Mr. Scot

FYI: Bailey Zappe in for new England

Guess Murray didn't play enough Madden this week. First score last week was a defensive score too Frankie Luvu is one of our few bright spots..

They didn't wanna be predictable? ... I got nothin'

Two penalties... both on us...

Damn, Foreman got his ass kicked trying to block

Nice pass under pressure...

Went for it on 4th and 1 in our own territory... Ran a predictable play and didn't get the first... Just a few plays later, the Cardinals are at the 10... Get it back only to go three and out... And Jeremy Chinn got hurt... Cool that Burns saved the points (arguably with an assist from Kliff Kingsbury) but this is not exactly a great start.

Don't agree, but if that's true, it's not fair to judge him without his having real power.

Fitterer was picked by Tepper and Rhule. Morgan was picked by Fitterer. I've said before Rhule saving us from Tepper picking the GM might be the one positive legacy he leaves behind.

I think Fitterer has done some good things, but either way I'm gonna trust him and Morgan over anybody hand picked by David Tepper.

Would you want to count on the Panthers doing a better job of roster building than the Ravens?

We had this discussion with Deshaun Watson. What's the point of acquiring him if you trade away your ability to build around him? Beyond that though, regular season Jackson has been amazing since he was s rookie. Playoff Jackson...not so much. I'd need to see improvement from playoff Jackson before I'd be ready to make any deal.

Yeah, just saw Pickett go in.

Meanwhile... And this was an absolutely perfect response...

"Do you know what Homo Sapiens Sapiens actually means, its literal translation? Man, wise wise. Think about that. We named ourselves doubly wise. Hubris, arrogance...humans are a blight. We should all be eradicated." - Henry Grace

Pretty much. Again, thinks like a fan...

Because the alternative is having faith in David Tepper.

I think the second that happens, we all go into "please in the name of all that's good and right and holy don't screw this up" mode.

Pretty much... Despite the talk, we've never really been in rebuild mode or even build mode, for that matter. We've spent the vast majority of our time in either "win now' mode or "save my ass" mode. They should have changed their slogan to "Rome wasn't built in a day...but we're damn sure gonna try!"

Define “Star QB” I imagine a lot of people’s definitions would be a Josh Allen type that’s an amazing athletic specimen. But as much as I know people go apesh-t when someone says this, you don’t have to have that to win. What you do need is a guy who can read a defense, process what he sees quickly and throw an accurate pass. If he’s also a great athlete, cool. If he’s not, it’s no big deal.

I am too, but I don’t think he’s ready to be a head coach. Definitely don’t think Kellen Moore is.

Definitely. But will he?

My preferred candidates would be guys like like Rich Bisaccia or Don Martindale, but I know how the league’s trending these days. If we’re going by connections though, I’d think Ken Dorsey.

He's also had Brady. Neither Leftwich nor Moore interests me yet.
