Did anyone go to the playoff game vs the Chargers? I typically sit in Section 132 around rows 20-28, I need to save up so if anyone knows how much playoff tickets for those typically go for hit me up.
 
Also if you want to see something insane, look at the bills 16 game schedule. Gotta hope NE doesn't lay an egg against them

exactly. My friends who are skins fans say he reminds them of RG3, but RG3 didn't have great agility, just great speed and of course he didn't know how to avoid a hit or read a defense. His vision is nowhere near as good as LJ's.

I’d say too that RGIII also seemed more frail than Lamar. The difference in agility is key because Lamar either gets out of bounds, gets down or uses his agility to elude the big hit.

In the end who knows how long RGIII would have lasted had he not dove forward with Haloti bearing down on him. That was a costly mistake

The Haloti Ngata game wasn't the injury that derailed his career, although it was the start. He had a minor LCL grade 1 from that injury and missed a game, although he probably should have been out two games. He was fine the playoffs he was was running around like nothing happened until at the end of the first quarter was pushed out of bounds and seemed to have reinjured the LCL. It was in the 4th quarter that he tore his ACL in the playoffs.

i dont think we're going to be signing a free agent OL because the price is always extortionate vs actual value to the team - i think the idea will be that we have all 5 starters returning (+ all the backups) and then we add a piece in the draft and see what happens + patrick mekari and ben powers will have had a whole year to develop and we've been pretty decent at developing OL from low picks/red-shirts to starting calibre players - wagner, jensen, skura, lewis, bozeman

obviously id love it if we added a major talent at IOL in free agency as long as it was a good price but i think that's unrealistic so i turn to the draft and we normally take at least 1 OL a year in the draft - just the round we pick them in changes - if we can grab one on day 2 i think that's probably a nice place to grab one

I agree I think we avoid OL in FA but I think we invest in a high draft pick at OG. FA will be about pass rush first and foremost

Mangini was a terrible coach so no surprise that he's a terrible analyst. We have an historic offense right now so let the haters keep looking stupid.

I know the rant in Mangini is old on the thread but I’ve been away for a few days and when I saw what he and his whole panel said it pissed me off big time.

Typical talking head bullshit. You take a hard line stance on someone and then completely ignore reality and defend your position. So many others who made similar predictions on Lamar have since admitted misreading the situation and just failing to recognize how special a player Lamar is.

The longer Mancini clings to his narrative of what Lamar is (I mean does he see his play or does he read his stat line) the bigger a fool he makes himself. Again I agree his game is not sustainable... he will not be running like this when he’s 30. How about we enjoy the amazing (or should I say impressive) show Lamar is putting on now.

On that note, number crunchers are having a field day

He's really adjusted along the way. I feel kinda of bad about all the Harbaugh slander in the past... kinda. This too is a problem with a lot of FOs. They dont give a guy time to build his roster and try to change the culture. That and our owner knows to mind his damn business.

Harbaugh was guilty when it comes to coordinator selection and refusal to act earlier when it was clear it's not working.
