    Not sure where you're getting this.  Brown played in 15 games and averaged 75 y/g in the first 8 and 65 y/g in the last 7 (he sat out the Jets season-ender).  And in the playoff game, there was enough blame to go around, like Duke dropping a perfect TD pass.  There is no reason to take him out of the starting lineup.

     

    As for taking a WR, again the off-season will be abbreviated and even the blue-chip prospects will have a hard time making an impact.  I say take one but later in the draft, but don't count on him this year.

     

    People who look at averages and think they mean something are funny. I didn't check your math, but you even shared a 13% drop off from 1st half of year which is pretty significant to me. He had a "big" game against pitt with a whopping 99 yards. Other than that, here's his other 4 games to finish the year...26, 26, 36, 53. Yeah - that's garbage. He was a complete non factor.

     

    Fast forward to playoffs, he sucked. And I mean, he REALLY SUCKED. John brown showing up and playing at least a half-focused game and we win that game by a lot. He came in lazy, he made rookie mistakes that rookies don't even make. Trash in the playoffs and 2nd half of the year. We can't count on him. 

     

    Oh and the duke drop. I totally agree that duke should have caught that.  BUT, if he caught that pass, we would be talking about him like made the toughest catch ever. Other than knox, there wasn't ONE SINGLE PASS that looked like a tough catch. If the ball wasn't between the numbers, it was a drop-guaranteed.

  2. It's funny. People talk about brown like he's some amazing #2 receiver. Let's not forget he did next to nothing the 2nd half of the year and may have cost us a playoff win more than anyone else on the roster. He had multiple lazy attempts where even a mediocre gets his foot down. One would have put us around the 5 yard line to give us a chance to seal the game. I'm ready to upgrade there.

    Statistically, it's probably been our most effective play this season. Can't remember where I saw it, but a couple weeks ago, I remember reading that our success rate on the QB keepers was like double our average.

    No way u are right. I'm talking about designed runs. Not play breakdown scrambles. Not possible that play works well statistically. It's like gore up the middle.

    Offense was much, much less than stellar.  Blame belongs on Allen's shoulders for this one.  Too many misses that either killed drives or kept points off the board.

    And he took multiple unnecessary sacks.

     

    And he was very inaccurate.

     

    He has a long way to go.

     

    Considering he's in his 2nd year, I would agree that he has to develop more. I mean that's pretty ***** obvious.

     

    He also was up 17-13 then 17-16 then down 17-24. Defense holds some accountability here too. Can't always blame the only person on offense capable of making a big play out of nothing. He's handicapped more than any other QB in the NFL.

    Any OC who puts Frank Gore on the field in really any situation let alone a 1st and goal set of downs is a terrible OC.

     

    When he does it again tomorrow and Frank Gore goes for -2 and we settle for a FG, I'm probably going to scream at the TV like I do every week.

     

    Just sayin' - this def happened today. My wife yelled at me after I went crazy after that really weird Gore sequence after Tre's pick/return.

     

    I calmed down. Then they did it AGAIN late in the 4th and handed the ball back to pitt with a chance to tie.

     

    I mean, I found myself rooting for a slight hammy pull that will keep him out a few weeks so we don't have to watch that garbage anymore.

  6. Went to a Bills/Patriots game in Buffalo this year. I won't ever go to a game in Buffalo again. The combination of idiotic Bills fans and Patriots fans made the game a waste of time. By the end of the game, I was watching the behavior of the fans more than the actual game because we had women and kids with us and there were losers trying to pick fights everywhere around us.

     

    I love my Bills, but Bills Mafia = drunken idiots in mass quantities doing stupid *****.

    We have plenty of guys on offense who CAN make big plays. 

     

    Beasley has made a bunch this year, I'd consider his TD & 2pt coversion today big plays.

     

    Knox has made several, including the 1-handed catch today, but probably has as many huge drops as big plays. Hopefully that's just rookie stuff.

     

    Brown has cooled off the the past few games, but obviously has many big plays for us.

     

    Even McKenzie has had a couple.

     

    Sure guys catch balls. That's obvious. But I'm talking about the plays that aren't right there. The great catch that doesn't hit the receiver in the numbers, the broken tackle for a huge play, etc. Sometimes somebody other than the qb and young RB need to break a big one wide open. We are only scoring on slow, methodical drives that require either Allen to be perfect or Devin to break some nice runs.

     

    McKenzie hasn't done sh$# other than a couple reverses. He's basically useless.

  8. All around the NFL, every week, every team, players make a big play. I feel like if it isn't Allen or Singletary, NOBODY helps out. I mean if the ball isn't right between the numbers, it's a drop - and often, we drop those too. It's OK to catch a bad pass once and a while (players do it all the time). Or make ONE guy miss and break a big TD. We have zero game breakers. Maybe run hard through a deep ball? Someone? Anyone? Next draft needs to be only weapons.

