LABILLBACKER

Let's hurry up and get that Lombardi with bargain Josh.

Exactly...he's worlds better than the likes of Keenun, Kyle A. and Barkley. Is he a top 5 backup...no, but he can get ya a couple games if 17 goes down? Eventually we'll draft a 5th round guy, we just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I don't need any answers anymore. Stef was a passionate competitor who unfortunately allowed his Viking diva personality to rear it's ugly head again. The history books will write that both players needed each other in the advancement of their prospective careers. Josh will be better off with a diva-less group of wrs who "all get to eat".

I just hope there's a path where Claypool makes the 53. His poor motivation/attitude history gives him a low floor but that size and talent is there.

Burn it all down...

So what's the solution. Ask Sean to build a different style of defense designed to stop Mahomes & Burrow. We haven't had a healthy elite pass rusher since the day 17 was drafted. Every single year in the playoffs it's a different defensive excuse. Against Houston we petered at the end. 2 straight years Leslie's defense gets shredded. In the blink of an eye (the Hamlin chaos year) we trailed Cincy 14-0 by the time I returned from the frig. Even if Bass makes that kick we're still losing because 50% of our defense crumbles to injuries. What's the solution? Start practicing NBA load management for our defense? Actually draft players who can get to Mahomes? I'm all ears....

This is exactly what I've been saying since we drafted Coleman and signed Samuel, MVS and Claypool. DC's will have no clue week to week who to key on. We won't be handcuffed force feeding targets to a diva. Like what's being emphasized in camp...."everyone eats"...

....well then that makes sense...

A healthy insurance policy if someone goes down.

Under normal circumstances your argument would be true. But we literally left only 13 seconds on the clock. Not even Brady, Mahomes, Elway or Manning would be-grudge Josh for that. I guess there is no multiverse where McD and his pathetic playoff defense is ever held accountable.

Buffalo Plus seems to be way too optimistic over Shorter and they don't even mention Claypool. Very odd?

Thank you....it always has and always will be about corporate (NFL) "greed" and the maximization of revenue. Don't kid yourself that they care about the increased injuries upon an 18 game season. The NFL will reduce it to 1 or no more than 2 preseason games for rookies and bubble guys. The NFLPA will 100% insist on 2 byes and potentially a roster expansion beyond 53. And the season will start Labor Day weekend, ending with the SB on the last Sunday in Feb. And there's very little the fans or players can do about it aside from a strike. This odd/ even 17 game schedule is not long for the NFL.

Coleman might make it but the votes are coming in slow.

It's pretty terrifying to think what we could've done to KC last January with a healthy Miller, Milano, Bernard and White.

Patrick didn't have a #1 last year. And if dink & dunk means we sustain drives and minimize turnovers then sign me up. We won 5 straight games without any contribution from Diggs so excuse me if I don't panic like some.
