Are you acting like we haven't? Top 10 picks on Icky and T-Mac. 1st on XL. 2nd on a hurt RB. Paid Chuba. Huge money at OG. Our D is lacking for talent in large part because of how heavily we've invested on pieces to put around Bryce.

Different era of football. Changing how illegal contact is called changed the game. That Ravens team and that Dilfer QB'd Bucs team don't sniff the SB in this era.

Stroud has been ass so far tonight and just got a receiver baptized with a hospital ball.

Flacco was 22/33 for 287 yards and 3 TDs in the SB while they averaged less than 3ypc per rush attempt and their D gave up 31. Flacco didn't ride anything to a Lombardi, he won them the game.

You can't throw five yard check downs that are going to be tackled immediately when there's 45 seconds to go and you only have two timeouts. An incomplete pass is a better play than that given the situation.

Crazy the amount of false starts that get a pass in the NFL. Houston's RT was a step and a half into his drop when the ball was snapped on that 3rd down conversion. See it happen all the time. KC's RT last year was the most egregious offender.

We've definitely made some less than ideal decisions, but we haven't even come close to the idiocy of planning to trot out the duo of Bell and Chandler as our starting OTs. That's quite possibly the worst mismanagement of OL I can recall in the NFL. I mean, if you get hit with a rash of injuries (which is why a lot of these "poor decision" guys have been playing) and you have to scratch together the best you can on the fly that's one thing. But to literally plan on Bell and Chandler as your penciled in starting OTs is just insane.

It was a simple bone break. He's expected to be fully ready to go for the 2026 season. Players don't transfer in this environment to redshirt. They transfer to collect a bag and play immediately. The memes and jokes of him being a Mahomes wannabe are funny (and not wrong) but I wouldn't be surprised to see him blossom in Oregon. He was a highly tourted recruit for a reason and the next QB that plays well under Matt Rhule will be the first.

I think we've made some less than ideal choices for sure but anyone who watched the Gettleman era saw true next level insane management of the OL where we trotted out a UDFA at LT and a UDFA converted college DT at RT as literally our planned starting OTs.

Dylan Raiola to Oregon pretty much confirms that Dante Moore will be entering the draft.

I honestly don't know what took so long to make the XL/Coker switch in the first place. It's been obvious for quite awhile that Coker is the better WR.

Finding top talent in FA generally requires a lot of luck, period. Teams rarely let top talent hit the market. It's gotta be a cap strapped team or a team lucky to have great depth at a particular position group, or some other type of extenuating circumstance like the guy being at or near the poojt where hes likely to start declining. Especially at premium positions. Top tier QBs, OTs, ege rushers, CBs, etc. rarely hit open free agency in their prime.

Proctor's size concerns me. Is he going to have the lateral movement and agility in space to play OT at the NFL level? I mean, I don't doubt that he's going to be a problem for edge rushers if he can get hands on them but if they're just flying past him that's worst case scenario.

I'm not begging for us to take an OT at 19 but I don't think it should be off the board either. If the BPA at 19 is an OT, draft him. At the end of the day, our young LT just suffered a serious injury and there's no guarantee he effectively returns from it. Our RT will be 32 next year and there's a lit of whispering about him having chronic knee issues that may shorten his career. Nijman is a backup/stopgap caliber player who is also on the wrong side of 30. Christensen is a FA and will be trying to comeback from an Achilles injury which is one of the tougher common injuries to bounce back from. Don't force it, but OT at 19 is imminently defensible.

Tannehill has to be the most forgettable near 35k yard, 200+ TD QB in NFL history. I mean, I see the stats. I recognized the face and name. But I can't remember literally anything about his actual play. Not a single play, game, or season comes to mind. He was just... there.

I mean, Maye is probably winning the MVP this year. You mean even more of a machine than MVP? Well, that's fuging terrifying

Yeah, Herbert is getting pressured a lot but honestly he's also missed a lot of throws and made bad decisions to throw a low probability ball when he probably should've just scrambled. Once they got in must throw situation it was over. The Pats just teed off.

Herbert has to stop throwing these short passes to the middle of the field. You're gonna run out of time. That guy is only running that route in case they run prevent and there's an opportunity to dump it off and run for 20 and get OB. When he's gonna get tackled immediately you can't throw that.

When something is working you should do it until they stop it.

The Chargers desperately need to address their OL. Sign guys, draft guys. They need dudes.

Yeah, their D has played really well tonight. Their offense has just done jack poo.

I think Herbert's overrated but the guy hasn't had much of a chance tonight. This D is on his ass like white on rice. The difference in tonight's game is that Maye has handled that situation better than Herbert, his experience at UNC having him well prepared for it. LOL

Strip sack fumble, that's game.

Putting the Chargers in a situation where they need two TDs feels insurmountable given their offensive struggles so far tonight.

Will Campbell has had a very good rookie season at LT but he's having a very bad night tonight.
