    what about cutting Payton or Higgins or Louis(who were all out played by Gabe)??......Gabe was not a slot WR, like Hawk....he played wide most of the time. Might be short like Hawk, but thats where the comparables stop.....

    Don't forget about Seth DeValve!

    You don't expect the FO to cut one of THEIR draft picks do you?

    That would be like admitting they were wrong.

    Actually I would hope they'd admit they made a mistake. Vince Mayle from 2015. Looks like DeValve needs a Valve job,and Lewis can't catch a cold.

    As Mud has pointed out- this current incarnation of the FO isn't above criticism, not by a long shot.

  • I feel like we might win this week.

    Somebody is gonna fall asleep against us.

    Dallas seems about ready for a nap.

    Agree, even Ray Farmer cut his own pick (Mayle) which shows he made a mistake.

    I believe there's much more arrogance in the current FO and they wouldn't admit to being wrong.

    Given a choice between Devalve and Gabe... I'd keep Gabe. I won't mount an similar defense of our FO vs. other WRs, but I think Devalve has a chance to be special.

    And this is coming from a Gabe backer... who doesn't remember much support for Gabe at the time.

    Agree... I've heard us referred to as a "trap game". An 0-fer team as the opponent in the middle of a Philly/Pittsburgh sandwich certainly is the right set up.

  • I went back and read the roster cut threads and....basically....folks were "surprised" that Gabe was cut and many felt that he'd had a strong camp and preseason.....(myself included.....I had him making the final roster)......

    BUT....no one was upset and the consnsus seemed to be:

    1) he was cut because he was too short.....

    2) he was cut because Higgins and Payton were gonna be stars

    3) he was cut because we already had Hawkins

    My response to those arguments is:

    1) he's big enough(and fast enough) to make plays....

    2) Um....not seeing it so far....

    3) he's not a slot....why do people keep saying this????

    And....he can return......we cut him, Moore and Gilbert.....has anyone looked at out return stats this year???.....last year was 25 yd avg.....this year = 17 yd avg........horrible horrible horrible....

    Moore, Gabe and/or Gilbert returning kicks would look pretty damn good right about now...

    Price wouldn't have been that steep. We may have "wanted" him, but not in any appreciable way.

    We didn't have the first pick. And we traded the second. This year we might well have the first. I hope they aren't in love with Watson or Kyzer.

    Point is when you're a whopping one pick away from the guy you feel can be your franchise QB, you pull the trigger on that trade. I don't think they felt Goff was, given that they didn't pull said trigger.

    They thought picks were more important than Wentz too. As usual, we have almost noting to show for the trade down. How are are those extra Wrs working out?

  • We'll get a win.

    Somebody will fall asleep against us one of these weeks...

    Dallas was napping and still beat the tar out of us. Speaking of- it looked like the Browns defense was asleep most of the game. Can't tackle, can't pass rush (I think Prescott might have been harassed once) and sure can't pass defend. those two Cowboy TDs were downright disgusting with nary a defender in the same area code.

    I've decided to try out for the Browns DB slot that uncovers everyone in sight. If they allow me to carry my racquetball racquet I have as good a shot at throwing it and hitting the ball as our DB's do at interception.

  • No wrist strap?

    I did get to watch that second abomination at my pal's house on replay after the game. Looked like Calhoun? decided to help double cover the WR over the middle. Golly gee, no one has that guy split out wide. Any HS qb would have seen that,and made the throw.

    If it's the TD to Beasley, it's Haden and Williams miscommunicating, worryingly.

    I'm saving it back for the neck tie party for this FO after the 2017 draft. 😄
