Still disrespected...

Not surprising, and I'm not crying about it...

I'm watching the Steelers and Eagles game. The announcers are Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, and Terry Bradshaw... The game is in garbage time in the 4th qtr. The question was asked about which teams would surprise some people this year. Troy Aikman picked St Louis, Terry picked the Lions, and Jow Buck picked the Bucs....

Then the conversation shifted to what a competitive division the NFC South is... They all mentioned The Saints, Falcons, and Bucs... NO FUGGIN mention of the Panthers whatsoever. Not even a respectable (the Panthers are re-building) type mention. Just as if we are not a part of the division whatsoever.

I get it... We were 2-14 last year. We have not one, not two, but three unproven/unreliable QB's... We re signed our own players...

But DAMN... They act like we aren't even in the Division. We as fans are NOT used to be treated like this. (maybe earlier, but not now, and certainly never this disrespected)

I hope that our players are taking notes. I know that Rivera will have our boys ready every week. I know that we will be a competitive football team. I know we do better flying under the radar. All of those commentators I love listening to. I was more than pissed off that we didn't even get mentioned.

To any players that may be lurking. Tell your boys that a little punch in the division foes' mouths is in order. The disrespect is getting out of hand. I mean we're getting treated worse than the Lions got treated when they barely won 2 games for like a decade...

It's time to get our swag back... That's the bottom line.

Why would they. It's not like bad teams rebound after a bad year. They aren't being disrespectful.

Show me a team in recent history who had good season with first year head coaches? Wait, what? Atlanta in 2008, fins in 2008, Ravens since 08, Jets since 09. Umm ok.

Well show me a team that had success with a rookie Qb? Oh Atlanta again, the Jets again, Baltimore, Saint Louis?

Seriously though analyst thinking we will have a bad season isn't a problem. When you're 2-14 that happens. But when people do segments about your division and never mention you, i think that is disrespectful.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      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.
