OBJ Hasn't been a relevant player in the league since his 3rd season. After he got paid, he's never been the same.

Why? Their performance was unacceptable last week too, as well as the game before that.

We have as much depth as you can expect any team to have. Lack of talent is not really an excuse for what happened today.

I think a speedster WR is one of the last things we need. Every WR we have is fast besides Beasley and Kumerow. We need a 3 down RB and help in the trenches on both sides. We still can't get pressure on 4 man rushes. I saw some more BS about how Jerry Hughes is generating a top 5 pass rush, but I feel like it's been nearly a decade since he was actually any real threat to opposing QBs.

Brieda is one of the fastest RB's in the league. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/top-plays/fastest-ball-carriers/2019/REG/all

I find it interesting that an offensive line that has had largely the same cast for 3 season is suddenly garbage. It's undeniable that they're playing like garbage, but how much of this blame lies on the coaches and how much lies on the players? They were good enough last year to be ranked PFF's 10th best unit, yet the same personnel is now the NFL's worst? I don't buy that these guys all of a sudden can't play football. I think it's far more likely that they're being exploited by what they put out there on tape, and they're refusing to adjust to the adjustments of other teams. Mitch Morse isn't great and Cody Ford is pretty clearly not cut out to be a starting NFL player, but Ike was very good most of last season, and Dawkins and Williams have plenty of tape to show they can play. Even when Feliciano was in, he wasn't playing well either. Yes, the players have to go out there and get it done, but when guys have shown you in the past that they're good enough, and now they look awful, that's exactly a coaching staff's responsibility to address. They need to diagnose exactly what's going on and make positive steps to address it. Maybe it's a player move, a coaching change, or a scheme adjustment, but ultimately they're responsible when guys don't get it done. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2020-offensive-line-rankings

Allen was embarrassed today. The Jags pulled his pants down all afternoon and he didn't even bother pulling them up. His o-line was hot garbage, his receivers had critical drops, and the playcalling seemed to be horrible most of the day. Still, Josh's decision making was abysmal. Honestly it's been a problem throughout the year from my seats. He's just so good of a talent (as is most of the rest of the team) that he keeps overcoming it, but something is off with him this year. There were like 10 plays today that could have made this a W, but that shouldn't have even been the issue. We should have beat this team by 30.

Tough to do that when Breida is inactive

And yet he's an infinite upgrade over the alternative. I didn't vote for him and I never will, but I'm glad he beat the other guy. That's really all that matters when your choice was a ***** sandwich or a vomit covered ***** sandwich

When you live in a society, you get to share the cost of living in that society. It's part of the deal. Unless you make around 400k, close to 10% of that 30% is going directly to services that fund seniors (medicare and SS), so while you're technically paying for today's seniors you can really think of it as paying for your own future care. I agree with you on the lobbing missiles bit, and there is plenty of corruption and waste. Taxes are a necessity in a capitalist society though. If you're interested in doing away with that altogether, I'm listening.

It seems to me that you have "The left" confused with "Liberals" and liberals confused with "conservatives" here. The actual left has nothing to do with liberals or Democrats and the things you seem to be crying about on the left has been the republican platform for decades. "Conservatives" want to tell you: What medical procedures you're allowed to have What bathroom you're allowed to use Who you can marry What you're allowed to eat/smoke/drink and when what you can teach in schools and what you cant What you're allowed to protest and how That the government can kill you for any reason at any time And that's before we even get into the whole situation about how they forcibly allow other people to infringe on your rights to safety and security. Liberals are mostly just conservatives when it comes to their big business cronyism, but on the social side they prefer to make empty gestures which ends up being better than the conservative goal of making life as horrible as possible for anyone besides old rich white christian men.

Maybe Biden will finally grow up and stop believing in magical wizards that live in the sky and care about what types of medical procedures are allowed for women or what kind of food you can eat on Fridays. Glad to see you kids couldn't stay away in Trumptardville for more than a couple months. Glad to have you all back.

