Olsen hurt, eh? Almost like Gettleman was smart for not wanting to hand an extension to a 33 year old with chronic ankle problems.

9/17/2017 2:30:56 PM

Chronic ankle problems? He hasn't missed a game since 2007.

9/17/2017 3:00:15 PM

what an odd way to make this about Hurney

especially given what the O-Line has looked like today

kicking a fg is a terrible move there

the OPI saved their ass and they still almost blew it

defense is stout but cam needs to get his shit together because the rest of the offense isnt going to cover his warts

Well that was a terrible product for the NFL all around, but I'll take the W. Shore up that redzone offense folks.

9/17/2017 3:55:01 PM

Two weeks, two wide open ed dicksons, two overthrows

9/17/2017 3:57:10 PM

McCaffrey in the end zone too. From tip to tip though, Cam looked better this week than last. The guy basically didn't practice all offseason so as long as the trajectory continues in an upwards direction I'm not worried. He actually looked his best on that last drive until the final pass he missed.

Broken foot for Olsen. Ah well, tell KB he's free to be a fat fuck and move him to TE.

9/17/2017 4:55:34 PM

Now it's funchess's time to shine.

9/17/2017 5:21:35 PM

I feared the worst, but at least he didn't injure his third leg

9/17/2017 5:22:47 PM

I guess that chronic ankle had him putting too much pressure on his foot

9/17/2017 5:44:13 PM

He has an ankle made out of weed???

9/17/2017 6:28:29 PM

Olsen had surgery and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks

9/18/2017 1:46:59 PM

Huney sucks. The kalil extension already hurting us.


McCafrey doesn't have the vision or size to run between the tackles yuck.

Need to line him up in the slot. Bad pick gettleman

9/18/2017 7:00:43 PM

Welp, the McCaffrey era is over after 2 games. No need to even let him play out the season, go ahead and see if we can trade him for a 7th rounder.

9/18/2017 8:48:40 PM

McCaffrey wasn't drafted to run between the tackles.

Jack Tocho working out for the Panthers. Go Pack?
http://nfltraderumors.co/nfl-notes-49ers-bengals-packers-panthers/

Apparently he's moved from CB to FS since college. Was 7th round pick for the Vikes, looked good in camp, had surprisingly great measurables at the combine, obviously likeable and from the Charlotte area. Will be interesting to see if he makes it. I thought he was much better at State than people gave him credit for.

9/19/2017 3:15:37 PM

I haven't been terribly impressed by McCaffrey either as a runner. As a slot receiver though? He's already the best one on our roster. He'll be on the Patriots in a few years breaking Wes Welker's receiving records.

[Edited on September 19, 2017 at 4:15 PM. Reason : .]

9/19/2017 4:15:19 PM

^^I thought Tocho had to move to FS for the draft because his combine 40 was garbage and everyone knew he was too slow to play CB?

9/20/2017 8:50:10 AM

4.54 was his time, which is decent for a DB. Faster than both Munnerlyn and Worley. Faster than the first safety off the board this year, Jamal Adams IIRC.

Tocho seems to play slower than those guys though. It's a moot point anyway; he resigned with the Vikes

9/20/2017 11:38:17 AM

Shula is the 1st drive of the game GOAT

9/24/2017 1:07:53 PM

Not a good look, especially on offense. Olsen, KB and two starting o-linemen out has crippled this offense. We were lucky to hold them to a FG on that last drive too after letting them run all over us. I don't see us winning this short of a total collapse by the Saints offense and some special teams mistakes.

Hate to say but I think it's time to rewind the clock on offense and bring back a lot heavy option plays. Cam's legs seem fine and we need to get the running backs in space.

9/24/2017 2:24:52 PM

his legs are fine but his shoulder isn’t

there’s no reason at all to put him at risk by having him run the ball or take big hits after pitching the ball

9/24/2017 2:41:10 PM

way to go, Riverboat

9/24/2017 2:51:02 PM

Those 16 yards are extremely important you know

9/24/2017 2:51:37 PM

Obligatory weekly post that McCaffrey was a wasted pick

9/24/2017 2:57:01 PM

Only if you're grading him purely as a runner. As a receiver he's Wes Welker 2.0.

