Go tell the players and coaching staff these games are meaningless. You're thinking as a fan not a player. I got you think they should just throw the season away because we are two games behind the leader that we just lost to in overtime. Got it. The entire team from top to bottom including management isn't thinking about 2023. They want to win now and won't stop trying until they are mathematically eliminated. I don't know if you remember 2004. This team was decimated with injuries. This was the year Smitty broke his ankle right out the gate. I believe we were 1-6 and went on a tear. We won like 6 out of 7 and put ourselves in a position to make it to a wild card spot. You just can't give up because you have a losing record. I get if we are mathematically eliminated that we play younger players. Makes sense but until we are eliminated, they won't stop trying to win. I don't see how you don't get this.

He had a terrible whiff on a blitz that nearly got PJ killed. I was not impressed by Brown's performance.

You don't get it. First, Professional Football players and Organizations don't live around the draft. It is one part of a whole season. It's not like there is only ONE good player in the draft. There are other options to be considered. 2023 draft doesn't have that for sure Franchise QB. Tanking for the first spot does not guarantee you've solved your teams' problems. Second, it's called a loser mentality. Wilks is trying to establish a winner's mentality and you don't throw games when you still have a chance to do something. The Phillies are a perfect example. They were on their way to a losing record. They switched coaches and snuck into the playoffs. They Beat Atlanta and the Mets to make it to the World Series and are in a position to win it all. Granted Football is a one and done scenario but there have been several underdogs with "NO SHOT" at winning the SB, who actually win it. Who knows what can happen. Our division is up for grabs, and we are still in it. Because you have no faith and have given up on this team doesn't mean the rest of us have. We are playing better and actually are enjoyable to watch.

Or maybe Goodell hired Hillary to make it go away.

God forbid we actually compete in our remaining games. It's so much better to suck so we can have the draft pick of your choosing.

He's well above Sweat. Hype is numbers, he does more than just numbers. It amazes me that so many of you value him as JAG. He's dynamic and considering he rarely has a counterpart on the other side he is quite amazing. You just can pick and DE in the draft and expect them to be better. Draft picks don't always pan out and you gamble quite a bit to get rid of him. IMO, we'll sign him to a long term deal.

It's funny, I work with a lot of people that love different teams. We literally have just about every team covered within our organization. 95% of them would love to have Burns, many say he's a freak and super talented. You guys want to trade him away for 2 first round picks. We are then stuck with YGM, who is looking more and more like JAG and who? You do realize that Stud DEs are not easy to come by. So, while we have these two picks what happens to our defense when we have no one to rush the passer. Top picks are great to have but trading away your talent doesn't mean you are going to replace them in the draft. You keep your young talent and build on top of them. You don't trade them all away for unproven draft picks. MAKES NO SENSE

So, we might as well tank this season, next season and the one after that so we can stockpile players until we have your approval to try to win the Super Bowl. There are several teams out there that could make it to the playoffs. Once in the Playoffs anything is possible. There have been several teams to win the SB from the WC position. It's not how you start the season. It's how you finish. I'd rather make the playoffs and give us something to look forward to than sitting back and hoping for a top draft pick. The players are going to play, they are going to win as many games as they can.

I would put him on a short leash. Gonzalez is on IR so we really need to be patient with Pinerio unless he keeps missing kicks. The one thing is, if this gets to his head he could be finished.

B. Daboll is doing a great job with Jones but it's his staff that's doing the work. He sets the tone of the team and gets his coordinators to implement his plan. Your head coach doesn't have to be a offensive mind to get the talent out of your offense.

Actually, if you watch the play. He didn't streak straight down the field. He paused momentarily and then shot by the DBs. The DBs should have been deeper but it happens. You blame that they were backups as if starters wouldn't have made the same mistake. Purely assumption. 3 seasons of over 1000 yards especially considering our QB play, IMO makes him one of the top receivers in the game. (ie elite) He'll most likely pass 1000 yards this season or get damn close to it. Especially considering he didn't get his season started until Rhule was fired.

