I think you are seeing history made. A whole lot of people get it on a much deeper level than ever before. (Maybe not Brees, and F the Saints anyway).

Lol, did you see what Akiem Hicks said? Yeah, Kap was blacklisted ... we signed Mike Glennon!

I was hoping to see Brees apology as lame because it would hurt the Saints and of course, that's awesome. But I have to admit, it looked like a solid, legit apology to me. Of course, it could still be fake ... I have no way of knowing. And I could see how some would feel even a good apology is not enough. But the words of the apology itself? They seemed to say what a legit apology should say. Changing the subject a bit -- Looks like there will be a lot of kneeling at NFL games this year. If fans get to go, and if I make it, I'll be kneeling too. It took a long time for me to fully get it, but people are dying for no reason, it's ********, and it has to change.

It was just lack of preparation. DQ underestimated all the details that need to happen to have the defense ready. He had been relying on Marquand for those things, and he just thought they’d keep happening after Marquand was let go. Basically, DQ bit off more than he could chew.

Sounds like dysfunction to me. If the scheme is changing why are we hearing about it from the offensive coordinator? Sounds like someone has made Dirk change his scheme against his will which is completely the opposite of how things should be working. Dirk sucks enough on his own. Why should we think he will excel at running A running scheme that he doesn’t believe in?

That is the most positive spin on "blow the entire first half of the season by not showing up" ever. 😂

At first I thought I traveled back in time to the Tony Gonzalez days.

After last year's debacle, I won't believe it from this coaching staff till I see it. If we can play at the level we should for at least 13 out of 16 games, then I'll start believing last year was just some weird anomaly. Till then ... nope, not at all.

Is that even allowed under the salary cap? Maybe Thomas finding creative ways to get us out of cap ****!

I honestly tried hard, but I really can't think of anything.

That's the thing -- last year was so random and is still unexplained. How were we so completely terrible for half the year. It's like coming home and finding out the babysitter fed the kids and got them in bed on time, but also accidentally killed half of them, and then you decide to keep using her for consistency. So who knows? Will we randomly waste half the year again? Dunno, your guess is as good as mine. Hope not.

I think Gurley might handle 50% of the handoffs. So running back by committee, but he's more than just a 3rd down back. I think he will be an improvement over Freeman, but only if we can block for him. And I do think we'll block better this year.

I think it will be a good year, yes. But not as good as Shanny or even Sark had us doing. DK is mediocre.

I'm surprised at how much love Lawrence is getting here. I think he's good, but I don't know about "generational." I think Burrow is way better. Do you think Trevor will outshine Patrick Mahomes?? If so, why?

I don't think Lawrence is all that special. I don't think his career will be anywhere near as good as Ryan's has been. I also think Ryan has at least 4-5 more years. Sometime in the next 2-3 years, it could make sense to draft Ryan's replacement to sit behind Ryan for a couple years.