Hell, he's easily been the best player on the field for us today, offense or defense.

[Edited on September 24, 2017 at 3:06 PM. Reason : .]

9/24/2017 3:05:30 PM

Cam would suck with Welker because he throws everything 100mph

It'd just be constant balls like that bounce off his t-rex arms for picks like that one

9/24/2017 3:25:02 PM

Matt Kalil is awful and any stanning for Gettleman should end after seeing how much he paid for him

9/24/2017 3:33:06 PM

I will continue to "stan" for the only GM to win consecutive NFC South championships and most consistent stretch of good football this franchise has ever seen. He did so while simultaneously bringing us out of the worst cap situation in the entire league. Firing him while keeping Shula will go down as the dumbest decision this franchise has ever made.

The fact that you people are making conclusive declarations on draft picks and FAs after 3 games shows you really have no clue how this league works.

[Edited on September 24, 2017 at 3:46 PM. Reason : .]

9/24/2017 3:44:11 PM

the same GM who had that run of success with a core of players he had no hand in signing?

you made a conclusive declaration about this season being awful before the goddamned preason, for fucks sake

Kalil has a history of being bad, and he’s been bad so far

9/24/2017 3:50:36 PM

By core, you mean what, 3 players? Cam, Kuechly, and Olsen? There are plenty of teams with 3 good players that never go anywhere. Having a good "core" means dick in a league with a 53 man roster. Gettleman's draft picks and roster moves were critical to run that of success, especially the Super Bowl run. Continue to downplay him, you'll see as we continue to go downhill over the next few seasons.

Also I'd love to be wrong about this season, but we're about 3 inches away from being 1-2 against a cupcake schedule. 6-8 wins looks to be about our ceiling right now. To win in this league you need a good owner, strong FO, coach and QB. We have at most 2 of those right now depending how you feel about Rivera.

9/24/2017 4:31:46 PM

Gettleman was the key. It's all over now. Seriously.

And McCaffrey is a bad running back. That much is obvious. Zero vision and he's too small/slow.

An RB should come into the league and thrive if he's good. He's not a QB, how many games do we really need to wait to realize he was not worth a top 10 pick?

9/24/2017 5:09:07 PM

^^Pick whatever number you like (I regret leaving off TD) but the point remains, a handful of top 10 picks doesn't make a winning roster. Otherwise the Browns, Jets and Bucs would be burgeoning dynasties by now. When did the Raiders finally turn it around? When they stopped fucking around and hired a decent GM to build the rest of their roster.

9/24/2017 5:26:28 PM

the Raiders have Khalil Mack, Derek Carr, and Amari Cooper

their franchise turned around when those dudes showed up

9/24/2017 5:30:20 PM

I wonder what the Panthers were told regarding the protests. Surely they were not 52 like minded guys who didn't feel like taking part. Makes me respect Julius Peppers more as it looks like he might have stood up to leader ship and stayed in the locker room.

I think a lot of teams will be trying to convince the guys to go the route the Cowboys took last night. Kneel before the anthem when all the cameras are on you to get your point across and then stand for the actual anthem.

I, for one, am sick of all the talk about this. I tune in to football to get away from all this political crap and enjoy a game. I could care less if people want to kneel or stand let them do what they want. I dont understand why most people give two shits about either side of this does it actually affect you? Nope didn't think so.

The reason things have gotten to where they have is because people care too much about arguing about things that have nothing to do with them. If someone wants to protest who cares? If you don't like them because of it don't buy their jersey. If you feel disrespected don't watch the game or go to the game. Pretty simple how to deal with stuff like this.

As an overall thing I guess thats true but on a game to game broadcast level thing its been getting much worse over time and has clearly exploded as of late.

9/26/2017 12:21:49 PM

the most recent round of this stuff (this past week) was 100% sparked by trump's tweets and comments. yeah, the protesting has been going on for a while now. but, and maybe i'm wrong, the fever pitch had certainly died down until trump's comments calling them "sons of bitches" or whatever.
