LABILLBACKER

I will admit this has been his best season but being a contract year it's not a shocker. He basically plays like a 2nd strong safety which is fine for this defense. But if it's going to cost us upwards of 18-20M I just can't pull the trigger. He doesn't generate enough turnovers or sacks.

No, both Brown and Q are terrible. Have we forgotten how Josh injured his elbow. This organization better draft the best RT available.

Dawkins and Bates are the only guys I trust on a consistent basis. If Morse can avoid any concussions he could always give us 1 more year. Brown and Saffold cannot be allowed to start next season. I don't know what to do with Quessenberry? We've neglected OL since Josh was drafted. For nearly 5 years we've watched Josh run for his life. Our OL run blocking abilities (or lack thereof) have handicapped our run game. If we had an offensive HC, we'd see the O emphasized. Drafting 3 DE'S over 2 drafts was foolish. And signing Von just validates that. Just please draft at least a LG & RT. A feel free to grab an early round WR.

Please God can we win it all while Marv is alive.

Just to bother you Airtroll....

We don't have a shutdown defense. Our strength is our offense. Score first and get up 7-0. Just make sure we possess the ball before halftime.

The Jesters can't possibly be this stupid....could they?

I kinda like Ken but don't love him as an OC. This seems a little premature on Carolina's part. If we do lose KD, I'd immediately go after Riech.

They ran very little last week. I think it's heavy intermediate routes to Chase & Higgins. I wouldn't be overly concerned with Boyd.

If he plays like Favre so be it. Just land us a couple Lombardis over the next decade.

This is 100% McDermott's defense. The philosophy, structure and gameplan. Leslie is allowed to call the occassional blitz but I'm sure Sean doesn't want him to go crazy. The rotations, coverage etc I'm sure goes through McD.

Because of no Von...no Micah...Sean's in game issues, I'll say I'm 60% confident we'll win another high scoring close game.

And that's why you play more press which we never do.

I think alot of fans were.

After watching our #1 defense get shredded with 13 seconds left, I could care less about stats & analytics. The only thing that matters to me IS the smell & eye test.

This might help a little but I'm not getting all excited from this news. Last year didn't the Titans sack Joe like 9x and he still won. The only reliable blitzer we have is Milano. Edmunds has no clue what to do with a blitz. Groot & Ed will have to carry this front 4. God we needed Von for these next couple games.....

They gotta catch the easy ones....the layups. The circus catch later just makes the dropped bomb more frustrating. Josh could've had anywhere from 4-6 tds in that game with a few more inches.

Felt Tom had a perfect storybook ending for retirement with his last Lombardi. Now I think things are forced and his skills are clearly diminishing. Factor in ego and the fear of hanging up the cleats, who knows when he calls it? But last night was ugly and teams will now think twice?

I agree. If the route was supposed to take Smoke to the pylon, why doesn't the throw travel anywhere near the pylon? The Beasley int was just bad luck and a small arm bar that popped the ball out.

Dive you lazy ass

Brady's ego is so enormous he thinks he can go to 50. If this game doesn't immediately send him to permanent retirement, nothing will.

Tom it's time.

No one is asking Josh to stop the go routes. Just be smart enough to take the shorter routes, if for no other reason than to keep the defense honest.

Can we just eliminate both these teams now.
