Does Herbert take the torch from Ryan yet?

What a difference a coach makes

He may have been trying to pin them in since coverage team was much closer

Zay Jones got mauled on that 2pt

That's the prize for moral victories. Jets and Lawrence would have been interesting to see.

That and the NFL wasn't going to let a corporate icon like Manning go 1-3 in SBs and go out on a loss.

We got a first hand look watching Cam's career and body get obliterated from the punishment he took playing his style of QB and the NFL letting it happen. Lamar is a smaller version of Cam. It's not hate. It's reality concerning the way he plays QB. Plus it's likely a fully guaranteed contract. 5 year 250 mil contract let's say, his career ends on some fluke injury 3 weeks into his first season, that's 50m a year on the books you can't get around. That's a franchise breaker for the next 5 years.

If you look back at the Cowboys offensive line when they were turning out fantasy RB juggernauts every year, they were always investing in their OL. When they stopped making it a priority, it started faltering. OL is the position I think you have to constantly address every year. 5 starters, 4 backups are the usual roster makeup. You have to always keep investing if you want to keep the line strong. Injuries are going to happen, sometimes multiples. Young, talented depth growing behind experienced starters is a very good thing.

That's why I'm always a fan of taking a promising guard late in the draft. It's one of the easier positions to transition to the NFL and you can never have enough interior line depth.

CMC wanted out of Carolina. He was done here. This team has been led by incompetence for years, starting with the owner(s). We got more for him than we would have this offseason. Nobody is really happy about how things played out with CMC from his usage to the contract, to Matt Rhule's limp dick offense over the past 3 years. I can only hope the trade benefits us by showing Tepper what can be done with an offensive minded HC and some creative playcalling.

Depth is a hard thing to have in the NFL given the 53 man roster. Our OL held together better than any other in the league or close to it for the majority of the season. We need some pieces for sure, but some of those may actually be here. Rhule was so bad at evaluating talent, it's hard to know exactly what we have until we get into this offseason.

He did with a 7-9 record. If you don't have a winning record, I wouldn't consider it really "winning" the division.

He's could be more focused on pointy elbows than coaching at this point. Not that I would blame him.

It doesn't matter if they're top 5 pick QBs or not. It's about being in the best position available to bring the right players to your team. You think Texans fans are cheering their heads off because they won today, or are they lamenting the fact that they now have the 2nd choice of QBs? The win matters only in the fact that it can hurt you overall. Realizing that moral victories don't help the franchise doesn't make you less of a fan. It just means you recognize that a single win is can be the difference between drafting Peyton Manning vs Ryan Leaf.

Bet the Jets are glad Darnold won that 2nd game and they ended up with Wilson instead of Lawrence. Moral victories hurt the team in the long run.

Winning when it matters always matters.

Should have been a penalty on Lawrence there for the non kneel down.

Got a 12:30 tee time tomorrow. Season is done except for a moral victory that nobody will remember. Would rather enjoy 18, bbq and bourbon with the boys.

Harbaugh works in college because after 4 years, players are moving on to the NFL. The comments from the players when he left the 9ers are a little concerning IF you're looking to look up players long term.

^^^^ this right here.

That's the question. Unless we build around Darnold and hope Corral develops, a rookie QB is likely into year 2 before making significant growth. That's why most of the people saying we should have taken the trade are saying 2 years or longer. We lack a HC, OC, DC, and QB. That's a unicorn offseason to get all that right in one year and make a playoff run.

Every bit of it from scratch. I even buy the whole rib roast and butcher myself. Some small ribeyes and then of course the 48 Oz bone in. I will say the fat salt is an amazing flavor bomb that just makes the whole thing.

Easy. Salt crusted ribeye with rosemary butter. Flat iron steak with a bourbon jus Slow smoked beef ribs with a dried chili and coffee rub Med rare filet finished with roasted bone marrow and fat salt

You must have had a lot of piss poor cooked steaks from Golden Corral.

He strikes me as the type of guy that puts no salt on his steak. Can't have a guy like that in the locker room.
