How far are we away?

[DIAF]

we need some players on defense, specifically at LB and DB and a top 10- level QB. that last one aint gonna happen overnight but we can fix the first two. A WR1/2 wouldnt hurt either. Im sick of watching TWill drop everything.

Get Brown and Butler on the field and see what they have to offer..... Butler to go deep, and Brown to run some slants. Dez can run his Dig route, and stop the sideline passes to him. Long time since he came down with one where it wasn't the result of a broken play.....

Unfortunately, you're exactly right. Get these guys on the field and see what they can bring to the team. Red doesn't think like the rest of us, though. He's all for throwing guys out there who are 'team' guys no matter if they're hurting the team or not.

In my best Red voice...'Terrance did a very mature thing this off-season in that he took less money to come back and play with us. That is something that you rarely see these days and I'm happy for the young man and I think he brings a lot to this football team. He's bought into our system and is a leader in this locker room. Yes, he's dropped a few passes but he's also made some very big plays for us. We need to put him in a position to succeed and I think we'll see what this guy can do for us. Like I said, it's a process and we need to trust it. I'm proud of this team and how they fought tonight. We need to clean up a few mental errors and we'll address those tomorrow. We have 4 days to get ready for the Chargers on Thursday so there's no time to dwell on tonight's game.'

How'd I do? LOL This clown needs fired.

We fans can speed up the process. Stop attending the games. and stop buying merchandise.
This team doesn't deserve it's financial success.And as long as that's not affected nothing will change on the field.

Thats the problem. Its always next year and the rest of the league gets better. Also we are just good enough to sniff .500 whereas teams like San Fran who looked like they were returning to the 90's version have tanked even further.....

Throw in the Giants of this year, and its easy to see where being .500 with built in excuses of starters missing will get us more of the same.

Jimmy Johnson was dealt a worse starting hand, but slowly build a team with real depth on all sides....... We need a coach who just doesn't live on those memories, but actually learned from it and replicates that " total team" formula.

To think we ran for way over the rushing yards the Birds have given up all year , and lost due to no TD's is unbearable, as is giving up all the 2 pointers that Philly was in essence forced to try.....

I really meant as far as FA, our salary cap will be better than it's been. And we do have a lot of young talent.

Plenty of teams get worse. That's the NFL these days, thank Roger Goodell and the players union who sold them down the river. It's Parity, and it sucks, but that's the way it's going to be.

The best coaches in the league aren't competitive year after year outside of one, Belichek. And a large part of that success was having 6 walk over games in the Division.

Not even Aaron Rodgers, or Sean Paytons teams have been competitive that often. Steelers here and there but got a lot of luck thrown their way as well.

Really, Pete Carroll might be the most successful NFC coach as far as year after year. And they aren't that great this year either.

Jimmy wouldn't be able to do it, this is a completely different era, and he's not going to get a mountain of draft picks for a RB either.

This is a league where you hope to hit on a QB, hope you have enough talent that can stay on the field, and hope you catch some breaks.

I'm fine with looking for a possible HC change, but realistically I have no idea who the hell we'd even start with.

Said this during the draft as well: WR is a huge need.

Dez gets us ~60 yds a game. On a good day. Williams disappears for 4 games a time. The other guys are scrubs.

We need a legit wr who can run all the routes.

And we also need a young te who can run.

And most of all, we need an offense that isn’t this outdated 90s crap. Linehan calls the plays but it’s Garretts system. He needs to go

The 90's crap was much better than this stuff. Don't blame the 90's.

. How far are we away from contending?

Got a telescope? Lol
Look way out there and you will
See the Dallas star.

What is needed?
1.jerry forced to sell the team
2.if 1.does not happen, then
New hc and staff.
Problem is Jones boys will
Make that choice.
They hired jg and his staff, so
No telling who they would
hire next.
3.building a team is hard without a real and sharp GM.
We don't have a GM lol, we
Have the Jones boys playing GM.
They are better than clev and Sf GM's, but that isn't good enough.

This is a legitimate question. How far are we away from contending? What do we need at a minimum to have a chance of winning a super bowl?

I think we need:

1 starting lb, 1 backup lb.
2. RT-- move Collins back to guard. Keep Cooper as depth
3. Get rid of Dez -- high cap, low performance, head case, problematic
4. Get rid of Witten. Either make Hanna the answer or draft one
5. Draft a TRUE 1 Tech
6. Get a backup RB.
7. Draft or get a safety--After today I'm ready to move on from Jones. I haven't been on that wagon until today.

I winced several times.
But you pretty much nailed it, bloke!
