Niners/Pats Superbowl next year. Hopefully Niners can trade Alex for picks and get some CB's.

I know we're going to sign him, and I'm fine with it, but I'll quote myself, since it got end of paged:

The fuck is this last sentence? Boldin was integral for that offense and Flacco's moonball, especially in the playoffs. You have to understand that big possession receivers don't exactly grow on trees. Boldin is a match up nightmare the majority of the time.

Fuck, you're probably right.

Team needs and roster rankings. Ignore the roster ranking, anything stand out as wrong? Seems dead-on for Colts and Rams
Biggest needs for both imo

Nice! Hopefully it works out well for you, and hopefully you'll have some free time for NFL GAF as well.

But is he worth it?I'd rather they try and get someone who is younger and cheaper.
Unless they can get Reed for cheap.
I can't argue that the Steelers suck. But we will have no problems beating the Pats in Foxboro assuming fragile Ben is healthy when we play. The fat bastard is made of glass these past two seasons.
Exactly, just ask Donte Whitner.
Although seeing Boldin in a 49ers uniform would look nice.
Butchered the Packers.
He completely ignores the great play of Don Barclay which is bizarre. I think the Packers will try and move Bulaga to LT and let Sherrod and Barclay compete for the RT. Point is, they have talent at the tackle position.
Nobody needs to improve their backup QB. That's fucktarded and should be grounds for firing from a place like Rotoworld.
The Packers safeties are definitely an issue depending on what Woodson does, however front 7 is a much, much bigger concern. Competed defensive linemen and linebackers who have some idea how to play football would be fantastic. Matthews and Hawk are fine, but that's it.
No need to ban fox. Just post butt fumble gif and he vanishes for 48 hours.

He'll get a smaller version of the Favre "lifetime" contract because Rodgers is nearly 30. Hell they might give him the 10 year deal anyway instead of 7 or 8.
They'll likely also make him aware of the other players due big contracts and they'll discuss team needs with him as well as his salary. I'm sure Rodgers is keenly aware that the number of commercials and sponsorship deals he gets is directly linked to his team's performance.
Not singing Jennings to an absurd contract is what is going to make it all work anyway.
Belichick and Reed are very friendly. I would think Reed would be in the Harrison role and be the QB in the secondary.
Pats have a decent cap space but they have to sign Welker, Vollmer and I assume they will look at Talib.

Well this is all I can do, not as good as I want it to look, but it capture the essence.
Bionic, this will be your avatar till the start of Pre-season, have fun!
In todays NFL that is a pretty good recipe to win the Superbowl.
We got the sucking hairy ass part down pat. We just have to find a way to suck ass AND make the playoffs. That and some deer antler spray. We are way behind in the PED game and need to get up to speed!
Thought the backup QB things was sort of glib, too. Like "so good I have to make stuff up" kind of thing. Good draft for DL help
Can't read the article right now.
But did they acknowledge that we do not have the personnel to run Pagano's defense?
The Packers have real needs, claiming they need a RB who is more than a role-player and a back-up QB is just idiotic. Needing a safety is a misdiagnosis of their issues and how to fix them. The Packers need a big body at end and some speed opposite Matthews.

Back that money truck up to Flacco's house! Better yet, back up two of them!

Outside of seeing how Chip does in the pros I am really looking forward to see what happens with the Cowboys. I really think this is the last season of Garrett and Romo and I think it is going to blow up in crazy fashion.

Yes thankfully. I dont want to be insular but it was awful reading a lot of the shit that got posted last night.

something something Cleveland
He's a liability, no doubt. Whitner never had coverage skill, and he got lit up last night.
Boldin would make any team instantly better. I don't think I could say the same for Ed Reed.
Don't ya'll drive people that actually know football out of this thread?

Not sure if this was discussed a few days ago but Greg Jennings apparently made an appearance on The Finsiders and had some interesting comments:
Jennings, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Brian Hartline would be a pretty nice WR trio if I do say so myself. Don't let me down, Ireland!
btw did you guys find it odd that CBS didn't show much of anything that went on it that fight? It was like the NFL told them to not show that stuff, or they didn't want to alienate the expanded viewership with the gory details
Any other game and we get 20 replays of what was going on in that brawl

You think they'll resign Hartline if they sign Jennings?

I have no idea what you are talking about. The only person that we have lost that knew football was LJ and that was due to a bet. The best thing about this thread is the guys like squicken who really know what they are talking about. I cant imagine anyone trying to drive them off.
Panthers needs look right to me. I would add S, but I don't think we'd use a first rounder on one. I could see us using our first rounder on either O-line, DT or WR. Don't think we'll spend a first on a CB though. Good pass rush can mask subpar CBs.

I hope so, he'd probably be great in the slot or as a no. 2 guy with someone like Jennings getting the most attention from the D. It's not like they have any depth at WR either so it wouldn't make sense to let Hartline go even with Bess still on the team. If they do go for Jennings I definitely don't think they'll draft a WR with their first pick though, so the Cordarrelle idea is kind of wishful thinking. Honestly they should probably pick up a CB in the first round anyway.
Yeah, I've never seen that. Only those that talk out of their ass get roundly denounced.

Man it still hurts.
We can't blame the refs for this game. There were some bad calls but that happens in every game. We can't keep getting in these huge holes, especially against good teams. I'm worried that these last two years were the best years for us to win the super bowl.
I'm worried that we have been planned out, both offensively and defensively. Kap is going to have to evolve next year. He needs to manage the play clock and the count much better. We burned two second half time outs which killed us. Just badly managed. I'm also worried even more about our offensive playcalling. Roman can draw up some great plans and we can adjust at the half but there are times where we go three and out and I'm just at a loss for words at how badly all three plays were.
I've always believed we've had a suspect secondary, hell we've had a suspect secondary since I was like 5, and my worries came true last night. We weren't physical enough back there and it showed. The defense showed up in the second half mostly but it wasn't enough.
Kap played pretty good for the most part but his inexperience showed. Some great plays and runs but a terrible pick and bad managing. Gore broke free late on and was looking great, receivers looked pretty good, but it wasn't enough.
I hope we get healthy and come back next year, the nfc west is gonna be tough, but I hope that we evolve this offseason have a good draft, get healthy, and avenge this lose.
Enjoy this Ravens-gaf, for me its baseball time!!!
