Not sure what to think . This could be our ceiling

[Swift Is a Die Hard]

Tony G is retiring
Abe is bout done
New direction at RB
Is Nolan the answer to fix the defense that was shredded by two young QBs
Dimtroff can he build a pass rush
Corners 1 year older
Limited cap


This really could be as good as it gets .. so close but so far away

[papachaz]

I don't think we digress next year, but we better find a way to fix the defense. I've already said it in a few other places, but I'd bet we let Nolan have a huge say in who we draft on defense, I bet he gets to pick the personell he wants.

I dont see a 13-3 season ..1 seed again ..

I'm not even sure there has been a NFL team that has not made the Super Bowl as a 1 seed in a time span of 3 seasons ...

Saints and Panthers will be better next year
Seahawks look like a team on rise
49ers not going anywhere
Green Bay will be around


I have way more questions then answers....

[Aftermath]

I'm convinced that we have plateaued under Smith, this team is on the decline. TD built for right now and it almost worked. almost.

This was definitely the year to do it if we were going to do it. Every other team looked beatable.

agree..In our building ..Up 17-0 ...

Im so hurt after this loss.. Dont know what to think ...are we knocking on door step

or bout to go in another direction

[papachaz]

well I'm not gonna argue the 'more questions than answers' point of view right now, but also thinking right now after losing that game is not the time to be thinking it either.

yeah the taints and possibly the panties will improve next year, heck even the sucs could be better. I don't see us dropping completely out of contention next year. I'm going to say that 4 of the six playoff teams next year in the NFC will come from the NFCW and NFCS. Niners and Hawks, Falcons and Taints

Tony will be replaced by a WR. I expect Koetter to employ more four-WR sets. To do that, we will need to improve the OL. This is nothing new.

Abe has not been an elite pass rusher this season. He is still very good, but he is not the dominant player that he once was. Nolan will find a NT to move towards more 3-4 sets. Once that happens, our athletlic LB's will make plays. Remember what Nolan said, at the beginning of the season, he wants five guys with five sacks.

We will draft a replacement for Turner. Thank you to MT, he was a terrific Falcon.

The Niners are not great. They will have their problems next season. I would not worry about any other team. We need to worry about ourselves.

I am optimistic. You should be too.

The read option can be stopped we just didn't have the personnel. The defense will get younger and faster.

Lol. On the decline??

Way to go full retard.
