  1. How bad are we that Dan paid of the refs and we still sucked ass? I guess the days there were bribes were the smattering of games where we'd see the Kerrigan chokeout called.
  2. I have been saying it over and over. Just when you think we have finally hit rock bottom, we learn that we are not there yet. It's one PR disaster after another for years now.
  3. Rest assured that no matter what happens, anything bad that happened on the field will result in cap penalties or forfeiting of picks.
  4. Fair enough all good points. The story is likely so damming that everyone is fearing a good ole american lawsuit if the story is false. Once again, lawyers and fear of lawsuits are largely ruling our land. I think the US still has more lawyers than all other countries. Combined.
  5. Why the tom Delay then? Forces are at work behind the scenes working out deals and we will likely only get half the story if that. Epstein was linked to many high ranking officials and that story went away (except one - Andrew). The NFL has a **** ton of money the best lawyers and pull in our society, and I for one won't underestimate their clout. Lawyer quietly rule our country. They make taxpayers pay for their damn stadiums. Speaking of Tom Delay. all the scandals surrounding Delay just vanished into the night.
  6. I get the same sense. The league > Dan's worst issues and they want to bury this thing so the lawyers are talking to lawyers forging a way to make this go away but without damaging the image of the league, as a priority. The problem is: Dan cannot sell with a turn of the key which is the ultimate punishment that Mara Management LLC can Ron McDole out. So, I expect this to drag on as gag orders are being filed faster than the Fed can print money to prop up the markets.
  7. Talk about a perfect storm forcing Dan's hand. Our stadium overrun by every single away teams fans. Allen's gross incompetence in countless areas. Our team captain and best player refusing to play here. My fav our coached presumed after drinking slouched on the ground outside a bar smoking. The pandemic. Righting the wrongs across society. This country is SO ****ed up that even Dan is considering changing names.
  8. I get the sense that most here are convinced 100% it's going to be Chase. Maybe I should start a welcome thread. After a stud workout from Tua we should say we love him blah blah. Send our new GM out there to pump the tires. Heh. We want a bidding war dammit. We are usually too stupid to embrace the suck and get a top pick. This year, we were indeed SO bad that for once we couldn't spend our way to our annual mediocrity. Lets leverage this to the max. Call Cleveland.
  9. Would it make any sense to at least pretend that we like Tua? See if we can somehow pull off trading out of 2, and still landing Chase. I'd guess it can't hurt too much to try. And regardless, at 2 OA we need to look at all players closely especially Tua. With the fail rate of QBs I have long thought having 2 younguns is wise but most teams seem afraid to do it. We did it, and both QBs are still in the league despite our top tier organizational dysfunction. I like 3 QBs in the mix - 1 vet. I feel like starters go down quite often. Competition is not always a bad thing, but I think the NFL Gods frowns upon it when its QBs. I was bent when we drafted Kirk thinking 3 would be looking over his shoulder. I was wrong. The key may be trading the one you don't want early on, on a high. I have to think coaches can look at a kid in day 1 and know yeah this is going to tough. Flynn'em. Seattle drafted Wilson right after getting bent.
  10. The ferocious Bosa led SF pass rush was not enough. Expectation Check on all our undrafted players.
  11. Or, he was wasted. And thus, loved everyone. I love you, man. The guys we drafted were just the interviews he remembered.
  12. I want to Chase to dominate here, while used to his strengths to entertain the football world proper. Design the D around him if he is that good. Don't try to make him a JAG to fit into a scheme that has been shown to slowly chokes ourselves out. And don't let me see a Warrick Holdman type situation ever again.
  13. Maybe. It just looked like he wasn't firing off, and as per usual here, rushed straight at blockers. Counter - why didn't he get stonewalled in camp? Reports for most of camp said he was abusing everyone, and then i think he got injured. Penn at least was an all pro not too long ago. And I think when Callahan spoke of him not being used correctly, he had his best 2 games. Heh I wonder if he had a lingering injury to start the year. I still cannot believe that the buffoon let Manusky interview and screen his own replacements a year ago.
