I know I annoyed some with my DeAngelo rants

Recommended Posts

DeAngelo overall was a good player for us and I realize me wanting him gone got on some of your nerves...sorry about that

but we finally cut him and what do you know, we immediately go 15-1 and have our best season in franchise history.

How does this relate to Seattle? Well in every game at Carolina who had a key fumble to set up Seattle for the win? DeAngelo.  Who ain't here?  DeAngelo.

I'm not saying DeAngelo was a super secret sleeper jinx disguised as a good player....but it is what it is.  Gotta read the tea leafs.

 

 

 

 

 

This post is 99% joking, 1% serious as hell

DeAngelo was only responsible for one of those losses.

The rest - was we didn't seem to have enough of the killer instinct to put a team away when the game was on the line.  Different team today.

I hope to see our Oregon back punch them in their throats with hard running and stuffs their defense for TDs.  I hope Cam shows them why he IS the MVP and Olsen has a BIG, BIG day today.

Both games at Carolina he had HUGE fumbles.  One set up an easy score in the red zone  and one basically kept us from scoring when we got into their redzone.  They were both less than a TD games.

i was just looking at how close those game were and that was when in all honesty they had better teams than us.  They don't this time.

This thread is probably half joking and half serious. But I agree with OP..  Glad he's gone.  And I'm glad he used it as motivation and played well for Pittsburgh 

I noted in the OP it was "99% joking, 1% serious as hell"

  Even as a Steeler fan also, I was pissed when I first saw him in pre-season,and he  was 15-20 lbs lighter. The only motivation he had was that his "gravy train" had run out and he had to earn his place on a team. Instead of the team being stuck with him because he would cost more to cut than actually play. I was happy for the Steeler fan in me, but knowing it from both sides made me furious that he basically went through the motions for the last couple years.

Lesson here. Don't sign RBs to second contracts.

I don't hate DeAngelo, never did nor will.  I hope the best for him and it sucked for him the last few years and some fans were brutal.  Whatever.

My point is I am focussed on the current starter and hope he is going to thrash some Hawks defenders like a cat snagging a seabird with a great pounce and killer instinct.

Today is about Stewart, Camvp, and hunger.  Go eat, fellas.  This is our time!

Thought Stewart was the one that fumbled last year.

    • 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.

    • 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.  🤣😂
