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.

I think they took the guards off this season and just played everyone they thought could amount to something and let the players prove them right or wrong. We have some young WRs that might turn out to be ok and we've been churning the roster at that position like crazy. They have been rotating guys through OL, due to injuries and one moron who retired in the middle of a game they have been rotating players through at CB and MLB. Next year will be better, but I don't expect more than 5 wins this season.

This isn't a tank, it's ineptitude. I don't think they expected to get back into the playoffs this year, but they are learning that their "team-first" approach isn't working at all.

My point being that columnists don't really need press credentials.

Question, when did either of them actually prove that they deserved free entrance to games? I don't recall either of them citing actual sources. They write columns, why should they be entitled to access to the players and press conferences when all they do is write "gotcha" stories with negative takes. They can write bitter columns just watching the games like the rest of us.

I'd like to offer an objective opinion on this, but I dislike Sully and Bucky to such an extent that I find it hard to 1-believe what they are saying is credible 2- have any sympathy for their situations.

I want Allen to end the season with a completion percentage over 55 and more touchdowns than interceptions. I want Edmunds to refine his instincts and not get put in bad positions by head fakes and I want Zay Jones to continue developing into a solid #2.

Is this a sentence?

This week was the first game in years I didn't even bother to watch on replay. Focusing on college football this year.

We need a complete overhaul of the Offense. It's not gonna get done in a single offseason. LG, C, RG, RT, RB1 (Yes Shady is done), WR1, WR2. We better REALLY go after Oline & WRs in the offseason, because this franchise is going DT/DE with the first pick. To those saying Beane can't draft, I disagree. I think he's fine in the early rounds, which is par for the course. He has had one year at the helm and picked up some good young talent. I don't like his picks in the later rounds or his return on trades, but here's hoping experience fixes that for him.

It's funny that in a season where we brought in NO offensive line or WR help, people think we expected to be any good on offense.This was a tank year from the get-go and no one at the top is surprised we're playing poorly. No one is getting fired for this firesale of a season because they were expecting exactly this.

This board has turned into a place I avoid for the most part now. In years past we'd at least get info on the team, now it seems like it's just a place for people to come and cry.

Even though I was against it, if this year was about Josh learning, we should have started him week 1. As soon as he got injured this season took a step back for me. Now we're losing games and not even getting anything positive out of it.

Somebody needs a hug. The roster has been mismanaged badly. But Beane is a decent talent evaluator and is a first-time GM, there will be mistakes!

Me too

we will win 5+ games and pick around 7-9

Possible playing time means he's a backup. The worst thing they could do for Josh at this point is pull him. He's gonna have to sink or swim.

This was discussed multiple times on this board. They could have just 5th year optioned him and then franchised him 2x to avoid this.

I feel no empathy for those who make my ignore list!

awesome!

Bell's running style is predicated on patience and waiting for his awesome O-line to open up holes for him to run through. Patience with our O-line would just result in a wave of defenders swarming him for a 4 yard loss.
