Our team looked whooped and worn out down the stretch completely. Correct... because we had by far the more difficult and physical schedule.
April 22, 20242 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: I didn’t say 10.7 Pollard move was good. That’s you and your agenda. I said not signing him to top dollar long term contract was wise. Actually a pretty large divide in the two points. So I have to go back to quote you now?

If that is the case, you lose games it's because of your defense. So IDK what you define as "better".You have different schedules. I suppose you would know if you compared common opponents and had the identical players playing They had the number one O league wide. We had Hurts break Franchise scoring records.

April 22, 20242 yr Just now, joemas6 said: So I have to go back to quote you now? Yep…because you are trying to spin my words. Getting rid of Zeke was crucial move they needed to make. Making the mistake of opening up the vault for Pollard long term would have been stupid.

I love that Hurts is historically all time great at converting short yardage. Completely a positive for me. Ball hog all day long putting the ball in the end zone as far I’m concerned. Scoring TDs is the name of the game. Hurts scored more than anybody ever for us. With a HC that has proven to not be good running the O and a first time OC we had to fire. That was something very special that happened last season.

Wisely spent $10.7 mil? On a guy that they didn't know was worth it? That's a brutal way to run a business. You never recover that money. The alternative was to sign a Montgomery type ...you take a 3 or 4 mil cap hit, and you can use the other 7-8 mil for other stuff...or keep the cap space. Your logic of " vetting" a guy you already had for 4 years by committing huge cap hit...is plain bad business.
April 22, 20242 yr Author I hope Barkley is not ignored at the GL now. I hope they mix things up inside the 5,with TE -passes, Passes to Parker,tush pushes and using Bark

Terrible business decision and cap management all leading to a team that has been neck and neck with us the whole time. Should tell you a bunch about how our franchise is being run.
April 22, 20242 yr You don't " vet" players by giving them huge money first. Better off committing then losing the player. Look at the Eagles... Wentz and Reddick. I know this is difficult because the concept of dead money being used as a positive tool to get more cap space is something you don't grasp or choose not to due to your anti Howie agenda... But let's look at those two deals vs Tagging Pollard and Dak. Both the Eagles moves... like $54 mil of dead money...but actually got back cap space.... also got back a 1st, 3rd and another 3rd possibly a 2nd round pick in return. Dallas...$43 mil to " vet" Dak got hurt, they paid him anyway at 2021 market value instead of 2019. Pollard left anyway. No picks back... still needed to replace Pollard and don't have a QB locked up after this year.
April 22, 20242 yr "Vetting" by paying is bad business. Do it early, then you can get out of a bad deal if needed... if it hits, then you can keep on resigning the player early to keep cap hits low.

I’m all for it!

But we held them back also by forcing them to play on the road in the postseason every other year we switch winning the division with them. But when you actually look into things: it’s been one game difference each season to win the division. If you don’t win the division you’re playing every playoff game on the road. One game difference between us and the cowboys for the division every year.
