I wanted T-Mac, we got T-Mac Am I playing this game right?

I really want Styles and think he could be available there. He seems like a good all around LB and is a tackling machine. I feel like he's an instant upgrade an would be by far the best LB on the team.

BPV

Bain is a Top 10 pick.

If you gonna go helmet to helmet you make it worth it and fold his face mask in. Simmons played lights out on special teams he might get a better look next year

As much as that sounds wonderful our only hope is idzick takes a leap and Canales hands it over

Will be interesting to see how we handle this. Historically off-the-ball LBs (and TEs and Ss) haven't been seen as first round talents. You spend first rounders on CBs, OT, QB, WR, DE and DT.

Pass rusher

Every year hes gotten better not as fast as I would have liked but hes gotten better. Im picking up the 5th with next year being his last chance to become alot more consistent. If he doesn't prove hes worth an extension im either trading him or hes an expensive backup for a year

He's an easy way to boil it down. Did you think he was going to march us down the field at the end of the game for the FG to tie it up?

He's lost 4 out of the last 5 games, my dude. No time for sympathy in the NFL. This is year 3 for him. He hasn't produced, again.

We lost 4 of our lost 5 games. It's time to move on from the Bryce Young error and give Canales an NFL QB to run his playbook with.

Styles will probably go top 15. I'm looking at CJ Allen

Throughout the season I've flipped between 3-5. I've never felt he's above average. I can't remember where he sat statistically without looking it up, and my morning coffee hasn't kicked in enough yet for me to care too much. But he feels like a QB destined to be about 20-25th best starter across a season. Someone who is okay, but you'll never get somewhere as a franchise with him back there. To my mind he has fight in him and does make some good plays in critical drives. But he also makes a lot of bad throws that the good can't compensate for. I'm currently between 4-5. He's still missing reads, open throws and ball placement can be very inconsistent at times. And we're three years in now. Some throws he made last night were great, that TD pass was spot on and I think that's what causes a lot of discourse here. He has flashes of great mixed in with a lot of poor-average play. It's some bipolar QB play. It may be 3-4 years down the line he has that one great season in his career, but how long do you hang onto him for hoping that happens? Anyway, that's enough tired rambling from me. Peace to all of you, we go again next season. Keep Pounding!

PROUD OF THIS TEAM

He just got fired because of Tua. Why would he want to go coach mini Tua?

Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15

I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen, they'll eventually cut ties. Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far. I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025) but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions) It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling). Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol.

Raiders receive: 19th overall Xavier Legette Panthers receive: Maxx Crosby 3rd rounder

The Panthers put up a good fight so I am not mad. See you guys around draft season.

JUST missed it

It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

Bryce Boetcher

Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
