I wouldnt even pick us to beat the Redskins. We couldnt do it 3 years ago with a better team, no reason to believe we can do it now. I know they suck, but we've only beat the Skins one time in our Super Bowl year on a controversial Stephen Davis TD. Outside of that, no matter how much they suck, they give us the business every time. I see this year as being no different.

No I am not at all happy about how this season's 2 games have gone so far. But at Atlanta I saw a team that, although mistakes were made, did not quit. That gives me a sliver of hope for the rest of the season if the d & st can be fixed. Even if we had stopped the bleeding a little we could've won that Atlanta game. I'm not giving up.

But then I've always been an eternal optimist. :biggrinjester:

Well, thank you. Feel free to borrow it. :) I have one with the same cat looking like he's stalking but the photog's name is written over it. :(

Actually, the Panthers are a piece of cake. Smiling through job changes that are not for the better is a test. Having heart surgery and surviving is a test. Football is easy. :P

But I know what you mean. It's more frustrating than anything. lol If they could take my will power and spread it around, they'd win every game. lol Every fan feels like that.

      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.
