I don't think Garcon or Hyde are horrible. Staley was good. Is he in decline?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

u r dumb
source: my common sense

im pretty sure staley went down with an eye. garcon and hyde are both pretty good with hyde being one of your better hbs in the league. goodwin is a fast wr and kittle can be developed. only problem with goodwin is his catching. our o line is pretty bad especially with that staley injury so jim there will have struggles for sure. however, our line still isnt the worst ever and can easily be made to play decently as theyre big and have some athleticism. our defensive side is going to get considerably better even with our bowman release earlier in the year as our rookies develop.

it seems to me a good sign that our management isnt afraid to make big mooves, and theyre going to be making a lot of them as they cultivate a younger team back into a franchise powerhouse. we've been making lots of trades and good pick-ups from our draft to now, and it seems to me we are really going after key positions.

Yeah, Jimmy G trade was basically just to get a two month test run to decide if they want to pay him or pay kirk cousins.

Jimmy takes the L here, not the 49ers, because he might have dealt himself into a spot where he tanks his own value playing for a mostly shitty team instead of riding those 2 good games from 2016. And yeah, Staley broke his orbital bone - not really an eye injury, would say he's out with a face, really - last week so the mediocre o-line will get worse, Thomas got hurt so the less than mediocre d-line is also gonna be worse. Pierre Garcon is still a poor man's Larry Fitzgerald, Hyde is still a sober Ricky Williams(and Shanahan might still hate him), Marquis Goodwin still can only run straight, Kittle and Taylor still suck.

Also I have a question for someone smarter than me.

Why did Buffalo trade Dareus in a move that seemed to be geared towards making them worse then trade for Kelvin Benjamin in a move to get better? They needed a wide out, obviously because Jordan Matthews has been nursing a pile of injuries, Zay Jones is a busto; and Deonte Thompson, Andre Holmes, and Brandon Tate are journeyman at best, but why get rid of your all-pro dt if you are trying to get better?

cost cutting + there were rumors of him being kinda a bad apple.

His stats are pretty mediocre and have been for the past 2 seasons, plus he's a malcontent. I don't really fault the Bills for dropping Dareus.

this is fair lol. the only thing we have going for us is how young the team is.

also drealmz thats basic english context clues. it's not an expression it's easy to read shorthand that you very clearly understood regardless.

Fair enough. He's still really good. Like his stats are dropping but they are dropping from being the best 2 years ago, y'know?

Trading a bunch of people for draft picks is only a good idea if you also trade Reese and McAdoo to the unemployment line.

I'm watching the Steelers vs. Eagles from last year and Phil Simms comments on how in-shape the officials are, and Jim says "next year it'll be the announcers" and Phil says "I have a lot of work to do" - hahaa

funny, cause Tony Romo is in so much better shape than Phil Simms
