    Kayvon Thibodeaux rumor

    Wow that's a lot of faith in guys that weren't even considered draftable. A 4 year starter not being an upgrade over wet behind the ears long shot UDFA's? SMH.

    Elijah Arroyo going forward

    We have a new OC that was a TE coach and worked in the Shanahan system where TE's are elite pass catchers (think Kittle and Sharpe). I've got a great feeling about Arroyo and Barner this year. If anything we may have too many weapons.

    Poll: Better team, 2013 versus 2025?

    Lets look at this. Offense: QB: 2013. Russ just nudges out Darnold largely due to mobility. In terms of passing there's not much difference that year. OL: 2025. Cross, Lucas and Zabel are cornerstone guys. No one on the 2013 line got a second contract other than Unger. TE: 2025 Barner is...

    So much for running it back.

    No team ever stays intact after a SB victory. The myth of running it back should die.

    Walker to the Chiefs

    I’d agree that’s too much cash for a RBBC guy. He’s not durable enough to bell cow. But I wish him the best. As for KC, I think you had bigger needs than a platoon back.

    We will suck next year because...

    Minor gamble. RB is the simplest position to replace with college ranks literally flooded with solid players at that position. K9 is a platoon back. Too fragile to be a bell cow. No need to overpay for a RBBC player. Would I love to have him back? Sure but not at a premium price.

    Are there now more 12s than rival fans at Lumen

    Wasn’t even close to the percentages you quoted. Maybe 10-15% at the home opener and 1 percent at the playoff game. They are concentrated in certain areas so it can look like more, but it’s really a small number.

    Another Ref thread (this will annoy you)

    They totally missed a blatant OPI by Puka in Sundays game. And I’m pretty convinced they miss a lot of the Rams pick plays. Whether that’s intentional or not is very much up for interpretation.

    Slow starts

    I call it rope a dope game planning. Keep your best stuff under wraps until after half time so teams can’t adjust. Pete did this for years.

    Is it true (playoff seeding)

    How can a fan base that invented the paper sack over their head be insufferable? They’re a cursed franchise. You sound like you have some personal beefs. And no legit Hawks fan would ever cheer for the Rams in a battle for the division. Like ever.

    Kubiak, terribly inconsistent

    Pretty sure you can only be odd or predictable. And again, most fans think a play call is odd or predictable when it doesn’t work. And again play not working can be due to way more reasons than the play call.

    Kubiak, terribly inconsistent

    We’ve played a lot of string defenses this year. Rams, SF, Hou, Jax, Minny, Indy, Pitt, and even Arizona. I’m not convinced Kubiak is a big issue but I get that fans want to fire any coordinator that can’t score 35 points a game.

    PFF Player Rankings Going Into Week 15

    Teams just stay away from him. Hard to make the splash plays when QBs are scared of you.

    Need to start faster

    What’s wrong with rope a dope? Play the first half close to your vest and pull out the bag of tricks after halftime when they can’t adjust.

    Elijah Arroyo

    Getting worked up about a rookie? Why? JSN wasn’t hot shit his rookie year either.

    its no longer debatable whether this defense might be...

    Different era. Defenses were allowed far more contact with receivers in the LOB era. That makes it hard to directly compare. But I’d have to say the defensive front is better on this defense but the LB’s and safeties were better in the LOB era. CB’s is a push since the LOB had Sherman and...

    The SEA/WA line already out

    Actually they are basically there to keep the bets even between betting sides so that the casino breaks even and basically takes the vig. So if Vegas favours one side its not because they think one team is better than the other, its that they think the bettors think one team is better and the...

    K9 out of the backfield...

    We've been terrible at targeting RBs in the passing game which is one of my chief criticisms of Kubiak. both Charbonnet and K9 have good hands. Get them in space with the ball in their hands instead of these annoying WR screens to JSN.

    Have trick plays become Kubiak's "great white whale"?

    Just remember that some trick plays are about putting stuff on film for opponents to think about. And then it can be used against them. Just think next time Kupp comes around and Darnold fakes the toss and hits Barner on the backside because everyone followed Kupp and JSN. I'm not a fan of...

    Closing out games

    You do know that teams run trick plays like that all the time? Often in situations where they are up 2 scores. I've lost count of how many times Bevell ran trick plays when we were ahead and cruising. It's a solid time to try it. Worst time to try it is when you are in a tight game and a...
