Heard of crippling loss. Crippling win???

For some franchises that one loss could be remembered for decades, ask Atlanta fans of their SB loss.

Will the win against WSH will haunt us for next 2-3 seasons without a franchise QB?

Without paying hefty price we can't move up in draft / trade for D Watson / M Stafford. 

Every day goes by, that one win is proving expensive

Yes, it sucks that we won that game, however we could have trotted out Jimmy Clausen and still won.  Washington / Haskins were straight up awful.

Nah, Rhule should have trotted PJ out there to "evaluate for the future".  It would have been an easy sale and PJ would have stunk it up.

I'm going to start complaining about the loss to the Chargers in week 3. If only the defense hadn't gotten so many takeaways in that game we could have easily lost and still had the #3 pick. I hope Burns is happy with that strip-sack, it set the franchise back a dozen years.

These aren't really comparable as we had no idea who good/bad we were in week 3. At Washington we very much knew that we were in contention for a top 3 pick.

That is true. But they are exactly equivalent in how much good it does to bring either up in every single thread.

This thread has been posted at least 30 times already. What could we have possibly done to out suck Washington? They had Haskins who couldn’t have played worse, and special teams performed horribly for them that game. We would have had to sit the entire team and that wasn’t possible. Quit crying about everything, it is what it is at this point, we are going to be fine. Almost every loss was by a score so we could have won any of those games and no one would have blinked an eye.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
