they pretty much suck.   we need somebody with some fight and ball skills.  ridley has the kind of game that's going to last a long long time.   we were too stupid to take him.   i mean why would we need a great route runner who can also catch the damn ball.

yeah, gonna have to go with the fact kyle allen hasn't been able to hit them consistently when they're wide open. samuel and moore have both improved leaps and bounds and have been largely held back by allen's inaccurate throws and inability to progress through his reads.

trust me when i say if samuel or moore got traded to any other team, they'd have 1000 yard seasons easy.

Curtis Samuel for all the hype he got in the offseason need to get much more aggressive. 

 

When Greg spoke about doing more than running around looking cool, I suspect it may be Samuel. 

I went back and rewatched the game in gamepass last night.

 

Another thing that stuck out to me.  The first Allen endzone int.  It was intended for Moore but was short.

Moore was within a few yards of the defender who picked it.

Moore just sat there.  Didnt even make a play on the ball nor made a play to make a defensive play.  His body language, he just looked disinterested.

 

This new WR coach is trash.

Curtis has immense talent. He's been hurt by Allen sucking but he hasn't been exactly tearing it up himself. I'm disappointed but im far from giving up on him. 

 

DJ has really improved this year

 

Next year with a new qb and new regime will be a make or break for them

High bar, I know, but I’ve seen Steve Smith catch that last route many times with a safety bearing down on his ass. Moose, too.

Agreed. I also feel that both, Allen being meh and WRs being underwhelming, can be true. Samuel and Moore have both improved and have made some great plays. Samuel’s TD catch against TB, I believe, where he went up and got an ill placed throw from Allen was amazing. I think it was the catch Baldinger said Allen places it perfectly (lol it was not).

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
