    What will be our reaction….

    I don't expect us to go QB at 16. I don't expect us to take anyone at 16 and trade down to get a second or another pick. I suspect we'll go OL or DL with our first pick(s).

    Are you excited for another season of Pete?

    No. I will watch but won't go any games because it's all rinse and rePete. Nothing changes not even Pete saying he's going to change things only to revert back to old patterns. He has a spiel and the players tuned him out 7 years ago. But Jody Allen doesn't want a new coach. She wants a...

    Anyone watch Brendan Nelson on YouTube?

    I think both Brendan and Brandon are great. They have different strengths and I listen/watch their individual pods and when they work together. Brendan is more of a analytics guys and Brandon is more Xs and Os. I find other podcasts more entertainment orientated and gimmicky although Brandon...

    Most liked 'sleeper'/'forgotten' Hawks.

    I'm not sure they're the most underrated but Mebane & Red Bryant are often overlooked for their contribution to the team.

    Make your bold draft prediction for the #5 pick

    Trade down with Atlanta for a second rounder and maybe and late round pick. IDK who will be there at 8 but maybe JSN or Murphy. Regardless, we're overhauling the D and have needs at RB, guard and receiver so I bet Schneider uses the #5 to load up on later picks.

    I vote for Romo crying on the turf after the botched snap.

    Purposely tanking?

    I think "the plan" is to assemble the worst possible team then try hard to win so that they can get a high draft pick while looking like they're serious about winning. I hope Pete and John's "plan" works and they get the picks then are terminated at the end of the season so we can get a fresh start.

    It's Happened - Wilson Traded

    Been on this board and all its past iterations since it started. Seen all eras come and go. I'm torn on this too like some. Football is one of the team sports where one position is way more important than the rest. Good quarterbacks are hard to find and top 5 almost impossible. So this is a...

    It’s a system thing

    Player selection is part of any "system". I don't think you can separate the two. The biggest factor in the team's slight (until this season) drop has been drafting and FA signings. Snyder and Pete have not been able to assemble the team needed for the Carroll's style of play. That goes for most...

    Why so quiet?

    This pretty much nails it. I'll just add the first point is the primary reason and don't forget podcasts and Youtube. We like to think that this board had a big following in the past but when compared to traditional or other digital platforms its audience was and continues to be small. It...

    Agreed. It's the oldest misogynistic trope in the book.

    New Playoff Format

    The NHL is the worst and an example of the problems with a bigger playoff pool. Teams have little incentive to go all out in the regular season. Instead they do enough to get into the playoffs then coast through the rest of their regular season schedule. We already see enough of that in December...
