We agree that this line sucks at everything at this point

There's not room on a 53 man roster for a guy like this. He was barely an NFL talent to begin with...now that he lost a week of time due to his quitting...he's done. He'll be lucky if he survives this weekend's cuts.

The O-line sucks right now and there's no way it could be decent with all the shuffling but it is amazing that this O-line blocked for the most productive RB in the AFC last yr. They need to settle on a 5 man line and coach 'em up. I'll also add that there are run O-lines and passing O-lines. I think this will be a passing O-line. No question this is the weakest link on this mediocre team. If this coaching staff can coach them up to middle of the road it'd be a huge accomplishment. Those of you who want to see QBs other than Dalton this yr will get your wish. I can't see him staying healthy behind this line at his age. As for Ryan Finley, sure he's doing quite well for a rookie but his physical skills are really limiting. He's a soft tosser. Teams need not worry about him going over their heads. Do we really want Andy Dalton II?

So they've only got 34K season ticket holders? Piss poor for an NFL team

Attendance last week at Washington was extremely poor

I like having lots of RBs in training camp. First of all they're really only going in with two...one if Gio is "gone". Plus RB is one of those positions where you can find Pro Bowlers off the scrap heap so it's a good chance to take. Furthermore we'll need a lot for training camp. I'm fine if Mixon gets like five touches in all of August.

I'm basing it off of the principle that experience matters and our coaching staff lacks it. Pop off all you want but don't disappear come December when we can revisit this and see whose tea leaves were correct

The product was crap. I didn't think it'd work out but even I'm amazed they folded this soon. Why not play your playoff games? It must have been one screwed up league despite all the rosy press it's gotten. Don't believe the press. I don't give the XFL much chance either

I hope you're right that I have zero clue. I hope we go to the playoffs this yr. We shall see. I'm predicting Dave Shula-like disaster and remember, he started off 2-0

I hope I'm wrong but this coaching staff is going to turn out to be a disaster. I was OK with bringing in a 35 yr old coach with little experience but only if he brought in asst coaches with experience. He did just the opposite. This is going to it look like the kids took over the Principal's office and unfortunately will make Marvin Lewis and his staff glow in the rear view mirror. Prepare for an ugly 2-3 yrs.

Let's hope he's got a system that's easy to learn and that he can teach it. We'll never know if Austin's system was any good since his players never learned it. What I don't want to hear are mumbles from insiders that his system is complicated or that it takes a couple yrs to learn. No if it takes that long to learn then it's a suck system

Nah. We tried the 3rd rd bit and it cost us Whit. I don't suggest we do that again

Here's another issue. Take a look at these uniforms in the SD vs Atl game yesterday. They are way too similar. How do you tell one team from another while in action? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-zytkysG2I

Anyone watch any more of this stuff this past weekend? I did a little and the product is not good. I'd compare it to 4th qtr NFL preseason-like. I learned that they have a 15 yd penalty for illegal defense. I saw a couple bogus first downs for the offense due to this. I don't know what all that entails but I did pick up that you can only rush 5 guys. That's something we see in awful games like the Pro Bowl. If they want to make this league more exciting they need to do away with this sort of stuff. We need fewer flags, not more. The QBs are slow afoot and avg arms at best. Each play is very deliberate. WRs are not getting open. Very little separation

Admittedly I'm no fan of the NBA but that's my point. They were already champs and then he made it nearly impossible for anyone to catch them. Four straight years the same 2 teams were in the Finals and we knew who those two teams would be in Nov. Four straight yrs. What I see in the NBA are championships going to Miami, Cleveland and GS solely because of where FAs decided to go. It's gotten to the point that 2 or 3 studs can get together and say "hey, we're all going to go to this team and we'll be champs". What chance does Atlanta, Minnesota, Indiana and countless other teams have? The Lakers are only relevant because of Lebron deciding to go there. LeBron with Cleveland is a Finals team. Without him they're a .200 winning percentage team.
