Comp picks only come in to play if you have a net loss in free agency, we are not going to have a net loss so I'm good with it. KB was absolutely terrible and deserves the shame of getting cut in the middle of the season.

If this were the case, the name would have to be McBovineDermatology and that is just not as catchy. Come to think of it, the first nickname was just as ridiculous.

Giving that guy attention is not the move. If you don't like Schopp, best thing is to not talk about him and don't listen to his show.

There is one thing you have to say about Allen: you don't feel like the game is over when we are behind. I remember being 6 points behind in the 4th quarter of a game last year and KNOWING we had no chance of picking up a TD to win. We could be down by over a touchdown with under 5 minutes to play and between our D and Allen I now have confidence we have a shot of coming back. That means a lot to me.

Yes! Darr will bring his entire playbook, which consists of a single page:

Wake me up to use this playoff simulator what we don't have a losing record. I'll save everyone the time: we lose to the Patriots and we're out unless the Broncos, Ravens and Titans all fall apart. We lose any game before then and you can flush every scenario down the toilet because we're not beating the Patriots.

He's a kid with a "rivalry" mentality trying to hype himself up. He doesn't understand the business side of this, or he is willfully ignoring it.

They don't care about your tailgating experience, they don't profit from it enough and the antics quite frankly make the fanbase look boorish. A new stadium downtown with a retractable roof allows them to hold more events (concerts) and would have a net positive effect on the economy. Reduced tailgating space means people would be funneled into the bars/restaurants in the area. Expect this to be the route they go with.

I bring them both back and play them sparingly

At 8-8 we would need the Titans and Ravens to fall apart. Playoffs not happening.

This is such a passive-aggressive beta move

I believe this is correct.

I wonder about the financial ramifications of this. How much did the league lose? What about all the fans who booked tickets to go see the game and now have to cancel travel and hotel plans?

Starting Barkley is the type of short-sighted thinking that has kept us down in the dregs of the league for years. Embrace the suck and get better, that is the only way we will ever wind up with a franchise QB.

I imagine it feels akin to dropping a clothes iron on your gonads. Probably not the best feeling.

We need an actual QB coach. I have zero confidence in the one we have now. The only saving grace is that Daboll is supposedly investing a lot of time in Josh

We need a RT. You don't really draft those in the 1st. I'd draft WR, OT, C, OG in that order.

? One of my best friends did the same thing and has been miserable about it all season.

Deal, done.

Nope. The one saving grace of this season will be getting our future franchise QB some experience. We aren't winning out the rest of the season, we are 100% missing the playoffs. The only positive we can get from this season is developing young talent. Handing the offense off to a backup QB with no chance of being a long-term starter is ridiculous.

Ridiculous. This season on O is 100% about Allen getting as many reps as possible. Starting Barkley in lieu of Allen gives us yet another losing season with no upside.

He must have messed up thousands of people's fantasy football teams. As someone who no longer plays fantasy football, I find this hilarious.

He will be a solid #3. We still need a #1 who can ball out and a reliable guy with speed.

I like him as a backup, Cut Peterman and keep Barkley and Anderson while Allen starts. We can jettison Anderson in the offseason and just keep Barkley and Allen next year.

Dawkins/Teller should be set for the next 8 years on the left side of the O-line. Unfortunately we need starters at the other 3 positions.
