Highly doubt we go after any top tier FAs but can absolutely see one of the LT options being brought in and/or a 2nd tier WR, S, DE.

 

Think we'll have a significantly better team than last year if we upgrade LT, get Fournette, S and DE on day two, slot WR mid rounds, 2nd TE in FA like Luke Willson and with continued development and playing time of some of our young players like Worley, Shaq, Butler, etc. And while last year was terrible, we were esentially 7-9 (clearly tanked the Bucs game, Cam was intentionally sloppy and Greg fell down on the 2 point on purpose) with all the injuries we had and a lot of close losses, outrageously poor refereeing against us and the SB hangover. Feeling a Denver like come back to win it all 2 years after getting stomped.

You are very bold to suggest our guys tanked a game intentionally.

Sitting Luke when he was completely healthy is by definition not trying your hardest to win as an organization. Of course I don't know about Cam and Greg, that's just the way it looked to me. They likely weren't actually intentionally trying to lose but I bet you they didn't give their all to win that game.

Sitting Luke after he suffered his 2nd concussion in 2 years in a game that had no post season implications probably had more to do with Luke's health than the intended outcome of the game.

And have you ever seems Greg's passion and competitive nature? He fell on purpose? Come on..

Greg's not stupid.  Him falling on that play is a fart in the wind to his and the team's legacy of winning Super Bowls.  Picking 8 instead of being out of the top 10 in every round is Y U G E.

His goal is to win Super Bowls.  He already made the Pro Bowl in a lost season for the team.  He doesn't have to worry about his next contract.

Add in a punishing fullback for LF to run behind and we are rollin'

Umm no. Luke was cleared. Him playing in those games was no more a threat to his health than playing the start of this upcoming season. There's no logical reason to sit him there if you're still trying your hardest to win games. He should've been playing. I'm not happy about it even though it helped result in our 8th overall pick, but it's just the reality of the situation.

I don't think he thought about it and fell on purpose but I think he checked out that game, just like most of the NFL players playing in meaningless games that week. Fringe players may play their hearts out in a meaningless week 17 game but not vets who have no reason to. Better to not get hurt.

Yeah forgot to add that in my post but the kid out of Baltimore would be amazing here. Lot of great options in FA for FB this year. Won't even have to f*ck around with these UDFA FBs we keep bringing in and cutting.

I'm confused....or you're confused.... or both.

From the opening statement:

(clearly tanked the Bucs game, Cam was intentionally sloppy and Greg fell down on the 2 point on purpose)

I would have been P I S S E D if our guys DIDN'T tank that football game.  All part of the ultimate goal of WINNING a Super Bowl.


I still question fandom and logic when people try to argue for tanking to climb up the draft boards. I'll take a win any day over finishing last in our division. I'm sure our guys feel the same way.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
