  1. Always stoked to see us at least start a football game. Would love to see some decent offense tonight. 250+ passing and a tightly contested game would be encouraging. Improved playcalling and some nice rhythm. Let's goo
  2. Sweet, he’s a quality receiver when he’s out there.
  3. I agree about Mingo. He has a great ceiling and is much more in that AJ Brown/Metcalf mold (and from the same program). Definitely feel good about him. I would have loved a burner or shifty slot type as it is a clear need but hope we can make due for the time being and Mingo shows out this year.
  4. Hey now, we know they’re not going far at the end of the day and now there’s a strong possibility they’re out of the Caleb sweeps. Happy Baker can help. LVR and AZ still look like prime QB destinations and bad teams. Luckily both in the AFC
  5. Mims is going to be a stud and was in college. Huge fan. Hate that he wound up with Payton and Wilson though. Just a big fan of his all around. Tank Dell seemed to also pick up where he left off in college. Downs is also getting notable grabs and looks in Indy. It would be nice to have found a guy that can produce rather immediately. Seems like WR is the position where that can happen more than others. Would love to see a nice game from Mingo on Monday.
  6. Nacua has 16 receptions in his first 6 NFL quarters. That's pretty wild for a 5th rounder.
  7. They didn't have any early ones but man have they found some gems in the huge lot they drafted. Young, Nacua, that was a 13 player deep 2023 class.
  8. Byron Young is like a vet out there for the Rams already. He's having a really impressive rookie campaign so far.
  9. So basically we’ve had zero come from behind wins since Cam/Luke’s last good year. When you cycle through Kyle Allen, Taylor, Teddy, PJ, Darnold and Baker, that will definitely be the result. Hopefully they start to change that.
  10. I’d continue to look in the draft for a true playmaker. I said elsewhere but a good part of Penix’s rise/hype in WAS has been due to Rome Odunze. Big fan of Rome, he’s an awesome talent. He’s like a faster Michael Pittman Jr. Vertical threat, hands catcher, tough, makes big plays. Is not complimentary, really the core of that Huskies offense. Troy Franklin in Oregon has been the other on my Saturday radar. Game breaker, explosive talent. He’s kind of in the Aiyuk-esque realm and Aiyuk is definitely one of my fave receivers in todays NFL. And to that point—If we could somehow land Aiyuk, I’d be thrilled, but I doubt SF moves on. He may grow into their true #1 this year. He was a difference maker down the stretch last year. There’s been a lot of talented WRs coming out late R1 and beyond..and we just can’t seem to pick the right ones. Would love to change that—would be nice to at least hit with Mingo and get in position to add a rookie burner with a younger more reliable FA.
  11. Let’s get a second game under our belts before reacting to quickly to anything at this point.
  12. Thank you for someone playing the tongue and cheek game and not being the incessant corrective Boy Scout.
  13. I would just assume he's out most weeks unless we hear he's back.
  14. It’s a word I deem appropriate when there’s this much time missed. His fault or not, he’s in the 3rd year of his 4 year rookie contract. Does not look promising we’ll pick up his option. Sucks for the guy, but it’s the reality.
  15. PS2, Slater, Devonta, Parsons, Darrisaw…it’s crazy how many hits were around what seems like a dud when we had every defensive player in the entire draft at our disposal to pick from. SMH
  16. Good stuff. Plenty for the squad to improve on, hopefully we can surprise on national tv and make some passing game corrections.
  17. That was his enigma in Philly as well. He’ll end up averaging 4.2+ per carry and have good stats to show, but in game, there’s never truly impact plays consistently.
  18. Right now I’m following the cat teams (did not happen intentionally, dog guy)—the Lions, Bengals, and Jags. Don’t mind watching the Chargers from time to time.
  19. With Thielen getting $8 and Miles $6 mil, I’d like to hope they prove worthy of their investments at the least for a year. Hope they can come in and contribute.
  20. I wonder—is it healthy or have we just been close too many times and are just less emotional these days? Probs a combination. Less reactive, just more meh, we’ll there’s another loss. I would definitely be stoked if we were to become a new powerhouse contender but don’t think the personal investment would be there like it was when we were younger. That 03-08 stretch had some real impressionable football memories for many of us in that bracket (older millennial). Not trying to pit age groups or anything, more an observation
