We just went head to head with the Super Bowl Champs with the worst o-line in the league, the worst offensive play caller in the league, the worst group of safeties in the league, and the worst punt return team in the league. Our rookie WR dominated "the best CB in the league." Our defense looked like our defense of last year even with missing pieces. We've had some major injuries and losses on our team, Bene, Hardy, Norman before yesterday, our guards, CJ and TD have been limited, Cam coming off ankle surgery, all of our RBs. All that and we only lost by 4, and for the most part dominated the game aside from one drive and a low-percentage 58 yard field goal, and some bounces that didn't go our way (we lost our botched option fumble and they kept theirs, if both of those go the other way that's at least a 6 point swing + momentum). Think what we can do once we either have Hardy or that $13M back to improve our other areas, and also some other dead money off the books or lowered like Beason, Godfrey, Gross, Smitty. Norman will keep improving and giving us some huge help, as well as Norwell being a huge revelation at guard, and Ealy improving possibly making CJ and/or Hardy expendable - getting cap room back. Need to put things in perspective folks. This is not the end of the world, or the end of our team as it stands. Gettleman isn't trying to get rid of Rivera and Cam by putting crap talent around them--he just had no other options to improve our weaknesses. We are just a couple problem areas away from being the team that we were in 2013. Yesterday we saw a flash of that team for ~55 minutes of the game even with the massive problems at OC, o-line, safeties, etc. Anybody suggesting Rivera needs to be fired, Gettleman needs to be fired, Cam shouldn't re-sign here or we shouldn't re-sign him, and other overreactions need to just calm down. We have an 8 game stretch where we play only 1 team with a winning record and we are currently heading our division with a sh*tload of promise for the future. Calm down, relax, get ready for Thursday and keep pounding.

Yes but Shula needs to be gone.

That's not an overreaction. I've been on that dudes side but the play calling has been atrocious minus one or two games this year

This can't be stated enough. The dude can singlehandedly cost the team games. Yeah, you can execute the play given, but it doesn't matter when the wrong play was called. The play can be executed perfectly and still gain nothing because it was a $hit play that played right into the defenses hands. As Cam would put it, gotta have better play calling simple and plain.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
