Better if Seattle wins. That's puts in the driver's seat if they might get upset for the NFC championship game. Home field in Chicago would matter.

Watching SF and Seattle. So Seattle will have to play LA or SF again at home. An upset in their first game would give us home field for the NFC championship game. Of course we have to win to get there. I like our chances.

Good point. The key all of this to have future success is to have good drafts. The first draft of the Poles/ BJ regime is highly successful. 3 high end weapons, a LT, future OG starter, future DL starter and a few question marks. Home run. Like you said ( coaches that develop players).

If I'm a GM, we are poised to make a playoff run with our current roster. We have a top 10 offense, I will find ways to tweak the team to make the defense better. I'm not mortgaging the the future for one player. I don't get the dismantle a team with 12 or more wins mentality. Cut Edmunds but you have to resign DJackon and will resign Byard.( Leader of the defense) . I would resign Duhshon Wright (won't be cheap) and try to trade JJ. Terrell Smith and Gordon will be back. Trading weapons and one of our best OLs in years for a pass rusher doesn't make sense to me. Fortunately Poles and BJ will figure it out. .

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Crosby or Garrett but I don't think they will lose the first round picks for the future. If they get rid of DJ and Kmet, I'm not going to whine about , I trust they know what their doing. I just don't think they are bringing in a free agent that cost the draft picks. There are several free agents available. I'll post them here later.

Not much experience but I played one year in college and after I got hurt, I wanted to play. Smarter people controlled the room. Mongo did you ever play hurt? Let them play, give Rome limited snaps. Limited snaps for the old folks. Do what ever it takes, not to lose.

I agree and will say it's about coaching. Look at the fest going on at Michigan since harbaugh left. The Indiana Coach came from the Alabama tree and now there winning.

If you add selective free agents and rely on the draft it will extend our good years. If you have good drafts the next two years it continues the cycle. To get those trades, probably will be 2 firsts and a player. If it's just players go for it, it's the draft picks that bother me. Almost every contract on the books has outs in 27. I think Poles redoes contracts and end Edmunds to get the money needed for next year to add someone just doubt if it's Garrett or Crosby. We all know if the team wants one of those two, he will find away without weaking our team. IMO

BJ said all that matters is winning. He's not taking his foot off the gas.

I don't care as much about stats as some fans do but I would like Caleb to get 4000, DJ, Loveland and Burden to get over 700. Then that conversation can leave our fandom.

You could be right we have a bevy of ideas on here. Trade any D player, it's not good anyways. SF is successful and are worst in the league in sacks. I just want us to get a run in the playoffs with a powerful offense, the modern day NFL. Houston have 2, 14 and 13 sacks. Denver has one at 12.5, Rams have 2, 12.5 and 11 sacks. Denver leads the league in sacks with only 1 over 8 sacks. Only Houston and Denver are in the playoffs of the top 5 sacking teams in the league. Only 4 of the top ten sack leaders are in the playoffs. 7 of the top 20 which includes Sweat. I think top coaches and top QBs are the most important aspects of teams that makes SB runs . A good roster helps also.

We have limited cap space, probably be around 5 to 6 mil, so the only way to get more is redo contracts or dump big salaries thru trade or cuts. Offensively DJ,Kmet, Swift are the contractors that may be dealt. IMO they keep this offense together one more year since we are so close to being a high octane scoring team. I think Swift has played his way into the lead role and won't leave on the last year of his contract. Maybe they extend him another yr to get the 26 Cap hit down. I think more likely to redo both DJ and Kmet for more money instead of dealing them. Depth has been important this year as every WR and Loveland has missed games or not 100 % been healthy. I think both are here one more year. Defense has been terrible and I don't care who stays or who goes. Edmunds was an all star before injury and clearly affected him coming back. I think for sure he won't be here. If any player that are most entitled it's JJ. I don't think he's been 100% and hasn't played well since back . He signs a contract then before he comes back there was rumor he wanted more money. Those are the two contracts I would like to see gone for Cap space. Dayo and Jarrett haven't been worth it but contracts won't allow them to leave until 27. I think a priority should be bringing back Byard besides his play is the defense leader. Him and Edwards fill those roles. Terrell Smith will be back so I think we could afford to lose JJ. Sweat is a 2nd tier edge but until we replace him, he won't be leaving. I think Booker is getting better every week and will have a breakout season next year. Don't really care about who else stays or goes. Would like to see them bring back Wright, Gad-Johnson, and D Jackson but trust BJ and Poles to figure that out.

Nice video

Aren't those the same games that Rome has missed? He took Romes targets? I remember when a lot of fans ( not speaking to this group) complained about our first two picks instead of filling other needs. Both of these are home runs and leds me to be patient when viewing roster construction.

Diggs has been terrible this year, not sure he can help anybody for a few games. He's young enough to take a chance next year he regains form. The DB coach in GB was his college coach. That might have been a stronger connection for him.

This video explains why being negative may be a short sighted point of view.

Here's a complete look at the off season and will say I agree with some and not with others moves. I'll post my view after I study the draft more but this is a first look at the off season.

If you claim him off waivers you bring his contract where as if you sign him as a free agent, new contract. . None of his contract is guaranteed going forward. Cheap opportunity.

That's a common sense idea but with Geno Smith getting paid a lot of money with no out until 27, he probably sets for a year limiting the advantage of bringing in Thuney. Plus I see no way BJ is disturbing our OL after just getting a good one.

Doubt that happens this year but with the connections, very possible for next year. I didn't realize he was 27. Al Harris can change his luck around.

We do agree on stuff sometimes.

QBs come and go and every once in a while, an Aaron Rodgers pops up. We now could have that next great one playing in our house. Thank you Ryan Poles for Caleb and BJ, I think we won the lottery.

From the Raiders point of view, Thuney probably has 2 yrs left , why would Raiders want a high salary player when it's at least 2 yrs away from being respectable? I think any rebuilding team will want draft picks. I also thing we are at the beginning of a high powered offense and I don't think BJ is giving away offense assets to disrupt the flow of what he's built. The best OL we have, Thuney? Any weapons? Injuries this yr shows you need more than 3 Wrs and I TE. Zacchus and Devin will be gone next year.

Like Mongo said, being home is the key. West coast teams coming here would be an advantage to us. Out of our control anyways.
