Might be the end of Weeden in the NFL.

We're a much better team this year, regardless of the record.

Lol. #3 in defense and #1 in TOP and you're still 1-3. You guys just haven't learned how to win games yet. Happens a lot when teams have young players. Plus you have Byron Bell on your team. He alone counts for 6 losses a year. 8 if he's playing left tackle.

Hey, I agree.

That's what's pathetic about it. Through four weeks if your team is #3 in defense and #1 in TOP, you should be 3-1 if not 4-0. It's not like Mariota is out there turning the ball over at will. He's been pretty efficient. Hard to understand how we're 1-3 considering we've played well for the most part... We just can't play for four quarters yet.

We're also very high on offensive redzone efficiency. A lot of it boils down to scrubs like Sensabaugh, Wreh-Wilson, and Griffin blowing coverage all day. And a lot of it boils down to incredibly conservative and predictable play calling.

As for Bell, we've been playing him at LG and he's played well for the most part. It's our rookie RT Jeremiah Poutasi that's killing us. And Lewan has been incredibly disappointing with all the penalties he's getting.

We'll likely be picking in the top 10... Need immediate difference makers with our 1st and 2nd round picks.

It's easy to blame the secondary but how is your pass rush? You can have the best cover guys but even they can only cover a guy for so long. Someone has to get to the QB and get the sack or force the ball out. It's the reason why the Panthers defense has played well in previous years despite having no names in the secondary.

And trust me when I say this. You would rather have that rookie at RT than Bell.

I got this one...

Nope, they're gonna get pimp-slapped by the Jets defense which includes the return of big Shel(don Richardson) on the D-line!

GO JETS!!!

Honestly I feel like the franchise is showing what a true joke it really is, and that mostly what everyone thought about Snyder meddling was true and has always been true. BUTTTTTT even though mccloughan had the wife incident his draft class really is showing insane productivity which we haven't really had since maybe the Champ Bailey year lol.

So I'm hopeful, also I'm happy they've been COMPETITIVE, I almost jump out the window every game but at least up until this point, they've played like an NFL team and not just a perennial loser team where you know its a loss. I think people will eventually get tired of losing close because in the end losing is losing, but they really have shown some improvement even with all thats going on.

As far as the Jets their D is sooooo good and with potentially still no Jackson [even though he might be a go], Reed out, they're pretty much screwed for the pass. If they can not shoot themselves in the foot the first quarter and a half like the Giants game I think it really could come down to who gets the breaks...

That said I'm still not sold they could play a whole season of competitive football and am eagerly awaiting blow outs and typical redskins losses lol.

I will say with Mccloughan I am hopeful if Snyder can keep his s* together.

Pass rush is much improved. It's not elite by any means, but it's certainly not the reason our guys are getting roasted.

Griffin, Wreh-Wilson, and Sensabaugh just flat out suck. I want all of them gone next year.

And Idk about that... I feel like Bell is better at RT (this isn't LT) than Poutasi.

They have been playing competitive ball lately and are FAR from being the worst team in the league.

Let's go Falcons!

Looked so much like 2006

[Roger Smith]

Go Saints!

[sycro]

Falcons pass D looks clueless in the 2nd half.

[Roger Smith]

Bonehead play by the Falcons D I don't think they'll be able to come back they're not coming back from this.

Falcons 5-1

Bit harder to win when you're not playing the Big X team Houston or the NFC Least.