     

    2 more complaints -

    1.  can we please tell Robert's that he actually sucks now? He isn't breaking anything. If the ball goes into the end zone, he needs to kneel it down.

    2.  why the f%&* is Gore ever on the field at this point? Every single time he's out there, it's a throw away play. The defense (and everyone on the planet) knows exactly what we are doing and it never works.

    Its comments like this that are part of the problem. You just want him to shut his mouth and perform for you, right? He should give up his First Amendment rights because you don't agree with his message, right? He has used his platform and influence to bring awareness to issues that are important to him at great personal and financial costs. I applaud that. I support him. And you know what....there is nothing legally saying anyone needs to stand for the National Anthem. We have a choice. Myself and many many others have fought for that choice. He does not need to shut up and perform for you. You need to respect his stand.

     

    So the NFL should be kaep's personal platform because of the first amendment? The NFL also has rights and that's to hire whomever they want. If he was more focused on football while on the clock, he would be fine. Loads of other players have causes that they fight for - they just do it on their own time. He consistently makes a mockery of the NFL. Changing the location at the last second was a slap in the face to all those potential employers who went out of their way to give him the chance that he and all his supporters have been crying about.

    Most teams didn’t show up to Colin Kaepernick’s workout

    Posted by Michael David Smith on November 16, 2019, 6:40 PM EST
     

    As of this morning, a large majority of NFL teams were expected to have representatives in Atlanta to watch Colin Kaepernick work out. By the time the workout had been moved an hour away amid sniping between the league and Kaepernick’s representatives, most teams opted out.

     

    According to multiple reporters on the scene, the majority of NFL teams chose not to attend the rescheduled workout, which Kaepernick had in front of the media and on camera at a local high school instead of behind closed doors at the Falcons’ facility.

     

    https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/16/most-teams-didnt-show-up-to-colin-kaepernicks-workout/

     

    That's stunning. I would have expected most teams to be totally cool with that jerk changing his plans last second when he had almost a full week to do so.

     

    Clearly not a slap in the face of the teams who made travel arrangements just to see Colin's private audition.

     

    The reality is that Colin probably was disappointed that so many teams showed up because it goes against his agenda that the whole world is against him. Then changed his plans last minute so he can later say...see only 8 teams showed up to see me workout.

  11. This just confirmed what many of us knew. Colin doesn't actually want to play and never did. He just wants everyone to think he made a sacrifice. It's part of his martyr image. What complete moron tells everyone who took the time to come to Atlanta to see HIM to now drive an hour away? It's honestly stunning anyone even showed up at that point. It's a freaking job interview and he proved exactly why nobody is signing him - because he's a feaking drama queen.

     

    All this stupid colin followers should have realized this when his idiotic girlfriend posted a slavery picture while he was talking with the Ravens a while back. Every single time he has an opportunity, he mocks the NFL then cries about not getting a job.

    Which member of the Allen family are you?

     

    If I recall correctly, it was Allen who fumbled the ball before the half, giving Philly the short field.

     

    13 points doesn't cut it in today's NFL, chief.  And no, I don't place the blame solely on Josh.

    I'm definitely on the blame Allen for everything side. 31 points allowed is respectable.

  13. We kill drives with weird running plays to a 36 yo rb. That's our identity. When we lined up on 3-1 early in the first with dimarco and gore. I said to my wife and kid...game over. If that's our strategy today, we aren't going to win. Can't quit important drives.

    Oliver was a slam dunk pick that anyone makes. Edmunds was a bad pick. He had a mythical status regarding his athleticism but it really only appeared in straight line speed. I always thought it was sketchy that he didn't do any of the other drills at the combine, makes me think he knew he wouldnt perform well. Edmunds was slightly faster straight line at the combine but Vander Esch killed it in every other drill, the drills edmunds elected not to perform. Oh and Vander Esch actually looked good on tape it wasn't based on him capitalizing on his overhyped size and speed. I was pleasantly surprised when Edmunds looked competent earlier in the year but back to whack past couple weeks.

    I wouldn't have made that pick. Small defensive tackles almost never win games. Playmakers do. Up until this week our defense was "elite". Welp...we face a good offense and just like that we suck. Meanwhile, we have 1 maybe 2 middle-of-the-road WRs that are open sometimes and a young, promising RB who we refuse to use as A F'IN RB. But hey...we got Gore so all is good

    Let’s remember the Eagles strengths are our greatest weakness. Big DL first team to stop our run game, and their OL dominated in the 2nd half and wore down our DL. We know other teams will try to replicate this formula. 

    What running game? Our current running game is a 36 old RB. Other teams use rookie RBs. Shoot...our rookie RB seems to crush it every time he gets a chance. But can't hurt a HOfers feelings.
