This one could be actually interesting. Might even be a you know what for us. Would be nice.

We need a change at GM and an overhaul of the scouting department, both at the college level AND especially the veteran free agent level. Bad draft picks are one thing, but the sheer number of flat tires this group has brought in over the years is astounding. And the contracts they've given out to them, whew. The next thing is to redo our defensive philosophy and go back to a 4-3 defense that is better suited to the NFCSouth. Next, go to Brian Burns, give him the contract he wants with the caveat that we're trading him and that contract to a contender team for draft picks. Let's make it work for both of us. If not, let him go and get the compensatory draft picks. It's obvious he doesn't want to be here (based on the effort we've seen) and let's not nail the man's feet to the floor any further. Renegotiate Sanders' contract based on performance with the option of being cut. Then give Chuba a decent contract. The kid has earned it and still has a lot of tread on his tires. Might not be CMC (and who is?) but he's the best RB we've got right now by a long margin. Next, at the Combine I'd quietly shop around Jaycee Horn. The kid is phenomenal but he's made of glass. Maybe he can do better elsewhere and we can get something back for our efforts. If he could play for 14 games a season, it'd be a whole different story, but he's getting starting DB consideration and team placement but he's spent most of his time on the training table instead of the field. Keep our kicker and punter, lock them in. They've been the most reliable parts on this team. And lastly, this is a tough one. Stick with Bryce. Hopefully there's growth in him and in our offensive play designs. I think our O-line problems will get stronger in the offseason, we just have to get them to working cohesively as a unit and it could be greatly improved if we let Boseman call protections rather than Bryce. Keep pounding. Or, honestly, start pounding again. This weak sauce stuff has gotten old.

Screw betting. Just win the damn game.

I'd been rooting for him during those years where he seemed to keep getting passed over. Let's just say that some of the sparkle has come off at this point. That certainly wasn't the results that I thought he'd have. I stand heavily corrected.

Lamar Jackson was never coming here. You see, first, Lamar would have to have wanted to be here first and yanno... nah.

Really... well, when they're 29th in the league in rushing, it often means that other teams aren't passing on them as much. For an example, check out the Panthers...

The Packers have one of the worst defenses in the league and a good QB should be able to put up 300 yards on them. Bryce was a good QB on this day and did what you'd hoped to see. This is the kind of game you want to have to build on. And it was wonderful to see the receivers wake up as well.

Can't read the memos...

And another...

The only reason to sign Burns is if we have someone willing to immediately trade for him in the offseason. If not, it's time to let him go and get compensatory picks for him. He's been underwhelming for the past two seasons and never hit the vaunted potential people saw in him. Yeah, the Spider-man thing is mighty cool but he is really at his best as Edge2 on a team. Without someone else to tie up resources, he's just not strong enough or motivated enough to win contests on a regular basis. Sorry, wish it was different, but there it is. He went from 53 to 0 and in more than just jersey numbers here.

Sheeesh. We don't just need a house cleaning after this season, we need a fumigation. Why keep anyone from a season that has been an epic, historic trainwreck?

The saddest part of this game is that I've gotten to the "who really cares?" stage.

There was a reason Seattle didn't mind seeing Fitterer go.

Our defense quit working like a unit when we lost Shaq for the year. The heart of any defense is the MLB. Luvu is great, but he's the Thomas Davis in this defense.

Soaked us for paychecks. Seeya bench warmer.

Third fewest yards allowed in the NFL, but 4th most points... that's more about the field position of our opponents than anything else. It's not about good coaching. At all.

We have been unsuccessfully transferring to an odd front since the last year of Rivera here. It's just a bad idea to keep trying.

Like I said, least stinky turd in the pile. That's not a real Carolina defense. Haven't seen one of those since Luke retired. It used to be our hallmark and should be our standard. But we may have packed that away with Keep Pounding. Sad how far we've fallen so quickly. This is a good defense only in comparison to our offense. That's not a high mark on the wall to clear, yanno? Time to restart, yet again, and hope we can get back to our roots.

We've produced 20 sacks, 8 INTs, we have an epically bad run defense that skews the games so badly that our pass defense ranks wildly high. There are tons more reasons but just go watch the games so more. I can't. It's just not worth arguing over. If you're amazed by their wonderful performance, I'm glad you can find some happiness in that. Best of luck to you.

I hinted that this could be a possibility because the vibes coming out of Pittsburgh are so similar to Cowher being allowed to resign. I'd really be behind taking him as our head coach. No problem at all.

If that stat only told the whole story, we'd be freaking amazing! You've seen the games, man. Right? It's terrible. It's just that our offense sucks so badly in comparison.

Considering the injuries and defensive issues we've had I think the offense has been outstanding. I mean, that turd can be polished both ways I guess. This has been a terrible season with terrible play and a team that doesn't feel like much of a team at all. Bad leadership, badly built, bad luck and bad effort. We're just left hoping for better next season. Again.

It's just not worth discussing anymore.

Must be all that great run defense we've been showing huh? There's about four guys on defense trying and the rest are just cashing checks and making plans for January in Orlando.

Y'all realize that our defense isn't very good either, right? It has been the least stinky turd in the pile, but that doesn't make great. Let's just move on from everything associated with this season.
