I know there are some Reid nut huggers on here.  But he is never in position...ever.  He stands in the middle of the field and never breaks early enough to the WR making the play.  He doesn’t watch the eyes of the QB and seems to lack ball skills.

his two picks?  Both bad overthrows with a receiver no where around...to the middle of the field where Reid is always standing, stuck in concrete.  It’s no coincidence that our defense got even worse when Reid stepped in, and has not progressed since.  I understand that Colin Jones isn’t that good...but he’s not this bad.

So you're prepared to make the same comments about Luke?   He's pretty much been exactly what you're complaining about Reid, all year.

Sounds like Luke to me.

He's not great, but signing him was the right call. He's absolutely better than anyone on the roster behind him. The main problem with Reid is that the league has simply evolved past old school in the box big hitting safeties. You gotta be able to cover at the safety position in today's NFL because they've essentially outlawed running around and just laying people out. Reid would've been a much better player if he'd been born 20 years earlier.

OP is a fuging idot. Reid has been one of our best players. I can't even count the number touchdown saving tackles he's made after our front seven misses multiple opportunities to bring down a ball carrier. The problems with this defense (and team overall) are all in the trenches. We're missing tackles at the point of attack and not getting to the QB enough. Thank god for Eric Reid.

Luke has been guessing wrong and been out of position all year long lol.  Him leaving his run fit multiple times today got us gashed for big runs.  I saw Reid made one bad missed tackle today, and that was it.  If you're being honest, Luke has been a much bigger problem.  Actually, the LB corps in general, along with the front 4 has been poo, and that's likely what will cause this team to fall out of playoff contention.

On a day where a RB averaged over 8 ypc on us, we couldn't get pressure, James Bradberry was morphed into Kenny Golladay's bitch, Funchess decided to be Funchess and drop every fuging meaningful pass, and Gano couldn't hit water from the middle of the fuging ocean, you decide to single out Eric Reid?  Lol.  Just lol.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Adios and good night, done talking about what we should have done but it’s weird when anti-tankers try and get back on the high horse.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Yes. Fitt said he liked Young for two years. He hitched his wagon to him. Reich and Young were going 2-15, nothing I said we should get would have saved him. A new coach plus Tepper (and Morgan) would have wanted the draft assets we kept or got to be used by a better GM/Coach. SMH, you need to read my post and your own again. You said: “So we should have sold off all of our talent and what?” I was being sarcastic that they still were in the roster because the guys you are saying we shouldn’t have sold off got sold off anyway but instead of getting full value, we got scraps. We had an opportunity to sell at the highs and instead we let the stocks lose 50-75% and then sold them. Because we didn’t tank in 2022 when the Rams basically handed the idea to us, we either set the team back several years to where we won’t do anything and will be back at the drawing board or kept enough talent off the team that we may make the playoffs but we still won’t be a top team like an extra handful of 1st rounders could have gotten us.
