Sadly IMO he's done for 2026.

Looks like Evero is not going anywhere. The Raiders have narrowed down their search to two offensive coordinators.

I expect us to be very active in Free Agency and will address most of our positions of need there. Doing so gives us the opportunity to draft BPA. I do believe we will be in the position to get a solid ILB at 19.

This would be my take. If we could extend him through 27 or 28 it would help us a lot. I would also like to see more of Thorton. I know he's on IR but he has such a good training camp I can only believe he's only going to get better.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here. He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon. Good luck to him.

I am so happy the egotistic Payton tried to go for it on 4th and 1 when they had a chance to go up 10 zip.

I'd like to see us get an edge and an ILB through free agency and address our other needs through the draft. Addressing Edge through the draft will put us most likely having 2 or 3 years before that player makes an impact. We already have two of those players on the team. ILB we really need experience and a stud. Having a rookie be the man in the middle would be tough. Even Luke had a rough start in his rookie season.

There are several other edge rushers available in Free Agency but I think the two players that could make a difference are Crosby and Hendrickson. Crosby isn't a Free Agent and would required a pretty hefty price tag including several picks. One site I saw said #19 a 2027 2nd round and some other picks. IMO that's too expensive. Hendrickson is a Free Agent and maybe due to his age and recent injury he might not command the 25 million but that's only an opinion. So, our choices are Trade for Crosby (Not a good move) Hendrickson and pay big bucks, Draft an Edge (our 3 one in 2 drafts), or Find a 2nd tier Free Agent. The way Morgan operates I believe we will address every position of need through free agency and go BPA at 19.

This is what I have been saying. We need that QB for the defense. Someone who can diagnose the offense before the ball is snapped. Luke was one of a kind but having a stud QB on defense in the middle will improve our defense greatly.

I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running. This of course reminded me of Luke. I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft Thoughts?

Seeing the comments that Beane was kissing butt to ownership this would not surprise me. Beane started out well but IMO he's really putting the Bills in the same boat he and Gettleman put Cam. Their decisions really had an impact on Cam's future. You have a generational QB and can't get over the hump and IMO it was lack of talent and not lack of on field leadership.

And we stole him from Seattle for a draft pick that didn't even make the team.

Johnson has an ego problem and it bit him in the ass. You take the points on those drives and you in a position to win the game. i was glad to see them drop out of the playoffs. Caleb has saved his ass so many times this past season it isn't even funny.

I think this would be a good move. I remember us saying the same thing about Peppers and many thought he was done but he went to GB and Chicago and continued to have success and came back home and still played at a high level. I think guys with great technique can play well past 30. If I had to choose between trading for Crosby and what we would have to give up to get him and signing Trey. I would go after Hendrickson.

I believe we are going to make big splashes for a top tier edge and linebacker and possible a TE. This will pretty much put us in a position to draft BPA. You should always address the offensive line especially with BY as our QB. We have to have a top tier offensive line with him at QB.

His best season with us was when we had Riddick. He had a great season with the arrival of Carter. He's a #2 edge. On his own he really isn't a factor. When we traded CMC it made no sense to not trade him. Had we made that trade we could have used those picks to BY and we would have had our #1 pick in 2024. Missing that trade with the Rams really screwed us.

IMO this is spot on. I don't see any player that we let walk that will make us worse if we let him go.

From what I have seen I would love to have him. Our best defenses have always had a stud in the middle of our defense. We've actually been pretty luck in our history. Mills, Morgan, Beason and Luke. IMO MLB should be our priority. I think our defense would be pretty good if we can shore up the 2nd level.

You're probably right but no one knows how the draft will fall out. Can't hurt to have him as our #1 prospect.

I did a mock draft and I believe someone else did and Styles was available at 19. We'll have to see how this plays out. Not out of the question though.

i did a mock draft and Beck was available in round 4 which I took. So maybe it's possible. If he leads Miami to a national championship his stock will rise.

I said it earlier, our history shows our best defenses have had a great MLB. We have to have a QB on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm not making excuses. Coker is an amazing player, and we are nowhere near the playoffs without him. My point is that not every bad thing that happens on the offensive side of the ball is Bryce Young's fault.

The interception was on Coker if you ask me. I feel he hesitated a bit on the route. The fourth down failures are just as much on Canales as Young.

The failed 4th down play early in the game was a terrible call by Canales. He took us down and scored the go-ahead TD with 2 plus minutes on the clock. The pass to Coker was pinpoint and an amazing pass. I never said the defense didn't play well but, you can't expect Young to deliver every time. He had 32 seconds starting with a false start so we're already behind the eight ball. The biggest key our defense not stopping them was JC Horn out of the lineup. While I agree we could provide some serious competition at the QB position. I am not going to sit here and make the loss all about Bryce Young. You can hang your hat on it all you want but he wasn't the reason we didn't win the game.
