48 hours ago the Huddle had Super Bowl visions. Now we should pack the season up and go home?

In the past 48 hours, we've had a bad loss and suffered a slew of key injuries. Is that all it takes for people to give up on the entire team and season? Do you guys think that every team that makes the playoffs does so without taking a bad loss and getting banged up along the way?

 

Last time I checked we were still tied for 1st place in the division. We still have Luke anchoring that defense with that great defensive line. We have KB out there looking like the best rookie receiver since Randy Moss. 

 

We're 3 games into a 16 game season. I have full confidence that we're going to beat the Ravens and go to 3-1 and then we'll see where things go from there.

The season isn't over by any means.

 

1. Atlanta still has a terrible OL.

2. Atlanta sill has no pass rush.

3. Tampa Bay is garbage.

4. New Orleans defense is the worst in the league.

 

And last but certainly not least: Bitches ain't sh*t but hoes and tricks.

 

The sky got a little dark on Sunday, but it is not falling.

i think people are more deflated than anything. winning 13 out of the last 14 had us used to deeply enjoying every single gameday and then getting blown the fug out has really brought us back down to earth. i haven't even really wanted to think about football for the last two days.

 

we'll show up to play against the ravens. i think we'll win… if not we'll be competitive, and that's all you can ask for, especially with the injuries we've got mounting.

This fanbase has trust issues. In someway, it's understandable due to all the up and down years we've had, but you'd think, eventually, the fans will grow some tough skin and strive through the adversity just like the team has to and will.

If we can get healthy we'll be ok, but have you seen our next 7 games?  Ravens, Bears, Bengals, Packers, Seahawks, Saints, and the Eagles.  That a tough stretch to go through with the injuries we have.  Can we do it sure.  We need to be realistic.  If we can just find a way to win three of those games we'll have a chance to steal a wildcard down the stretch.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
