game might be a legit challenge to them.
Ugly defensive performance, but offense getting back on track and looking good. Ultimately, it shouldn't have been that close, but a road win in...
I watch them every week being local to the area. He was touted as a Kittle-esque blocker in college but it has never translated. He is average at...
He was probably the best part of that otherwise lackluster show to me. They are trying to give him more of the anti-hero vibe than being a...
Yeah I saw it awhile back as well. Made by the same director as John Wick I believe, and there are some stylistic similarities, especially with...
He is not good. Seriously, he's not an improvement over Big Mike and like him will also be looking for a payday.
I mean, the NFC is just so bad this year. 17 games is still a lot to get through, however.
Are ... are the Eagles a threat to go perfect in the regular season? [IMG]
Titans are 4-2. Rams have issues on the OL and Stafford needs Tommy John. I don't think a few preseason snaps would fix the messes in either Indy...
Which teams? IMO the good teams came out hot. There are just more bad teams than usual this year, especially in the NFC.
You guys not putting Allen as a clear top 3 QB (at worst) in this league are nuts. The only guy I would consider above him is Mahomes and even...
I almost wonder if we might poke around the 49ers and see what they want for Wilson. Alternately, they are getting close to seeing Elijah...
I suspect Swift will play - he practiced all last week and it was a surprise when he wasn't active for the Dallas game. Also, St. Brown was not...
Zappe suuuuuuuuuuucks.
New England has had the benefit of playing some really bad teams lately, they are playing well but they really aren't that scary imo. We better...
They have apparently traded for James Robinson....
He had a nice slide in the second quarter. I'm hoping it was just him maybe telling himself he could still be tough once before he made the safer...
Ugly win, I went to bed at halftime as I had to get up early today and I didn't miss anything. Good to see defense toughen up and keep points off...
Not bad, but should be better. Needed to convert one of those FGs into TD. Defense needs to stiffen up and someone on that line needs to figure...
Need to bow up and force a FG here. Don't let inferior teams hang around. Defensively we just lack playmakers outside of X and maybe Holland....
Oh come on seriously?!?!?!?!
Our DL just ... doesn't really get pressure. They need to step it up.
There we go, some good luck and a nice play. Let's punch this in and go up 17-0.
The Fitz hit was nasty but looked legit to me. Not to the head, lead with shoulder. Shame Mostert couldn't hang on but it was nasty. Three is...
Oh god, don't do that!!!!
I think Pitt shocked some people when they beat the Bucs ... but the Bucs just got trashed by the effing Panthers. Pitt might have just gotten a...
Well that was a great looking drive. Aside from that Liam blunder followed by the disaster throw to Hill 8 yards behind the line that was...
At least he didn't get traded to Buffalo.
I mean, we are 3-3 with a rookie coach who for the last 3 games hasn't had a starting QB finish a game. If we finish the year with a losing record...
Taunting/Unsporting type penalties should be a fine only and not penalty yardage - change my mind.
The Cowboys did what we hoped and failed to do - win games against vulnerable/bad teams via defense and running the ball and just hoping the...
The Long thing is fairly well known. Flores went to BC to scout someone and was super impressed by Long and made drafting him a priority. If you...
Nah I'd have been much more angry at signing a marginal talent to a big contract. Armstead is an absolutely elite player and a complete offensive...
Can't take issue with bringing in Terron. He missed a game, lots of players and linemen do, it is what it is. I don't understand why we can't...
Yeah I was sorely tempted to hit up the game against the Lions here at Ford Field ... but man I just can't justify that cost right now.
Helps to go against the literal worst defense in the league. That said, the Vikings aren't exactly a defensive monster. This is absolutely a...
These refs and roughing calls are out of control. Absolutely absurd between the Allen one last week, then the Brady and just now the David Carr....
The Colts and Broncos are just horrendous. Matt Ryan looks finished. Wilson looks like he doesn't care. Broncos fan are booing their own team.
Vikings D is garbage. Their offense can score, but Cook is already dinged up. Focus on taking away Jefferson and you have the upper hand. They...
