There's more truth to this than a lot of us want to admit. Both of those guys deserve a chance to perform without Rhule here. Give them each three games to start before the end of the season.

Have any of those top draft QBs we're looking at actually changed the trajectory of their whole program? If not, then chances are they can't do it here, either. There's a reason teams with high draft picks are often teams with high draft picks year after year. They keep begging for a miracle and playing the lottery assuming that someday their number will come in.

I just might. And I'm usually of the mind you don't buy other people's problems.

Well, here's hoping he recovers fully. We move on, some other guys are going to get opportunities.

New one just hit, if you're interested.

In some areas, but he's not anywhere near his quality yet. Von has a killer instinct that even goes beyond what most pass rushers have. I'm not sure if Burns has that much of one.

Umm, J-Bunny?

Without a doubt, but in Burns' case, it is doubly important. He doesn't have the mass to successfully take on doubles all game long. I still think he was picked to, and made for, playing as an OLB in a 3-4 defense.

I'm pretty sure everything is playing out according to plan at the moment.

Burns does his best work when there is another good pass rushing DE on the other side of the formation. And I really think Marquis Haynes is far outplaying YGM right now. Haynes was a monster out there last night.

Yeah, that'll help.

Honestly, Atlanta is in that transitional first year with a new coach. We'll be there next season unless Wilks is retained. Atlanta has some of the pieces but they are a QB and some defensive pieces away. We're, ummm, not that different. Still, I think the in division games this season for the NFCSouth should be interesting as all of the teams are on par with each other... and that's not a compliment. Remember when this was the toughest division in the NFL?

Honestly, it's a weird season for the NFL.

It was a good play, but yeah, even if there are options within it, you can't go to the well too many times with it. I just want them to drop most of the smoke passes they try to make to DJ. He doesn't have that ability to break the first tackler like Smitty did. They need to work on getting DJ down field a bit. I'm really tired of completed passes that go for -1 to 1 yard. Maybe we do need to run Darnold and Mayfield back out there just to see if we can open things up a bit.

Sometimes two bad teams make for a good game. I enjoyed the win. I cheered more than I thought I would. These games have become rare and I'm going to enjoy them when they happen. Life is too short.

Congrats on the good news, that has to be a major relief! Hope everything else falls into place so well for you!

Well, this ought to be a... it'll be a thing. Gotta tune in. Literally anything could happen tonight.

I wonder if Fit's opinion of Wilson is all wine and roses or if he shares the same that a lot of folks within the Seahawks organization are saying? I don't see Pete Carroll crying over Wilson's move to Denver.

Best wishes through this and my prayers are with you.

I'd trust Steve Wilks to make the right call on this, considering his experience. Still, I think you have to wonder when a franchise in dire straits like the Raiders cuts a guy like that, what is really going on.

It's a bit of a pipe dream, but he might be great here. There's just no way that Baltimore lets him go. The kind of money he's going to want, though, might be crippling.

McDermott was mature and smart enough to hire a rockstar staff. Rhule couldn't have one of those and still be the unquestioned leader. It says a lot about the two men. Probably a lot about our society, too.

You know, if you got it out there quickly, it could be of some service to the organization. I mean, you're obviously more versed in this than their last "experts".

Right now we see shade in every movement and moment of this organization. I think less is being thrown on purpose than is being cast by simple shrugs and hands thrown up in the air in exasperation. We've got to quit acting like the organization actually knows what it is doing and is actually doing what they have planned.

It's kind of funny that people think fans could make a team owner sell...
