I'm honored you took my predictions so personally.


I did, picking the patriots to finish anywhere but 1st in the AFC east is unforgivable

the passing game and the pass defense is really bad. in a passing league ><

It's easier to just find things on this team that aren't bad. This list pretty much begins and ends at Justin Tucker.

Feel your guys's pain. What is that now, 4 straight really bad losses in a row? Ravens finding ways to lose.

You could say we're finding ways to lose, but it's really more like we are doing everything possible to avoid winning. Not at the Jets game, but in the 3 games before the Jets they left points off the board by trying to get TDs on 4th down instead of kicking FGs in close games. And CJ Mosley fumbled a pick-6 at WSH for a touchback; Jernigan fumbled a recovered fumble that would have saved a TD and kept it a 1-pt game. But this team really just sucks, didn't really deserve any of those wins anyway.

I would berate your team but my friend Mangina likes them.

I don't think anyone cares at this point. We know we're bad, and it's for a multitude of reasons that start with poor drafting, poor allocation of cap, injuries, poor coaching, and poor performance on the field.

Wish we had brought in Kyle Shanahan to run Kubiak's offense after he left, but Harbaugh doesn't like the threat of young coordinators who might supplant him as HC so he went with Trestman. Dummmm

I was kidding wow, no need for the lengthy response kid.
Putting trolling aside for a second, I think Shanahan will be a HC next year unless he implodes with his decisions like at the end of last game.
He is arrogant and egotistic though, I could see it being pretty bad when he's in a leading role.. like worse mentally than Jim Harbaugh.

I expect him to be a HC as well, since he's just done far too well not to get hired somewhere. At least he has an alpha personality, unlike some boring beta personality like Joe Philbin or Adam Gase. I have no opinion on how it'll work for him though; don't know enough about him as a person, and it'll depend on the organization he goes to (could be a shitty organization like Dolphins or some such).

However, my real reasoning for wanting him is that, after Kubiak left, they basically brought in Trestman and said "here's Kubiak's playbook, run his offense," even though his variant of the WCO is soooo much different than Kubiak's, so naturally he did a bad job and then just ended up running his own shitty offense in year two. Shanahan was there to be hired when they hired Trestman (they even interviewed Shanahan iirc). Shanahan runs pretty much the same offense that Kubiak does (both from the Mike Shanahan coaching tree). If you wanted someone to run Kubiak's offense, you should have brought in Kyle Shanahan... /rant

Crazy to think that Elam might actually be a noticeable improvement over Webb at safety, but Webb has been just that bad.

Plus we'll get to see if this Elam hype we've heard for seeming every training camp comes to mean anything
