I agree some of those games should be winnable but a few are actually quite hard. One thing I notice is most people tend to think about strength of schedule only in terms of the opponent's record last year. That's typically how it's mentioned on sites like NFL.com for example. But it's all a...

I think I've come around to the idea of making a big change in the leadership of the team. Personally I'd rather let McCarthy go before Thompson. The team just lacked any kind of intensity until the end of the game, particularly on defense. It was like they would try for a play or two and...

I just didn't see it that way. The second interception was off. But many of the incompletions, even though they weren't plays that were made, were accurately placed. On the drive where we got the field goal to go up to 23, he placed two balls into the end zone for Rodgers and Nelson and both...

Disagree on Rodgers. Saw a good number of drops or short arms from receivers. He had a lot of time in the pocket but the just wasn't much separation from the receivers. I put it on them mostly. It seemed that Jordy in particular had a bad day except for the TD catch and was looking for calls...

A report came out today about where the NFL essentially acknowledged the refs weren't good in the game and it primarily negatively impacted the Jags. I'm glad not to have the tables reversed of course, but in the end, I just want a well-called game. We've been burned very badly before by bad...

Just a few thoughts Studs: O-Line: In general they held up fairly well in pass protection. The run blocking is a little bit of a question mark still, especially on the stretch runs. I really don't understand why they try to run Eddie to the edge instead of using his size and going up the...

C/C-. Felt like we waited too long again to take an ILB, especially passing on Jack in the first, injury concerns aside. Clark's a good player and has pass rushing abilities, but I would have been okay waiting on DT and just getting one of those run stuff only guys that slipped. I kind of see...

Just hypothetically thinking, given that some analysts are saying he could fall into the second half of the first round now (though others don't buy that at all), if he was still around at like pick 18, who here would be okay if we traded up for him? For argument sake let's say it costs us our...

Personally I would have liked to see an adjustment where our CBs were jamming their WRs at the line with deep safety coverage (or basically the same D the Niners used on us a few weeks back) instead of playing off and turn and running. That's the best way to disrupt the short passing game as...

Well those are pretty big mistakes, but I also thought he had some other poor plays you didn't mention. When we were stuffed on 4 and 1 at the 41, on the 3rd down play, it was 3rd and about 2 and he caught the pass from while coming towards the center of the field on a stick route against a DB...

I'm fairly pleased with the schedule. I love that we get the Niners early in the season given how many changes that team has gone through and will need to figure out. I like that we don't have a series of physical defenses back to back this year (like last year when we had the...

Ron Wolf is getting inducted this year, primarily off a 9 year run with the Packers where they won one Super Bowl, made another, and won a lot of games. The Packers were 92-52 in the regular season in his tenure. Ron was also instrumental in developing the late 70's Buccaneers who had a few...

Probably not that they don't realize it (which I agree) or probably not that he won't make it (which I disagree)?

Btw, related question to all the Thompson detractors, but you guys all do realize he is going to end up in the Hall of Fame himself, don't you?

We don't win the Super Bowl every year because football games often come down to things that go beyond pure talent like luck and matchups and referee decisions and bounces of the ball and weather and wind gusts and injuries and a plethora of other things that no one can control. The fact in any...
