With a loss imminent, now we wait for SF later to see if we can move into the #2 slot.

Yeah, they have been brutal all year, and the Bears have gotten their share of missed or blown calls.

This team was not interested in winning this game. Actually had a chance before INT and fumble, now just get Howard 25 more rushing yards and sit him. I would sit all starters in 2nd half.

Barkley with another red zone INT, 6 of the last 12 possessions have ended in an INT. There is no way he is on this team after this game, he has gotten worse with more playing time. JAX up by 10 in first half, if they win they are guaranteed to draft after us. Jets tied with BUF, and LA and SF play later.

Definitely a concern, it will be interesting to see if he even comes out after that performance, or stays another year (to avoid Cleveland).

I came away with the exact opposite opinion of him. I haven't watched him before the Sun Bowl, but he seemed to have all the Cutler "playing traits". He has a great arm, can make all the throws, is mobile, but made a couple bad throws that ended up as INTs (one pick-6) where he couldn't read the defense. I actually think this game is going to make CLE pass on him. from NFL.com: Take a look at some of these clips: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2...l-score-results To me, he looked just like Cutler. 2 TDs, 2 INTs, and a fumble lost leaves a lot to be desired. He came into the game with 4 INTs, and those came in 2 games (2 each), both losses. So in losses, he threw 2 picks in 3 of 5 losses with an 8-6 TD-INT ratio, and in wins he was 22-0 TD-INT. We will see what Watson does against Ohio St. tonight.

If he is actually injured where there is potential for a bigger injury, then you absolutely sit him. I just don't think it is anything major where it would get worse.

You can't just pick a QB regardless at #3 because top 5 picks do not come around often. If we have a QB rated in the top 10, then you pick him at #3. If we don't (or they are already selected) you take the best player available.

I could see an argument either way. We are about to have our worst season in 40+ years and we don't know who are QB is going into next season. On the other hand, like you said, we have played competitive and had leads in many games with 3rd stringers and guys off the Practice Squad.

I think you play him as normal until halftime, then figure out resting him in the 2nd half. If we were worried about injuries in meaningless games, all of our starters for 2017 would've been resting for 6 weeks now.

Nothing changes with the guy. Another season without a playoff appearance for him is now no longer a coincidence.

I don't think Watson makes it into the 2nd, but if we take #36 and #68, you can move back into the first at #22. In this scenario, we would lose Kupp, but if we re-sign Alshon, and maybe sign someone like Pryor, Stills, Wood, or Aiken, we could close that void. Revised Draft: 1. #10-Marlon Humphrey, CB 1. #22-Deshaun Watson, QB 2. #33-Ryan Ramczyk, OT 3. #65-Budda Baker, S 4. #99-Chad Wheeler,OT,USC 4. #108-Gerald Everett, TE 5. #131-Tanoh Kpassagnon,DE 7. #193-Tarik Cohen, RB

With the news of the Rex Ryan firing, I was looking to see who the lead candidates would be for HC jobs going into next season. We may or may not retain Fox (still up in the air) after potentially our worst season since 1969, but I could see both sides of the argument. With previous HC experience: Tom Coughlin, 70 ys old, 170-150 regular season record, too old for long-term position? Rex Ryan, 54 yrs old, 61-65, seems to be more mouth than anything else Gus Bradley, 50 yrs old, 14-48, never did anything outside of Seattle Josh McDaniels, OC New England, 40 yrs old, 11-17, the Cutler of coaches, everyone seems to hate him Jim Schwartz, DC Philadelphia, 50 yrs old, 29-51, seems better suited for Coordinator role Coordinators: Kyle Shanahan, OC Atlanta, #1 scoring team in league, #2 in yards, I would not be opposed to him (especially if we retained Fangio) Sean McDermott, DC Carolina, 28th scoring defense, 22nd in yards, defense regressed big-time this year Matt Patricia, DC New England, #1 scoring defense, 8th in yards, defense has been dominant, but us Bill pulling strings, either way I would be interested Teryl Austin, DC Detroit, 13th in scoring defense, 15th in yards, average production, nothing special Darrell Bevell, OC Seattle, 20th scoring, 15th yards, should've just run Beastmode So out of those 10, I would say Shanahan or Patricia would be my top two candidates. Now, I know there are other candidates like McCoy in SD or Rivera in CAR, but they are still employed so I did not include them. What do you guys think?

Pix, You had to bring up the Mirer trade? That had to be one of the worst trades of all-time. We gave up the #6 pick in the 1997 draft for him. Seattle selected Walter Jones who is a HoFer. Also, we picked John Allred, a TE with our 1st pick in the 2nd round. So if we used the #6 pick on a TE, it could've been Tony Gonzalez.

I don't think he will be available. Why would Washington let him go after all the years of misery with the RG3 experiment? The only drawback to signing Cousins now is that he will be 29 in 2017 and you would've lost a good 4-5 years of his prime. I like him as a player and wouldn't complain if we went for him because he would be better than anything we had in a long time, but I think we are going to go the draft route with Hoyer/Shaw.

Congrats to Victorious Secret on his big win, 6th seed with losing record to League Champion!

Not for 1st round, our SoS is too high. We could tie them and draft 2nd every other round starting in the 2nd though.

1. Browns 1-14 (.564) - @ PIT 9-5 2. 49ers 2-13 (.513) - vs SEA 9-5-1 3. Jaguars 3-12 (.546) - @ IND 7-8 4. Bears 3-12 (.520) - @ MIN 7-8 5. Jets 4-11 (.492) - vs BUF 7-8 6. Titans ~ Rams 4-11 (.538) vs ARZ 6-8-1 The best scenario for us is obviously a loss, a SF, JAX and NYJ win. The NYJ win would also help our 4th rounder from BUF. If we can tie SF, we would at least swap with them for subsequent rounds. A Jags loss locks us into at worst the 3rd pick in every round. A win and we shouldn't fall below 5th because the Rams SoS is a lot higher than ours and the Week 17 opponents have similar records (and if we win we actually make MIN's record worse, thus lowering our SoS). So I still believe we are locked into 3rd to 5th with a potential best to tie SF (unlikely due to SEA) and rotate with them every round for the 2nd pick.

Could be our #1, Alshon is not signed and White may never live up to be anything. Either way, Meredith is definitely a keeper and could become a solid #2 for this team.

Jacksonville just pulled away, we now pick 3rd!

Looks like the Championship will be settled today with the 6th seed, Victorious Secret holding a considerable lead over the 1st seed, The Mad Lithuanians, but will ultimately come down to the later games. In the Consolation bracket, all games are projected to be within 5 pts of each other; still competitive in the final week. Thanks for the great year, I was decimated with injuries losing my top 2 picks (AP, Allen) and Woodhead for most of the season, but tried to hang in there with the big boys.

5th INT...... Seriously, this is sickening now. Just put someone else back there and hand off to RBs.

He still has to make the throws when they count. He has thrown some bad balls and had some terrible reads.

Barkley with his 4th INT, regardless of receivers and protection, he generally looks terrible. Way more bad than good. Some ugly throws, it doesn't look like he has the arm strength to make certain throws. I am now thinking Hoyer or Shaw and saying no to Barkley. I've seen enough, Redskins are not that good. He now has 11 INTs, every 17 attempts or so. Not good.

Is it the scheme? Is the 3-4 going to work with our personnel? I think we need a lockdown CB regardless. Jackson has been wide open most of the game.
