    a Christmas miracle!

    We won a stinking game, Miracle? Yeah, I suppose the missed kick with no time left was Divine intervention.

    Thought they were going to blow it for sure.

    Good for them to finally win one, but I'd rather it be next week.

    Now please go ahead and beat the Squealers New Years. I've come to the opinion the 49ers probably suck worse than the Browns anyway. Bye-bye #1 pick. Checked the standings- we can't finish any worse than the #2 pick regardless.

    Sorry...the Rams suck worse than both Cleveland and the Niners and they mortgaged their future for a really shitty QB.

    I spoketh too soon Mark saw those sucky Niners actually won. Hate to say it Mark- GO RAVENS! So the Steelers have to play their starters. You wouldn't want a win against their scrubs, or would you? 🙂

    This win was incredibly important to every player, coach, equipment man, groundskeeper, etc. Nobody wants the winless tag attached to them.

    So did anyone else notice the fact the we did NOT play off zone coverage and played WAY WAY more press man coverage. I have no problem with horton if he keeps that up every game. We still need to address our QB issues Robert was awful today dink,dunk run or get sacked was all he had. Occasionally throw up a ball and hope for a flag. Offensively we did just enough to win and got extremely lucky with penalties going against SD. We also got away with more than SD did. Reminded me a lot of an OSU game to be honest.

    Good win. I am still very concerned with our direction as an offense we are still an ineffective bunch but hopefully a new QB some Lineman maybe a WR or RB will get us somewhere. Defensive we made some mistakes still have miscommunication issues BUT we actually got to see our secondary and backers play man up with the opposing team. The players were asked to make plays rather than the opposing team make mistakes and today it showed. 19 games before we played an afc north defense against someone. Nothing i hate worse in football than playing off coverage.

    I agree with that.

    However, Pryor was interfered with in the end zone on a long pass. That was kind of a BIG one that SD got away with.

    If SD would've blitzed us up the middle all day long we may never have gotten a first down. - We need an offseason to get help for the OL.

    Meder saved the day with a great FG block. But the reality is that we need an offseason to get help for the DL so that he doesn't have to be a starter. (disclaimer: I don't like to have to say stuff like that about a player......but it's part of being a fan of the team)

    Nassib had one tackle in each of the two previous games. Today he had a tackle AND an assist.

    We had to use RG3 as an option running QB. If we hadn't, we wouldn't have won (with our current OL). But we cannot use a QB in that manner and expect to have him as QB for the entire season. And I don't like him as a passer enough to want him as our starting QB of the future. Kessler seems like the backup QB of the future.

    Seth Devalve had a nice catch for us. Set up a TD it did. But he was dinged on the reception and I didn't see him again. He always seems to be hurt.

    There is much to do this offseason in order to get to the point where WE can pass (and have time to pass) and the opponent does NOT get the time to pass. As Joe Banner said, "It's pass and rush the passer"

    Yup Griffin finally had a 1\2 decent game. Want to know what scares me the most? Hue is still gonna feel the Earth moving with Griffin, stick with him, not draft a qb high in 2017. And Runnin' Robert will get KOed the first game of 2017. "There are no old running qbs in the NFL."

    Until we get a decent Oline with experience there is no point in drafting a rookie qb. Why get a new qb with a new oline? Build a kick ass oline out of FA and maybe then talk about drafting a QB or keep Kessler, And as for our D..............I would not even know where to start

    nobody "cheered" for him to do well against us. We're acknowledging that he would have made a heck of a Brown. Yet another stud pass rusher/run defender we passed on. It is what it is. But yeah im an OSU homer so I hope he does well in the NFL, even against us. HOpe we beat the chargers but also want him to do well.

    No worries. I'm sure you cheered your ass off watching him get 2 sacks yesterday. He's your boy! There were a couple "stay right there Joey, I'm coming to right to you" moments from RG3. One time he ran by him the other time he couldn't.

    Even though we didn't sack Rivers per say, I thought it was one of our best days of pressuring a QB enough to hurry many throws. I loved some of those blitzes while the gamble also got scary at times looking at a wide open Antonio Gates. Rivers also got saved by a nice wing span from a tall WR on a few of those heavy pressures. I compare those throws to the 1 end zone throw RG3 made to Half-pint Hawkins; and the only thing I could think of was how many WRs at least 5'10" tall could have made that catch. But what a difference it makes to have a QB with pocket presence and an ability to read a defense fast enough to avoid sacks during heavy pressure the way Rivers did it repeatedly.

    We're heading into Bowl season where many will watch Trubisky run a college offense. I've seen 1 start in his very small body of work; and I liked how well he ran what he was trained to do. If I'm being honest, I think he should be projected to go somewhere between where Teddy B and Derek Carr went as opposed to where our first 2 picks will be. There's going to be some opinions generated on how well he does vrs Stanford (regardless of how good or bad their defense may be). The last time I saw a QB look impressive vrs Stanford in a Bowl game it was Weeden out-dueling Andrew Luck 41-38 after struggling early. He looked nothing like that in the NFL because of how drastic the changes were.

    When I continue to see guys like Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott outperforming some higher projected QBs - I'm reminded the pre-draft criteria doesn't include some very important variables perpetuating why it's still an inexact science. All the pre-draft workouts QB prospects will go through are without bad pass protections/pass rushers hurrying throws to well covered receivers on styles of offenses counting on inexperienced passers to read progressions against more complicated coverage schemes than they've been exposed to. Will 1 matchup with Stanford tell us if Trubisky is any more ready for Cleveland than Weeden was? The ability to only start 1 year concerns me enough to re-ask the question - what makes him the answer all our prayers when he wasn't exactly the answer to all of NC's prayers in a weak conference? It doesn't mean I don't like the kid as much as trading back up to #22 overall for QBs prospects that aren't worthy of round 1 has KILLED us a few times.

    I'm leaning toward not wanting a QB in round 1 in 2017. Of all the QBs in this next draft, Chad Kelly has beaten Bama in 2015 before putting up the best scoreboard against them in 2016. Several SEC teams didn't even score an offensive TD vrs Bama this year. I'd rather shore up our defense with our first 2 picks and go for a guy like Kelly later. When you think about it, his best WR at Ole Miss in 2015 couldn't even crack Minnesota's starting lineup this year. I'm not sure where Kizer is going to go - but I'm open to him as well after round 1. Both kids look like they can make better decisions at times. Kelly also had a season ending ACL in jury midway through last season so he'll miss a lot of workouts which could keep him available for a bargain shopper.
