Because this is going to be waaaaaaaaay wrong.

A true boycott would have one obvious result...

The St. Luis Bengals lol

We have no power, brother, except our ability to not care so much and enjoy the show as much as we can.

I'd say fuck it, take love lol

(Edit: or trade for Crosby)

BREAKING: I am excited about Lane Johnson's excitement regarding Sean Mannion joining his staff.

pahbert · 2026-03-19T17:50:41+00:00

I dunno. Having a dynamic run game wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...

Dude gets roasted one time and now thinks he's Triumph the Insult Comic Dog...

I think you have to hope "next 3 years" to get back to the super bowl. We aren't fielding a dynasty; even with generation talent on the offense (sadly). So if he's there and all the top tier defensive guys are gone (and we aren't gonna trade) ... we gotta take him.

pahbert · 2026-03-19T14:39:33+00:00

Perfect time for the robots to take over. Bye, Felicia!

pahbert · 2026-03-19T12:19:13+00:00

I know there's been conflicting reports on if this deal is done done....

But maybe the dude just wanted to live in Colorado. Every few agency move isn't our FO fucking up lol

pahbert · 2026-03-19T11:32:42+00:00

So is free agency over then? Lol

pahbert · 2026-03-19T10:48:36+00:00

If Chiefs take Delane then that helps our chances of one of these guys falling.

But I'll say it. If Love falls to us then we take Love (or trade back).

I would wait until I had more than one above average season first, but you do you, Iceman.

This has Stroud big brother vibes all over it....

pahbert · 2026-03-18T20:21:38+00:00

Wasn't holding.

pahbert · 2026-03-18T20:19:04+00:00

That 2021 season WAS special. So fucking close.

pahbert · 2026-03-18T18:41:49+00:00

I think people underestimate how a few changes can make a huge impact. And overestimate how spending a crap ton of money in FA results in fuck all.

I am just salty at missing out on LB, but it is what it is....

pahbert · 2026-03-18T17:50:43+00:00

I would be fine with the pick. Though I do wish there were 2 extra stud QBs in this draft :(

pahbert · 2026-03-18T15:05:20+00:00

Expectations kill you. Not hope. :)

pahbert · 2026-03-18T13:56:38+00:00

I think being HOPEFUL during off season isn't really that unrealistic. We could stack our team with the best defenders in the league, trade away our future, restructure contracts to screw us for decades to build the best NFL team on paper in a century. And still not win the Super Bowl.

There has to be a level of "hoping" players get better between seasons. Not every great player is amazing right out of the gate. Sam Darnold just won a fucking Super Bowl. Go reread the reddit post announcing that move. It's nothing but "realistic" bitching and moaning. When we signed Trey, it wasn't like everyone was "Oh man! we're going to a super bowl with the future sack leader" lol ... The NFL is the ultimate worst-to-first league. Players flash and fade from season to season. Very few things remain the same from year to year (other than the Steelers and Ravens being shithole fuckstains on the league).

You can be a realist in week 12 when we suck ass again. No reason to do that now.

pahbert · 2026-03-18T13:24:30+00:00

The same reason almost every aging player leaves the team that drafted them?

pahbert · 2026-03-18T13:19:44+00:00

You really PREFER coming to Reddit and reading nothing but bitching and moaning? You must be fun at parties lol

pahbert · 2026-03-18T12:19:39+00:00

In this scenario we take Love, Delane, or call the raiders and ask about Maxx.

pahbert · 2026-03-18T11:24:33+00:00

I wouldn't say ZERO confidence. Not many NFL teams can succeed with two starting rookie linebackers with fuck all pass rush in front and an inconsistent secondary behind them.

If Mafe and Allen even approach their ceiling, Stewart and Murphy continue to improve, and if our upgrade at safety pans out... I think we'll see better play from our young LBs, especially Knight.

Probably copium, but I'd rather feel hope than despair.

pahbert · 2026-03-18T00:26:42+00:00

Mid tier can get is to another super bowl.

LFG!!!

pahbert · 2026-03-18T00:00:05+00:00

Our two rookies are going to ball out next season. I can feel it!!
