And that my friend, is why you're not the GM of this team ^^
I made the Cleveland comment based on How bad the Team played last night ..Of course we are better than The Browns but if we waive every player that folks say we should then we may as well switch with the Browns. My concerns are this ..on the offense we Have Cousins not even signed long term..we have our best O lineman on his second drug suspension, Our best TE is injury prone, we benched Matt Jones who we drafted high.. may not keep Djax,Garcon our Number 1 pick has not been seen (injury)..Need a center..all this from the supposed strength of the team. Our kicker has not been great..folks are calling out our coaches and now we move on to the Defense which very well may be the worst in league..we have 4 players on the D that I say are really good..Norman,Kerrigan,Baker,Cravens the rest are average ..so even though my comment about the Browns was in jest we are by no means a top tier team. and we are surprised when we lose to the super bowl Panthers? this team is the classic half full/half empty situation.

Putrid performance. We should be ashamed.

F the playoffs, I'm on to 2017.

On the bright side, Barry will be gone, and we'll save millions on Kirk's new contract.

I don't understand what makes anyone think Cousins will be expecting less money just because he had a few below-average performances? He has played very well this season and last, if he doesn't get the big contract here he will get it elswhere.

No but his last few performances should keep his price down a bit.

Unless he completely shits the bed over the last two weeks, the price tag for Kirk isn't going anywhere but up. Certainly didn't move based on last night's performance, or the last couple of weeks for that matter.

DS will pay him - basically what he wants, or another team will. Period.

Frenchy, you're coming along nicely in your use of American scatology. I like the way you used "the F" as an adverb in your last post. Very American!

Haha I'm not really sure that was an adverb in the sentence but thanks :-P

Good point.
Remember this is a league where Brock Osweiler was offered a 72 million contract.

This place is always hilarious after a loss.

It can be. I think people go a bit overboard. Sure Kirk had a bad game, but he's still the best thing that's come through this franchise in a long while. I still have my quirks with him, but not signing him long term would be foolish.

I will say this though, McVay and Barry still a lot to prove, and I would rather move on from Barry. As Schneed noted, not one player is playing above his potential out there and that's not a good sign of a good coach.

Kirk himself has played well enough to win 10-12 games if he had half a defense and a serviceable run game.

I have to agree with this.

It isn't.just a loss, it is a pattern that isn't.very encouraging. We had our destiny back in our own hands and blew it in an epic way. If we played well and lost, that would be not that bad, but to come out flat in a game with playoff implications isn't good.

Kirk's contract will be based on his 2015-16 body of work. An off game here and there won't change anything.

I agree for the most part, but I do believe that not making the playoffs, redzone stats, or being clutch against bad teams like the Panthers will come into negotiating.
