Playoff seeding =/= deserving. A 7-9 team made the playoffs just a couple of years ago. They were not deserving. But it was how the playoff seeding works.

Sure, I have no problem cutting him slack. I was fine with signing him at the time and i’m not going to pretend I didn’t like it now. My only thing is - he is hurting the team by being on the field. When he is on the field, our defense has 10 players vs the offenses 11. So yeah, cut him some slack, but let’s put him on a shelf until next year - when hopefully he will be playing better.

Sorry? I don’t if this is serious?

That was 100% the right decision. Those timeouts got his offense the ball back, with a chance to go and win the game with a field goal. You would have had him NOT give his team the ball back with a chance to win it? They only had to get a measly 21 yards for a field goal try!

It was a disaster because he didn’t make the playoffs in year ONE? I guess we have to agree to disagree on this one.

He kinda did. Wilson went from 16 TD's and 11 INT's last season (without Payton), to 26 TD's and 8 INT's this year (with Payton). That's a 75% increase in TD's and a 27% decrease in INT's. I am impressed with the job Payton has done. The Broncos are worlds better than they were under Hackett last season.

Maybe he has been doing it in private all year and he reached a boiling point.

I couldn't disagree with you more. The game against SD may have been one of his worst yet. Von Miller has played 243 snaps for the season. In those 243 snaps, he has 3 tackles. Three. His missed tackle percentage is 40%. He is hitting the QB, on average, once every 56 pass rush attempts. To put that into perspective, in Aaron Maybin's last year in the NFL, he hit the QB once every 51 pass rush attempts.

I know it won’t happen, but I wish they would IR Von.

Though I agree we should keep McD, this part kinda makes the point of the thread moot, in my opinion. Winning multiple Super Bowls buys you patience.

I tend to agree. I was actually pretty shocked by their posts.

Here is that clip:

Visited the Patriots forum and they are pretty confident. They say the Patriots have had a late season resurgence with Zappe at QB and look like a different team, winning 2 of their last 3 games.

You sure this happened? Because it's illegal under NFL rules. The Falcons even lost a draft pick for doing it... https://www.nfl.com/news/atlanta-falcons-lose-2016-pick-for-pumping-fake-noise-0ap3000000482500

Damar is better at coverage than Rapp. Without a doubt, in my opinion. But Rapp is wayyyy better at tackling and aggressiveness. The number of times Damar missed a tackle in the hole last year was enough to make me not want him on the team anymore. He was so so so bad on many of the angles. Here are a few reminders:

Didn't they open his 21 day window about 3 weeks ago? They're going to have to do something. If they don't activate him, he will be gone for the season.

Multiple Chargers coaches/personnel said "Go Win it". Love it.

I'm impressed by Norman on the sidelines.

Ravens looked great last night. Hopefully they do the same to Miami.

Worth every draft pick the 49ers gave up for him.

I would honestly just make him inactive. I know we are paying a lot, but Jonathan is the better player right now.

He is asking why we care what the Ravens do in Week 18. You probably want them to beat the Steelers to give them an 8th loss, in case we lose another game. z

The kid just understood the rivalry.

Thank you for putting me in my place. Hope you feel better.

What I mean is that if the Ravens lose tonight and win next week, the Browns can still win the division in Week 18.
