Nahhh resign Erik Flowers and see if Trent Williams will play with us coming off injury and we are all cool.

the passion baby! the loudness of the complaints should be drowned out by the roar of success!

first 2 games he did..... historically.

ahhh Good one, cant forget this. and in that vein... - Make sure to include Bates in the passing game - When BRob is cleared to start, use him only as a bruising rb and not as a pass catcher.

- Sit Forrest to send a message to the team (ala D.J. Swearinger) - Keep BenStJust at the slot. - Pound Antonio Gibson up the middle early and often to establish the run. - Stop running deep patterns to Dotson - Throw it to Terry twice as much as Samuels and Dotson - Don't get Percy Butler or Jeremy Reaves on the field - Only Play Jamin Davis on obvious passing plays and have him cover a WR - No Stunts with Sweat. Play containment Anything I am missing.

McCain is vanilla. Vanilla is killing us. Put Kam at Buffalo, put Forrest at SS and put Butler or Reaves at FS. Reaves looked fantastic at the end of the season with Curl in 20. Heck try putting Butler at the slot, he cant look worse than WTF3 or Kendra Fuller. Do SOMETHING.

He did cost a lot, but his production though 3 games is 100% worth it. Through 2 games he set NFL records for yards and tds with a new team. Game 3 was a clear and present inditement on the coaching staff of having a pretty pathetic gameplan that consisted of "Run Terry, Samuels and Dotson out deep and let Wentz throw long." It was clear when our OL was a turnstile and CW had no time to throw, let alone the WRs get deep, and WE HAD NO ANWER/ADJUETMENT, that Philly had game planned well and out coached us. Heck all that said, the D still played well for 3 quarters. Maybe getting BRob in action makes teams respect the run?.... Maybe If Young comes back we pressure the QB a little better? Doubt it makes significant difference. We clearly need to resign Payne, draft a DE, LB, and CB and OL OL OL OL. and find some coaches that can gameplan, adjust, and start players based on ability and performance, not hoe much they like em.

Yeah but you gave us 2.5 wins with Flowers, Settle and Collins..... I figured if we were getting out on the deep end we might as well get out there..... Seriously, I like the Wentz addition, and Heinikie is a scrappy fantastic back-up. With Howell as a quality development in the wings I have no issues. On that note, who would you have had as Heinikie's back-up? Still would have had to spend $$ there.... Wentz is a great 1 year stop-gap and if he puts up MVP numbers, would probably be willing to give a hometown discount to the team that resurrected his career, and if not, we can always move to the Howell experiment in addition to adding an FA, or using what appears to be a top 5 draft pick on a QB. The only personnel issue I have is how LB was handled in the offseason and keeping both WJ3 and Fuller as starters @ CB. The flowers, settles of the world are not going to take us to or keep us from the playoffs. Heinikie vs. Wentz will. R

This is where we dieagree. Settle was a back-up DL and came in occasionally and got a sack or 2. (Philadrian was an upgrade because of the upside, but unfortunate injury and while I do agree we should have kept setttle for depth, he wanted to start somewhere.) ((we are arguing about someone who has 2 tackles in 3 games for the bills..... )) Collins was costing us games at S. He may have been a net 0 at the buffalo, but his $$ way more than he was worth. Flowers was a back-up lineman that yes I would like to have, but oh well. If 2 back-ups and a washed up slow saftety could get us 2.5 wins, yeah bust out the checkbook. But I would argue that by these arbitrary standards, Wentz a WAR of 8 over Heineken. and I like Heineken. There is a reason we have a top flight passing attack this year, and it aint solely because of Dotson.

1000% agree. This is on RR, STurner, and JDR. I am pretty certain that a casual observer off the street could call plays more effectively at least 55% of the time.

You have so much draft You have so much draft capital and potential sitting there in Forrest, Butler and Reaves played well with Kurl. But we get to watch vanilla McCain.

right, won the first, competitiveish in the 2nd

It is so frustrating that you people think that Wentz is the issue on this team right now. There are 99 issues on this roster, but Carson Wentz is not one of them. Now the eagles game exposed what happens if you dont have the RB's running to the flats to counter the blitz. But that is poor game adjustments/planning. That line looked like they were on the Philly payroll. And to run Gibson 12 times for a whooping 38 yards is criminal.

