I told you I saw the adjustment!!!! I'm glad to hear he can admit he was wrong and change things. Now, Howie needs to listen to his coaches and draft the players THEY want(GL with that)

That’s part of why fans trying to tear us down over the first half of the season doesn’t totally apply to who we are now. The schedule….is the schedule.

Who opted out? Rogers, Brady or Murray?

He wasn't voted in for sure

He was voted as the alternate. Fourth best QB in the NFC. You think Rodgers  or Brady will go to the Pro Bowl? I don’t. Besides one of them will likely be in the SB.

We have been very good converting third downs …..so that bar is extremely high. We need Sanders ready. 

IDK we're doing ok without him. If it ain't broke,don't fix it. If we can rotate fresh RB's in and out all game we can wear them down. I would use them all,so Sanders would just be part of the rotation

The Pro bowl is a popularity contest lol. Not much else

IF TB only has 2 RB's, obviously that would make them 1 dimensional and that's what bothers me LOL.If we force Brady to throw he WILL do that ALL day vs our lackluster secondary. So ground and pound, keep him off the field wear down their D line.It has to all be executed perfectly. I would hold Hurts running until the mid 3rd then turn him loose. He would have more success after they get tired out a little. Hurts needs to be accurate throwing on the run. I suspect some called roll outs. They are not stellar at covering TE's. Stoll is pretty good at blocking and I hope we use him for that or on a chip block outlet pattern so Hurts has somewhere to go if everyone is covered. It will interest me to see how Siri game plans.it's a HUGE step for him as a coach

Jameson Williams suffered a torn ACL. Brutal. Kid just lost millions.

Could be a nice break for us. It's not a major rush we get another WR(just saying it's slim pickins in '23). If the kid falls far, I'd use that to our advantage like we did with CB Jones. That would free up for all defense in the first 4 picks(0r 5 with a trade back) and would be a great reason to trade back get that 2nd round 2 pick and use it on him. I'm sure other teams are thinking the same.You get round 1 talent in late 2. We still have Reagor

He’s the one RB that’s special. Howard I wonder if he should even be active. Gainwell has shown some moments but never put anything together. Scott is solid at everything. Sanders can gut you! That’s what we need to beat TB.

Voted on by his peers. Even if some negative fans here don’t appreciate his skill set….the rest of the league sure does.

He's good,I don;t know about special. He rarely strings alot of games together. He seems to be out alot

Fans also have a say now. I believe that is part of the voting process now?

Old snd hurt snd guys really held us back the last several years before this one. We really need good hard intense practicing. We need to build this young core of the team up together and gel. So I’m not really leaning towards guys that can’t suit up.

No matter Joe,you'd get in his head about the strip sack(and that beat Brady didn't it??).If both defensive lines are tired, we have the better RB's and that's how you can win with superiority in the 4th 1/4,but I can't expect you to understand how this all ties tpgether

 GB, point is our defense is much worse then theirs. So maybe they gat tired, but it matters little as our defense will be allowing TB to score at will. Yes this all ties together...

Reagor is suiting up every game LOL. If I can get a round 1 talent in late 2 what have I lost?(nothing). I thought you wanted to plan for the future? The future is longer than 1 year

Mmmmm Pro bowl is definitely a fan contest let’s be real not like players and coaches votes count more then fans and there are way more fans then coaches and players. Why we see guys snubbed all the time especially on the  OLs

Talking about his capabilities on the field. Durability is a whole other issue. He’s just very young….. In football years. He only played one season of college ball.

yeah, but what I laid out is the only CHANCE we have. If they stuff our run game,it's going to be a long afternoon

There are no limits on how many times a fan can vote, and online voting makes it possible for enthusiastic supporters to stuff the ballot boxes in their team's favor.(so it's a popularity contest as I said)

They are going to stuff the run our ground game generally picks up in the 2nd half of games. The question will be can we keep it close enough to let us keep using the ground game.

So you said you wanted guys that suit up,then turn around and say it's fine that Sanders doesn't suit up alot lol, so which is it?

The other issue is our lack of pass rush best defense against Brady is putting pressure on him something we have not been good at this season. So we have to figure out a way to fluster Brady with pressure, keep the score close going into the 2nd half to let our ground game take over

Because we have worn out the D lines. We have faced less than stellar ones,this will be tougher,but you still have to do this if you want a shot

Weather will be a factor Sunday vs. Eagles. Windy with rain early, remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High 72F. Winds SW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch. Higher wind gusts possible. Eagles own No. 1 rushing team in NFL.

This could be a blessing for us though if it greatly impacts the passing game.

Yeah,said before the pass rush isn't really there this year. We are 31/32 in sacks. Brady will pick us apart
