I’m hoping that they’re just trying to make it look like they’re trying to save Russ, while actively tanking, to avoid any penalties from the league. But, Occam’s razor means I’m probably wrong.
I do think that sweeping the entire roster out the door and starting from scratch wouldn’t yield a worse team. [Reply]

Hope you never leave bro. You’re good peeps! [Reply]
The only players I like are still on rookie contracts, so they’re fairly likely to stick around. Mims, McLaughlin, Meinerz, Sanders, Surtain. Get whatever you can for everyone else. [Reply]

The furious comeback against the Bears seems to make that seem less likely. [Reply]

How do you think Radio has coordinated defenses on other teams that don't suck this much? [Reply]
Dead last in yards allowed/play (7.0)
Dead last in yards allowed/rush (5.9)
Dead last in yards allowed/pass play (7.9)
Dead last in total defense (450.6 yards/G)
Dead last in scoring defense (defense accounts for 34.4 pts allowed/game)

His other defenses sucked too, just not this much. The fact that it’s not his scheme and Justin Simmons has to tell him what’s going on probably has something to do with it. [Reply]

Abysmal.
When you're facing world-beater offenses like the Bears, Jets, Commanders and Raiders this is pretty tough to avoid. [Reply]
