  • Guys, it's the same thing I say every year. The process to be a winner in the NFL as a rebuilding franchise (which we absolutely 100% are) is not to add a 30 something WR for 1/2 the season and lose draft capital. If you want to add a 30 something guy for a veteran presence in the off-season, sure. Now just isn't the time. The arrow is actually pointing upward in a lot of spots, we just have to let the young guys play a bit.

    I’m on board with adding an adequate tackle to protect Baker, but I can’t recall a team dumping a talented LT.

    I’m not comfortable with Des Harrison, he’s just not there yet.

  • No doubt our LGBTs....errr...LBs  have been a disappointment.   Collins/Kirksey  not playing up to previous levels.  Schobert hurt.   Has Avery helped...or is he looking like a 5th round rookie.  I just know that opposing runners have been scorching this run defense badly at times.   At other times, they seem to do well.  They are inconsistent, at best.

    Word was Garrett questioning Gregg's scheme of having the D-line jumping around, instead of playing the base defense that worked (sort of) the first game. Steelers excellently guessed where the holes were.... 

    @the-gipper said:

    So, I guess rounds 1,2 are "early rounds".  Rounds 3,4,5 are "mid rounds", and  6, 7 are late rounds?

    Rounds 1-3 are considered "premium picks."   So 4-5 are mid, and 6-7 late.  There's extra value in the top pick in round 2, and round 4, because teams have the evening to meditate who's still there and may want to make a jump to get a player they really want.  

  • Ty Montgomery to the Ravens, 2020 7th rounder

    Good christ.  As if they needed more help.  

  • Ty Montgomery was basically traded for a bag of chips for being a douchehat and bringing that kickoff out of the endzone with 2:05 left in a 2 point game.

    Can't coach stupid or selfish.... I literally started laughing when he took that first step and I knew he was coming out with it!

    Sounded from the reports after the game that it was totally selfish as he was told specifically to take a knee if the ball goes into the end zone.

  • Ha Ha Clinton Hue traded to the Skins 

  • The NFL never used to be this trade heavy did it? 

    I like it

    I  know, they look absurd.  What gives me hope is that they were an absolute train wreck two years ago, they fired Jeff Fisher, and now their #1 pick QB looks like a helluva player.  We can do the same thing!  ?

    See ya in February.  Don't let the door hit you on your negative ass on the way out.

    This was our number one need. We should have pulled out all stops. I had read Joe Staley was available and under contract through next season. We must protect Baker and over paying makes sense to aid his development. He could get by with our receivers if he had to but not while running for his life.

    What did you expect? A trade for Odell Beckham? You may have thrown in the towel- then as Mark suggested, take a nap until February, and start reading those Draft magazines that should be coming out shortly.   It's not about this year. Dorsey has been shopping around and he determined the price of available trade targets was too high. 

    It would have been asinine to give Detroit our third round pick (likely to be a high one) for a 30 year old Golden Tate. As to trading for a LT, and for sure Harrison isn't getting it done- rather move Bitonio out there instead. 

  • We could of F U C K I N G done something....oh wait no cap room....I love Dorsey but......what an Fn joke today sitting on our thumbs!!!
