I honestly think Morris may be better this time around due to the time he spent with McVay. The key to his success or failure will be the staff he puts together on the offensive side of the ball. Don't be surprised if he poaches a couple guys from LA.

No, I don't either. Epenesa is younger. I'm talking about the annual average.

Owners talk about winning, but I bet some of them just stay par for the course if they still continue to make $$$ hand over fist. Probably sad, but true.

I would rather re-sign Epenesa than re-sign Floyd, especially if we're talking similar $$$.

Miami is going to find themselves in trouble rather quick. They have huge cap hits with guys like Hill, Ramsey, Chubb, and Xavien Howard. Then Chubb likely won't even play next year due to how late the ACL tear happened. Read somewhere that Terron Armstead might be retiring, which would trigger an even larger cap hit as well as leave a hole on their OL. Jaylen Waddle and Jaelen Phillips are entering the 4th years of their deal. Phillips is also coming off an achilles tear he just had repaired in late November. Their list of FA's is long, including Christian Wilkins who will likely chase the $$$ elsewhere. Top it off with the fact their GM is about to sign Tua to a LT, big $$$ contract. Then they just can't seem to get things right on the defensive side of the ball. I almost pity the Fish fans.

I agree with the bold part most definitely. This year we could have easily been the #1 seed if we didn't lose to some bad teams. The underlined and italic part, I do not. I think LB's are very important in this defense. Bernard was the key cog in our defense all year long. His athleticism, understanding of the defense, and instincts are off the charts. He was exactly what we needed at the MLB spot. You have to take into account the guys we lost. We lost our All Pro Matt Milano early. We lost Bernard for this, the most important game of the year. We lost Spector. Then Dodson was playing hampered by a shoulder injury. The athletic drop off between Bernard and Dodson is quite a bit. The drop off of Klein to Dodson and Bernard is definitely evident. Dorian Williams, though supremely athletic, isn't up to speed with this defense and his responsibilities yet mentally. In this matchup we were facing the greatest TE in NFL history, again. If we have a healthy Bernard, I think the defensive performance looks a lot different on Sunday. From the calls, to the pre-snap adjustments, I think everything would have played out different. It is what it is though, and the result is the result no matter how it is rationalized.

Bro hasn't figured out how to prevent this from happening yet? Got like 5 kids from 4 different baby mama's. He's gonna be broke within 5 years of retirement.

Justin Herbert right now

I'll be somewhat realistic with my expectations, but this is something along the lines of what I want to see for a roster next year: QB: Allen / whoever (if we end up needing a backup we're screwed regardless) RB: Cook / Ty Johnson / Cody Schrader (6th) - Mizzou FB: Gilliam WR: Diggs / Xavier Leggette (1st) / Shakir / Peoples-Jones (FA) / Moose Muhammad III (5th) - Texas A&M / Malik Washington (6th) - UVA TE: Kincaid / Knox / Morris OL: Dawkins / McGovern / Morse / Torrence / Brown (being realistic, they probably just run it back) DE: Rousseau / Miller (unless charges are brought he's here) / Epenesa (FA - I'd re-sign him over Floyd) / Brennan Jackson (5th) - Washington St. / Jonathan DT: Oliver / T'Vondre Sweat (2nd) - Texas / DaQuan Jones (FA) / Tyler Davis (4th) - Clemson / Tim Settle (FA - cheaper than before) LB: Bernard / Milano / Spector / Williams / Matakevich (FA - the new Taiwan Jones) / whatever ILB from FA CB: Douglas / White (at least see how he looks post injury) / Benford / Johnson / Jarrian Jones (3rd) - Florida St. / Elam S: Xavier McKinney (FA - the one larger $$$ FA I want and think would fit well) / Rapp (FA) / Trey Taylor (6th) - Air Force / Lewis

And we're not running into a similar situation with the Chiefs? You also think the game changer was Dungy, who got replaced in Tamps because he couldn't get it done there?

Also, seeing that video of the fans screaming at Gabe Davis didn't sit right with me either. Yeah, we all have our gripes about the guy, but have some respect and some class. It was just a bad look.

All of the talk about JA17's "prime years" being wasted, and all of the incessant whining about every single detail around here can make this board tiresome. Every single thought posted as a thread no matter how irrational, how vague, or how much of a LAMP they may be. The "fire, cut, and trade" trains are all over the place again. All of the Nancy's have come back out of the woodworks as soon as Bass missed the kick, the ones who hadn't been as present during the 6 game win streak. First, the Chiefs game. JA17 was balling. All the bobbleheads on TV can say whatever they want, about any aspect, but that's clowns do. They came to the circus all piled in the same VW. Cook had a solid game, outside of the dropped TD pass. The game plan was solid on offense, even though things shifted a bit in the 4th. There are multiple factors that cost us. The defense couldn't stop a nose bleed. The loss Bernard was the final nail in the coffin there. Not being able to stop the run hurt. Huge drops by the WR's. If those 3 passes are completed, then JA has another 150yds and likely one more TD. That ball to Diggs was in the air 70 yards and an ABSOLUTE dime. There's no excuse. Sherfield was being interfered with on the first one, but that was a perfect throw as well. Then he had an opportunity when Josh laid the other out there, but just couldn't secure it. Bass put the flame out altogether with his recreation of a Norwood classic. Tough loss. Very emotional. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth knowing how close we were again. Still, it's not the end of the world. Everyone wants to act like it's time to completely deconstruct the whole thing. Everyone also forgets that Reid was the lovable underachiever in Philly. His teams won 6 division titles, were in 5 NFCCG (4 in a row at one point), and made one SB in that time which they did not win. Even in KC he didn't win anything of importance until he had Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill. Brett Veach and Andy Reid built this monster together they have now. They have hit on their drafts more often than not, on both sides of the ball. Now that Reid has a couple of SB's in KC and been on an insane run of AFCCG's the last few years people talk about him as one of the best coaches in history. They forget the lovable underachiever he once was. Peyton Manning had multiple MVP's and numerous accolades to his credit prior to the 2006 season. He was recognized as one of the top QB's in the game. But his teams were always coming up short in the Playoffs. In four of those Playoff appearances they failed to even win a single game. One and done. We're talking about teams that had Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, and Dallas Clark on offense. Then they had Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis on defense. They were always coming up short. In his 9th season, 2006, they finally had that magical run and Peyton made it to his 1st SB. It also helped that they came up against a much lesser opponent in the Rex Grossman led Chicago Bears for that SB and it ended in a victory. I know we live in a microwave society, and instant gratification is almost viewed as a right by many people these days, but it's not always the case. Sometimes you do have to struggle and toil before you actually achieve your goals. The team has needs. Trenches need to be shored up. Weapons need to be obtained in the passing game still. We need good fortune with injuries for once. But one thing we do have? We have an elite QB. Screw the media bobbleheads and so called reporters. the clown show will continue with them no matter what. Also, despite my grumblings against Sean McDermott at times, I still think he's a solid coach and it's not time for him to be shown the door just yet. I think Beane is a solid GM who has actually made some really good moves for this team. Even though this year is fresh in my mind, and the pain of the loss is real, I still know that as long as we have JA17 at the helm our SB window is open. Now let's hope they make the right moves in the offseason and for once, next season, that God smiles down upon this team injury wise.

I wish Gabe well, just like I wished Tremaine well last year going into the off-season. Still, he is not the guy we need opposite of Diggs. We need a competent #2 who understands the game mentally, can really build a rapport with Josh, and has a fairly diverse route tree in his repertoire. We also need to be looking for an immediate #2 with #1 potential. Diggs ain't getting any younger.

Well. That's it

Knox is due for his timely play against KC
