we're literally 1 game into the season bigkat needs to knock this poo off

this thread would be like making a thread after trading Jaycee Horn for a 4th after he misses this season and then he has 1 game with his new team where he has a couple picks and everyone is whining and complaining about giving him away for nothing. Swift was always talented but his health is the issue, it was always something with him where even if he was playing he was banged up and limited and couldn't handle a full load. Let's see how he holds up.

truer words have never been spoken

He dominated in his era and would dominate in any era. One of the most underrated WRs ever. Put up the 8th most career receiving yards (and probably could've gotten to top 3 if he wanted to keep playing) and that was despite mostly having pretty bad QB play and always playing in a run first offense focused more on D and ball control to win games. It's a joke that he wasn't first ballot HoF

He’s not a great player but not nearly as bad as the consensus here thinks he is…

so at least 3 more games without both, f*ckkkkkkkk

when is Corbett eligible to return? Are we going to be down both our starting Gs for the next 4 weeks? Damn that would suck but at least Zavala looks legit.

I recall a really cool article on him and liking him a lot but don't remember any of the details. Not much as far as expectations coming off those injuries and signing at this point in the season but would be cool.

I mean they aren't really comparable at all lol Bates got like 3x as much guaranteed and twice as much per year as Bell, wasn't like we chose 1 over the other, we were never in the market for a top paid safety

Monday at home, fug the aints

And that would 100% do it, and quickly too. Owners would cave so fast as even a week of lost profits due to a full on players strike would probably wipe out a significant amount of the cost savings for using turf over grass. NFLPA should get serious about this, all talk so far.

Watching in person was tougher to tell but I also thought Ickey looked way better than he did in the preseason, more like he looked last year. OL was mostly very solid, the issue was playcalling, wideouts not getting open, rookie QB and becoming predictable playing from behind (and with bad field position for various reasons *refs*)

I’d support a player strike to go back to all grass

Yep 100%. Also Colts and Aints each only getting 1 out of their HOF QBs is pathetic to me. The head coaches and supporting casts those 3 QBs had throughout their careers was just a joke overall.

Allen and Burrow are much closer to each other in that 2nd tier than either is to Mahomes. That has been crystal clear to me for several years now.

There are 53 players on a team along with a coaching staff of several dozen, you’re gonna put team success all on the shoulders of 1 single player who was literally voted the best player in the entire league 4 times? Lol. And before you bring up regular season vs playoffs take a peak at Rodgers’ career playoff passer rating vs Brady’s. Hint: 1 is significantly higher than the other and it’s not the guy most would expect. Again, he has more than earned his arrogance. You don’t have to like him but he’s one of the best NFL players of all time period.

Yeah they are legit but we can’t completely dismiss the O concerns especially after only putting up 10 on a bad Falcons d

Wow Josh Allen sucks ass. And Burrow. Is Mahomes the only 100% legit elite franchise QB in the league? (yes I know week 1 overreactions)

Lol he hardly failed with GB… that team let him down plenty, dude has 4 MVPs to his name, more than “goat” Brady. Hate him all you want but frankly he’s earned his arrogance. The injury sucks but that’s football

Damn that sucks ass for Rodgers.

yeah I'm thinking of Bengals fans recently. For years they sucked and always knew it and it was just business as usual. Then they get Burrow and make the Super Bowl beating the Chiefs in the process and expectations/hopes are as high as possible. Now a loss like today for them and even in the playoffs last year kill them even though they should be used to it. Being really good but not winning it all is a bit of a curse. I still take that every fuging day over being irrelevant but it draws you in to care more so losing hurts much more.

Nope. Used to borderline obsess over it and get upset if I missed a single snap in any game and especially when we lost. Also used to know the roster like the back of my hand, from starters to practice squad. Now I still follow really closely relative to most casual fans but we have players on the team I don't know and I have no issue missing some plays and or games later in the year when we have sucked early and are out of the playoffs. Even back in 2016 when we sucked I watched pretty much every snap of every game. Bryce/the new staff have given me new hope but still nowhere near to being back to how much I cared back in like 2019 and prior. Covid and the team sucking along with getting older and just having other more important things in my life were probably all factors, and if we do get really good again ever I will get more into it, but probably never like I was before. I did go to the Falcons game today which was my first game since 2018 and despite the sh*tshow today I enjoyed watching the team live again.

yep. Also 6-2 in 2018 I believe then the Steelers game and the season went off the rails. And 1-3 in 2013 looking completely finished with Rivera likely to be fired but we rattle off 11 wins of the next 12 to finish the season. 1 game in we don't know anything about this NFL season, that goes for the Chiefs, Bengals, etc. who lost their first games.

I'm not a fan of Fitts, he should definitely be on the hot seat after this season if it doesn't go well. But I'd give him at least the start of 2024. Rhule tainted his start and Bryce/Reich paired with him deserve more than 1 year.

still 10-7, it's a marathon not a sprint. It'll take another month+ before I change my thoughts on that, no matter how bad we may look the next few games.
