yeah, not sure what you are talking about. Most Niner fans here are predicting between 3-6 wins this year and basically hope that Kelly's stupid offense can mask enough of Kaep's flaws that we can trade him forSOMETHINGnext year.

I tried to convince myself last year that we weren't going to be that bad, especially after the Minnesota game. Even I can't find the positive anymore, outside of Bowman looking better and better as the year wore on.



It feels like it's back to the doldrums of 3-7 win seasons, reminiscent of the great Erickson, Nolan, and Singletary years. Can't fuckin' wait, bros. That 3 year period of not feeling like a Rams fan was a nice little break though.

Yeah feels bad man.

Once they lost that Super Bowl against the Ravens I knew that was it as far as that particular squad with Harbaugh having a chance. Keapernick peaked and the defense was historically good. Now they have one of the worse QB situations in the league, which would have been unthinkable 18 months ago, to go along with the worse overall offense in the league. Teams like the Raiders and Jags are high octane in comparison, and that is fucking sad.

The defense is pretty bad as well. Eric Reid is the best bad player I think ive ever seen. He isnt good, but he is really good at not being bad. But I cant even say he is average because Im afraid he isnt. I loved the guy, made a pro bowl as a rookie,but...that secondary is feckless. Tartt is average and inexperienced. Ward is getting better but still kind of sucks. Brock is a guy Johnson and Acker are bottom of the roster type DB's on most teams at this point and they are basically our front line starters at corner.

Bowman is the only saving grace, but he isnt the same without Willis there covering all that ground and punishing people, forcing tons of plays his way. Now we got a "beefed up" Eli Harold and some other dude I cant remember. Buckner may do some things with Armstead but I doubt it. Niners will be bad until at least 2020.

I feel like the Titans and 5.5 is the best over/under bet right now. They aren't going to win 10 but I'd be shocked if they don't win 7.

Nobody cares, nobody has cared for a long time. This doesn't belong in this thread, it belongs in the grown ups forum under CBA's, unions, and ownership.

I agree, no one gives a shit. He's lost the case, will serve a suspension, is a known cheater. Nothing left to discuss.

Have to think Tampa will be getting one soon after those, they have some pretty big renovations in the works. Namely bigger video boards because despite the stadium being pretty sweet, the video boards are the same shitty ones that have been there since it opened in 1998.

A lot to be figured out because agreement on funding is far from hashed out, but current proposed schedule is Raiders to request relocation vote in January for stadium opening in Vegas in 2020.

Ravens and Harbaugh fined and Ravens lose week of OTA's for violation of putting rookies in full pads. Damn.

Sounds like the NFL could have reduced the fines if they wanted but chose not to. 137k for Harbaugh and $343k for the Ravens

They can reduce the fines based on if they believed the mistake was an honest misinterpretation of the rules or something worded similarly. The league wasn't buying that they didn't know rookies couldn't be in pads, which is pants on head retarded since no one can wear pads until training camp.

Seems pretty stiff considering it was for at most 5 minutes.
