Okay, I absolutely blame Dareus for his missed 4 games. It's irresponsible for the contract he just signed. I'm not going to dump on him for getting hurt. I do believe that his time off and conditioning could have led to the strain, but none of us can possibly know that. My biggest thought is, for the money he makes, we could be 4-2, 5-2 without him. At what point, does he work his way off this team and a non-necessity? I know he's a great player and I know we have a hole with Kyle retiring eventually. But is this a system where we can pay someone 5-7 mil and spend the other 10 elsewhere? I feel the same way about Sammy. I love the guy, but the Pats game and winning as many as 5 in a row possibly makes me think we could get some "B" WR that play every game and put the money elsewhere. These are not personal feelings about these guys, but more of a reality of the situation.

Dareus pissed me off for the suspension. It's now 6 weeks and his lack of conditioning is affecting him now. At what point does he start proving we don't need him? If we go 5-2, does that become a real conversation

This is the sINgle, most origINile idea on this board? How did you come up with it? I Need to create and aware for such INgenuity.

This, because reasons and science. Maybe not the field goal.

Raiders game is huge. Not sure about the Bengals as they are slipping. But I see the Raiders and the team this year to win their division or the wild card

That's not fair. You took the best possible avatar photo, so what choice did I have?

Right here boss. We finish 10-6, I'm more than happy to change my tag name. Hell, I'll let someone else pick it. However, it's 5 games and we've shown we can also play like the worst team in the league. We can easily still finish at 8-8. How quickly we forget our 5-2 starts that still ended in futility. Regardless, what's thrilling about this post is the superiority without backing. You are gloating after 5 games? I think you forget two things: 1 - We are the losingist franchise in all of sports (playoff drought) until proven otherwise. We've been teased before and I'm actually really impressed with the "one game at a time" attitude that most posters are keeping to. Not too hyped, not too down. 2 - Everyone on here is a fan and want what's best for the team. Everyone who wants to FireRex, draft a QB, trade Sammy all want the same thing; a winning team. We are allowed to have different opinions. So, if this is how you get your jollies, more power to you. But I'll make you a bet. We make the playoffs, you can pick my screen name. We don't, I pick yours. Deal?

And you sir, win post of the day!

Kaep just restructured his deal so that he doesn't have the injury clause. This was apparently the biggest reason he wasn't playing. Similar to the RG3 situation. I don't like the spark this could provide.

Um, excuse me? Do you mean to tell me that the team doesn't know when we get excited or pissed off on here? That TT doesn't think of me when dropping back? I don't know where you get off, but keep your crazy to yourself sir!

I'm trying. I actually kinda enjoyed our win yesterday. I'm looking forward to going to the game Sunday. Which means Kaep will run for 150 and throw for 400.....

After those first two games, I thought I was being generous It was dark times man!!! 😁

I think I'm up to 10-6

Can I be in your fantasy league next year? 😀

Wow. I really wanted him two years ago. I think he's done a great job for years and hope he gets another chance

I'm trying to ration myself on the Lorax love. I've said in other threads that he's my favorite story on defense. I just love how he plays. Just trying to spread the love.

I'll see your three and raise your Watkins, Dareus, and Karlos. All in good fun

It's not 27 million. It's 17 plus a 10 signing bonus. That works out to a 19.5 mil cap hit. That's more than doable. Again, the deal was genius.

This isn't crazy to me. I'd happily pay him with the Gilmore money. I think Chicago would listen too. He's 26 but does have some injury concerns. It won't happen, because reasons. But it's not a bad idea.

Does everyone get together before every home game? I'll be there this Sunday and was thinking about stopping by, time permitting.

I just want to say that I am not taking the torch. I know that everyone loved his recaps and was something I looked forward too. They were hardly opinionated to any one extreme and he kept it objective. With that, it takes some time and thought to write these things out, and he said he wanted to take some time for himself. I'm only doing it because I thought it was a nice thing to have after games and I could use some objective thinking. It's a struggle 😀 With that, these are his recaps and always will be. I hope he decides to do them again someday. Until then, hopefully I, or anyone else who wants to try, doesn't mess them up too badly.

I think that happened again the Pats. Today was a matter of a good defensive scheme. Throwing for over 30 times last week and spreading it around was quite the sight.

Ask Keenum

You know what TT isn't doing? Losing games. He's doing what needs to be done and has had quite a few plays where his legs extended drives or created TD's. It's different, but it's the best we have and their isn't any grass on the other side of the fence.
