I feel physicaly ill.... But it was excpected yes it was excpected. Heres why; Ive been saying it all along this season yea we went 12-4 but Brees picked us apart, warner did in the regular season as well as tonight, matt ryan did etc. We cant keep rushing 4 down linemen and playing off 10 yards on the outsides with ken and gamble. Trgo needs to go for us to get past this plateau, we have talent to be much more creative than droping back peppers in coverage once or twice a game and bringing 3-4 every down. We have thomas davis who has shown he can come from the outside and blitz the QB very well, Peppers all around freak, kaemo massive and very strong, beason stud lb, (ala ray lewis) Charles Johnson, brayton, harriss, diggs, gamble, lucas the list goes on. Pitt runs a 3-4 and utilizes palamalu in stoping the run more than anything (Harriss would flourish in that role) baltimore throws everything at you, san diego 3-4, philly blitzes more than any team ive seen, the only team ive really seen have good pressure bringing four guys is the gmen last year but they were loaded, didnt just have strahan like we have peppers. WE HAVE to get creative we need a new cordinator on D make the switch to a 3-4. let it look like this, peppers olb, davis olb, beason and diggs inside, than we got charles johnosn, kemo and brayton on the line. and just blitz and blitz and blitz all angles, safety blitzes, overloads, a gaps etc. Constant heat from pep, let him roam a bit and just control that side. Bring harris down let godfrey up top and press with lucas and gamble all game. Lucas is much better in man than zone, any secondary would look awful with the help they get from that line. Sure we get sacks but there never anything new its always pep got in or dlew up the middle. Never any blitzing, no beason up the gut, or constant pressure from thomas davis. we just sit back with that bitch d and get picked apart by all star level qbs. poo has to change for us to get past it were good and will be good but will never be great under this scheme.

    • Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true. 
    • Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.   
    • I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
