I’m sorry for his family. Way too young to pass.

We need the best OT possible. Whether we move up or down.

Youre right No Huddle. It is so hard to put you’re pants on everyday and keep moving forward.

His life is a lot easier now, and probably making even more money on NFLR, Westwood One, and anything else he is doing. I agree it would be fun but not likely.

Mango, thanks for sharing and just awful. I’m so sorry for his family. I hope he has faith and a strong support network to get through it. Those losses don’t go away quickly.

I would love Brady to play. The whole game and get hit multiple times and finish the game, but wouldn’t mind him getting some small injury that would only give him a week to heal up. I too never want to see a player like Garroppo lose his season at the beginning of it. I never wish for a career ending injury or something so serious he is out for a year. It’s not my way or my faith as much as I want them to lose. Rooting for someone to be permanently getting hurt is just wrong.

I’m fine with a separate thread. Easy to capture, and yes he is worth what he will paid. Love the Kyle went out as it was special,but wished he would have given one more year as he could still play well. I’m sure he has other interests with children and his volunteer work. Great that Lorax. Is up for the Walter Payton award. Thanks for sharing OP.

They both need lots of help, but happy the duty to warn mandate worked this time by professionals.

Sorry NRC.

KJ - Thanks for sharing. I don’t normally talk about it, but my mom died unexpectedly on my 40th birthday, and my middle son was born at 28 weeks at only 2lbs. 4 ounces. On top of it there were severe complications with my wife who almost died several times. God willing Ryan is great, and Diane came through it after months of treatment. I only share this personal info. As I might have some small understanding of how he must feel. I was very blessed not to lose my wife or son, but there isn’t a day I don’t thank God for their health and my mom’s peace. i wish only the best for NCR, and am sure he must have a good support network to get him through it. A parent should never have to bury their child. I can only imagine his pain. God bless NCR AND I’ll say prayers for you.

He should never be a head coach again, but McDermitt has a knack for hiring very experienced coaches.

Old Man I agree. It’s not easy to move at 20 to MLB and captain of the defense. He has a ton of raw talent and with an off season to prepare vs. last spring training for the combine, etc. I bet we’ll see improved play next year.

Agreed on the Chargers defensive game plan. Why they didn’t switch to press man to man and at least going after Brady, preferably up the A gap. Bradley was a terrible coach in Jax and he blew all of that talent Sunday. If he started with this plan and quickly adapted after seeing what the Patriots were doing I would understand. It reminds me of the stupid notion to keep passing no huddle in SB25. Thurmond ran I believe for 145 yards in a small amount plays. If they kept running, that would force Belicheck to place more guys on the line and we could then pass effectively. I know ancient history, but Belicheck is up there with Lombardi and Paul Allen as the best coaches of all time, as much as I hate losing to them twice a year.

The only thing that will make this narrative go away are repeated playoff showings. He looks to me like the best we have since Kelly. Sure he has a lot to learn, but I choose to be optimistic. I’m sick of hearing from Coach Weiss how inaccurate and such a high risk picks. I swear the man takes notes from Schoop and the Bulldog as he can be so rude to some callers. I don’t understand why some radio hosts don’t know or want to be cordial or agree to disagree with their customers. Sorry, I know a tangent. Yes, I know the answer is don’t listen to him, and I normally don’t as I’ve made up my mind. I stopped listening to WGR in the afternoon over a year ago. I echo the other poster who thanked you for the homework put into this post by the OP.

This was a nice list to review, and we should pick up some pretty good people. I don’t why AB wasn’t on that list as Kareem Hunt and AB, along with a couple of Guards and a Center (at least two). These additions we can afford, and a solid draft will make a dramatic difference to this team.

Funny, I thought the Pats game would be closer and this game would be a blowout for the Saints. I screwed that one up. Nice to have a good game to watch. I’m always a little sad as we only have two games next week and have to wait two weeks for the SB. Then 7 months of purgatory.

Pat Kirwan mentioned this week both Foles and Wentz is a total of $24 mil so for the Eagles it would be great to keep him, but he can get a five year deal which is really 3 somewhere else, and probably get $55-60 mil guaranteed with. Another team. i would leave if I were him. There are more than enough teams who need a QB. HE’ll get a nice deal somewhere. Maybe Jax or Miami. Those teams are going to move on from their starters. Flacco I bet goes to the Jags. Maybe the Redskins. Lastly, the Broncos. We’ll see. I’m happy for him given his faith. He is a very good role model as well as clutch in the best games.

I cant believe Brees threw a pick on the first play of the game.

I agree, and wouldn't be surprised if they also pick up 1hunt who will be out for six games, but a fantastic downhill runner. I know he did something terrible, but not sure of all the facts. As I've said before, Guards and Centers will be the target as well in free agency as they cost less than tackles, and draft tackles.

BB - I hear you, but still am going to root for the Chiefs. The young exciting kid against the true veteran in Brees. How much is Miami regretting not taking Brees like Sagan wanted. That is known as the reason he went to AL. As far as the college coaches, why would you ever leave for the NFL. Crazy turnover in the pros and stability if you recruit well in college football.

Thanks bud.

H2O, you must have been really bored with the Chargers game (understandably) to write this extensive of a post. The problem forecasting the draft is not knowing what we do in free agency. I’ll start paying attention to mock drafts after free agency is over. Not a knock on you big guy, and appreciate how thorough you were in you’re post. God, please let the second game be more competitive. Next week should be fun.

I understand both sides on the time, but they could have the west coast teams play later in the day. I know it’s all about ratings, but they could have flipped these games.

Enough of this game. I just can’t watch anymore. Problem is the Saints will probably crush the Eagles later today.

The Jets are probably in rebuild mode as well. It’s going to be another ugly AFCE next year.