This right here is the reason why you say no. Baltimore is trying to keep up with KC and Buffalo to win the Super Bowl this season. They gave up quite a bit for a LBer that will play out the season and be asking for big bucks. They already have to worry about signing Lamar. We're not in the position to give up capital and also figure out a way to sign him and Burns.

Foreman runs hard. He hits the hole, little or big and keeps churring. That has been the problem with our RB. They want to pitter patter until they see an opening and it never develops. He's legit and it's good we picked him up.

McDermott and Salah are defensive minded coaches. Who's to say you can have a young offensive minded coordinator? If he gets hired away, you bring up one of his assistances and go from there. The head coach is over both offense and defense. On game day he is overseeing the entire game. The offensive coordinator is calling the plays. IMO as long as you have a good OC you are ok. Buffalo is a prime example. McDermott is defensive yet has probably the most potent offenses in the NFL.

Hubbard missed yesterday's game but, he performed well against the hated Bucs. I believe he is our best alternate for Foreman. A pretty decent 1-2 punch.

I am not implying that we'll beat Cincinnati but Burrow is mobile but not as mobile as Mariota. Mariota snuck out of several sacks last night. I would not be surprised if we beat Cincinnati. They may be overlooking us.

It's hard to watch him in a SF uniform but Foreman is taking up the slack nicely and we got 4 picks out of it. Something we desperately needed. These are probably the same guys that want to trade everyone away for picks but when they do well with their new team, they post crazy poo like this.

@pantherj @Catsfan69 @JawnyBlaze @Brooklyn 3.0 @Fox007 @Camp Fodder @4Corners After 2 weeks Foreman has rushed over 100 yds in each game. Still think he's trash, too old, garbage? The guy is a beast. Here's a nice plate of crow.

Bring back Julius Peppers. He probably could still outjump most DBs and he's well into his 40's.

Who is to say that the next HC is going to change things? You're making a huge assumption that our next head coach, whoever you think, is going to automatically be the answer. Nailing a head coach like Billicheat, McDermott, Reid or Tomlin is a greater risk than nailing the top QB in a draft. You act as if changing from Wilks to someone else is a guarantee for success. There's an old say "Be careful of what you ask for" I like Wilks, I like the way he motivates and keeps our players in the game. Is he the answer, I don't know but, Hiring a new HC doesn't always mean it's the best move. For instance, I would have rather kept Rivera, with Fitterer as his GM, than Fhule. Rivera was hamstrung by Marty " I don't know how to draft after the 1st round" Hurney.

Those that say Wilks is like Rivera, can also say he's like McDermott. They come from the same tree. McDermott is 55-33 with playoff visits all but one year and looking like the most dangerous team in the NFL. McDermott is a motivator just like Wilks. You don't need an offensive minded head coach if he can't motivate. The key is getting the right coordinators. Good draft picks and good Free Agents. Rivera and Fox did a great job motivating their players. The problem was after Dan Henning left, we never seemed to have a good OC. I would like to see Wilks with a new OC. He's changed McAdoo around and we actually look like a competent offense. Imagine if he has someone that can work eye to eye with him. Bringing in an offensive minded head coach does not automatically make this team better. Replacing Wilks could put this team back even further than we want. Your head coach needs to be a motivator. You can be an offensive genius but if you can't motivate your team, you won't be a head coach for long.

The one good thing about PJ is he knows the system so allowing the Rooke and Corral to get good Reps in practice will help.

I'm not saying he's bad QB, I just don't see anything that makes me feel he's going to make the transition to the NFL easily.

He was trailing but his RB had a great run and the defense gave him a short field AGAIN for a score that pretty much put Penn St. away. He had some nice throws including a over the shoulder pass that was right on the money outside of that most of them were wide open any QB could have made those completion. I really think it is going to come down to our scout team review of these QBs. Fitterer and Morgan are going to have to weed through the hype and see who the best of the group is.

Yes, Culpepper was never the same after that.
