We actually lost @ Washington in 2012.

In 2012 we fired Cam Cameron after a simillarly heartbreaking loss to Washington.

I was under the impression that Lewis got the job de-facto because Urschel was injured.

First of all, Kaepernick is protesting police injustices. True he is most vocally protesting on behalf of minority (esp. African American) communities, but his protests are for systemic change in police policy, police culture, and society in general. His stance is similar to, though not exactly, that of the Black Lives Matter movement, who, by the way do fight for the white people killed by police.

Statements like this are problematic. Not only are you suggesting that the U.S.A is the only democracy in the world (not true), but that it is the most free country in the world (also not true). http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking http://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/2014_Human_Rights_Risk_Index_Map.pdf In addition to that, the implication that you're making is to say that Colin should be thankful for what he has and not protest for a cause he believes in.

I am well aware of the Black lives matter protests, I am also aware that they quickly fade from the eye of the public.

If Kaepernick wasn't protesting, would you be having this conversation about police brutality, discriminatory policing, and systemic inequality? Initially, I too thought his kneeling/sitting wasn't enough but the mere fact that everyone is watching suggests otherwise.

Citing sources is (required) practice for good journalism and good science and prevents people from making unsubstantiated claims and presenting them as fact.

Pitta looking like the Pitta of old. How I missed those diving catches.

Mason and Housh circa 2010 were below average.

Not sure how you give playmaking after the catch to Maxx. Crockett taking half the raiders into the end-zone says otherwise.

I think it's becoming more clear that this cut had nothing to do with Justin's performance and everything to do with some slick roster maneuvering. Honestly performance wise Allen would be the odd man out, even after Houston.

Hard to call him our worst FA signing ever because he's been pretty good when healthy, but he's just never healthy...

Aiken was the No.1 Reciever for half the year when teams were scheming for him. Aiken, not Derrick Mason, not Anquan Boldin, not Torrey Smith, set the franchise records for consecutive games with 5 catches. Is he flashy? not really, but Aiken is the model of consistency.

Can we get Zorn as a QB coach, or is he an OC somewhere?

The Good: Young TEs produce. Gilmore, Williams and Boyle combine for 11 catches 117 yards and 2 TDs Juice adds another 5 for 47. The Defense. Prior to the last two plays the defense played well. A stretch of 4 straight series with an offensive or special teams turnover and they gave up only 9 points. Pees' hotseat cools slightly for a week even if only because the flames are pointed elsewhere. The Bad Turnovers.... This was incredible. Four straight series with a giveaway. No words.... Penalties: Once again, at the worst possible times. Dumervil took what was his best game thus far and just threw it away. The Ugly Missed opportunities: Several dropped picks throughout the game. None more egregious, of course, than Lewis' on the second to last play of regulation. Tucker's home voodoo. 58 yards is no chip shot to be sure. But this needs to be addressed in some form or fashion. Trestman:During that 4 series stretch Trestman made some of the worst playcalling of the year.

QBR and QB Rating are the same thing. QBR and Passer Rating are not.

Whats so incredibly frustrating is how well the Dline and linebackers played contrasted with the secondary....

Doss had talent, he just couldn't get the mental game down. Streeter was just a big fast guy. Brown has produced as a UDFA and a No.2 Wideout.

He outplayed Mclellan. Orr was all over the place. Also, Jacoby had a great 2013. It probably would have been better had he not been injured week one.

The way I view Rice is based on what he could have been in 2014, healthy and behind a top 3 O-Line. I think he would have been just as good as Forsett, at least. Would you trade Rice for Morris or Lacy? Probably not. They're younger and have less tread (especially Lacy) on the proverbial tires.

I legitimately forgot about Lynch, sure. McCoy also. Charles is an enigma. He deserves mention, but I think Rice is still better. Lacy? No. I love Forsett as a Raven, truly I do, but for a smaller back he doesn't use (or have?) very much lateral agility. Morris needs to learn how to catch first. Gore is a great back, and maybe a hall of fame player, but at this point he's an older version of Alfred Morris. Gordon and Gurley need to produce on the field before I move them up the rankings. Too many Mark Ingrams and Trent Richardsons and Darren McFaddens out there.

Lets try... Adrian Peterson Demarco Murray Arian Foster* Matt Forte Le'Veon Bell Anyone else?

Wouldn't best by position just be the depth chart....?
