McVay got outcoached and knows it, but he is smart guy that has a great memory and will learn from this. It is good experience for everyone involved. It sucks how we ended the season, but it was a better season than anyone expected. Time to build for the future starts now.

It was definitely a better season than anyone could've expected... But let's be real, our Wr's/Te's dropped three potential Td's in that last game... Add that to the two terrible turnovers, and come on, we were in deep crap right off the bat....

Usually we start of the game good, but you can see the nerves and inexperienced creeped in. We will do better in the future.

I wish, I wish, I wish we would have come out like we did against the last Seahags game in Seattle. That week off for the starters killed us.

At least the Rams didn't lose like the Saints did yesterday. That would eat away at me for a long time; what a defensive mistake.

I don't know which is worse Shop.

Losing a heartbreaker like the Saints did, or watching your team not show up after halftime of a playoff game.

Honestly if we could keep Cup, Woods, Watkins i'd be happy with that. McVay needs to find ways to get Watkins the ball more which i believe he will do in year 2. If the deep ball to Watkins isn't there then that is fine....the O can implement the scheme in ways that ATL does for JJ get him out in the slot, motion him more so that he doesn't get jammed as often or knocked off the route due to more physical dbs. That has worked for JJ to the point where he can be seen running free on crossing and deep dig routes. We ABSOLUTELY CANNOT lose AD..tag is ass worst case scenario and let TRU walk if need be.. Tru is only good for about 13 games anyway before catching an injury.

losing like the saints did... not showing up eh...that can be the type of game the team have where even the 2nd half adjustments just don't pan out. I was pulling for Brees since it seems that the SB will feature the Pats again and I was hoping to see 2 hall of famers go at it in lieu of 2 washtub QBs in foles or keenum.

AD is not up for free agency until the end of next season

AD is not up for free agency until the end of next season

...but could hold out again without a new deal

 

[Retroram52]

Apparently AD doesn't like Training Camp so I suspect he'll hold-out again if doesn't get an extension from those buffoons in the FO.
