News break
Kwesi has a PHD in bullshit
i think that spielman spoke around issues better than kwesi...while he adds a lot of unnecessary gibberish, one can understand the situation better....
the vikes don't want to go with a one-year extension....
when asked about our linebackers; kwesi ran on about asamoah, dye, and kwenkeu but never mentioned kendricks or hicks....gone....
I was listening to Reggie Wilson (w/ Sam Ekstrom & Luke Inman) and he disagrees with the take that they are gone and Kwesi was talking more that Hicks and Kendricks were in place and the others were there to be able to "step up" - not an "intentional omission"

we shall see....
i can see us cutting kendricks and thielen and then offering them a 1-yr deal at $4mm....
hicks is gone....
This is what makes me nervous, reworking contracts to keep the 13-5 band together. Exactly what foundation was put down to augment and build upon?
We were the third best team in our division at playoff time and one of the worst in the playoffs. That includes our wildly up and down offense, not just the lousy defense (although mostly).
No tweaking with Thielen, Harry, Cook, Hicks, Ham. I will be greatly discouraged if we simply shuffle their peas under different shells.
Its not just the money ... show some confidence in your ability and stop leaning on Spielman.
The offense was mostly awesome but they did have a tendencay to go three-and-out a lot and often when we least could afford it.
My problem is they would go dormant for long stretches of each game necessitating another epic comeback.
I loved the comebacks. I loved that for most games we were always still in it. Biggest comeback ever, never say die etc etc. but they also put themselves in situations nearly every week where they HAD to comeback, epically, to win.
I want them to keep the attitude that the game isn't over and keep playing hard until they win...but I would rather we dominate some opponents, take big early leads and hold them down all game. Only getting the comeback on the rare occasion that we need it.
Including against some pretty bad defenses. If we had played the Vikings, we would have had to come from behind in a one score game!
So how good is our offense, really?
For starters ... by golly, gee, gosh durn and zowie are not going to stir up any blood lust in our troops ...
Imagine coming off the field against the Giants on 4th down after a savage, year-long campaign of spilling your guts ... and hearing 'oopsie' from your perfectly coiffed and starchy leader.
Please.
