That or maybe GB would take Wentz in return to bridge/backup Love? Not sure how much cap hit can be transferred to GB.

They were discussing that on WGR this morning and made a similar point. They also said IND would be the clear #2 spot. I agree and think he could similarly own the AFC South. TEN, HOU, and JAX could very well be worse than MIN, CHI, and DET, next year after regression to the mean. Plus, working with Reich, the Indy O-line, and Taylor could be enticing.

Oh me too. But it seems the more likely landing spots are in the AFC. If NFC, maybe CAR, NO, NYG, or WFT. Then again SEA and/or TB could have openings, too...

I think if he leaves GB then Rodgers ends up in IND, PIT, or DEN, in that order of likelihood.

Well, the year the Saints won the Super Bowl, the Bills did not.

I dunno, I bet they get a new one

I do not think it is the only way to go, as I do think a 4-3 scheme can work. BUT, like it or not there are more pass catchers on the field than ever, so more DBs and LBs are going to be on the field anyways. I wonder if you can keep McDermott's general defensive scheme while still going 3-4.

Not reading too much into it. We all thought he would be gone this season. Reads just as much a "thanks for making this season amazing" as it does "thanks for the memories".

It is, but still gotta try. Mack, Ingram, & Ngakoue were all traded recently.

I dunno, I find the the chart interesting because it shows how back & forth and close the game was.

Asking the tough questions! No one in mind yet, but players become available during the off-season. I need to do more research on scheme fit. I would think we could make a deal with a team that has cap issues/is rebuilding, a player whose contract is up after next season, or both.

Unfortunately was his biggest play

… to trade the pick for a premier pass rusher

Never said I like him, just wanted to know your reasoning. Would have been cool w/ Humphrey too, but not against continuing to load the defensive line. Basham was pretty productive in college and flashed this year so I’m hoping he can continue to grow into his role alongside Obada, Epenesa, & Rousseau.

Wait so what don’t you like about Basham?

I always call heads. I think “Tails Never Fails!” annoyed me into that practice.

Agreed. Need that playmaking, gamechanging, plan around him kind of guy. What gives me hope is Beane keeps drafting DEs high & went after the likes of JJ Watt.

I said squib, but would have been fine w/ a sky kick too. Did they have Tyreek deep?

A couple of those were awful. Our DBs just had a hand on the WR’s hip with no jersey grabbing which is 100% allowed.

We definitely don’t suck on defense though. To me it’s coaching not personnel.

How is it that KC mainly using Ward and after losing Mathieu to concussion can basically cancel out Diggs & Knox, but our defense regularly left Hill & Kelce run free?

I hear you, but it’s not like KC’s defense played way better than ours. Thirteen seconds is handled differently or the coin lands on the other side and we’re talking about how our D did just enough to keep us in the game. I will say for the investments made, our defensive line should be generating more sacks. I was going to say pressure, but you can pressure Mahomes for 8-9 seconds and he will still make a play at the end. Need sacks.

Allen is our answer to Mahomes.

The question I keep asking: why rush anyone? Give Mahomes all the time he wants (13+ seconds) and play coverage.

I think we are trending towards being the best team in the AFC over the next 5-10 years.
