^^^ Time to let local, regional, and national level LE time to figure it out. Once they do it will help us understand. Until then anything said will be conjecture and only add to political issues/discussions/arguments. IMHO nothing productive will come from that...

The LA RAMS have a ton of draft picks to build on their spectacular 2023 draft class. Plenty of salary cap room (and no dead money) is available to bring in some veteran free agents as needed. The NFC West is wide open for the resurgent & reloading LA RAMS.

Ok I admit I’m kind of rooting for the Bills next year. Small market team, have never won a Super Bowl, Josh seems like a nice guy. Fans seem really loyal. I am not from NY and have never lived there; aside from liking buffaloes (the animal) no obv points of connection with Buffalo but still….. Go Bills!

AFC pretty loaded with good teams so a tough slog.

My NFC team is the Seahawks. AFC is probably the Bills these days (was Chargers until they left SD).

I’m a big Josh Allen fan
I really enjoy his old school approach. He would be better in an earlier era - like around the Terry Bradshaw times when QB’s didn’t get much protection and didn’t have a green dot on the back of the helmet. I was also a big Bradshaw fan. Allen will not only take a hit but he will also bring the wood if required

Shanahan is the first head coach ever to blow two double-digit leads in the Super Bowl.
SO sad....
:LOL:

Santa Clara 49er owner Jed York was reportedly so furious after another Super Bowl loss he demanded immediate changes.

Shanahan had no choice but to fire somebody on his staff. Steve Wilks was the necessary scapegoat. Shanny and the rest of us remember how York shived Harbaugh when times got tough.

I'm not sure if sacrificing Wilks will be enough to satisfy York. Likely more big changes are coming to Santa Clara in the coming weeks. York has to be shopping for Shanahan's replacement, just in case 2024 goes sideways. Last chance!

With a couple months left before the draft, it is always interesting to look at the mock drafts.
Saw a few with the Patriots taking Marvin Harrison with the 3rd pick. No doubt he is a nice talent, but that would seem to be a wasted pick with their lack of QB talent.
As far as the Hawks go, I've seen a lot of mention of edge, interior DL and OL.

Ram fans chewing down a lotta sour grapes lately

Bosa and other members of the starting D-line had serious issues with some of the D-line sets all year, and after the SB, Bosa stated he felt the D-line had not been properly coached for the Chiefs O-sets.
Wilks was a backfield specialist, and wasn't Shanahan's first choice last year after losing two great D coaches to becoming head coaches elsewhere two years in a row, and after losing back to back games to blown backfield coverage, moved Wilks out of the booth onto the sidelines after the DB's complained they weren't getting timely d- sets.
And during the SB the backfield missed four critical assignments...the safeties were supposed to 'guard' against both Mahomes runs which killed them, a D-back literally quit running on the longest pass play by the Chiefs in the game, and on the winning touchdown drive in the last 4 seconds the receiver went free because both the safety and corner bit on the same decoy.
Bottom line is Shanahan and Wilks never synched, and GM Lynch, one hell of a safety during his career, was unhappy with Wilks throughout the year. Late in the year, however, to be selecting a new D coach, best of breed having already moved on. So Shanahan will likely move someone on staff up, or grab a prominsg D coaching prospect like he did with Robert Saleh and Demeco Ryans.
Winning a SB is tough...ask Jim Kelly and Buffalo who lost four straight.

No , not sad at all , it’s expected from him . It’s actually the third time he’s blew a lead in the Super Bowl , although not the head coach .His play calling late in the fourth quarter with the Falcons had to be as bad as it gets .

There is such a slim margin for error in do or die games. The 9ers missed having Greenlaw at LB the last two quarters. They will be back next yr and win the division again. Baltimore is going to be really good. Don't sleep on Cinci next season. The 12's will have a fair to middling team. There is alot of talent on that roster in key areas, Gino ain't the guy, they need a younger franchise QB to take the lead. If KC can keep their D intact, they will be back. So sad, life without football now...lol