  14. One year of Williams had me content, and then he backed off. Lewis was very soft IMO and why he was quickly gone - 1 year IIRC. I forgot all about Ray Rhodes. I refuse to believe Chase Young will be unleashed and destroying quarterbacks. It's nothing against him nor all the fine opines here but think some are counting chickens how he will be used and we haven't even drafted him yet. It's just the damage done by watching our passive defense consistently abused for most of 2 decades, a few good stretches and Haslet manic moments aside. I think we play soft no matter the studs up front we have, and abstain from trying heavy deception. Can anyone recall us trying to attack a QB, like the Bears did to us on Monday night? Mack my ass all they did was stunt him over and over, from different places for a few series. They just confused our OL and knocked out our QB. We all heard Sweat was abusing everyone in camp yet somehow didn't see anything out of him until week 17 or so. Only after old man Callahan chimed in as the season is over "maybe we drop him into coverage too much" or some ****, did we see him allowed to make plays to warrant a trade up / 2 2's.. I would be interested in his PFF ratings by game. PFF ratings may fail if they don't account enough for what is asked of a player.
  15. Absolutely - we'd like a whole team of those guys. 2 overalls don't happen here often in perennial win now mode. But QBs are the wild cards and aren't so easy to scheme against. Heck 1 of the 2 QB wins every game so how effectively was he really schemed for. DE's have less snap counts out of the gate, and are subjected to being forced to learn to play passively and under control here much more than I prefer. Coaching changes thus far haven't gotten Clemons Preston Rak Lavar Kerrigan Sweat Murphy Junior lol and so many others, to greatness. EDIT. ZO! We botched that one big. Starting our coaching hires with 2 count em 2 former LBs, gives me more hope than usual, actually.
  16. My prime concern is that no DC DC in 25 years has been able to scheme up freeing a front 7 to make plays. Manusky is but the latest. The guy is a stud maybe the best player in the draft. I just hope he is allowed to be that here. I did see a glimmer of hope when they finally unleashed Sweat, but we have a new staff. And a Redskins playbook.
  17. Can't a 2020 offense effectively game plan out a stud LDE? Run left run left short pass, chip.... yep run at Montez over and over. I am not the only to remember Rak pissed at how he could get no pressure on Eli because he quick passed us to yet another win. I am struggling to believe a DE can be the best player in a QB deep draft. Compare them to a QB or RB who are just in your face attacking a D all day. Some positions simply carry more weight. Not to mention we will be subbing him out. Maybe he has developed physically faster than those around him. We have all seen great college players fizzle in the bigs when the competition catches up to them. Andre' FoFizzle Johnson. I hope he is unstoppable but we have all seen great pass rushers vanish in games. Or for a month at a time. I will need to see our new DCs approach before I think he will be unleashed and used to his strengths. A team D approach always comes first in these parts. I am interested to see how much we are still locked in if Bosa is invisible in a super blow loss.
  18. All in on Bosa as Bowl MVP. The proceeds will go towards getting this thread thoroughly cleaned disinfected and deodorized
  19. Folks seems pumped for Chase. As of now I was more pumped for Sweat but a few tubes may change that. It seems like Bosa is a comparable (game changer) from reading here. I was surprised to hear the 9ers had the same number of sacks as us. We will be subtracting someone (presume Kerrigan) that contributed to our numbers last year. I presume they had many more knocks bats hurries etc but in the end think expectations for Chase may be tough to attain for him. IMO setting expectations on DL is a total crapshoot until we see how they will be deployed. We brought in so many stud DTs back in the day and they never met expectations... based on our lame duck schemes. Basically did jack **** here. I am still in therapy. Long time fans know all the names... Sean Gilbert, Big Daddy, Stubblefield, just to name a few. FAT AL yes I went there. Another huge factor dictating our expectations for Chase and his glorious sacks... Carlos Cushions, or press man. I don't discount line play and know we heavily neglected the DL during Dans glory years, but think we are jack stacked already and think our defensive coaches will have a larger impact, on improving our D and DL play, than Chase can provide alone.
