This! I love it too, but look at how many times he's come through with it. Not good. What if we draft a top QB and tell Justin he has the choice to stay and fight or leave? If he stays, you tell him to make us trade the new guy, with the understanding that he has to the boring things right. We do have that luxury next year. With the remaining schedule, needs, at least, three heck yeah victories. (With his hand directly in it)

I have always thought that Fields would have to show that he IS the man THIS year. We can't say, he made progress and if he keeps this trend, he may be top five mentality. Clocks ticking, so you might as well draft the best QB you can get, because he'll be starting off with a solid foundation. While you have 5 years of low cost, pay the foundation.

Agree on the QB, was referring to his WR.

What would you think about Adam separating the threads to a: Keep Fields draft. and New QB draft

The dude I watched from Washington last night is extremely talented, but raw.

Mongo's tip of the week. Bet the moneyline on KC and parlay that with the Bears outright and the over. It will pay you 3-1.

Kiffen actually knew the cover two before Dungy. Dungy got most of the credit. Then came the Tampa 2, where the middle linebacker covered the deep middle. Dungy took the lions share of the credit again.

The only thing I would change, is that I would let Poles pick his next coach and tie his career to that. His drafting and thought process has been excellent. Besides, I think ol George had a slight hand in the hiring Eberflus.

As of now, we aren't in a position to be replacing starters, since our depth is so shallow. Whitehair is already there, next should be center. After that, let them get some continuity.

I know Wright wore Hutchinson out. They went at it all game long.

That would be a wonderful situation to be in. I do think you forgot about that team up north, as Rodgers and Love are hated examples. Popular practice is to never bench a starter, for any reason, when they are playing well.

I don't think this was part of his hiring. When they tore the team down to the bones, they knew it would be three years. Regardless of whether they keep Poles or not, there won't need to be a rebuild. Talent, cap and draft capitol are in house to start winning immediately.

Please no! Hell no! Warren is not even a football guy. Seriously, he was a basketball player. Leave Poles alone to finish his vision.

One good thing about MHJ is that he'll be ready on day one. He's been trained his entire life by possibly the best route runner of all time. (Along with Rice and Fitz)

If he's not picked up on waivers, he's a free agent. The team he goes to can sign him for whatever. He doesn't fit the new scheme the Colts play and he's not back to 100%. He's a perfect fit for this system and can probably be had on the cheap.

Here's my wish list for 2024. Ryan Poles GM Ben Johnson HC Vic Fangio DC asst HC Joe Brady OC Poles has done a great job of bringing in talent, despite the bungling of Flus. I'm not sure if the failure of Getsy is a result of Flus being too conservative or Getsy just not getting it. Too bad you sad. You had your shot. I'm sure Poles has already passed judgement on Justin. What he thinks, I don't know. But, for some reason, I trust him. Regardless of anything, Flus has to go. There is no room in the NFL for conservative coaches. Modern players just don't respond to it.

Braxton Jones needs to work on his squats and deadlifts in the off season. Nate Davis simply needs to train. Both of those guys were moving backward a lot in passed pro. Feeney came in and did OK, after the snap count issues, but was also giving ground. Darnell Wright had the most pressures. I can assure all that he had a solid game. Hutchinson was in a bar fight all game against him. Going forward, we need a new center that can hold his ground and Jones needs upgraded.

100! The way that box was stacked, nothing should have been run inside. Nothing! You have one on one's all on the outside, with a mobile QB. It has Flus written all over it. Coaches plan these scenarios during the week. Getsy asks which set, Flus inputs. Usless field goal was all Flus too. I wonder if that is where all the chicken shit calls originate. Don't get me started on that damn prevent defense.

I'm with you. The defense really screwed us when Flus went to the prevent. Those runs into the heavy box were stupid. Flus blamed Fields for not choosing to pull the ball and take it outside. But, if it didn't work the first time, why run that crap again? Also, on the pass to the rookie, why is Mooney not running that route?

There's another good one. Why is Darnell Mooney not running that route?

Flus had the balls to blame those plays on failed execution. He said Justin had the choice to pull the ball and go outside. OK, my question to Flus is, if he didn't see it the first time, why was it called again? I would follow with, why did you go for a field goal instead of trying for a first down?(when you were already up 2 scores) Then, why did you stay in prevent when they destroyed it just one minute ago? Flus ain't the guy...

I'm interested to see if any halftime adjustments are made by Getsy and Fields. Both started hot and faded. They need to tighten up the pressure up the middle. It is killing our passing options.

On a revisit of this, the OL and DL is everything. Whenever I hear that another team has both better fronts, it screams beat down 9 outta ten times. That being said, we are very close on physicality. Where they are better is through continuity and tenure in system. Everyone knows how important that is for the offensive line, as the best OL's are built through time. Defense is the one that's harder to figure, but I've been hearing more and more on the importance of cohesion on the DL. The LB's need it for gap assignments, while the DL needs it for pass rush coordination and timing. It's deeper than that, but y'all get it.

It's been trending better guys. We are number 2 in run offense and 1 in run defense. The OL is ranked 4 in run and 7 in pass. That's a huge win given the injuries. I know Getsy gets a lots crap, but that stat is a part of his offense. They've held it together on that regard. At this point, it's up to Justin to hit those guys that are flashing open. All told, this team is trending up, in year two of the rebuild. At the end of the season we should look at the blue chip players we have vs two years ago. A top center and another WR on offense and 3T, edge and safety on defense is the next level. And probably QB...

Bear down Pix!
