Well Periman is already a training camp and complete preseason behind and at this point has to be a not ready for prime time player in week 1 or 2.

The scenario would be somewhat different if we had an A.J. Green or Antonio Brown but even having a top flight WR is not gonna change our defensive issues which at this point I have to say are not fixable. We only have so many fingers to put in the dyke!

Joe will not go down without a fight but Joe can't wage war if he has no long range missles. Every great team throughout history has had at least one deep threat. Believe me Breshard Perriman is not that guy!

Paragraphs? We don't got no paragraphs! We don't need no stinking paragraphs!

It's so nice to be loved .

Of course I'm for real on this thread. For starters I would challenge anyone to name a team that is a proven winner that doesn't have a deep threat burner to keep defenses honest? Without that we have no arsenal other than Steve Smith and you can neutralize Smith with a cover 2 strategy. On top of that our run game is based on our ability to move the ball down the field and if we can't keep the defensive backs cleared out with our deep threats then they crowd the line and Forsett's real talent is when he gets to the 2nd tier. That's just for openers. We can talk defensive line if you want. Timmy Jernigan replaces Haloti Ngata ? In what universe? All-pro linebackers we have for sure but besides Dumervil we have no lights out pass rushers. Just can't count on Ladarius Webb anymore and if we lose one more DB well ? On top of that Marc Trestman is no Gary Kubiak for sure. Does anyone remember his dismal offensive juggernauts in Chicago. Does anyone think it strange that Cutler is still in Chicago while Trestman is not? So much more going on this year than meets the eye.

Wasn't it Poe who said " and if we shall rise let us all rise like a Raven "

Time to come out of retirement with this thread. We are in trouble right now. 4 out of our first 5 games are on the road against some really good teams. I try to call it as I see it and it's time to worry. We barely won the Saints game and I don't care what anyone says about it being pre-season and that wins don't matter. We all play a game to win. I don't see a winning mentality out there and John Harbaugh showed me that he has lost control. How could he possibly say in front of the cameras he didn't use the F word? Is he living in some alternate reality ? and on top of that we got no Ngata!! Be afraid-Be very afraid!!.
