  1. If having a top notch, Super Bowl caliber team means that I'm much less interested in the draft, I'll gladly take it. It got real tiring having an awful-to-mediocre team then watching them pick guys like Mike Williams, Donte Whitner, and Marcel Dareus with high selections Let's not do that again for a long long time
  2. Where can I go to place all my earthly possessions, income, and the souls of my children on the over???
  3. I happen to enjoy that we scored 500 points last year. Really don't care that much how many we gave up
  4. This is a ridiculous assertion. We've had a top defense until last year when some injuries and opt-outs hurt a lot more than any draft or FA misses did. And frankly, I'm much happier that they have a top offense and a middling defense vs having a top defense and a middling offense It's a much stronger and sustainable brand of football. Would you prefer that we bring another GM in to make these decisions??? Again - ridiculous
  5. Good for Cleveland I wouldn't touch that guy with a 39 1/2 foot pole
  6. Are they having some kind of March 18th promotion on Chippewa that they need some stiff to hold down one end of the bar?
  7. yes, let's please get back on the cycle of overpaying the most replaceable position in football. Should we also pursue Todd Gurley? Melvin Gordon? Mark Ingram? David Johnson?
  8. 1981 playoffs - watching that wild back & forth game against the Jets
  9. Fortunately, we have an annual player draft that rightly or wrongly, DOES reward the worst teams The Compensatory pick system is working EXACTLY as intended. There was no intent around good or bad teams. Bad teams should draft better Bad teams should retain their talent where appropriate Good teams should make the right decisions on what talent to retain and at what cost. If bad teams choose to sign those free agents and have less of a chance of getting compensatory picks, then the system is working This isn't welfare, it's warfare. There's plenty of room in the league for owners like Mike Brown, but they aren't going to be winning titles
  10. This is just an inane statement. Of course everyone wants the team to be better and take the next step toward a SB. But making a "raising the bar" proclamation accomplishes nothing. Absolutely nothing Should Beane and McDermott be on edge if we "only" go 11-5 next year and just win one playoff game instead of two? Will she start screaming for organizational realignment and start trimming back on scouting and coaching staff? SMFH Kim Pegula - the best thing you can do is stay out of the way. That includes public statements on team expectations.
  11. Living in the Harrisburg area, there are more stories of Shady's absolute lack of respect for other human beings than you can shake a stick at. I am sure becoming an irrelevant ex-athlete will only improve that
  12. Ties are the best. They force coaches into interesting logic/strategy in OT that they actually have to think about sometimes. Seeing them fail can be fun (or excruciating, like McDermott's 2017 Snow Game brain cramp) Impact on standings is fun They happen so rarely that they're interesting and unique Frankly, I miss ties in hockey too, and the changes to OT and adding shootouts didn't really move the needle in that sport either More gimmicks in football would be unnecessary
  13. Barkley is eminently replaceable The trouble is that we don't have the $$ this offseason to find someone that much better. Relying on Davis Webb or Jake Fromm as #2 is probably not a great strategy either
  14. I'm not sure they got much either... Wentz is a basket case
  15. Give Levi the 2nd round tender. He's been a good to above average player who's totally out-performed his original undrafted status At the very worst, he's quality depth for us in the years to come, and the kind of guy that has a really low downside to keeping around
  16. I remember a time when "Marty-ball" would have been an improvement on whatever we trotted out during the Dick Jauron tenure "It's hard to score points in the NFL"
  17. I'm lukewarm at best for anything beyond 1 year @ $5M But good grief, if we gave Josh Norman $6M for this past year, and left Trent Murphy on the bench for $9M, I can see the argument for wanting even the slowly rotting overrated corpse of JJ Watt
  18. It's funny because QB is actually becoming somewhat of a "fungible" position. There are a lot of excellent ones out there, and more coming out every year that look really good right out of the gate, or at least very soon afterwards. So that makes me wonder why any team would trade for anything less than the best. Any team that trades for Derek Carr deserves what they get. He's eminently replaceable
  19. We will be in prime time one way or another for Week 1. If not Thurs night, then Sunday or Monday night. Book it now
  20. This hire is maybe great for 1970 when the goal was to matriculate the ball down the field and toughness actually counted for something when you could head slap, horse collar, clothesline tackle and all the sh*t that used to be macho and fun to watch Maybe someone in Detroit has heard that it's OK to pass the ball too and that the top teams in the league are really good at it. Might be good to have a head coach that realizes that too
  21. Sorry man - disagree with you too. Everyone's been trying to key in our passing game all year and few have slowed it down, much less stopped it. There's little reason to go away from our obvious strength, especially with the way that rules are these days. Let next year work itself out. I'm concentrating on winning on Sunday. And the best way to do that is let Josh sling the rock all over the frigging field
  22. I'm sorry man, but I couldn't disagree more. We have a top 5 offense, with a crazy effective passing attack. But we should draft an RB in Round 1 so we can "fix" the running game? And maybe have an 18th ranked offense so we can play Jauron-ball? SMH
  23. I think that the answer to this question depends a lot on Mahomes' availability for the game. If he's playing and close to full strength, strangely enough we might be running more - say 1/3 of the time. We are probably trying to control the clock more and not expose our defense too much. If it's Chad Freaking Henne at QB, then I say bombs away
