Looking for bandaids I see.  That's really all you can hope for right now to be honest.  After the season there will be a lot a blood letting, hopefully, and new faces will be brought in.  One can only hope that a few new coaches will be among them.

For those of you wanting to trade for players I caution you to think about the price that the team will have to pay to get even an average starter at this point.  And even then you have to have a willing trade partner.  You never want to trade with someone who knows you are desperate.  That's how teams get raped. 

 

So for now we will have to settle for bandaids and focus on long term solutions in the offseason.

He and Haden.  He won't though.  We know better.

I wonder if that means Oher's concussion is much worse than anyone is leading on and that he could go to IR.

We can clean house at the end of the season. NO TRADES. Losing pushes us up the draft board, and we need some of the best the college crop has to offer for next season.

Looking at scrubs isn't going to turn this season around, but it's part of Gettleman's job to kick the tires on a few guys when the season is circling the drain.

If we add on more inexperience college kids in the draft why would we get better? thats our problem now with the secondary..go for the vets..

Pathetic. Trying out street guys mid-season because they didn't properly fill the roster. fuging pathetic.

CB situation was self-created with Getts releasing Bene so abruptly.  But the tackle situation, that's unacceptable.  That's definitely a March convo.

Man, relying on Williams as our one backup at tackle has really sucked.  We got by with patchwork tackles, and now their true value is starting to show.  Like a Kia, it might look good for a year, but it breaks down quickly.
