Grades Before the NFCC, here were my grades---considering the draft choices given up:
Talib: A-
Peters: D+
Fowler: C

Cooks: A+

Grades After NFCC:
Talib: A
Peters: B
Fowler: B+

Cooks: A+++

The grades become that, because without the plays they made we don't win that game.
Fowler, did help against Seattle and KC...and he did some good stuff---not worthy of 3rd, but now that we are in the super bowl I think Les made the right call. Without Fowler, and to a much lesser extent Peters, we wouldn't have had the home seed (#2) or won that game.

Opinon: giving up a 5th is nothing for what Talib did. IF we didin't beat Dallas, and we gave up a 2nd and 3rd, I wouldn't forget it.....but with a super bowl, it seems totally different!

Game notes:
And, I will have to say the Rams played tough the whole Saints game...that Defense brought it hard!

Brockers and Suh stepped up in the playoffs huge!
Goff is ice. Matty ice was always a joke to me; Goff is the real J Cool.

45 years of wathcing NFL, I have never seen anything like that Gurley decision...and his attitude about it is beyond good--I still wonder if there is something more...we will know after the Bowl...ya, that one!

I've always been a huge Gurley fan but tbh the way he handled a poor start to the game and how much it meant to him just make me love him as a player even more. TG is class and I can't wait to see him in two weeks, IMO he's going to play like a man possessed.

One thing when you have a lot of high end players. Sometimes it doesn't work out because of chemistry. But you get these guys in a game this big, the cream rises to the top. They all played well.
