  1. I think we're a "In the hunt Wild Card" Team.  Meaning, we're not definite picks for the playoffs, but if the ball bounces our way a couple of games, we are in the playoffs.

     

    This team is being built right.  We have playmakers, now we need to provide depth and keep filling holes with quality players, not necessarily studs, but guys who will flourish when they play next to our studs.  For example, how DHB and TY have flourished playing next to Reggie.

  2. We still have our 2nd, 3rd round picks and 35 mil in cap space next year. With players like Alex Mack, Jeremy Macklin,  Orakpo,Nicks,Decker, available in free agency. We just got a franchise RB with top 5 potential for a pick that will be in the late teens or 20's, this is a steal.

     

    We have 35 mill next year?  So what is everyone freaking out about losing the pick when we'll probably sign (or trade) a big name lineman like we did this year with Cherilus (even though he hasn't lived up to the high expectations yet).  I get the feeling this staff prefers to spend money on proven talent when it comes to the offensive line than draft.

  3. We just didn't put up points...

     

    Penalties killed some drives where we were moving the ball, poor protection messed up some passes that could have been yard gainers, turnover by luck.

    We had chances to put up points but we goofed it up somehow.

  4. Speaking of Dallas Clark here's some numbers: Dallas by year 1) 10 starts 29 rec. 340 yards/ 2) 13 starts 25 rec. 423 yards/ 3) 37 rec. 488 yards/ 4) 30 rec. 367 yards 5) 58 rec. 616 and 11 tds. Dallas had 2 more great years after that where he was definitely one of the best receiving TE's in football but it took him til year 5 to break out.

     

    We have to give him a bit of break here. It takes time for players to find their way in the NFL sometimes.

     

    Yeah, I'm patient with Fleener and I think being with Luck and Pep will do wonders.  It's just I'm concerned on how we are using him.
