We are not catching Philly

There is nothing this FO can do in the draft that can make up for the ground lost by sitting on their hands in the trade and free agency market. No, free agency is not over. But every top and middle-tier WR and TE are spoken for. Meaning Dak will have the same uninspiring set of WRs and TEs to throw to (plus maybe a green rookie). Meanwhile, on defense, we lost Hitchens and could lose Irving to a team like Indy (who is flush with money and can offer a huge long-term deal). Shaping up to be another hugely disappointing offseason. *Cue the player suspensions*

We are clearly behind them. Roster and coaching wise.

They have an aggressive, creative front office and we do not, and that complicates the issues.

They have not settled after winning a SB and will be aggressive to make up for losses and try to improve their team.

We will likely sit out FA again and think this roster is better than it really is and that the draft will solve all our problems.

Nonsense. FA isnt over yet. Look at the recent free agent acquisitions this team has made over the pst few years




Look at all that talent. With JG as coach and Dak as qb, we are right there!!


What an embarrassment. Meanwhile, Stephen said free agency "is an area we have to improve." I guess he means that, if we sign no one, it's an improvement over this.

People need to understand in this day and age that you can’t have it all. If Colts can pay more to get Irving then they get him. It’ll hurt our Dline but now the new secondary is another year older and hopefully will be getting additional help at S. Your best bet is finding ways to offset defencies. You lose a pass rusher but now the defensive backfield is better in coverage. The TE/WR corps is aging and coming up in expiration so I wouldn’t be surprised to see that whole group get revamped similar to how the secondary was next year.

The team is built around the running game and OLine. That is where the focus will be. Once the offense is humming on all cylinders again the WRs will suddenly look much better. It’s not a coincidence the passing game sucked when the Oline was banged up and the star runner was essentially on a week to week basis.
