Well...we wouldn’t have a shot playing for a shootout.  Rams seem to want it to be a shootout.   Which IMO is an odd way to play KC.

Game could have less points.  Rams control that. Gurley has 21 yards and that isn’t because he can’t run all over these boys.  

The only shot we would have is to win a shootout. Our defense isn't stopping or even slowing down any good offenses.

Nah, we should still have to run and limit possessions.  

Because our D sucks as you said....which is another important reason to limit possessions.  The rare stop is more impactful if opportunties are limited.

We also suck at trying to play stall ball on offense. We'd either have to put up points in bunches or get blown out because we'd give up points in bunches.

I think 5 years ago that would be a great play, but the way the NFL is stacking the deck against defenses, I'd rather spend the pick on the O line or TE. 

I really think that defensive players are going to not be allowed to play to their full potential in "today's" NFL. 

You were saying? Aaron Donald has two strip sacks in this game, both leading to turnovers, one directly leading to a defensive TD. I think he has 15.5 sacks on the season now.

We didn't pick until the 28th pick that year wtf you talking about? That's like saying imagine if we had Payton Manning back in the 2000's.

i didnt say anything about draft picks. Just highlighting the night and day performance difference.

We're paying Short $16.1M per season for JAG performance. They're paying Donald $22M per season for GOAT performance. In terms of money, it's not THAT different. They're definitely getting far better bang for their buck.

My original post was about a CB, but yeah, I still stand by my comment  Donald is having a great game though.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
