I miss having good players worth cheering for

This. We had players who had character and personality and you knew they were giving 100% regardless. They would fight till the end and wouldnt give up. We have no character today, no personality and unfortunately I get the impression we have some guys just collecting paychecks and going through the motions.

Agreed. I can’t think of any players on this team aside from Derrick Brown who would have had a spot on that 2015 team. It’s like they are talking about backing up the brinks truck for Brian Burns and I’m like….why? He disappears for games at a time. Scott Fitterer should be ejected into the sun for not taking that deal from the Rams.

I realize its not good to compare but when I compare Brian Burns in my head to some of our former stars, I cant see him beating any of them out for a starting spot. Those guys were true bad asses and game changers. I miss our old school players. They would kick the crap out of our guys of today. Even our QB was an old school cannon armed big bruising truck who would bang heads with the biggest of defenders with no fear. They were all tough and nasty. Our guys today seem so weak, delicate, small, frail and easily thrown off their game mentally with minimal effort put in. Sad to think about how much I miss that old team.

Our greatest season, and also the most fun. My little girl was created during this, and I remember both me and her mama used to watch the games. She even threw me a Super Bowl party that year. Fun fun year. Just sucks we couldn’t close the deal. 

We created our first daughter that season as well. I guess having a great team puts me in the mood.

I actually feel 2003 was better, because we were not supposed to win , we came out of nowhere , with a QB who was 3rd string on the Aints behind Aaron Brooks 

2015 was great , but it just doesn't match the magical ride of the cardiac cats of 03, if Kasay just hadn't kicked it out of bounds, but who are we kidding Brady and Welker would have still nickel and dimed us into field goal range

I'm on board with 2003 also because we were one Kasey kick not going out of bounds from a 50/50 coin toss in OT and our offense had scored TDs on three consecutive possessions.... 

SB 38 was tantalizingly close..... SB 50 not so much

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
