I like the Golden Tate option the most. I think he is better than white and contract wise it's a better move than Alshon. I'd like to see Ozzie make this happen.

I'm not commenting on whether it worked or not. I'm commenting on the precedence, and there is precedence. Ignore logic all you want but the fact remains we've done it before.

I don't think the comparison is all that solid to begin with. Monroe had just been beaten out of the starting LT job making him a much more attainable acquisition. The bears aren't going to give Alshon up for two mid to late round picks. Of course if he were to be available for something like that I would say jump on it in a heart beat. Alshon is far and beyond more valuable for the bears than Monroe was for the jags and in general.  

We would have to give up probably a second round pick. A second round pick or whatever steep price that it would cost for one player is something that we have not done before.

Well, using this same logic invalidates our actual trade made for Eugene Monroe in the 2013 season. Granted, we did nearly make the playoffs and we had a better record, but the fact remains that it's a near-identical comparison. Both players (Monroe & in this case Jeffery) are or were in the last years of their respective rookie deals and were or will be free agents in the following off-season, although we were admittedly 2-2 when we made the trade, but we could easily be 1-3 at the same point (October 2nd is when the trade was made).

and that worked out so well

I don't know why we would trade for a guy with only one year and could no doubt make more money somewhere else. the trade only makes sense if we have a shot at the playoffs and those chances are slim.

The only way I would entertain this thread is if we missed the playoffs three years in a row. Harbs is an amazing coach. The problem with this team is Trestman isn't completely comfortable with his offense right now and there isn't a leader on the defensive side of the ball. I think trestman will really get the offense going here soon. I mean the offense actually hasn't looked terrible for being under a new coordinator who is running an offense he isn't used to. I believe we have probably the most talented defense in years, but without any leadership on the field they are just crumbling.

Burnt Pultry

while it was KO who messed that up..

 

what on earth was flacco doing..he had 2 guys open

 

whatever

 

dalton has found the clutch gene..

 

flacco lost it

Joe shouldn't have to win the game on 4th and 17. The team lost it with the exception of SSS

Well we suck

Choking

This second half defense is the defense I was expecting this offseason, hopefully they can keep this kind of play going.

Allen and LT need more opportunities forsett just isn't cutting it so far.

Harbs just take the playbook.

At least SSS showed up to play today

What kind of play call was that?

Now Joe blows an opportunity to change the momentum

Hopefully they come out fired up

They are playing so lazy on offense

Waller looks good on punt coverage. There's a bright spot.

It's both.

It is both, but I with the amount of penalties I think the players take more credit

Losing Kubiak is costing us and our secondary still can't cover .

Losing outside speed in Torrey also cost us .

No Torrey , Anquan ,Pitta ,Jacoby (yes Jacoby ) , Rice (yes Rice)

All playmakers gone

I don't think kubiak could do much with the way these guys are playing. Players are making stupid mistakes. It's not as much a coach issue as it is the players just aren't playing good football

I'd love to blame the coaches for a large part of this, but the players are just playing terrible

At least we have good tight ends. That's a start

Joe Flacco is definitely elite

Nobody's job will be safe after this season.

Holy Molly Playoffs? Did you say playoffs?

I was implying bengals. I though it was a given that we aren't making the playoffs this year
