Chark's speed doesn't translate to game conditions. That DB made him look like he was running in sand.

I know we're depleted on defense, but dang we look bad.

Yup. We are blocking and having some success. That opens up everything. Our inability to run to date has really put pressure on Bryce.

Frank, the players are finally executing them correctly.

It's amazing that we can look like an NFL team when we run block, pass-pro, throw accurately and don't drop passes. Most importantly, not shooting ourselves in the foot with dumb penalties.

The Ian Thomas folks: Hey, after four seasons and handful of games, Ian finally made it as a 1,000 yard receiver! Remember when Olsen would routinely break 1,000 yard per season before the injury bug got him?

Losing DJ was the worst part. The way we've been drafting lately, only losing the other first rounder hurts. Our second rounders play, but don't have much of an impact.

Agreed. The problem is I think we are building our team on a questionable cornerstone. I think Bryce's ceiling is Tua and that's even if he reaches his ceiling.

The problem with teams tanking this year is they can't lose worse than us and Chicago is laughing all the way. Sean Peyton would LOVE some Caleb Williams, but the Bears (thanks to us) has a firm grasp on that #1 pick.

Tanking still would have gotten us Bryce Young. The only difference is the draft capital we gave up to move up.

We cold hope the Dolphins just implode, right? I mean literally, because we know they won't figuratively do that on the football field. Forfeit is about the only chance we got.

Our TE room is such @ss.

^^^ something around this much.

This is the kind of intensity we've been lacking! Too bad he's retired.

If somehow Tepper figured we would get the #1 pick at QB (a non-generational one at that) and go without significant growing pains this season, then the man is more delusional than I thought.

Through next season, but if he keeps losing this year, I'd bench him and reboot next season. Nobody is above benching, even #1 picks. Losing game after game after game is NOT giving him confidence and it sure as heck isn't doing the rest of the team any favors.

With Dalton.

He told the coaches he's got some new "special" gloves.

Jean Fridays, though...am I right? I don't know if the Big Cat is laughing at Tepper in the hereafter or rolling over in his grave for what David's done to his beloved team.

BUT WE HAVE TO GET OUR QB THIS DRAFT...NO MATTER WHAT!!!! Me:

He signed his contract, so yeah, he literally signed up for this. Also, #1 picks usually go to bad teams, so if this is somehow taking him by surprise...well, SURPRISE!

I've sworn off the Huddle twice before, one of those times approximately four years in duration. It has it's ebbs and flows. One instance where I quit posting was a time when the personal attacks went nearly unchecked by mods and another instance where a mod (long since gone) and I got into it. During good times this place isn't too bad, but times like this, it gets pretty intolerable. As long as mods doesn't pick favorites and keeps the personal attacks in check by poo flinging posters, I'll continue to linger around...for now. Enjoy your retirement Mr. Scot.

Under 50% isn't acceptable of a NFL QB, especially the #1 overall pick. I know he's a rookie, but he's got to do better.

4 of 9 for a TD and pick in the 10-20 yard range. You guys say it's Frank play calling, but Frank isn't the one who is lukewarm completing passes beyond 10 yards.
