I know what you are saying, but the "minded" part is sometimes deceiving. Baltimore won against the #3 defense (SF) last year, and their defense was ranked 17th. In 2011, both defenses were bad, the 27th ranked defense beat the 31st ranked defense. For 2010, the Steelers lost to the Packers, and the Steelers had the #2 defense. Before that, it was NO beating the 18th ranked defense of Indy. Before this year, you have to go all the way back to 2008 to find a dominant defense who won the Super Bowl (Steelers). In 2007? The Giants beat the better defense (NE #4), and we all know what happened in 2006. So I agree with you that if we can get a top 15 defense, coupled with our offense, we will be very competitive.

Slauson - played every snap at LG for 815k, a FA steal, deserved the new contract; brings some nasty to line with Long Long - 1st round pick, 2 sacks in over 1,000 snaps Bushrod - big FA signing, played very solid Garza - Line leader, was consistent, but not great Mills - 5th round rookie, started all 16 games, needs to improve

I agree about most fans, but those two plays were pretty blatant. Why is a 10 point swing ridiculous on 2 game changing calls? For the punt, the 49ers retain possession of the ball, now at their own 35 and can get to the end of the quarter before Seattle even gets the ball back. Even if SF doesn't get another 1st Down, there is a good chance that Seattle starts with worse field position than the 38. The 10 points was with the assumption that based on field position alone, that would alter the rest of the game. I was figuring +3 pts for SF and -7 for SEA. So just say they only gain those 15 yards and punt anyway, but now Seattle starts at their own 23, there is a much greater chance they do not score. Even if they score a FG, they are up 19-17 as SF drives and can kick a FG with 55 seconds left to win the game instead of being forced to score a TD. That punt missed call easily was the difference. So if not a 10 pt swing, at least 7 (-4 SEA and +3 SF) but either way, it was the difference in the game which was my point. I just lumped the other bad call in about the fumble because it was an obvious missed call and something that needs to be reviewable.

That will depend if they need more money for this year or next year.
-
He was one of 7 inactives and doesn't suit for game. http://espn.go.com/blog/seattle-seahawks/p...eattle-seahawks They didn't even want him in uniform in case his drops would spread to the other players, lol.
-
Yeah, I still am pissed about that game. We should've won easily, but our defense was banged up.
-
How can Denver score the most pts in history and get shutout in the 1st half of the SuperBowl? Hard to call Manning the best QB ever with a loss here. He will still be top 5, but below Brady and Montana at least.
-
I have no issues bring Garza back for another year or two while we groom some other guys.
-
I would love to target a Safety, either Ward or Byrd. I just figure that is where we could see the biggest upgrade vs Conte, Wright, Steltz, etc. As much as we got gashed in the run game, I believe that was more due to injuries than personnel. However, our Safety play was abysmal and would seem to be the biggest single position upgrade we could have. Conte was the worst player of all the starters in all units besides maybe Podlesh. the #1 target should be the player that if we had no other additions would be the single biggest upgrade, and that has to be Ward or Byrd.
-
Thanks, not too much of a shocker.
-
I doubt we look at more LB's.
-
A bunch of Senior Bowl players go every year, and I believe we had 2-3 drafted last year from those rosters. So who are the potential targets this year?
-
Has any full-time Rugby player ever made an impact on an NFL roster?
-
I doubt he even makes the team.
-
What was your team name?
-
We are? I was just saying some guys had some tough decisions like the example I listed. I already locked MadLith in for Alshon as his keeper and Forte in the first round for him.
-
Some interesting names and decisions this year. The Bunny 3. (25) Peyton Manning (Den - QB) or 9. (85) Josh Gordon (Cle - WR) So the #1 player in FFB for a 2nd rounder or a top 10 non-QB scorer for an 8th rounder? For mine, I am stuck between 4-5 players, depending on offseason acquisitions, etc.
-
Looks like Kyle Long may make it as well: http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/bears-cb-t...&ocid=yahoo That would make 5. Really nice if Long makes it as a rook.
-
OMG yeah, not a humble one in the bunch. Hopefully Sherman busts his knee like Bowman in the SB. On another note, that had to be one of the worst officiating playoff games I can remember. So many non-calls or wrong calls on Seattle. When Bowman got hurt, he was on the ground for at least 1-2 seconds before some Seattle player dives at him and rips the ball out of his hands. Then the running into the punter call, that was a clear hit and should've been roughing. That was at least a 10 pt swing and was the difference in the game.
-
Jairus Byrd, T.J. Ward, and Michael Bennett. I would love Mack, but I doubt we can afford him. We will hopefully get one of the other 3 I mentioned.
-
Well they had a 2 game lead in the division with 4 to play. They surely imploded, but they would not even been in the picture with an injury to Megatron or Suh for a significant amount of time.
-
Caldwell seems like a safe pick. I thought the Ravens regressed a lot this year, and they were no offensive juggernaut last year. We will miss Schwartz and his bone headed decisions, that is for sure.
-
Actually, after listening today on the radio, they had some great points why it would not be: 1. It is Detroit, enjoy the city 2. The team is tied to Stafford, and some do not think he is a franchise QB 2a. Stafford said he doesn't need to be coached 3. More money offered elsewhere 4. You have to play the Bears and Packers twice a year, and AP twice a year, not an easy division 5. Did I already say you would have to live near Detroit 6. Team has a few superstars, and then no one else. One injury away from being more mediocre

https://twitter.com/NFL_ATL/status/422870617138819073 Just think how they felt when a drunk Jim Schwartz came off the plane instead. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...36877--nfl.html This is a good point, DET seems like a better core over TEN yet he chose the Titans. It must be Nashville over Detroit.