Also putting the 17 and later 18 game expansion in question. The sport is just too violent to be playing so many games and on short rest. Also,...
It's a conversation piece to draw clicks (internet) or eyeballs (TV). The Bills are likely still rated ahead of us by many popular rankers because...
Yikes, that's pretty bad. I think it's fair to investigate the Tua thing, and I really hope it's not a concussion and that things weren't...
That and coaching matters. See also: Trevor Lawrence. Looked completely lost despite being one of the most elite prospects ever. Year two, swap...
The arm side reversal videos are masterpieces. Whoever first started that the other week is a mad genius. I really hope that was the case, but...
The 49ers and Broncos look horrendous offensively. I'm not sure if Wilson is just plain bad or if the coaching is just that bad ... maybe both?...
I mean, their secondary was hurting .... but we held an ELITE offense and ELITE QB to 19 points. Their DL and LBs are excellent positional groups...
Yep. We should legit be eyeing a 12-13 win season at this point - we can challenge the Bills and should be an elite WC team if we do end up in...
Hyde has been placed on IR and will miss the remainder of the season - a big blow to the Buffalo secondary.
Absolutely have to limit mistakes. The Titans couldn't get out of their own way last night and it let the Bills just put the pedal down. Mistakes...
Yeah, as good as Allen and the offense have been ... that defense has been lights out against two solid offensive teams. We can't let this get...
Eh, I don't agree it's desperation. It's more of a high risk, high reward thing using an aggressive attacking scheme vs. a passive one. The...
AFC South and North are ... garbage. Holy hell. The Jags have a legit shot to take that division. The Ravens are probably good, but limited. The...
Last week was a fluke imo. Home opener vs the former QB who apparently wanted out and may not have been a popular rocker room guy. Also, Broncos...
That's the thing about having 2 WR1s, you can't easily just double or roll that. You can't have 4-5 defenders on two players. I mean, you can, but...
I was concerned that he didn't have it in him, but I didn't say he couldn't until halftime of this game. L.O.L.
I might have never issues a take that aged this poorly this quickly. What can I -we- say? Tua did what he had never do e and frankly didn't look...
Yeah I'm done, he just doesn't have an NFL game. Enough to win against bad teams if the defense holds, but he just doesn't bring much to the...
A number of teams are already really struggling with injuries and depth. The coaching staff being able to get new guys integrated and playing at...
It's commonly stated to be one of, if not THE worst stadiums in the league. My only experiences were at Houston (during the Saban era) - good...
AJ Brown was a huge get for them, he came up really big today. But yeah, he seems to be one of those QBs that will feast on Lions-level defenses...
Not scared of Parker in the least. Stack the line, shut down Harris/Rhamondre, force Mac to beat you under pressure throwing to some of the...
I mean, if you look at the Shannahan run system, it kind of does turn nearly any player into a success. Lots of RBs going through that system all...
This doesn't sound like a good situation at all.
I mean, you're not gonna CC a punt from 70-80 yards out. I wonder if the accuracy at distance from the kickers have anything to do with it -...
I'm not going to side eye the coaches if they make this call ... but if Tua goes down for a 3 week stretch mid/late season and we NEED to win 2 of...
TBH the Bills should just cut him. Absolutely eff this dude. Apparently they were alerted to this in early August as well and let him practice and...
The Buffalo hit that knocked him out ang gave him the rib injury? Wasn't that Jesse Davis who did an ole?
Wasn't Hunter Long a Flores guy? Like the story was that we had no real interest in him but Flores went to BC's pro day to scout someone else and...
The way they played under Flores, I'd take middle of the pack in a heartbeat.
They should be. We are way more talented than the Jests, and give the Pats any other coach and the national types would be projecting them for a 3...
Armstead maybe? Seems a bit low for X, would need to see how many other CBs are ahead of him. Hopefully next years list will feature several more!
I'd say it depends on exactly what the physical entailed from the Texans. If it was some kind of MRI/CAT scan, that may have caught something in...
