  1. bisciotti cares. great stadium just became greater
  2. i heard they will be ready for the 2018 season
  3. too much dead money. fo needs to do a better job with contracts. stop extending old farts to clear cap space. torrey smith makes no sense. how many burners do we need. we need receivers that can work the middle of the field and do it all.
  4. he would make for a solid returner for us. some sights have him listed at 5'7 so if that is the case im not sure what success he would have playing cb in the nfl but if he is 5'9 than that makes him a value pick.
  5. would be something if we could land eric berry or john cyprien to play safety for us
  6. depending on which positions are addressed in free agency which i believe will be wr, s and o-line i see us going cb or edge rusher at 16.
  7. best in the league
  8. best cb or edge rusher in the 1st and rb donta foreman or best cb/edge rusher in the 2nd rd
  9. we r set with yanda stanley lewis at g or rt. zuttah is serviceable but he is not the mauler we need if a power running game is on the menu. wagner unfortunately will demand too much so we r looking at bringing in 2 new starters for the o-line. new line coach will hopefully be a plus for the backups as far as coaching them up. team needs parts at wr, edge rusher/olb, ilb with orr gone, cb and safety and d-line if williams leaves. we will keep one between williams and wagner and i believe that the best move would be williams.need to ask guys to take pay cuts or let them walk. would be big of flacco to do so but i would not hold my breath for that to happen. need to hit a homerun in free agency, draft and ufa's. a lot of jobs on the line this coming season so i hope there is a sense of urgency from the coaching staff, front office and players that need to step their game up.
  10. i like wallace but not for $8 mil.
  11. wish the front office could find guys like edelman and hogan and wish we had the coaching staff that can utilize players like that if we did have any. i would say camponaro comes close but he has to stay healthy. maybe we have other guys but our coaches maybe are afraid to try things with them. i think chris moore could do damage on a wr screen or quick slant under 8 yards like brady runs with edelman or amendola.
  12. draft them all!!
  13. he is a big piece of the puzzle on defense but there are plenty of teams with lots of cap space. unfortunately we cannot break the bank for him.
  14. 2016: Drove his team down the field in Pittsburgh and scored the go-ahead touchdown that our defense crapped on the next Steelers possession, that possibly cost us a playoff spot and the division. Threw for over 4000 yards (for the first time in his career) and kept his team in a position to win games with one of the worst ground games in the NFL (ranked 28th). Had the highest completion percentage of his career (64.9%). Finished the season with an 8-8 record after coming back from reconstructive knee surgery, changing OC's mid-season, and having his (aged) number one wide receiver out for a good part of the season. Based on his completion percentage alone, which has been creeping up each year...you can argue he's getting better. Granted, we had to throw it a lot because our ground game sucked. I guess I'm just not ready to close the door on Joe just yet. I think he is a talented QB that could/will win the team another ring. We can come back to this conversation in a few years and you can rub it in my face if he just implodes over the next few seasons, but I'm optimistic. what the offense needs to improve as a whole is stalling for several drives. the offense goes into hibernation for 3 qtrs than wakes up in the 4th but it is usually too late. they need to start off strong and having a running game and minimizing stupid penalties will help
  15. every year they say flacco needs a better supporting cast yet they never get him anybody. flacco must improve his game as well. he needs a running game and defense behind him to be successful
  16. bisciotti says he has 2 gm's yet they still screw up picks in the early rds.
  17. Agree to your division reference. I would love to see re-alignment of divisions. Imagine if AFC North consisted of Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England and Cinci. No way New England sweeps every year. I have always stated that being in that weak division helps them greatly. wish we could have had the pats in our division when brady was younger. with him gone in another few years it would not be the same
  18. Ditto!! We have better players than Pats overall. Our coaches need better game plans and adjustments. the key is the adjustments. too late before they make them if they make them at all. pees needs to stop going into safe mode when we have leads. if john cannot get him to do that than john should turn in his resignation
  19. what about flacco? hehehe
  20. ryan has a creative oc in shanahan that utilizes his players skills and a gm that has made some solid draft picks. flacco has no creative oc nor players that can make plays. maybe dixon and perriman next season but they are not guaranteed to do so. flacco needs to put in the work as well. read defenses, be quicker in releasing the ball and make the guys around him better. instead of worrying about the deep pass lets make the routes shorter like the patriots do with edelman ammendola and hogan and when defenses move up they burn them with the deep pass. need more plays in the middle of the field as well.
  21. harbaugh and flacco are under pressure as well. if they miss the playoffs next season than several people will be out of jobs.
  22. failed high draft picks have hurt. correa needs to step up. i wanted thomas or spence badly. wonder if the scouts are being overuled by ozzie when we r on the clock or the scouting dept needs some better scouts.
  23. gruden made a big mistake. he is banking everything with his coaching staff just like harbs is this next season.
  24. zuttah was not awful but he does not get the push up the middle that we need to have a power running game. like i said on another thread if we can retain him for cheap than i would so he can mentor our draft pick. if we trade for a center or sign a better free agent that we can let him go
  25. i would not pay wallace 8 mil. we can get other free agents to do what he did at a cheaper cost.
