If the draft were today, we would hold the17 pick in the draft with a record of 8-7. So far, 3 teams are tied with 8-7 records, while Washington is 8-6-1. Buffalo, Saints and Bills are tied at 7-8 (13 ,14 &15). Get the picture? We need to lose to get a highly regarded prospect. If we win, we would be 21 at worst.

I agree, but, we need a slot wr too.

Because he was a Te and is a Wr hater.

Watson had one really good year with Brees and he's old! Cut him , as we have to many younger Te's. Now, with Boyle playing as our blocking Te, Pitta has time to roam. He had like 75 catches, that's better than most number one wr's and would have had more if Boyle or Max played more this season. Who's going to make up for that loss? That's going backwards in my mind.

I wouldn't cut Doom, he still has plenty left in the tank. He just missed a crucial strip sack of big ben in the fourth quarter. If you review the footage you will see the play. Saying that, I would cut Smith and Correa to get a premier pass rusher. Otherwise, next year, I would start Judon and Doom and bring Sizzle off the bench.

Actually, Pitta, Boyle and Waller catch pretty darn good. Flacco was erratic this year with passes to high, behind , or otherwise uncatchable. So, I see no weakness at the TE. Wr's have been awful, plain awful, basically hideous, probably the worst in the league, now that SSS is retiring.

We only carry 5 OLB's Doom (1 )is still a top player and Suggs (2) is coming back. So, Correa (3) needs to step up as Judon (4) is developing nicely, and Smith (5) is still developing, Who do we get rid of? We need a Center We need Corners We need safeties We need Wr's Now that SSS is retiring, name one wr currently on the roster that is a consistent receiver, can get open, run the correct routes, and knows how to help a Qb when the pocket collapses? Yep, we have none. Of course, we need pass rush, so, I can only see Smith as the odd man out.

If I were a player or coach, I'd play to win the game. As a selfish fan , I say drop the game, as a loss gives us a higher pick in each Draft round and a better waiver claim.

We were a Wr or Cb away this year. Every loss came from either lack of Wr play or lack of Cb depth.

We need a mauler at Center, too.

With the chips on the line we put SSS in the backfield to make something happen. That's an offensive strategy that some of the better offenses have been using the over the last few years, maybe we are catching up!????? That also brings up my never ending issue with our team; we need a damn good slot receiver. A receiver with burst and breakaway speed. If Camp had it, he would have scored in the fourth. Once again: Christian MCcaffrey in 2017

Okay, I did a little research and found this: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/2136743/christian-mccaffrey

Further google him and check out Wikipedia for some family history.

He plays all over the field, he even goes wide. He is a better athlete, faster, stronger and runs shiftier than the combination of Wes Welker and Julian Edelman.Let's compare him to Barry Sanders Heisman trophy season---- mind you these stats are only one season. Player All-purpose yards Rushing yards Receiving yards Kickoff Return yards Punt return yards Christian McCaffrey 3,496 (8.5 per play) 1,847 (5.8 per rush) 540 (13.2 per reception) 1,042 (28.9 per return) 67 (4.8 per return) Barry Sanders 3,249 (8.2 per play) 2,628 (7.6 per rush) 106 (5.6 per reception) 421 (20 per return) 94 (9.4 per return) Okay, he mainly played Rb in college but, in the NFL, I along with many analyst, believe he will be better used in the slot. This guy is extremely dangerous! No doubt a terrific player and probably the 2017 offensive rookie of the year.

I've been saying Christian McCaffrey in the draft. He's going to be a great slot, in fact, anywhere on the field.

I really hope your right. Our Offense has been dismal since Marchibroda.

I don't hate the guy, but, I am not happy with his performance, yet. He had the dropsies in college and a few drops so far in the NFL. A few games ago, I saw where he could 've fought for the ball, but allowed the defender to get the upperhand. So my jury is out, as I expect a first round pick to come in and be effective, right away. Especially, with all the hoopla about his physical stature and blazing speed.

I was hoping Julio Jones, but right now, he looks like Darrius Heyward-Bey. He's not playing much, drops some passes and then makes a couple fantastic catches. He's shown top end speed on a terrific crossing pass a couple games ago, but he's not consistent. As JoeyFlex5 led, let's wait to see how he performs coming out of camp next year. Hopefully, Flacco will be back on track and Breshad has more time with the jugs machine.

I say bring them on. I can't wait for the game, that's if, the OC allows us to run 20 plus times. We need to smash the steelers right in the mouth, and continue smashing them for the entire 60 minutes.

Orr was flagged twice on bogus calls!

The Good,ahhh....... maybe? : Finally? Maybe? The organization realizes we can utilize our backs rushing and receiving, to control the game. REAL UGLY: The attempt by Weddle to tackle Wentz, which resulted in a TD.

I hear Sproles is out. That's huge!

My bad....12-17. But, what's the difference, we are below avg.

Hey, competitors expect to win every play, whether in practice or a game. The team is currently 7-6 and 12- 21 over the last 2 years. You think he's happy? I'm not! He's certainly not looking for a participation trophy, he want's the Ring! Flacco's game has been off and the O/C's play calling is horrible. Flacco is begging for more run calls and a no-huddle offense, which seems to have fallen on deaf ears. If you give Joe what he wants, I bet his play will excel.

The good: Confirmed Dixon and Boyle are our future on Offense. The bad: We need corners, wide receivers, and pass rushers....yada, yada...yada. Same old story for years now. The Ugly: Offensive play calling, whereas, when play calling appears to be working we can't keep the rhythm for more than one series.