Why would we bother? He's a nobody and it's one of the deepest positions on the team.
I had no real interest in bringing him back to begin with, so I have no real interest in keeping him either. He's done nothing to warrant a spot...
So Andor looks like the titular (heh) character Cassian Andor is essentially a vehicle used to help tell more of the beginnings of the rebellion....
This is both hilarious and absolutely true. :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle::chuckle: Moving on to new series, the Andor trailer dropped and ... it...
You know what, it would be freaking awesome if we actually become trend-setters for the league in something like using elite speed/quickness...
This is 100% true, but that they DID work so hard to retconn and eventually tie things together made it seem like they would keep having bit...
The White Bengal is pretty neat, and since white bengals are an actually existing variant to orange it fits thematically as well. The Texans red...
[SPOILER]
I must have missed the JC reference as well lol, though I wasn't looking and didn't know about it ahead of time. I think my biggest disagreement...
The first one still made a ton of money, plus it was probably part of the plan to have a second (the end and post credit scenes obviously flow...
It didn't need them IMO. Upper tier movie for me, I thought it was fantastic and it's my favorite Marvel in some time. It's definitely a Taika...
Agree. It felt like someone watched Ep. 4, had the standard thought of "man, it would have been cool if they had the tech to do a proper...
I largely agree. However, the mom getting upset thing ... could that be a cultural representation? It's somewhat stereotypical, the idea that...
It was a solid scene, but clashed with the motifs from earlier when Reva was essentially doing the same and was stopped by both the Grand dude and...
Which moment are you thinking here? 100% - that parkour scene for example. Like, what the hell even was that? Then she just kind of saunters...
Interesting, I am super underwhelmed by it so far.
IMO Ragnarok was great and I don't really have any complaints, but I do think there is room for a more serious performance. And I think Bale is an...
Agree. Overall I like the vibe, but the CGI felt off, the body should be more muscular/thick - the way it is now reminds me more of the blue...
In the plus column, most rookie coaches are taking over bad teams with little talent. Look at Robert Salah with the Jests, Daboll and the Giants,...
Matt Patricia and Joe Judge doing the offensive heavy lifting? AKA the dude that ran the Lions into the ground and the guy that failed to a QB...
He's definitely not a full time, every down guy at this stage of his career. However, the impact he had on the KC defense last year after being...
Pretty meh overall, but he's competition and depth. He may also have some Patriot intel, and it would be fun to see him have a big game against...
Nice of the schedulers to give us the SF and LA back to back, I assume we will just stay west that whole week. Having December games at Buff and...
IMO the movie sort of paralleled the show in that regard [SPOILER]
Disney went after him hard because they really liked him from Star Wars, but he apparently did not like that whole process and it's what made him...
So the trailer they just released the other week isn't really going to be the show? I know a lot of people were disappointed in the lack of bendy...
Waddle will be due about the time Hill is expiring. Works out. :up:
Tua - show a good, live arm with zip on the throws. Show, in some fashion, that the offense is suited to him and that he is learning it at a good...
That tweet (and post) are from like two weeks ago. :chuckle:
Grades ultimately mean nothing. Why did Johnson slide like that, and maybe it was for a reason? Sauce is a good player, but will be interesting to...
I mean, they tried to pay Adams about as much as the Raiders did. And this is a team that has a 2 year window with Rogers. Eff the cap this year....
Eagles may be trading for AJ Brown. If true, that's a move the Packers should absolutely have made.
Arizona has acquired WR Hollywood Brown from the Ravens. Looks like AZ gave up their first round pick.
Hahaha Stingley #3. Texans gonna Texan. :chuckle:
Gonna be a wild night. Do you take the three year starter defensive end with like 2 sacks first overall!?!? Will the Panthers select a six year...
Ok but WHY is he done with San Fran? That seems to be the biggest question. Regardless, SF looks like they are gonna play hardball, and are...
Moon Knight update: post Episode 4. Wtf.
Absolutely. Been a draft fan for ages, it's just a cool event. I actually think the lack of superstar elite talent may lead to some weird stuff,...