It's real, but it's been a bad couple of weeks for the photography profession.

The Browns couldn't beat Chad Henne who did everything he could to hand them the game. That said, the Browns got a lot better on paper this offseason. It's going to come down to Mayfield I think. If he takes a leap forward, they'll be very tough to beat and should have us eclipsed in talent.

If OverTheCap is accurate, Hughes can be traded for a $2.1M cap hit and a $7M cap savings. I know he finished out last season with a top grade, but at 33 in the last year of his deal, with 3 1/2nd round DE's now on the roster, I'd almost be shocked if they didn't try to trade him. Addison had his worst year in 8 years, but I think he's a much better player than he was last year. That said, they could both be out. If not, one of Epenesa, Rousseau, or Basham is all but guaranteed to spend a lot of time inactive this year, which would be weird. If we could use that money to go after Ertz or Bell, I would be all over it.

I mean he's only [insert age here]. Look at all the potential. They shouldn't, but they will. I wanted to see them draft his replacement this year, but it seems they're going to be content with what they've got. Maybe he finally breaks out this year, but thus far his play hasn't warranted keeping him at that price.

It was between a b and a c+ for me, but I gave it a B. I don't have any problems with the players they picked, but I don't love that they picked them. I'm not against the idea of double dipping if you need to nail a position (especially something like QB), but it's a bit weird that they chose to do it on DE and OT. We have two excellent OT's locked up long term, and I really would have preferred going after players that can help us now instead of 2-3 years from now. As for the DE's, I mean they spent a 2nd on Epenesa last year, so 3 picks in the top 60 going to DE's is a bit much there. Rousseau is a really intriguing physical specimen, but I hate drafting a project in the 1rst round. Basham looks ready to contribute right away though. I would have preferred they find a way to get JOK - either trade down or up, as I believe he would have given us an X-factor impact player that we sorely lack on D. He could have been used to cover TE's and do pass rushing to offset the discipline knock on him. I also would have used all the picks I had at the back of the draft to try to get into the 4th or another 5th, because I think it's not impossible that none of the final 4 picks make this team - at least to start. tl;dr They could end up with 3+ eventual starters from this class, but not sure they help us make a SB push in the next 2 years.

I think the final nail is hovering for his spot on the roster at all.

Maybe call Patrick Willis while you're at it.

Allen holds the ball longer than just about anyone, so there are a lot of situations where his safety valve doesn't have much opportunity for YAC. I'd like to see him get better at identifying when the checkdown is the best option quickly. The way he plays now allows for a lot of huge plays, but it can be a killer if those don't materialize. Guys like Brady made their careers within a few yards of the LoS. If Josh can do that as well as drill the ball in tight windows down the field, no one will be able to stop him. There were a couple games this year (don't remember off the top of my head) where I remember him getting rid of the ball super quick and just marching down the field with pace. I think that's when he's the most dangerous.

We have more than one hole on this team, and RB is a massive one. We have three backups rotating as starters right now.

As a longtime Watson fan who was pissed that the bills passed on him, it would be absolutely pointless. He doesn't get us any closer than we already are. You need a QB to routinely compete in this league, but as every playoff team showed you usually need a complete team that is healthy and plays mistake free football when it matters most. Unless Watson is coming here to play linebacker or tight end, he doesn't solve our problems

We're a very good team that in all likelihood will stay a very good team for a bit, but we aren't in the same tier as the Chiefs or the Bucs were this year, and that should be pretty clear by now. Depending on the draft, FA and development of younger player, maybe we'll have enough to go up a level. There are going to be a lot of other teams fighting us for the same privilege next year though. Maybe it's the Titans or Ravens taking that leap and leaving us behind. Maybe Burrows or Herbert blows up and takes the league by storm. If you get to the dance, Maybe the Rams finally have what they need, the 9ers get right, or Rodgers gets some help. We are certainly in the mix, but there needs to be more work and a little luck to get where we want to go.

Allen was fantastic this year, but trading away Mahomes cannot be seen as a win under any circumstances.
