Believe me or not...but my mother is a teacher at Matthews Elementary, a co-worker of her's some how knows Steve Smith (neighbor of Steve's financial manager) She asked if he was going to the game and he said yes, club level, in Smitty's seats.

But he told her that when he got the tickets from him that Steve told him he was worried about Arizona and their attack and the disrespect they were receiving...he pretty much called the ass whopping.

I didn't like hearing that, since he is our OG #1, Smitty can't be "worried about the Cardinals"

We were doomed from the start.

ugh.

I think our whole team likes it better to be the underdogs, so they could see where AZ was coming from.

Let's face it, the players are humans too, they think the same way we do, they know all the same poo we know.(and more)

It isn't crazy to think like that IMO.

I have been here long enough to know what happens after bad losses (about 2-3 months, maybe longer, before the crash....and a looooong time lurker) . Just because everyone else is calling for some players/ coaches head, it doesn't mean I also have to run around with a torch and a pitchfork... hopefully, the right things will happen, and the team will be better next year.

I'd be worried too, they took us to the limit the first meeting, and everyone was expecting a blow out and they were 10 point underdogs. That is so much motivation.

Being worried doesn't mean he didn't prepare though so lets not start being stupid.

Wow, a fourth hand account of something a player may have, or may not have said in passing about an upcoming opponent, breaking... fuging... news.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