We couldn't just hire Payton though, he was under contract to New Orleans. Same with Brady, he was under contract to Tampa and we couldn't just...
The wife and I need to wait a few days most likely. Gotta get the grandparents lined up for the kiddo haha. I'm pretty stoked though, the trailers...
If a five win season is your most impressive accomplishment, you haven't really accomplished anything. I get that we had very little in the way...
People are conflating McDaniels' pre-crowned genius (a fair point to be leery of and debate, as the Gase era shows) with how the team is reacting...
It's a weird move for a team that has a lot of needs. Two firsts this year is a quick injection of talent, but they are giving up a fair bit down...
The Bubble - a Judd Apatow Netflix movie about a documentary of a movie produced in the pandemic. Say what you want about Netflix films (most...
I mean the Saints just got 2 first rounders this year. While QB is super weak, there are some very strong position groups in this draft and it's...
Minor generalized plot spoiler below. Guy starts hearing voices, goes a little crazy, gets tired and sweaty, sees stuff in the mirror, realizes...
Put glass shards in your shoes and see how put together you can be? :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle::chuckle::chuckle: On the other hand, Oscar...
Moon Knight ep 1 (I hate this weekly release format, let me binge damn you!!) Thumbs up. It starts weirdly and is very confusing for a good...
I was 100% in favor of trading him. Thought a 4th would be a good compensation, a third next year sounds good. Not particularly worried about...
TBH I think their offense is trash and we should hold them to sub 20 both games. But, their defense is good and not who I would choose to begin...
On one hand, I understand how a lot of new pieces, new coaches and new system = slow start. On the other hand, our offenses have been SO BAD that...
Am I the only one who doesn't particularly care about "fairness" between teams that couldn't win the game? Like, you have four 15 minute...
I think the fact that he hasn't been out on social media airing laundry and complaining shows either he's well into contract talks, or he agreed...
Do we have money left?
Damn man, go find a new team jfc.
I'd be surprised if he is on our opening day roster. Id take a fourth to recoup the one we traded. Hell, maybe a 6th. I already mentioned after...
He's missed games, but he is a true elite at LT. We got much better today with this move, it's finally what we have been looking for, an actual...
He is 100% the backup. That doesn't mean he will finish the season that way, but for now, he absolutely is. Tua may get hurt, or may not...
Including us. After the disaster that last year's line was, I don't think it's premature to think we should be acting with maybe a touch more...
It is premature in that he COULD do those things, but it's not premature to vent or raise your eyebrow that he hasn't. Regardless of what some...
No way. They have a legit high end defense and Aaron is leagues better than Goff, Cousins and Fields. Adams' loss is a big blow to their SB odds,...
Maybe it was just a bad fit, but Julio just seemed done last year. Beckham is probably a higher ceiling at this point. Allen Robinson would have...
Sounds like Adams wanted to go play with Carr, not much the Packers could do. They need some WR help bad now though.
Adams didn't want to play for the tag and GB probably doesn't want to commit long term money post Rogers. They have a void to fill now though....
This. It's hard to go from "historically bad" to "actually pretty decent" and we need at least that. At the least, we needed to sign some vets...
Well that's something I didn't see coming. I wonder if they trade Ryan or just cut him. It's gonna be a massive hit this year, but that's about it...
The Progressive (or whatever) commercial of him selling the stadium will be interesting.
Is it just me or does Rosenhaus represent like every guy we just had sign a contract? The only move I didn't really like in any fashion was the...
Not excited about Preston Williams at all, at any price. Will be disappointed if he takes a roster spot.
It's essentially what they did with Cooper. I don't know if he has any no-trade ability though. Teams may be more willing to be patient and take a...
Gronk? I don't think it's unreasonable to think he might have lured some guys, or had undo influence enough to get a real offensive coordinator....
All that angst and then Mike signs his TE tag and then we sign Ogbah back on a solid deal (well below the DE tag).
He's much better imo. Injury is a concern, but it's a position we are likely to have big depth at anyway. If he stays on the field and our OL is...
