Shooter Says

They didn't like sAintsblewdat either when my friend tried to register yesterday. The reason they gave him was, "Ain't happening." He finally got in with a generic name and they IP banned him when he commented on a post that no franchise in the world deserved it more and that the past 2 years were karma. Pretty sensitive bunch over there for how much they dish it out.

Really great info here - thanks for putting this together! The front office needs to be doing everything they can to get Kubiak. I figured he would be the best choice, but I'm surprised by just how impressive his numbers are.

Bump. I haven't been able to get on the Squawk for close to a week now.

Mathematically, we are not eliminated. But c'mon man, we've seen all we needed to see in the past 2 weeks to know that this team isn't making the playoffs.

Easy - the most important game on this list was the Home Divisional game. That gets my vote.

To add to the speculation...

You're right. I thought we had slid Kazee up to SS, but it was actually Richards who got the start there Sunday.

So the same same safety that played in Quinn's defense in Seattle won't be able to play in his defense in Atlanta? Is the scheme that different that we can't adjust for one of the top safeties in the league? I've seen enough from Richards that I would take my chances on Thomas.

I'll say it. I want Earl Thomas on a 1 year rental. I don't care. Even with all our injuries, if you all of a sudden get Dion back, Takk back, you replace Rico with Kazee and Neal with Thomas (maybe the best safety in the league) these injuries don't look quite as bad. The offense is clicking. Too much at stake this year to not pull the trigger for maybe a second round pick. Look at our offense the past 2 weeks. THIS is our chance. Don't get hung up on a 2nd round pick for a 1 year rental for a SB run.

If yesterday proved anything to me it's that this team is ready to win now. With all our elite defenders healthy, we probably would have made a run at the SB with how the offense has come together. But we're getting Takk back and probably Dion back as well. Kazee is a fine replacement. To me - having Earl Thomas this year, a Pro Bowl safety in his prime, is more valuable than a 2nd round pick next year when this team is in a win now mode. I don't want to waste another year of Matt or Julio's prime. If you're able to get Earl for a 2nd, I think it's a no-brainer and you do it. I'm not sure how the compensatory pick process works, but wouldn't we get a pick back for him anyways when he walks?

I'd rather blame that joke of a field that was soaked in rain.

Is it only week 1? Yes. But when the team continues making the same mistakes and continues to fail to score in the red zone as they did for a full previous season - there is cause for concern.

Depends on how much he wants. But he better get in line behind Julio, Grady, Coleman, Campbell, and even Poole.

I think Knapp would be the replacement and you let Matt do more play calling from the line of scrimmage.

It dawned on me tonight that we have to resign Coleman in the offseason. He’s a playmaker and watching Free try to pick up blitzes gives me flashbacks of you know what... Also, Free was on the sideline at the end of the game with another injury. Good luck to anyone who’s going to try and convince me that we don’t need to resign him.
