after watching the throttling the Oline got and the cripple secondary anyone else curious as to why Gettlemen hasnt really made a roster move? Is he turning a blind eye? Telling Rivera to win with what hes got?

Yes...

Our secondary last year allowed a league best completion %

Our OL last year was playing with fire in terms if keeping Cam healthy and being able to run basic plays consistantly.

Gettlemen ignored them. Ignored every weakness. Drafted to build his NY inspired DL and gave Ron a couple bandaids at WR....he technically has to have guys with somewhat comparable salaries anyway.

Hurney and his mess isn't universal defense for everything

Wasn't Eifert our second choice if Star wasn't there? So Gettleman pretty much acknowledged that a 2nd TE was needed and never went after one in FA, unless he thought Brandon Williams was going to solve that problem. Which is laughable.

We know HC and GM had different opinions on early picks. I think GM won....

I think Ron wanted the TE and believed a 2nd round DT was sufficient

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
