They had their rookie phenom QB. We didn't. Not sure how you can be disappointed with the season when comparing directly with the Texans. Stroud > Minshew and that shouldn't be a surprise.

...................... Do you realize how much f'in money that is?

This team fought all season long. With a backup QB basically all season long. With a laughably depleted secondary all season long. We won 9 games and have a winning season this year. I understand being disappointed, but this season (as a whole) is not a disappointment.

Yep, I'll be rooting for a win obviously but this season is already a success in my book, based on preseason expectations. I'd love to keep it going!

I'll never forget that game. Took my Patriots fan wife and my oldest (at the time only) kid who was just recently potty trained. Spent the entire game taking him to the potty like 10+ times. It was right towards the end of the game and he said he has to go again. So off we went. As we were walking down the stairs out of our section, the crowd erupts, I look over and see JT running all the way down the field. I lift my son up and we run up the walkway with him high fiving everyone and giggling like crazy. It was a moment I'll never forget!

I'm a big 49ers guy as my "secondary team". After we got Luck, I started watching Stanford on Saturday nights and got a full dose of CMC. I've been rooting for him ever since. I also love Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk, and now I find myself on the Purdy bandwagon. They're eating over there in SF, that's for sure.

Blake Freeland is hurt? lol

Wow.

Just hanging out with the 3 kiddos. Y'know... nice and peaceful like...

That... that's not how any of this works....

To be fair, he did try on the offensive line via draft and FA, maybe even trade? Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes were 3rd/4th round I think, Gosder Cherilus was made like the highest paid RT or something, the guy from the Pats who blew up his quad before ever playing a snap for us(David something maybe?) was supposed to be pretty good. Grigs just sucked really bad at picking the right guys on the OL.

I liked them. Saw they were getting dragged online and I don't get it. It was definitely a nice change of pace and infinitely better than Color Rush.

I play a similar game but it's when he says "Now here's a guy..." and now I'm an alcoholic.

Well Kenny Pickett has been playing like preseason MVP, so we might not be in a bad spot in that scenario. That said... I'd have been extremely meh on that selection

Good call. Could help to partially explain why he hasn't gone after bigger names/signings.

I can't say for sure since I don't honestly remember very well these days, but I believe we had him playing... and he was the most pro-ready QB coming out since Elway lol

I think the Texans have had some attrition on their OL, so that could be a possibility. I believe that yes, unless they're veterans who have been vetted for however many seasons, cuts go straight to the waiver wire. If unclaimed, that's when original teams can then sign to their practice squads if desired.

I think he plays. The entire narrative since we drafted AR is that he just needs as many reps as possible. I don't think sitting him as soon as he's announced the starter jives with that very well. Let him get a few series or a quarter (with the starting OL).

Damn, my other two leagues are defunct now as well. My work has had so much turnover/WFRs that our league died and there's not enough interest to make a new one. My $ league was ran by a guy from my hometown who has since gone social media silent and that was the only way I knew how to contact him. Now this one appears like it's not happening. Womp womp.

From what I've seen/listened to, Stroud has all but locked up that starting QB job in practice. Guess it would possibly hinge on the next 2 preseason games going a lot less catastrophically for him though. He should get more than 4 pass attempts next time, I'd hope lol

I think I read somewhere that Houston has lost like 3 or 4 OL during camp (not sure if anything major, but just something to note). I also didn't watch the game last night so not sure what the announcers had to say on the state of their OL. But it could be ugly over there for a bit.

There's only one doctor of thuganomics and you can't see him. *trumpets blare*

Saw this earlier. Dude is just the worst. Not because he's pessimistic, that I can understand. But he's just such a whiny little baby about everything and is condescending as all get-out.

Yeah, I think Raimann has a chance to be a lot better this year... but I'm still going with LT. Go find a stud that can give us that island that we used to put AC on so our RBs/TEs can help elsewhere and our young QB has time to do what he needs to do.

I don't. Sorry.
