Drafting 20th does not lend itself to getting the type of impact player on defense that they need. 1 Agreed, they need to trade up for an elite defensive playmaker. Wish they did that last year to get Derwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Our 6th round pick will also be #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Very disappointing season. Between the Bell mess, the Boz mess and the refereeing mess, this season slipped down the tubes. I still wonder if we had caught a couple of breaks (i.e. the Grimble fumble in Denver) the season may not have snowballed the way it did. For those of us who've been calling for drafting heavily on defense the last couple years, I think we were vindicated. Why the FO doesn't see this is as a closing window with Ben, I will never know.

The general thought is spurring the long term cap negatives and signing people to fill the remaining holes on roster with a Qb going into final years...pretty sure they signed talib that year, drafted Ray and signed Demarcus Ware who still produced well.

August4th Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 this is a interesting tweet would not be shocked if he did step away after 2020. Tomlin is young, but 13 years coaching at this level in the NFL has to wear on you..cowher lasted 15? don't think tomlin would retire, but I can see him stepping away for a few yrs..especially if we have 2 more annoying yrs like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I know some will comment “really this is what did it” but today’s game has me ready to move on. Why today? I can excuse the Denver game some, we were on a winning streak, came in against a team that had their backs against the wall and more to fight for than us. The Oakland game, I’m sorry but I put the blame on Ben. Star QBs fight to play, they don’t be ok with being benched like that. And it’s complete BS that the shot took that long to take effect. But today. Your playoff life is on the line. Yes you have to hope the Browns win, but how do you not get so fired up against the Bengals scout team to blow them out of the damn stadium? Like today should have been 42-6 at best. Just absolutely put no doubt in them. Run it up so much it’s the Dobbs-Ridley show in the 4th quarter. Shutting them down so much on defense even McCullers is getting sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I would agree with the assessment that Tomlin is tiring of Ben. Can see the annoyance of his face a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewire Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 7-2-1. I'm just stunned how this season imploded in the second half of the year. So many factors contributed to it not just one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
