ok ok I know people were expecting some stupid drink, but no. With the restructures and pay cuts going on which do you think has happened. Has Gettlemen put fear into players to take a paycut and risk getting paid less in free agency by another team or is there some new flavor of koolaid about next season Gettleman has the players drinking and has them convinced they are superbowl bound?

So far he's restructured Kalil, saving millions. The stewart restructure wasn't huge but it was something I suppose. Now this Nakamura deal. saving another 500k, which again isn't much. I'm just thinking he's saving the best for last. Right now he's honing in on the small things that he can do without cutting players. I just wonder what he will do with DeAngelo, Beason, Gamble, Gross.

I'm guessing he will restructure most of them to the point that it will alleviate the cap but we will keep the players and CUT one.

I really have a good feeling about our current players and staff. That's including Rivera. I feel like he's someone the players want to play and win for. Now with Gettleman hired we can instill a winning mentality and better decision making financially and talent wise. Pulling the trigger on trades, FA acquisitions etc.

He still hasn't touched any of the problem children....

Jury is still out until he actually does or doesn't look at the real problematic deals

What we don't know is what Gettleman has already in the works. For example is he trying to restructure Gamble or perhaps trying to trade him?? If all that fails then will he cut him? If that were the case, then we won't hear much until close to March 13th. He might be exploring several scenarios with a number of players which means he can't announce anything until he hears back from other teams who might be still waiting to see who else is cut or released.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
