Everyone knows that we have a very tough matchup against ATL this weekend. The week after that we have the Seahawks, who currently have 8(!) sacks in the first half against the Packers.

The two areas of most concern are defense (can't stop run, terrible gameplans, nonexistent adjustments) and the offensive line play.

It is sobering to watch Russel Wilson out there looking like a seasoned pro. I can only imagine what Cam would look like in a more classic offensive style (one with actual heavy set running plays). I'm starting to think Chud might have drank too much of his own kool-aid this offseason.

Anyway, I think it's totally possible we turn this around. We just played the #1 defensive line in the league and an elite QB that picked us apart. We won't see another line that great, but Seattle is looking really really really scary. The coaches better step up their f'ing games, or heads should be rolling before the season is over.

I guess some good news is that know the entire country thinks we suck butt, so maybe we can sneak up on some teams.

if this is going to be a bad season and we see no coaching improvements, i honestly hope it's like 4-12 which is a top 5 and gives JR a reason to clean house instead of linger around at like 6-10 or so again because he'd probably give them another year. there is absolutely no excuse for us finishing with a worse record than we did last year

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
