Latest episode I wrote. Not sure why our video editor is so in love with b&w...

I think our memory tells us there were a lot more really good receivers than there actually were. Great receivers tend to have long careers. There have been hundreds that washed out in three years for every one that made it to 10 years. But those great catches and dominant seasons linger in our minds forever.

(Ummm, you get a Super Bowl ring even if you are the back-up QB...) And I guess this week, we'll get to see how he does in SF. He's got some weapons there. And we're just sitting here at 0-6.

I'm thinking you're wrong here in each of your reasonings. SF is very much built to win a SB, rough patch that they are in notwithstanding. But we'll know sometime around February.

I think I said I hoped...

I don't think Burns wants to play for us. He really isn't playing for us. He's not going to really play for us. So, yeah, let's keep the guy against his will. Better to ask him where he wants to go and call them and see if they are willing to give us anything at all to avoid the inevitable franchise tag, hold out and overpayment for an underperforming and under-motivated player. Sheeesh, I really like(d) the guy, but man he has disappeared since the contract dispute.

Darnold is going to light it up. PJ will perform fairly well, bolstered by a helluva defense. Us, I'm afraid that CJ Stroud is going to be hitting the field wanting to show us up for passing on him. Here's hoping an unrattled Bryce goes out there and shows why he was the #1 pick.

Well, it's just a practice squad spot. And let's face it, we've got some starters that haven't really played yet this year. And then there's Justin Houston, our big name pick-up at linebacker who has produced 4 tackles and half of a sack. Whoopie. So yeah, can't really complain about those guys going on the practice squad. Good luck to them.

Good for him! Hope he does great. Not the big name I think we need, but then again I wasn't impressed when we snagged Frankie Luvu. And boy was I wrong about that.

Gotta love Moose! We've been trying to find a guy like him since he retired. As you can tell, it's a nearly impossible task.

There is a massive amount of truth and insight in this post.

We are snakebit as a franchise.

We try our best. My thing is I always want the people to be the story more than the crime. I really don't like exploitation and so many of our competitors (particularly the new ones) really go for the salacious side of things. We do like to throw in a zinger or two when we can at some of the less innocent characters, but we try to keep it subtle... no reason to piss off a killer.

Oh wow!!! So great to hear this! If you ever have a suggestion or comment, just let me know! And thanks so very much for watching!

Due we are three and a half point underdogs for the bye week.

New episode up, this one on our sister channel Beyond Evil Podcast. This one is a bit shorter, let me know what you think.

You forgot Sam Darnold riding the pine for 49ers and Steve Wilks running their outstanding defense at 5-1. Still, of all of those, I'm most happy that Chosen Chosen Sideshow Bob Chosen was someone we chose to show the door.

Not sure how he keeps getting open because it's pretty obvious he's our only receiving threat. The old guy is burning the rest of his magic for us. We should be doing more for him. Was nice to see Tommy Tremble out there making some catches. With two catches yesterday he pretty much has been outplaying both Double H and Ian Thomas. That's how low our TE bar has become. Glad that we grabbed Thielen but man, he needs some help out there. I just keep having flashbacks to that playoff game years ago when Seattle triple covered Smitty on every play and we were completely shut down. If we were a better team, they'd be doing that to Thielen from here on out.

We traded everything away for beans. Not even magical ones. There's no beanstalk. This ain't no fairy tale. We are the worst team in the league and so much worse than we were last year at this time. And we sucked then. And we traded away our first round draft pick in the process. Woof. If we just took a 12-week bye, do you think anyone would notice?

What got into those Cats????? Wow!

Wow look at Chuba!!!!

I don't think we're tanking. I don't think they really know what they are doing. It's a stool with three uneven legs that the team is sitting on and there is no way that it will level out and make sense until some major rethinking of the power structure is done.

Good luck to Chuba. For a RB2 nearing the end of his first contract, this is the kind of opportunity that can make or break his career. I hope he can really show out and rack up some yardage for us. I'm not expecting much out of this game, but that would be a welcome bright spot for us. And I really do feel he has shown himself as the better RB in our rotation.

Actually, you're right. After the better part of a decade of frustration at the QB position, we're just all worn out and grumpy. The kid needs time to develop. So do many of us.

Okay. Whatever.
