I bet. I got 9-7 without much trouble, but if the Jets or Phins are suddenly good there could be a swing there. If we win more than 1 of the first 4, maybe we do better? Sounds crazy maybe I'm still on a koolaid hangover.

IK should have been a boxer, because all he's known for is punching people.

Exactly, if you have a QB competition and one of the QB clearly outplays the other two, you have to start him. Otherwise it was never a real competition and Josh should have gotten all the 1st team reps the whole time. I'm pulling for Nate. His quick throws will definitely lead to INT's, no doubt about that; but we may be able to move the ball better with him.

1 General for Kevin 3 of us, but just 1 pickup truck.... Can't wait. You guys will have to heckle my buddy since he's a Charger fan.

I hope you are right. We really need a good punter, Schmidt has been bad. Even more than the punter, I would like it to see Beane and co. manifest verifiable competence.

Idk, I could see them carrying 4TE. If the OL is going to be the weakness of weaknesses, throwing extra TE's in there to block will probably be commonplace, and Thomas and Clay are likely to line up wide sometimes. Not saying it will happen but it seems reasonable to me... As far as WR goes I don't even want to make a shot in the dark, though I sense McCloud will get plenty of chances. Alot of this starts at the top (QB). Who starts I think will drive decisions as well. If Josh does start, I could see alot more of the younger guys at WR and TE so he can get chemistry with them (assuming that starting Josh is tantamount to punting this season). If Nate starts it will probably be more vets like Holmes and maybe leavimg 1 or 2 TEs inactive. I realize that doesn't entirely answer the OP, but that's what I think.

There are arguments on both sides. He has done "fine" so far be my definition. For the sake of continuity, if it was my decision, I would leave Beane and McDermott in their post for 5 years. At the end of that time, re-evaluate and change if neccesary. The NFL seems to run in 2 year coaching/GM cycles nowadays, but then nobody ever really gets to implement their full system with players who are a fit. I would like to see it be more routine to keep coaches around for much longer, so long as they show promise (as McD and Beane obviously have). For these reasons, I contend that any attempts to fire Beane OR McD now would be nothing short of foolhardy.

Yeah that is my thought process. I think Shady's big games are past him as well. My real concern is that there is NO trade market at all for 30+ RBs on decline. But I was wrong about AJM being tradable, so maybe Shady gets moved.

Not back-tracking. It's not about me "being behind", I just provided commentary as any crowd laughs when something funny happens. I read your post and it was hilarious. You can parse it out to try and defend it, it doesn't change the comic gold that you provided with that post!

No need to get defensive, but it's freakin hilarious when you acted like people were stupid for thinking what happened would happen. Just quoting when you said AJ "doesn't add value" to the Raiders.... The exact team he got traded to. So apparently they did value him. Not in a Mack trade, but so what. Still funny. But, you know, carry on freaking out trying to prove that you are vindicated on something that doesn't matter to a bunch of folks you don't even know and will probably never meet.

Not sure if you are serious, but I would be ok with this. Shady will be long gone before (if) we are relevant again.

You were saying? Classic!

Peterman... ...until we are out of playoff contention, then Josh the rest of the way.

Man he is so talented... but definiyely NOT a process guy. We are desperate at WR though so I wonder at what point McD starts to think he can handle a diva or two. I hope it's not now, but I could justify it if it happens.

That is the first thing that jumped out at me. Haha great. That 200 something page thread of his was top notch trollery.

So this thread is because he didn't give up 2 1st's for Mack? I mean, I know it is even though his name isn't even in this thread. Idk how Beane will be remembered, but right now all the balls are up in the air, amd we need them to fall to see what we have. The book is not ywt written on him. And for the record, Whaley's Watkins trade was far worse than Beane's Watkin's trade.

Ramsey is quickly putting himself in the "boy who cried wolf" category. People are going to stop listening.

What a gut punch that would be, after waiting all this time for him to retire. Plus I want to beat up on them for awhile once the pendulum swings back.

The article says it was a mistake, but I can't help but wonder if it could possibly be a joke by someone, only because of the team they switched us with- Cincy Is it crazy to think this might be a joke/prank at the Bills or Bengals expense? Pretty funny if so.

There's no value in a trade right now. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but it would be a thin trade package. Makes more sense to me to play the season, and if he or Peterman do ok then trade them for something or someone of relative value next offseason. Let me also say NOTHING would surprise me at this point beyond the 8 or so guys that are unmovable.

Ok, so I hit play on the video... They are sitting inches away from each other but are texting on their phones. We are doomed

Yup thanks to the likes of Richard Sherman and Conor MacGregor and the like... Now you can talk ****, and everybody thinks you are better than you are, and you get PAID

Yeah I'm not buying that... ...and since there is no proof either way, I'll stick to caution. Not saying a little pressure can ruin a guy, but if the OL is historically bad, anyone would get a little aprehensive when a DL or LB is in the backfield on every play before you can even make a 3 step drop. More than that... Honestly, why risk it?

You don't leave it in the garage forever... You just wait for the summer.

For real. Gotta look at the macro. Anyone focusing solely on this upcoming year when making that decision just isn't paying attention. No thanks to getting Josh killed in a year where we aren't real contenders anyway.
