  1. Really, the defense lost the game? Had nothing to do with the offense turning over the ball and not being able to getba drive going when down 7 and a chance tontie late?

    Yeah lets just blame the defense lol

     

    Turnovers happen in every game.  Every team deals with it.  What, our defense is only accountable for their performance if the opponent gets the ball deep in their own territory?  Why does it matter how NE got the ball?  Our defense can't ever rise to the occasion and get a 3 & out if the opponent happens to have a short field?  What's stopping them?

     

    When our defense was on the field, they looked like complete garbage.  Bottom line.  They gave up 43 points to an undermanned New England team.  They lost this game.

  2. Any loss in which you have 3 or 4 turnovers can not be solely blamed on the defense.  

     

    But you can solely blame them for selling out for the run, yet not managing to lay a finger on a slow beatup runningback as he pranced along for an easy 73 yard TD run, making a 1 TD game a 2 TD game and pretty much sealing the W for NE.

  3.  Isn't that how he was billed coming from Baltimore? He has to be embarrassed by the number of points given up by the defense in the two playoff games. I realize he's not the defensive coordinator, but to give up 90 or so points in the playoffs, shouldn't somebody be held accountable?  Will Chuck make some changes to the staff? Even though the talent level might not be all the way there yet, I thought the team would really have turned the corner on the defensive side by now. 

     

    As it turns out, we were sold a complete lemon with Pagano and his supposed "defensive guru" abiliities.

  4. Davis & Toler were both hampered by their groin injuries during the playoffs.

     

    Landry didn't look good coming off his concussion last week.

     

    Losing your starting secondary certainly won't help in the playoffs.

     

    I don't put it on Chuck, I put it on the injury bug.

     

    Yet New England ran all over us, with 104 of Blount's 166 yards coming before anyone had so much as laid a finger on him.....which is an astounding stat.

     

    No....Pagano's defense is soft and completely flawed.  He seemingly has no clue what to do out there.

    We were sold a completely false bill of goods with this "Pagano is a defenseive guru" nonsense.

    As he's pretty much worthless as far as improving the defense, the one thing he was brought in here to do, I fail to see anything that he brings to the table as a head coach.

  6. This guy screams of being one of the thousands of insecure, delusional * Texan fans down here that got real excited when the experts picked them to be successful this season, so they went out and installed Texan window flags on all four car windows, a huge Texans sticker in their back window, and a huge Texan flag coming out of the bed of their Chevy Silverado.

     

    This was until about mid-October.  There is now nary a Texan flag to be seen for miles.....lol

  7. I've heard the exact opposite:  He loves his current gig and has no interest in coaching again.

     

    That being said, I have no interest whatsoever in replacing Pagano.  Ridiculous even to mention it as an option.

  9. How many 35 year old WRs have had a torn ACL?  It is a small group and I would really have no way of knowing the numbers.  But for a guy, who by all reports, is not only ahead of schedule on his recovery but way ahead of schedule on his recovery the very likely comment seems rather uninformed.  And the truth is no body knows how his body will respond especially for a guy who has not had a knee injury before.

     

    I could say it is very likely that he will return to his pre-injury self and it would be as valid as your comment.

     

    Considering that only a dozen recievers in the history of the NFL have managed 1000 yard seasons after their 35th birthday, and, with the exception of Jerry Rice, none of them were coming off of a torn ACL when they did it, odds are extremely likely that Reggie Wayne will not be as productive in 2014 as he was prior.

     

    Edited to add:  If there is anyone who could come back from this, it would be Reggie Wayne, so i'm certainly not counting him out.  I'm just not banking on it and I think it would be incredibly foolish not to address the WR position this offseason.

  10. Bey went round 1 pick of the 2009 draft.....GM's are not immune to bad decisions

     

    That was a known, explicitly stated weakness that Al Davis was willing to overlook due to Bey's physical attributes.

     

    GMs don't miss basic fundamentals like a guy being able to catch a damn football.

  11. Fleener finishes the year with the lowest drop rate of any TE in the NFL at 1.89%.

     

    I thought I read on here that Fleener has bad hands?

     

    Whenever I heard that I always wondered why a professional front office that makes a ton of money scouting players for a living would draft a guy in the second round to play a receiver position, if he had bad hands.

  12. Why is it very likely?

     

    Age.

     

    How many 35 year old WR come back from a torn ACL to be as productive as they were before?

     

    I mean, we *could* go to war with that WR corps I described above next year.  It would be incredibly shortsighted to do so, though. 

  13. Yeah, Rogers is a 'prospect' and an iffy one because of his off-field probs...we should not make the mistake of counting on him to the exclusion of other possibilities.

    Grigson is probably going after Maclin this off-season anyway...we need a Reggie replacement soon...and it takes an off-season and part of a season to get integrated into the system.

    If Rogers develops into a solid and 'stable' WR, then all is well...if he doesn't make it, Grigson will have a plan B and it won't be the multi-year development of another draft pick.

     

    Finally someone who gets it.

     

    Its very likely Reggie Wayne will not recover from his injury.

     

    The willingness of people to convince themselves that TY Hilton, an old gimpy Reggie Wayne, and 2-3 unproven NFL WR's is enough going into next season is frightening.
