yup, agreed. But still, have to play the ball aggressively. Ryan is putting it there. Receivers gotta make the plays.

yup, Reich once again one of the reasons why we may lose this game.

One thing I don’t like is most of our receivers are body catching. I’ve seen some passes where if the receiver played the ball more aggressively it would’ve been a catch but instead a drop. Hopefully Reggie sees the same

tbh, Ryan looks ok. Can’t help a receiver dropped the ball and another couldn’t make a play on a deep ball. Playcalling looks to be the issue right now, like almost every year for us.

This team is not prepared. That is obvious. I said Wentz and Reich were the problem last year and since we don’t have Wentz and still have the SAME problems it’s obvious Reich is STILL the problem.

No, giving Christian Kirk 4yrs/$72 mill with a $21.5 mill cap hit screwed the market. If Kirk is worth a $21 mill cap hit, diggs is worth every bit of $30 mill

Jaguars really screwed the WR market lol Diggs signed a 4/$70 mill contract. Worth up to $104 mill lol

the thing about this team is that it isn’t necessarily a bad team. We just had mediocre to bad players in the most important spots: QB, WR, DE. So for us, making one move is the same as another team making several moves. despite his shortcomings, ballard has put this team in position to make or break. We have the qb, we have the de, now we just need that wr. Add some depth and I think this team does better than last year.

I do thin MPJ is good. I do think if he's healthy PC can become probably the best slot WR in the league, but after that...that's it. When you compare our WR room to other teams we are definitely in the bottom. Woods would've definitely upgraded this room and for a 6th round pick and his contract I think it would've been worth it. Maybe Ballard has eyes on someone in the draft. Who knows.

liking the group you have is ok, but we should always be looking to improve. And I’m a ballard fan. Maybe he’s banking on Parris being healthy again. I don’t know. Like what would a 6th round in pick 2023 would’ve costed us?

Woods for a 6th round pick? I mean I know he’s hurt but we weren’t interested? Maybe OBJ? Are the Colts even looking?

All about who Watson wanted to go to. At this point, the pressure was now on Texans to get the deal done before the browns use that as leverage

this, only thing I’d say I’m disappointed in is not grabbing a WR and DB. But I can see why we couldn’t get one without having a QB. I could see moving up into the late first round and grabbing a receiver using our second and Washingtons 3rd. If we can grab a DB, I’d be ok. also thinking ballard might have his eye on a LT in the draft or Pryor is making the change.

This is what I think is going down.

@nflrums said Green Bay matched raiders offer but adams chose the raiders. Ouch. Wonder how Rodgers feeling right now.

makes sense for him to go to the rams. Get paid and a chance at the sb. Division got weaker also. makes me think of OBJ on the way out. Also, not sure how hurt Winston is. Pretty sure we’ll see the next round of qbs go once the Watson domino fall

crap, that isn’t a bad deal at all. Hopefully ballard is banking on pulling OBJ away or maybe he’s thinking about the draft. Being told this draft is deep in WRs. Wouldn’t mind grabbing another MPJ in the second round but man would’ve been happy grabbing Allen. and we also don’t have a qb which probably dissuaded Allen if we were actually speaking with him

yup, how could I forget. This contract is probably front loaded.

true, most i would’ve went would be $20, but now I see he had other things in the works and he made the right move. That’s why he get paid the big bucks and I’m just an armchair GM lol

I ain’t mad at Von. Got his ring so now he’s cashing out lol

i figured he was gonna go for $17 per year. Wonder what the colts offered. This is one of those times I wish we overpaid.

I get what you saying and I agree. We will see. I don’t expect us to splurge and I wouldn’t want us to. But we will see…how many years has it been that we’ve had the most or top 5 cap space? Let’s see if it changes.

my main beef with him is that he isn’t aggressive enough. Idk if he’s being aggressive or not but the lack of talent at key positions shows. Other teams have those same key positions and the teams that compete are able to fill them mostly while we seem to not. I think his drafting has been good. He’s done a solid job of building a foundation and performing what I like to call a “moving rebuild”. But his lack of success in FA is hampering this team. I said this in another thread. It’s ok to build through the draft but we can’t solely depend on it. We have to use FA to fill the rest of our holes and make up for the misses in the draft. When we don’t hit in the draft or FA, it hurts the team that much more.

Pat McAfee on our heels about not spending money.

Jesus I just used it as an example. I don’t know if we wanted him or not. There aren’t any reports even linking him to us. Just because I didn’t outright say it. I literally said “for example” and used it as a comparison. What is your problem? and then I even mentioned it was something I think we could’ve which means it was my personal opinion and not something that was actually happening. calm down
