I agree, protesting over the results of a athletic team is ludicrous.

Our coaching staff gave them three points. 3rd and 1 at midfield. Both teams with all three time outs. Run the ball, make it and keep playing, don't make it, force them to use a timeout. Instead we throw, incomplete pass, and now they go in down by 1.

Are you new to the huddle? lol Yeah, someone is going to be mad.

And for all the talk about Bryce's height, seeing the field didn't seem to be the issue in this last game. On the first pick 6, he just made a bad decision. On the second, he overthrew the receiver, seeing the field wasn't an issue. And on the third one, he underthrew the receiver. I am not saying he will fix those mistakes; I genuinely don't know. But if he does, he will be a good qb, if not, well the next few years are going to be as bad as the last few.

I wouldn't know this owners wife's name if I didn't see it here every day. For that matter, I was a Washington fan in the 70's and 80's and didn't really know the name of the actual owner. Didn't care.

Lawerence definitely looked slow to me, and somewhat awkward in first two seasons. Lawrence is actually slower than Bryce, at least with his 40 time. And he threw a lot of interceptions. More than Bryce has at this point in their respective careers. That being said, only time will tell.

Fwiw, in his first year, Trevor Lawrence was making throws like this. Alot of throws like this. Trevor Lawrence throws his first career pick 6 - YouTube Now he actually looks like a legitimate NFL qb. So there is still hope.

I know, just saying he would be more of a downfield deep ball threat than Theilen, at least speed wise. And he did have the longest completion of the game, counting yac. Fwiw, I think a lot of this is still a work in progress, but I do find the play of the line, especially the left tackle, disconcerting.

Thielen is slower than many NFL receivers. Don't care. He catches it. Mingo and Chark are supposed to be the downfield threats.

Agreed. If we resign him (a big if), it will have to be incentive laden, and make him easy to cut if the injuries continue. It sucks, because I think he is a very talented corner, but nothing can be done about it.

They are fifth in points allowed per game. Reality is that without all the turnovers, they would likely be 7-1, or maybe 8-0.

I find it interesting that people are talking about the SF defense. With 7 turnovers in the last three games, might need to point the finger at the other side. The reality is that most of the time, the more you turn the ball over, the more the other team scores.

There is a report that SF traded with Washington to get Chase Young. If so, that might be why he was called in.

I am not sure I would consider several of those guys elite. Some are, some maybe not. But regardless, it seems that there are several ways to build a SB winner. Tampa Bay and the Rams did it with vet qb's they picked up in the offseason and elite defenses. I mean for all the talk about Brady, Tampa Bay held Mahomes and Tyreek Hill to 9 points. The Chiefs did it with a great qb and an elite wr who was an undrafted free agent the first time around, and no elite receivers in the second one. The Dolphins have more weapons than any team in the NFL, but they have yet to even get a playoff win. Might this year, but they got smacked around by an Eagles team that played great defense. It would be nice to have an elite receiver, but in terms of winning super bowls, these things change every year. This year, it could be a offensive shootout, next year could be another low scoring affair like the Patriots Rams sb from a few years ago.

Why do we need a elite receiver? I mean certainly they help, but most SB winners have several good ones instead of one great one. If we trade Burns so be it. But I would rather it be for a haul of picks, instead of just one to get a top receiver.

Agreed. If we end up winning five this year, I would be ok with that.

Red zone offense is still the big issue. Well actually, the 35 yard line and in. Its partly an inexperienced qb, partially on the wr's, partially the play calling, but mostly on the offensive line. First and goal, and couldn't get any push at all. We moved the ball fairly well in the middle of the field, but struggled when we got closer to the goal. And its been an issue all season long. Hopefully, the issues improve with time and better health.

Prior to today, the Texans were averaging 270 yards per game passing. They got 140 today. Overall, a pretty good day.

From what I read, he had a concussion, or there was a concern he had one. He went in the tent.

Major difference is that Horne is good when he plays. Icky hasnt had a problem with injuries just with play on the field.

I rarely give up on a player at the midpoint in the season, but with Sanders, its obvious he should be inactive or third in line. He just looks indecisive when he should just go. Unless we are talking Barry Sanders, NFL rb's can't just dance around. They have to pick a lane and go, and if they pick the wrong one, so be it. Chuba runs hard and Blackshear gives a solid run pass threat. I don't think Sanders brings anything to the lineup at this point.

Agreed, but I do think they should change the rules in that case so that the kicking team can decline the penalty.

Essentially, it was a pre-snap penalty, so the kick didn't count.

Part of the problem is that the Oline has been mixed up all year. New coaching staff with new ways of doing things and then multiple injuries. I think it will be nice to just see if a few weeks of consistent players and no injuries helps things get better. That being said, our first round pick from last year looked really bad. In both the run and pass blocking.

The funny thing is that we are only three games out of first. Not that we have a chance of winning it, but our division is really bad.
