Playoff football in 1985.

 

Yeah, that it. When it comes to Playoff Football. You have to be able to run the ball. We have proven to be just fine in that area. You have to have a decent to great D. We have also proven to have that. All your QB has to do is hit a few passes, and not turn the ball over. 

 

That is Playoff Football. And that is the game we saw today.

They aren’t real fans anyways.  No need to check in on them 

lol just a hilariously stupid comment.

best case scenario, this team makes the playoffs (highly unlikely), and has zero shot at doing anything meaningful when they play real competition. 

their draft position will only push them further away from having a chance to draft their franchise QB, and will be back to deciding between brining back darnold or some other bus from another franchise.

hope everyone loves being stuck in football purgatory, while the young talent continues to get older and their prime years get wasted due to guys like teddy bridgewater, sam darnold, baker mayfield, etc.

keep pounding

I'm not sure I was pro-tank as much as I was pro-get-a-franchise QB-with-only-one-pick. I personally think Young is one but that's my opinion. So now I'm pro-winning every game, then pro-not being satisfied with wherever the draft position is. Like @Aussie Tank said, maybe we just got a bunch of picks back to send them the Houston or Chicago to get our guy, 'cause Darnold ain't it.

Or, for our bargain-hunting lovers, maybe 15 or 17 or wherever we land is for sale and we start collecting picks for '24 and make a move then. That may be a better option, especially if we can end up like Seattle and Detroit with the Broncos and Rams picks.

Yeah, this is not the year to win a dreadful division with a bad record. If we had our QB I'd be all about it. But we need a fuging QB. The higher pick we have the more potential options we'll have. It's really that simple for me.

Tampa Bay had Fournette. They had a very good ground game.

 

The Rams had Ekler who had what? Almost 2000yds?

 

KC had McMannis, or Mcsomething another good back.

 

All had very good ground games. 

 

You don't want to be 1 dimensional in the Playoffs. It's just easier to Run to set up the pass, than to pass to set up the run. Just ask Rodgers.

The rankings are what they are. They weren't good running teams.

What stats do I scoff at? I throw out as many stats as anyone in this board. PFF ratings aren't stats.

 

That's ok. I'm going to continue to believe that good teams, that want a Playoff run, need to be able to run the ball, play good to great D, and have a QB that doesn't give the game away.

 

You can continue to believe that if you aren't throwing the ball all over the yard you are stuck in 1985.

The reality that the last three SB teams were all near the bottom of the league in rushing yardage stung pretty bad. 😂

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
