I was watching NFL Fantasy Live this morning and there was a guy gushing over Ezekiel Elliott as a play this week also saying our pass defense was overrated as was our defense as a whole. This stuff doesn't even phase me anymore. I just laughed and kept getting ready for work.

Reading the thread title this was my thought before I even opened it. The guy is terrible as an analyst.

Cut Murphy and throw that $$$ Shaq's way with a bit more on top. I still want us to make a run @ Ngakoue as well.

How could McDermott possibly know that White would be there @ #27, 17 picks from where we originally were slated? It's not like we drafted Mahomes and then traded him to KC once KC picked White. KC moved up, picked Mahomes, we got their 1st Round pick in 2018, and obviously White was the top rated player on their board @ #27.

Touche, point taken

My 5 would be: 1. Troy Polamalu 2. Steve Atwater 3. Carl Banks 4. Tony Boselli 5. Ricky Waters

PFF Rank? 33

I remember all 4, with the last 3 all being pretty ugly. I'll take a loss in the AFC Title game over getting blown out in the SB any day.

Yeah, the NFL should have to make their walk of atonement

I think the age demographic here will be the determining factor in this poll. Fans who never dealt with the 4 consecutive SB losses will pick the SB, while the ones who clearly remember the early 90's would rather lose in the AFC Title game in a competitive fashion.

If there ever was a call that should have been overturned it was the non-PI call where Hopkins got mugged the other week. The NFL and Riveron are a joke.

I'm more worried about Watt, Fitzpatrick, and that defense than I was worried about whatever QB was playing.

Yes, this has been established my friend. Thanks. I had read reports initially that he had pulled it bad.

Not comparing the two, just thought Foster was going to be out for an extended period.

Oh, well dang. They made it sound like it was worst than the first hamstring injury a couple of days ago.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/26/vikings-cut-josh-doctson/ He was just cut by the Vikings. He's had an injury history, but was an extremely productive college player. With Foster probably out for the rest of the year I wouldn't mind bringing him in for a look.

@Buffalo Barbarian approves this post

I think the Ramsey trade was a short-sighted mistake as well. They have surely stunted the growth of their team by the fact they don't have those picks. Beane wasn't here for the 2017 draft, it was Whaley and McDermott. The following year Beane and McDermott got their QB. They didn't trade back for a DB, they traded back for a future 1st Round pick and they happened to select White at the position they traded back to which was #27. I'd say #27 has certainly lived up to his draft position and then some.

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Cole Beasley

I remember a lot of people on here praising the Rams for their approach. Trade your picks, go all in now, blah, blah, blah. Now the flaw in that is being exposed. Yes, they had a couple year run, but they have been irresponsible with their cap and have stunted their growth in the future with the lack of day 1 and even day 2 picks. They gave us a 2nd for Watkins and let him walk. Now they gave up two 1st's and a 4th for a guy who holds all the leverage at the end of this year. If they were smart they would have kept Peters and Talib, rode out the season, and would have had much more flexibility while still retaining those high end picks. Some FO's are so short sighted that they make rash decisions and the Rams are the epitome of buyer's remorse at the moment.

Good for Karlos. Hope he works hard and earns himself another shot. He was pretty dynamic for us in his rookie season.

I think Goff's decline this year can be largely attributed to the decline of Todd Gurley. When you go from having an elite RB to a guy who is now pretty average due to the deterioration of his knee it makes a huge difference imo. Teams were never really scared of Goff, but they were scared of Gurley. Now that the running game is less effective Goff isn't showing he can carry the team with his arm.

Now all we need is for Darnold to see a ghost, take off running, and fumble the ball when he slams into his own offensive lineman's rear end.

And Dak's has been known to be suspect at times once he gets rattled back there. Hopefully they hit him hard a few times at least in the first series then he's thinking about it all game.

McVay was Andre the Giant at one point, but the NFL has turned into Hulk Hogan
