    11-5 for playoffs in NFC

    Just a gut feeling, but I think in the NFC this year, we'll need 11-5 to make the playoffs. I think 10-6 doesn't do it (except in the NFC South). We can only lose one more going forward. That makes the BS trick play loss to the Rams really painful. I hope we never, ever, allow Fisher to trick...

    Rams Game: The Ugly

    Ugly: Getting no pass rush on a third-string QB, though I will admit that Davis was unexpectedly mobile. As has been noted in many other threads, this is starting to be an issue, and is affecting our decimated DB play. Ugly: The refereeing. Not so much the refereeing through the game (we're...

    Rams Game: The Good

    Good: I thought the second-half offense looked like the Seahawks of years past. Marshawn ran the ball well enough and Russell was on fire. Good: ADB had his best game of the year. He looked like the ADB of a couple of years ago. When was the last time we had a 100+-yard receiver? Good...

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    So in light of Kearly wanting to move on from his (great) RT threads, a number of posters expressed a desire for a more civil forum where we could discuss actual football rather than descending into personal attacks. So I thought we could have post-game threads for The Good, The Bad and The...

    NFL's 10 best scrambling QBs

    http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/the_10_best_scrambling_quarterbacks_in_the_nfl_right_now/16741645?linksrc=foxmiddle_nfl It seems as though the article should have been titled "The NFL's 10 best running QBs". On that score, their list wasn't too far off. But if you consider...

    [Stupid Question] Signing UDFA / practice squad players

    I told you it was a stupid question. But what exactly does it mean to sign these kinds of guys at this point? Like Rashaun Allen, per a previous thread. Specifically, I assume there's some sort of very short-term contract with all sorts of opt-outs on the part of the team (that would be the...

    PC for President!

    So I just watched PC's latest (Thursday 10/25/13) press conference over on that other site. It's a bit long, but man, the guy just strikes me as genuine. Sure, he holds some cards close to his hoody, but I think he means what he says. He really does have a plan, and I'm impressed. I've said...

    #21, #24, #32, #25, #27, #5, #6, #31, #21, #24

    Those are the current power rankings of the teams we play the rest of the year (according to Billick at http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/powerRankings). Average: 21.6. Although three of the next five games are on the road, I still can't see us losing more than two of the next five -- meaning we...

    Penalties ... another perspective

    [The guys on the 710 postgame show mentioned something like this.] According to http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game , the eight most-penalized teams in 2012 were: St. Louis Baltimore Dallas Cleveland Washington Oakland SF Seattle (St. Louis was the...

    PC + RW: Peas in a pod

    I've been watching a number of PC's pressers recently on that other website. I'll say that I am impressed. He seems to try to answer questions honestly, with humility, but with confidence in his system and his talents. He's rarely if ever negative. It's always about "how do we improve?" instead...

    Edwards TD - Pereira - Carey

    Sorry if this has already been posted (I know there's a Carey thread, and I read that -- I couldn't find anything about this specifically). What I found really surreal about last Sunday's game was this: 1. RW throws to Edwards for a TD, as signaled by the official. The play was close -- no...

    Defensive woes

    I have some theories regarding our recent defensive woes. 1. Hawthorne made more of a difference than we may think. I certainly don't dislike Wagner, and I think he'll be a good MLB over the next few years, but starting a rook at MLB seems risky. And teams seem to be running up the middle...

    Whatever happened to WTIII?

    (You know, Walter Thurmond III.) Is he on IR? Practice squad? As much as I like our secondary, it seems they're an injury away from good-but-not-great. I remember from last year that WTIII was being viewed as at least a backup -- if not a potential starter -- but he seems to have vanished from...
