Regardless of our wins, I'm still upset & frustrated with our terrible play at the start of games. You can't win Superbowls with our formula. Brady, Manning & even the Chiefs won't let us bring back 21 point deficits
Lets make the playoffs before thinking about Super Bowls.. We're nowhere near a Super Bowl winning team the way w've been playing lately

Tell me again when Richardson ripped off a 30 yard touchdown run? When he does that, then we can compare the two.
If our guys had made a similar hole for him to run straight through the defense, T-Rich would have done the same.
Unfortunately they don't because we have the most incapable O-line in the league
-
Clinton-dix won't fall to the late second round. Granted, I haven't got an idea of what teams could potentially be in the market for an FS in the draft, but even in the middle of the second, there would be a few GM's thinking "We can't miss this guy".x
If - Big IF - he's there when we pick in the second round, I wouldn't mind Grigson pulling the trigger on him, even if there are other areas of the team that we need to adress.
Bethea stays for a few years, and Clinton-dix is picked in the first round.

Can we really look forward to the draft with so few picks?
It's not the number of picks that matter, but what you make of them.
2010:
1st round - Jerry Hughes
2nd round - Pat Angerer
3rd round - Kevin Thomas
4th round - James McGlendon
5th round - Brody Eldridge
7th round - Kavell Conner
7th round - Ray Fisher
7th round - Riccardo Matthews
2011:
1st round - Anthony Castonzo
2nd round - Ben Ijalana
3rd round - Drake Nevis
4th round - Delone Carter
6th round - Chris Rucker
2012:
1st round - Andrew Luck
2nd round - Coby Fleener
3rd round - Dwayne Allen
3rd round - T.Y. Hilton
5th round - Josh Chapman
5th round - Vick Ballard
6th round - LaVon Brazil
7th round - Justin Anderson
7th round - Tim Fugger
7th round - Chandler Harnish
2013:
1st round - Bjoern Werner
3rd round - Hugh Thornton
4th round - Khaled Holmes
5th round - Montori Hughes
6th round - John Boyett
7th round - Kerwynn Williams
7th round - Justice Cunningham
Quite a number of those picks didn't really make it for one reason or another.
And lets not even begin to mention the player we missed, but could have had.
-
Yankey would be a steal in the bottom of the third round. I doubt he'll fall that far.
-
Asamoah would be great, as would Mack.
For me, the draft could be BPA after the third round. Heck, even the 2nd and 3rd could become BPA, depending on FA and if there's a run on QB's in the first round. I could see one or two of the top Guard prospects falling to the late second round, perhaps even the third, and if we haven't made some FA signings there, who knows..
That said, Beasley/Montgomery would be nice picks, but isn't Beasley a DE? I like Skov as well at ILB.
Have to say that I would love to have McCullers.. I know he'll be long gone when we pick, but he's a freak.

Just wondering if anyone who posted in this thread has had a change of heart lately

In the world you and Dustin propose.... any rookie not starting their first year is not going to pan out.
I don't think that's the case in the NFL. Not every rookie is ready to go in their first year.
I don't think Grigson is ready to write-off Holmes just yet....
That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Grigson go after a top quality interior lineman this off-season. Our O-line is getting worse, not better. Something has to be done this off-season.
That's not what I'm saying at all.
Thornton has been bad and doesn't look up to the task. I'm not impressed.
Our O-line is terrible, that's obvious to everyone, including Grigson. That HAS to be dealt with, and that starts at Center.
Satele is not getting the job done, and if Holmes isn't playing now (know he was on the injury list before the last game), Holmes probably isn't better,.
Getting someone in there, like Mack, that has proven himself in the NFL makes a lot of sense if you want to improve the O-line instantly.
-
Given up on Thorton already? Ok.....
Has his performances so far given you any indication that he's someone we should build our O-line around?
Haven't "given up" on him, but I haven't been impressed with what I've seen so far.
-
I believe Grigson thinks he's already done that.
The player's name is Khalid Holmes. Drafted in the 4th round last year.
Whether that pans out or not is another story.... but I think he's at the top of Grigson's plan.....
Well, you gotta wonder... Considering how bad Satele has played, he still starts every game and Holmes isn't on the field.
If the coaching staff thought he was the answer, I'm sure he would have been playing by now. For the coaches to still have faith in Satele, Holmes can't be showing much in practice.
If he pans out - Great. But very much like Thornton, I seriously doubt that he's the solution.
-
Is Satele a FA in 2014?
No
-
Getting a quality Center has to be high on Grigsons to-do list.
-
I would love it if Chapman could stay healthy.
Drafting Yankey would be fine by me.
-
Well "It's all good" seems a little much, considering the last couple of games.
We won against the Texans, but that doesn't mean that the problems we had in that game is of no concern. In that game our D blew chunks in the first half - Today it was in both halfs. They gave up 38 points!
Our O-line is probably the worst in the league right now. That's a cause for concern, both with regards to protecting Luck and running the ball.
Outside of T.Y. Hilton, our WR's are not exactly Grade A.
Our secondary have done reasonably well this season, but the last couple games.... Not so much.
-
It's not only about losing today. Or the way it happened.We didn't do much better last week against the Texans, even if we won that game. That win was fortunate, and more or less down to Luck &T.Y. and a missed field goal.
Our O-line is a mess. Absolutely horrible. If there isn't significant improvement in the way they play, we're going to mess up the rest of the season. If anyone still think that there's no need to look at Guards in the next draft and FA, I encourage them to watch the tape of the last couple of games. That it wrecks havoc on our running game, and causes Luck to get hit way to often is a major problem.
But even if I could ramble on about how bad our O-line is, they can't take all the heat today. Our defense gave up 38 points - 38!
So Mathis had another couple of sacks - But we still gave away a ton of big plays.
That we don't have a group of WR's that's good enough has to be obvious for everyone. T.Y. will make some big plays for sure, and every team we play know that he's more or less all they have to focus on. DHB, Whalen, Brazil and Reed? Not exactly a grade A group of WR's.
I'm starting to think we've been punching above our weight, and that our record doesn't reflect how good a team we have.
-
That's it... I'm done.. Can't stand watching this anymore.
-
Wow.. This is way beyond pathetic.
-
These last two games have been a joke.. Even if we won last week
-
Can't believe they're getting paid for this
-
You have got to be kidding me....
-
This is going to be brutal
-
Defense!
-
At least we have Mathis

Another uphill battle... Crappy O-line

Everyone looks bad right now. It's seems like everything we do, we do bad and every decision made, is the wrong one..
We won against the Texans, but we got lucky in that game.. Last week was horrible and today we're down by 14 early, can't stop the attack and can't get anywhere on offense..
We're terrible at the moment.
