Royale with Cheese

Well you can't exclude Diggs, a 1st round pick was used on him. A strong defense with a great QB is definitely sustainable. The 49ers have been Super Bowl contenders for the last few years with Jimmy G as QB. Of the top 10 NFL scoring defenses, only 2 aren't above .500 and one is the Bucs who are one game below. Cook is coming around now. Not sure why Shakir has been invisible since the Ravens game. I think we need Knox incorporated more in the passing game. I think Allen's slump is over and we will start seeing more consistency on offense.

We don't need a top flight, big money FA WR in the offseason. John Brown type level and contract. Or our #25-#32 picks on a WR if the board falls that way.

I watched 2 episodes of Yellowstone this weekend. I can't wait for #3! It's got me hooked.

I can see why Davis was thought to be a #2. He has been someone they have been developing and see him every day in practice. He wasn't given the targets because of Sanders and John Brown in his first two years. He didn't step up this year and now we know we need a better #2. Davis will probably finish this year with about 60 receptions, about 900 yards with about 7 TD's. Not bad but not consistent enough.

They are going BPA. I hope it's a WR that's still sitting there...maybe a guard. But whoever is the top person on their board, they will take.

Definitely a bad omen! Another Broncos situation?? I really, really, really hope so.

As Nate Geary has stated....we've slept walked to 30 ppg. What will happen once we get rolling again?

For this board...yes. Some on this board think we are 3-8.

Never at any point of the season did the Cowboys and Bengals miss their entire starting secondary, both starting DE's, 2 starting DT's and had 3rd/4th stringers playing a lot...that's just defense. We have had All Pros miss over 30 games combined. Not just All Pro's...high level players and back ups as well. Yes, if by the end of the year we are mostly healthy except for Hyde....then yes, injuries won't be an excuse. Injuries is an excuse for why our defense isn't playing at the level they should be right now.

That's right!!

I think LT could be something they look at closer to Dawkins reaching his upper 20's.

In the second half after Benford got injured....Cam Lewis and Ja'Marcus Ingram were our starting CB's. Not to mention Hamlin and Johnson were our starting Safety's. This secondary went up against one of the best WR tandem in the league.

I honestly don't think they were interested in McDuffie. He's a short armed CB and I think Elam was the one they targeted all along. He's a taller corner with speed.

We have 3 players on our secondary that have either made All Pro or 2nd Team All Pro. All of them have missed significant time. Poyer is the only one that has really played this year and he's missed 4 games himself. That's 75% of one unit, your strongest unit depleted. Would the Legion of Boom be great if Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas missed most of the year?

How was it a panic move when Elam was their only 1st round grade player left?

I am 100% on a firm stance with #2 WR being our main priority in the offseason. Gabe Davis is a #3 at best. He's a guy you want to make the big play down the field but not to rely on consistently throughout a game.

Injuries are an excuse like it was for Baltimore last year. Saying injuries aren't an excuse is basically saying the back ups are equally as effective as the starters. A regular rate of injuries to starters, if you're a good team, shouldn't faze you too much. But when you have this: - Von Miller (Indefinitely) - Jordan Poyer (4 games) - Micah Hyde (15 games) - Tre White (10 games) - Kair Elam (2 games) - Christian Benford (3 games + additional 4 games for IR) - Jordan Phillips (3 games) - Tim Settle (2 games) - Ed Oliver (4 games) - Greg Rosseau (3 games) - Tremaine Edmunds (3 games) - Matt Milano (1 game) Everyone of these players except Milano missed multiple games or will miss multiple games. That's 4 All Pro's on defense that we have missed multiple games at the same time. That's many key contributing starters who aren't All Pro's. Not only that, but the back ups have gotten hurt and we've had to use 3rd and 4th stringers. We have had every single starter injured except Taron Johnson and DaQuan. That's unreal. If the Cowboys were missing Parsons, Diggs, Lawrence, Kearse, Vander Esch, Anthony Brown and Armstrong all around the same time and for multiple games...would they be as good?

I would absolutely love it if he came back here.

Even though we haven’t played well lately, KC is very beatable. If it wasn’t for the gaff at the end of the playoff game last year, we wouldn’t give a **** about playing at Arrowhead.

Josh Allen doesn’t make that throw if his confidence is still shot. I think we will see regular Josh starting against the Pats. You can tell by the emotion he had in the hug with Diggs that it’s been a challenging few weeks for him. I think he’s back.

If it’s childish and idiotic for adults to be paid this much, why do support an organization that does? You sound like my friends daughter who started college last year. She thinks big corporations are hurting America but gets a new IPhone every year and shops at Target all the time.

Every back up left tackle is a down grade from the starter at the level of Dawkins. Quess was a former lower level starter….which is a your normal back up.

I guess that means the Eagles, Dolphins and Vikings aren’t making Super Bowl runs this year because they barely beat the Lions too when healthy.

We were supposed to look for a starting left tackle at the trade deadline?

This throw.
