Good - no one else got seriously injured

Bad - the game until last 2 minutes

Ugly - we won.. would've rather lost and gotten a higher draft pick

Before season starters:

QB - Flacco

RB - Forsett, Tali

FB - Juice

OL - Monroe, KO, Zuttah, Yanda, Wagner

WR - SSS, Perriman

TE - ???

Now..

Starters for next game:

QB - Schaub

RB - Allen, Mostert

FB - Juice

OL - Hurst, Jensen, Urschel, Yanda, Wagner

WR - Aiken, Givens

TE - Crockett

I say.. rest Dumerville, Will Hill, Williams, Yanda - maybe have them play half the game from here on out. Can't risk them getting hurt and not recover in time for camp.

Pees gets fired at bye week (due to another defensive blowout dud vs Cardinals), then get to 8-8

This is why we are in this situation.

Just by looking at my at how he broke off from Sherman's press I can tell that he's the best Healthy WR on our roster. Might as well make him the #1.

Completely agree. Joe needs to build a solid chemistry first, though.. which may take a few weeks. Let's just hope Joe doesn't underthrow him (like he's done all season)

Excited to see what he can do. Check out http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000217223/article/making-the-leap-no-24-rams-wr-chris-givens

In the second video, he beats Sherman

Why didn't we trade for him before all these injuries happened..

This doesn't look good, but I'm surprised Steve wasn't in more pain on the sidelines. 4 rib fractures will make it incredibly painful to breathe and often-times cause acute dyspnea (shortness of breath). Since he didn't, I'm guessing it's the top ribs that were involved.. In any case, this takes normal people about 5 weeks to heal. Steve? Probably 1.

5 sacks for 21 yds and pressures on a lot of plays. No, they were not amazing.

Almost all coverage sacks. Good ~4s pocket until the linemen couldn't hold on for much longer. Terrible route running and/or play design basically all night. Run blocking was outstanding - huge holes for Forsett and crew

Offensive line was amazing! What changed?

Also, hope SS isn't out very long. Seems like Camp is done, though.. We need to trade for a WR in the next few days.

Any reasonable NTs, 3-4 DEs we could sign? I don't trust Ngata's health, and with Art gone, our abysmal run defense may even get worse. The only guy I see that we have currently with huge upside is Brandon Williams, and maybe KLM. We have literally no one else besides Canty.

Yeah, still hoping for a WR in either of the first two rounds. This does give us a bit of flexibility, and will even allow our new guy to ease himself in for the first couple of years, but I still really want us to pick up a long-term guy this year.

I hope we get a WR early in this draft as well.. It's unbelievably stacked and better than last year. Given the production from guys like Keenan Allen (3rd), DeAndre Hopkins (late 1st), Robert Woods (2nd), we'd expect someone like Jordan Matthews and Davante Adams to perform well in their first season

We need a Center and Guard or RT and a Free Safety.

RTs can be found pretty easily, Center yes - but we're probably waiting until post-draft cuts or for the Browns to spend more, and FS can be had in the draft.

So do people still think we should go WR with our first pick or look to plug up another hole? Personally I would like to grab an OT in the first and look to fill C, SS, G, CB in the later rounds. 

All the start-able OTs will be gone by the time we pick. We also don't need a SS. I say we trade down to low 1st, get an extra late 2nd, and grab a FS (Pryor in 1st since Dixon will be gone) and Matthews in the 2nd round along with role players. I'd also love Ebron in the 1st, but that'd leave FS as a major hole unless Omar can step up.

Yes! Move those chains, move those chains, move those chains, MOVE!

Alex Mack, we're coming for you!

It would make all too much sense for Steve to come here...which is why I dont think he will..

I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to go to a team that can get him bigger numbers. Flacco and the Ravens are not a "Numbers" team. Never have been. Steve might be wanting to show Carolina they were wrong. Going to Denver, Dallas or SD would all suit that cause better.

I would hope its not a money issue bc hes gonna make 3mill from Carolina alone. So any of those teams could scramble up 2-4mill for this season.

I really want Steve. But over the last 24hrs ive talked myself up on Julian Edelman. So if we got one id be happy.

I'd take Steve over Edelman in a heartbeat. He'd help groom our younger guys - including Torrey, he's cheaper, and he isn't a product of the Patriots offensive passing style.

This is a HUGE shock! Hope we didn't overpay him.. We need a Center, a FS, a RT, and a ILB!

If I were in control..

I'd sign Steve Smith, Dietrich-Smith or Mack, Owen Daniels, and Oher/cap cut RT. Next, draft Clinton-Dix then Jordan Matthews, and Cameron Fleming. The RT position would be a heated battle between Oher (or the FA RT), Wagner, and a rookie.

LT - Monroe

LG - Osemele

C - Mack

RG - Yanda

RT - Oher/Wagner

TE1 - Pitta

TE2 - Daniels

WR1 - Torrey

WR2 - Marlon

WR3 - Jordan Matthews

Slot - Steve Smith

Scary when you put all of these pieces together with Kubiak

Mack is the most expensive item, but we have more than enough cap space to play with to get him. The only question is how hard we'd pursue Daryl Smith..

Any mentions of Shanahan in the press conference?

Not necessarily. Who said Hostler is leaving? Kubiak may go and find a new WR coach. Another idea is that Shanahan could coach WRs (he's done it before) and Kubiak doubles as OC and QB coach

Precisely.

I'd love for Hostler to go away

Uhh we still need a new WR coach.

whoever the OC is, he should have free reigns find HIS personnel. Whatever way to be a successful OC.

If Castillo interferes w/ his regime, he should be allowed to find a new lineman coach.

I can't believe we just had to lock in Castillo that fast the moment season was over.

Munchek just got hired by steelers. Couldn't we take a look @ a former HOF lineman w HC exp & 20year of lineman coaching exp?

Castillo will do well in his second season with us, as long as we have an equally capable OC calling plays and game planning to the strength of the offensive line and the RBs.

I like the Detroit guy. He made Reggie Bush a star and Joique Bell a top 15 RB. I discount all of their passing stats because it's just not fair with Calvin. I could probably QB for the Lions and throw to him while completing the pass almost all of the time.

Hostler needs to be fired.

No need for the extra point, unless pushed back to 25+ yard line to make it more interesting. It'd be fun to contemplate whether to kick for a 40+ yard FG or to go for it from the 3 yard line.

Seahawks. Broncos fans are as fickle and annoying as 9ers fans.
