That's how I saw it too - the Browns game was the first one of this new level. And not just that crazy throw to Moore, but his footwork, how he was decisive, his timing, and his body language - you could see it slow down for him, and his accuracy has been a lot better from then on too. I couldnt agree with you more.

I think Caleb's Career TD to INTO ratio is actually number 2 all time. With Rodgers, Brady and Mahomes all on that list. But to qualify you need to have thrown at least 1500 passes and Caleb only has just over 1,000 right now. But his TD/INT ratio would be 2nd all time only behind Aaron Rodgers.

Thinking the same thing.

for sure - like the defensive line! I think between DJ, JJ and Edmunds there is $45M right there.

Well with the way we are unable to stop the run, a good 3T is necessary, to tackle runners AND to collapse the pocket. So i agree DT is definitely a need. And we need a real stud edge too. Hopefully we can fill both needs in the offseason. We could debate which is more important, and Im not even saying you arent right - but if we get both, then we are ready to rock.

I really like David Montgomery, but I really like Kyle Monangai too

BJ does a great job of getting everyone touches. Even 2nd stringers get playing time, even if he has to bring them in as a 6th OL or whatever. And this keeps players happy AND makes sure your depth players have some experience, which we have seen this year is a really good thing to do.

you could tell last week two - the game slowed down for him. he is becoming what he looked like he could become from the draft!

I hope Burden is OK

agree and amen to both these comments.

amen

aaaahhhhh

here comes the nasty blitz

DA has some nasty blitzes in his pocket for this drive.

He is gonna be great for us for many years!

Think of it this way - Caleb is keeping pace against the Niners good defense with what the Niners offense is doing to our terrible defense. Impressive.

Caleb has been deadly. That pass rolling to the left was ridiculous.

no, youre not. hes gotta be gone next year.

We can still win this, but I am glad we are getting punched in the nose 2 weeks before the playoffs. We need to realize that when it comes to the really good teams, we need to give more.

it's like an NBA game - you really score by getting a defensive stop. ANd maybe DA is saving some nasty stuff for the right moment at the end. I kind of feel that a lot of our midgame woes are because if we start pressing early, they can respond with our lack of pressure. So we kind of try to slow things down and get to the end game where we pull out our aggressive stuff for the surprise knockout. All this changes when we have a D line that can pressure the QB. That's the missing piece.

love it

100%

Ugh we needed a score before halftime.

We need a D line - we knew this in August. It's amazing how opportunistic our defense has been, but most QBs this year that we have played had plenty of time and it makes it just too easy to pick us apart. Good news is it's SO obvious that Johnson and Poles must know it and they will make it a priority this offseason.

I was discussing the Bears - you were implying that trading DJ didnt open up cap space, I said you were wrong about that. Then you said you just meant that there is dead cap space, um, there is always dead cap space, what matters is how much cap space the move opens, and you know this, we all know this, you read the chart wrong and now youre tap dancing like you didnt. Just stop trying to "get me", you wont. I'm not saying cap stuff that isn't true. You just want to fight and I REALLY don't. I do want to talk about the Bears, and if that includes clearing up something you posted that was factually incorrect, then thats OK. Now drop it. PLEASE. PLEASE.
