All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
We will go into last game of season with a shot at playoffs!
Problem on the QB front is we're simply not bad enough to draft the replacement. So we're gonna go into next year with one of these three guys at starting QB. Fitz, Smith or Vick. Because that's what is gonna be available to us. Or we'll take a 2nd round pick and try to make Bray the franchise guy. I don't think any of that is the answer at QB and I'm sure you don't either. So there we are still stuck with crap behind center, Vick would sell some jerseys at least if that counts.
Then we have our defensive woes where we have at least 4 spots to address. LB, S, CB.
And oh we need some WRs for whatever craptastic QB we have to throw the ball to.
Oh then we have a Guard who we must resign, a RT who's a liability and a C who's made of glass.
It's not all coaching that's the problem, sure it's a big problem, but so is the lack of a top flight QB and playmakers besides CJ and Byrd. Oh yeah, we need to resign or tag him too.
A top flight QB would hide a lot of the flaws without question, we're simply not in a position where any will be available to us however.
Our RT isn't a liability. Hairston is developing but has had a bad run lately. I'd like to add another prospect to the mix but it's not like he hasn't show he can play.
S is not a major need. Resign Byrd and we are OK. Wilson is not great but he hasn't really shown up as a liability either. If anything I'd rather upgrade Bryan Scott with a LB'er that also can start in the standard 4-3 set.
Another young WR is a need. But, as with any draft there are guys throughout the draft that may help. And David Nelson will be back. I think we missed him this year and he would have really added to our offense.
Wood gets injured I agree and I'd be a fan of adding a vet to back him up.
CB will be interesting. I'd like to see a vet added and McGee sent out to pasture. I wouldn't mind resigning Leodis who has played OK in spot duty but has been good in returns. But after that I'm not sure I want another rookie. Williams at the very least can become a backup FS and will add depth to our Nickel. Brooks looked horrible today but is a rookie and was at least in position many times today. Rogers is also developing and Gilmore is a given. There's too much youth there and I'd rather add a vet.
But the issue here is that canning Gailey has nothing to do with any of the above. If anything canning him may mean all new schemes where many players aren't fits and need to be let go. I'd rather not do that.
Are we mathematically eliminated or just "for all intents and purposes" eliminated?
For all intents and purposes, we were done when we lost to Tenn.
And of course we're not mathematically eliminated yet. We can still get to 9 wins. Cincy and Pitts only have 7. Even the crappy Cleveland Browns aren't mathematically eliminated yet.

No, if we had beaten Indy we'd actually be in a decent position.

Ok. So they'd have to lose all their games except for the one they play against each other then. We don't have tiebreakers on either I'm assuming.
