How I REALLY feel? You WANT me to tell you how I really feel? I scared the poor dog and poor cats - and hell, probably even the poor fucking fish - at my parents' house with the last play. I made my sister - my sister who just visited for Utah, and I don't know when I'm going to see her again in person - AND my nephew cry. I made my parents mad at me and tell me they don't ever want me in the house if I'm watching football again.
THAT'S how I really fucking feel. I want a lot of people gone, Chatarius (screw his nickname) Atwell can suck my tits as well (he did nothing the entire game, just a horrible, HORRIBLE second round pick, a joke when we could've had Humphrey or Bolton or anyone who can get on the kid's rollercoaster without being too small for it), and when I finally had hope, thought, maybe, just maybe, we can overcome these weaknesses, they fucking blow it with something new: a fucking punt return touchdown in overtime - with THEIR FUCKING BACKUP PUNT RETURNER.
Our secondary sucks - aside from maybe Lake or Durant and Yeast; yes, I still want Kendrick gone (and hey, maybe we get a fifth round pick for him; the only reason I don't say a FOURTH is because apparently, we suck at that.) because he's a yappy little dog who gives up big play after big play - and I'm honestly shocked the refs didn't give him a taunting penalty with some of those; I've seen enough from Witherspoon to know he's not the answer, the safeties all had a lousy game (Fuller especially; the only reason I'm not giving up on Yeast is because he's overperforming his draft value as a seventh round pick, but Fuller should really be smarter than what he showed today; he's a fucking veteran and he played like it was his first fucking high school game).
Reeder should not be on the fucking field EVER. Give me Rozeboom or Hummel or Hampton or SOMEONE who actually can play football and cover.
Defensive line and edge rushers...I'm done with Hoecht, I'm done with Jonah Williams, I'm done with Murchison, Kier Thomas hasn't done shit, EB4 can't even get on the field, Mathis has consistently gotten no pressure, at least Hampton had one play, but he shouldn't be on the outside either. Give me Brian Burns or Chase Young or Josh Allen or SOMEONE who is young and worth a long-term contract in free agency. And FUCK no on Danielle Hunter.
And honestly, I HATE to say this, but free Aaron Donald. Get him on the Steelers like he obviously wants, take the 2024/2025 first round draft picks, move on. Will it suck in the short term? Did the Ramsey trade suck in the short term? Yeah, it did and it will, but we can rebuild this defense - hopefully with Raheem taking a head coaching job (HAH! Like that's gonna happen) and putting someone in worth a damn, who ISN'T Brandon Staley.
I want to rebuild the O-line. The only people who should be starting are A-Jax and Avila. Deal Havenstein to whomever for a third, put A-Jax over to the right side where he belongs. Oh, and fuck Noteboom and Allen; jettison them into the fucking sun for all I care. Let Shelton go; that fucking redzone false start was a killer. If Dotson's willing to stay, sure, but if he's asking for the moon, let him go as well. I want O-LINE picks. A center worth a damn. An elite left tackle. Hell, I'll even take a great guard.
But yeah, I see a lot of problems, and no easy solution.
THAT'S how I fucking feel. I'm pissed. We HAD chances, we fucked ALL of them up.