No flipping way. We won the first 2 games cause Wentz threw for 600+ and 7 tds. Now had we kept Settle, & Flowers, and maybe Ion, we would be in worlds better position, and more importantly if we had brought some flipping NFL caliber LB'rs and CB's into camp to compete with our dumpster fire of a depth chart, we might now be in this mess. Oh wait, we would have needed to have brought in a non-gimpy non-panther O linemen or 2 to shore up the revolving turnstile that is an OL as well. I love Henikie, the person, the story, the gritty determination. To compare his arm with Wentz is dishonest. Wentz took cap space, but we dont win the first game or have any hope of competing long term with his arm. Howell is the only realistic option, but if this OL cannot stablize, you cannot put him in to get shellacked behind it. You are thinking of it wrong. What games would we have won with Wentz and Dotson and a healthy Samuels.

What did Bobby McCain do the first 2 weeks to to earn 64% of the snaps against the eagles vs. Forrest @ 34%? Forrest played "lights out" the first 2 weeks, and you reward him by benching him? Heck tell Kam you are working him back in and see what Forrest gives you with double the snaps. I can understand giving Kurl 61% of the snaps, but to give Forrest only 34% when he and Payne have been our top 2 defensive players to this point in the season is a joke. Forrest and Curl should be starters, with McCain getting 30% of snaps. Heck, Lets see what Reaves or Butler can do. Lets get a 4/5 safety look. Cant make the D any worse.

At this stage I am pretty certain the coaches are cruising the stadium looking for tips on how to right the ship......

We still have a chance of winning vs. Colts, Texans and the Bye week.

42 - 12. We will lead 12 - 0 midway through the 1st quarter. Henikie will be running for his life midway through the 4th.

Having the spike of hope of RG3 and the rookie season and seeing those hope and dreams unravel like his knee, makes you numb to the last few decades. We have devolved into junkie status. A slight spike of hope around the draft, "We dont need no stinking free agents, we can win with our guys dad gum it! This is the year Cam Sims, Preston Smith, Marko Mitchell Jamin Davis, Albert Connell....etc really put it together and Mark Brunell/Alex Smith/Jeff George/Carson Wentz is going to take us deep through the playoffs!" "We have Bruce Smith/Dana Stubblefield/Albert Haynsworth up front and Jeremiah Trotter/Lavar Arrington/Adam Archuletta This is going to be the year!" Ole Gruden/Marty/Spurrier/Rivera/Turner is the finest mind in football and will gameplan us to the promised land! sigh.... and now I have to wait 7 months for another good hit on the Skins/WTF/Commoders bong.

NO mention of Forrest? 8 tackles (6 solo) to lead the team?

Look at the way Forrest tosses a 6'3" 194pd receiver and makes the bone crunching hit. He is becoming my new crush and I sure hope to see more of him and Curl on the field. Or Percy. Or make him the Buff nickle or make Curl the Buff Nickle, but KEEP FORREST ONTHE FIELD and let him teach the LB's how to hit.

Right now we have the best performing QB in the league..... I don't anticipate that changing due to the skill players around him. We should be happy right?....

What we would give for London Fletcher or Marcus Washington or heck Khaleke Hudson right now....

I have never understood the Cousins hate. Dude is a baller, and "You Like That"

Terry, Dotson, Samuels and Bates all score TD's in the air, and Gibson breaks one off and takes it to the house. Jags pound the running game early, and Trevor gets shook by a Payne hit and throws 3 picks while trying to make up ground in the 2nd half. Jags have the ball for 40 min. Commies win 38 - 16. Wentz is still considered very pedestrian by the media and it is chalked up to "the weapons around him make him look good". Percy has a 2 pick day, and Payne gets 2 sacks to go with 1 by Phidarian. Jamin has the 3rd pick to go with 8 solo tackles and a FF and Tress Way never touches the ball. (Dad gum I just jinxed us hard!)
