  1. Sounds great in theory but is pretty much negated by the fact that almost everything you described would be considered roughing the passer.

     

    If we had somebody like Bosa, or if Von Miller does indeed return to form (I think he'll mostly get there) then we would've been able to do this far more than we did. Finding a guy who is even close to what Bosa or TJ Watt is would make this team digustingly good.

  2. If Beane doesn't totally screw up this draft and if we can maybe for once in our freaking lives not be absolutely wrecked by injuries to start the playoffs, I think we at least get to the AFCCG this coming season. If our defense had only been wrecked with injuries instead of being absolutely wrecked with injuries, we would've been there this year.

     

    After seeing how awful the Ravens played, it's a bit heartbreaking to wonder what could've been if we had had maybe one less starter out on defense. The expectation for next season should once again be to at least make the AFCCG, full stop.

    The Chiefs are an entitled bunch. They feel like the league owns them something. You could see that in Mahomes response to the Toney Offside call. 

    If he hadn't acted like he did after that game, I probably wouldn't be as annoyed with the thought of him winning another Super Bowl.

     

    His behavior during and after that game was inexcusable, and for him to win it all yet again after that will leave a really bad taste in my mouth. Off the top of my head I genuinely can't recall another QB, let alone an absolute top tier star of a QB, behaving like that ever. It was giving Ron Artest vibes.

  4. There are only two possible reasons for this. Historically bad luck with key defensive injuries, or coaching.

     

    The answer could honestly be both of them. Luck evens out over a long enough time frame, but so many other things also change during that time frame that it might not be enough to get over our current Division Round hump, let alone win a Super Bowl.

     

    First priority is obviously managing our cap situation. Then I think that if by the trade deadline we are in contention for the #1 seed, I think we have to go all out in trying to get it. Sell the farm and take the risk. It's unfortunately obvious at this point that Beane could have been significantly more aggressive this past year at the deadline and acquired at least another receiver, and while that wouldn't have resolved our defensive woes, it's entirely possible it would have been enough to overcome them. If we had grabbed DHop or maybe even Henry, I think it's fair to say that we probably wouldn't have been screaming about dudes dropping balls the entire second half of the season.

     

    It's so damn frustrating to feel like between ownership, coaching, and player management there is always some aspect of this organization holding back and not willing to go balls to the wall to do absolutely ***** everything possible to win a championship. I can only hope that the pain and disappointment of this year has turned those gears a little bit more for Beane and McDermott.

  5. At this point in my life, things like this are the biggest reason why devastating playoff losses really bum me out and leave me in a rough headspace for a few days. So many fans who have been waiting decades just to get one championship who won't be around when it does finally happen.

     

    Very much hope the NFC wins it all this year, particularly the Lions. If not them, it's been thirty years since the 49ers won it, so even that would give some solace to a good chunk of the fanbase who wasn't around in the mid 90s.

    If he had been injured, we would know about it by now.

     

    He had a disappointing end to the season, and dropped that 1 huge bomb in the Chiefs game, but I don't think he "quit."  That's kind of ridiculous.  

     

    Is he getting older? Yes.  Is that going to have a serious impact on his game next year and beyond?

     

    I don't know.  Have to see.  Glad he's still here.


    Having said that, if he could be packaged in a blockbuster deal that brought real quality back, I'd definitely consider it seriously.

     

     

    I agree. I'm not opposed to trading him, although most everyone says it's impossible due to his cap impact. Not sure if there's any way to work around that, but I do believe he's replaceable for the right price.

    People do realize Brady was at LSU one year right? Note even a full year. With possibly one of the most talented football rosters in college football history. I would not place too much weight on connecting LSU and Brady. Brady was well like and an enthusiastic coach that got his players to play. But that was not his offense at LSU. 

    On the flip side, he definitely knows what it's like to have elite talent at the WR position.

     

    Gabe is going to be gone, so they're going to have to do something.
