I mean pretty much everyone is taking this win with a grain of salt. There’s a lot left to prove.

but it is also possible to see some good things we did yesterday unless you are just a miserable person

Some good things, yes.  You can't win a game and not have some good things happen.  I'm a big picture guy and one win against a really bad Saints team isn't swaying my opinion of what needs to occur for this team to finally get o the right track.  Rhule will get a few more wins this year, no doubt, but ultimately it's up to Tepper to do the right thing and get a new HC.  My biggest fear is we get to 6 or 7 wins by season's end, not realistically in the playoff hunt and Tepper points to a couple games improvement over his 5 game barrier as cause to retain Rhule.

Seen a lot of apologizing for Herbert but that didn’t matter. He still threw for 300 yards. Jacksonville dominated the game and they were scoring all day.

Just saw word that Rashawn Slater is out for the year.

Herbert probably needs to prepare himself to take a few more hits 😕

Yep. I did find it funny that in one of the Herbert excuse articles they mentioned Slater being out as one of his OL being missing for the game. The score was like  23-7 or 30-10 at the point Slater went down. Herbert wasn’t at tip top but that’s football and OL get hurt, but Slater got hurt when the game was already over. It’s just funny when one of the new league favorites loses, they get articles like those. Pretty sure Herbert isn’t too young to get a call. 

Brandon Staley has been getting loads of attention since last year.

This season might be a "come back down to earth" moment.

Some seem to forget how close we actually were in winning the first two games as well (despite all our weaknesses)........

No one forgets. It's that we're always close and we never close. This is a chronic problem that has been going on a very long time. At some point you have to move past the point of *we'll make it over the hump someday" to "this team just can't get it figured out"

We had this discussion regarding Rhule's "we're close" comments.

Truth is a relatively small percentage of NFL games are outright blowouts. Most games are close, but people mistake the idea that consistently losing games by a small margin means something positive.

Losing is losing too...by an inch, or a mile, it's still losing.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
