It should be does Kiko finish the game vs doesn't finish the game.

Better hope we sign Glenn. For all that think he's just ok - wait until he's gone and you'll appreciate him then. He's one excellent tackle.

Of course

Crazy how we spent such a high draft pick on someone who can't play and a position we didn't need.

I'm just not buying into the defense isn't working because it's complex argument. I get that it's something to talk about since the ex players comments - but the veterans we have on the d line are more than capable of picking up a defense. I think it has much more to do with the buy in - in terms of the players don't think the philosophy matches their skills. I would imagine Mario is wondering why his job is to lock horns with the O-lineman and contain vs taking a wide angle to the QB. I would also imagine his concern was something like - they are paying me a lot of money to sack the QB and if I don't that money doesn't seem well spent and they're going to ask me to restructure and take a pay cut and my negotiating power is diminished because my stats won't speak for themselves. Furthermore it isn't working and QB's have way too much time. Could everyone imagine if Hughes contract was up this year instead of last year?

Easy for you to say - you wouldn't have to "fork" over 20 million to fire someone. Rex and Roman were excellent hires - but obviously things aren't working out perfectly and everyone knows that. But this firing after one year stuff is so immature. It's been 7 games dude - you gotta figure out a way to relax.

Chad Kelly says "Told ya you should have picked me"

Oh

Me too

I think you could be right but I think it's possibly more than adjusting. I think they're struggling to believe in the defense. I also think it's a bit extreme to think it's so complicated that this veteran group of defensive lineman are so lost it's translating to getting ran on and a paltry pass rush.

Next thing you'll know people will be saying a wrap is a sandwich. When will it stop?

I guess count me in as one of the ones that thought it would click on defense right away. I thought it was a match made in heaven and that making our defense at least as good as last year wouldn't be a challenge.

Exactly. And that's why he was also consulted about Rex and his opinion mattered - he wasn't just some guy on the sideline that was going to like it or lump it.

So you think Whaley has little power yet can decide on the going and coming off all players?

I don't give them a great chance but they have a chance with that defense. It is awesome.

So you want them to win and don't care how they do it or who they do it with? Then what's the point of being here?

Doesn't matter how many times you say it dezer - there's a litany of fans that just don't posses the ability to compare and contrast properly. It's about being upset and they feel smart by blaming someone.

Fred Jackson could've played safety

One of the games all time great defensive minds.

Everyone with half a brain knows Cassel is a miserable QB and you never ever want him to play. He doesn't even have the physical tools to help you.

For some reason my league let me pick up Deangelo Williams during their game. I'm new to this yahoo league and am not sure why they would allow me to do that with no waiver period.

Whaley is great at his job - not good - great.

Clearly our defense has underperformed - when our offense was healthy I liked what I saw not only from the players but Roman as well. The way our defense has played/schemed and the injuries to the offense are so unfortunate because I believe we were ready to come together.

Yeah but my point was it was meant to almost eliminate them. Players are now taking them out often at the mid or front of the endzone. That was a rare occurrence prior.

I know it's a different topic but it's been an epic fail by the NFL attempting to remove kickoffs for safety.
