It's sad to hear about Gonzalez, but let the punter kick. Remember he's Australian and soccer is pretty popular over there. Chances are he's familiar with the correct kicking mechanics. Wait, did they really try PJ Walker?

I may tune in for a laugh.

And they say a good defense can't carry a struggling offense. BS, that's the reason stats don't tell the entire story. While our defense is top 5 in most categories, it's not as good as it would seem just looking at defensive rankings. Our defense is mediocre and the reason they can't drag our sputtering offense across the finish line every so often for an occasional win. The Colts still gave up 300 passing to Mac Jones, but held them to 17 points. The 'bend-but-don't break' mantra really does have merit. Our defense is just the opposite, kinda like a levee--holds strong until the pressure is too great and then fails horrifically.

It's looking like 3 top 10 OT prospects. If this organization flubs this no-brainer decision, it may be wraps for me. I'll just carry on my Sundays from that point forward like the NFL doesn't exist. Really, that's how much of a deal breaker this is to me right now. If there isn't a franchise QB in this year's class (and there really isn't) getting your franchise OT is the next best thing. I don't care about any other position. Don't give me some crap about DEs, WRs and certainly not CBs. Those positions can't change the fortune of a struggling franchise. A stud left tackle that keeps the QB clean can make a marginal QB look good as long as the QB takes care of the ball. The key is, dude has to stay UPRIGHT. Again, if the organization screws up this pick, I will really consider washing my hands of this incompetency once and for all.

That's why I'm saying trade a player on the roster now and get our 2nd and/or 3rd round pick back.

I guess Rhule has to get a lap dance and kick a player first. Who's up for hiring a call girl and getting kicked in the shin? I'll pitch in...

Just El-OH-El!!!!! Is that supposed to be 10.5 or 15.0 for Linderbaum? You couldn't have got him at 105. That has to be a typo...or these simulators are garbage this early. It's the later one.

Ah yes, draft a QB just because we need one, especially in a super-talent OL draft. Makes sense.

Pay Reddick and put D-Jax on the trading block, ASAP. Get something for him now before he hits FA otherwise he's going to walk and we might get a comp pick for him in 2023, which helps us none next season.

One-in-the-same now.

Rhule would seal his own fate then. Pickett may work out, but 99% sure not in year 1. I don't think Tepper endures another losing season and having a rookie QB as the excuse won't cut it no matter how hard Rhule spins it.

I'd still like to retire in the mountains, however, just on the SC side of the line. It's still too remote for big city northerners to live outside of vacation homes and while crime is everywhere, it's relatively low in the hills.

No way we roll with a rookie QB next year. Rhule, if by some miracle is retained, can't risk wet-nursing a rookie and a new regime would know that the playoffs aren't realistic, but fielding a competitive team while staying out of the NFL cellar will surely be Tepper's expectations.

So we don't make adjustments in the 3rd quarter and and fail to come back in the the 4th quarter meaning....we would be a playoff team if games ended at halftime?

Cam should get a infected hang nail and go on IR, just say'n. Trotting him out there during this brutal last four-game stretch is only going to demoralize him. This team has packed it in whether the coaches know it or not. Put Walker out there, let's see if see really worth keeping as a backup or not. We probably lose all four, Rhule gets canned and we can all start fresh next season.

I did one last night and got Neal too. Funny thing is Ekwonu is going ahead of Neal in that simulator. Not sure that happens in reality. Regardless, without a 2nd and 3rd rounder, it's hard to do a mock at this point. I don't know enough about Day 3 prospects to even make an educated guess. Think I took a center, guard, LB, TE and DL, not necessarily in that order.

Panthers North beats the stuffing out of the originals.

And?

1. OT 2. Linderbaum 3. Trade down

A substitute RB as our full-time one has been MIA for quite sometime now.

Do teams still have to forfeit games due to an outbreak? If so ...and I know CMC is straight,but he should kiss every player square on the mouth! That is how bad I want Rhule gone!

Tepper was figuring how much of Rhule's salary can be written off as a tax deduction when he cans him.

Yeah, the Chiefs had the staff and players to turn it around. This team? Pffffft, that's a different story.

Yup, looks like Rhule is losing the locker room when players are starting to act like this. After a complete drubbing by the Bills this week, the wheels should come completely off. After that, we welcome in the defending SB champions fighting for the #1 seed. I wonder if they will just quit on him by then?

The reason we didn't bite on the Bears offer is because the team was stuck on a CB and was worried both of the guys they were targeting would be gone. Surtain went the very next pick. That part, they correct on.
