While I can agree through the season - in order to run the gauntlet of the playoffs and win a SB it will take more.

How do you figure this when we are 6-0 right now?

The record does not tell the full story. Those games are done. We need to look forward. Add now or be sorry later. Injuries are devastating this team. Counting on players coming back and staying healthy on this team is a fools plan.

Seriously. This offense is one devastating mike evans injury away from being worse than last year. And right now at week 7 his health is hanging by the thread.

Because the competition goes way up in the playoffs and you cant trade after Nov...so if someone gets injured you have less depth and can't acquire anyone.

Asking why would trade for a player is wild.lol "why would you try to improve the team if we are winning?"… idk, maybe to make the team better. It isn't like we are blowing everyone out or perfect at every position. We have a ton of areas we can improve in. Lol

you always look to get better in every way you can. Sometimes that's through trading for other talented players who fit your scheme and needs. Sometimes it's just for a talented player to add to your rotation.

we are getting WRs back eventually but we aren't getting DL back that are great (besides Bosa). So we def need to add some talent to our d line who can help with a deep playoff run.

just such a weird question. Poster essentially said "why are we trying to improve the team if we are winning". lol you always try to improve the team no matter what.

The Rams tried to improve with trades and how is that working for them right now? We are in this position mainly due to drafting and F/A.

If we make these splash trades guys are thinking about, and everyone comes back heathy in a few weeks now we are in a situation where we screw up team chemistry? This team is winning, why try to "make it better" right now when your situation (6-0) can't get any better? Rams are a prime example of a team that is aggressive but not efficient. Make them beat this team before we go screwing around with the capital for next years team. Just my opinion.

How many D linemen are you planning on having on the roster? At present on the active roster we have Boss, Halton, Height, Kareem, Odighuzuwa, Okoronkwo, Thompson, Valdez, White and Williams. 10, at least 7 of whom are very good. Then we have Givens on the PS as well as two other guys I don't know. And on IR there is Collins, Farmer, Kamara, Okuayinonu and West. Whilst you may not consider that any of them are great, two of them were very high draft picks who were settling in quite well.

In my opinion the DL is the strength of the D and of the team.

I wouldn't mind seeing them picking up a reasonable receiver, but strangely, few teams are keen to let theirs go. We could perhaps pick up a vet on the last year of his contract or a younger guy struggling to prove himself in his current team. Or perhaps a tight end who leans more towards catching than blocking. But I am not holding my breath for any significant signing at any position. I could always be wrong, of course, but we shall see.

I mean we have a handful of guys we've scooped up off the streets…while they've been serviceable. we can't act like they're not replaceable or can't upgrade there.

Collins is done for the year, Thompson really hasn't done anything to assume he's not replaceable. West is hurt and we don't know if he's anything more than avg. Osa and Halton are really it for dudes.

we can't depend on Bosa to be healthy the ROS. They should always be looking to upgrade there imo.

When you have a .750+ winning % at the deadline, and you think you can win a Super Bowl, you push your chips into the middle. It's what teams do.

The Rams traded a 2nd and 3rd just to rent Von Miller. They won the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs traded a 3rd and 6th for Toney. They won the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks traded a 4th for Shaheed. They won the Super Bowl.

Yes.
But he is more dangerous with the ball than Cowing has shown to be. Also, i think this offense can get him 1-3 dangerous touches a game on 5-10 snaps.
And as long as he puts effort into his run blocks, you can exploit that he is not strong at it with bluffs.

Basically i can see him taking some of Deebo's designed plays, but a threat to be behind everyone if the DBs blink.

Who should we trade for that is on the trading block right now, that will get us over the hump in your opinion?

Khalil Mack, BTJ, Josh Downs, DeForest Buckner (heck half of the Colts roster at this point).

There are options. When all those guys get traded I don't want to suddenly hear "well, okay maybe there were some guys available but we couldn't have beaten those offers no way!" We better have traded for at least one of them. Even if it's something Mack for a 5th.

With the Evans injury they need to bring in a WR. Let Evans get as much rest as possible between now and the playoffs. I think that becomes position 1 they need to acquire.

Can you expand on the analysis to cover other scenarios:
1. A .750+ winning % at the deadline, didn't make a big trade and won the Super Bowl.
2. A .750+ winning % at the deadline, made a big trade and didn't win the Super Bowl.

...
(Wrong thread.)

Are their teams shopping them? Maybe, maybe not we will only know after everything is over.
But those are teams whose season is over and will be looking to improve the future.

Hell the Colts should trade everyone that they can to get picks for their new GM. Quentin Nelson is the only one who may not be available because of ownership loyalty.

The fans who are arguing against trades and using the " who is on trading block"— or well them " who do you think we should get" are missing the point of entirely. we don't actually know who is available and at what price until the trade happens. The rest is all speculation and opinions. The point is we need to make an all out effort to reinforce and upgrade IF the opportunity exists. Tossing shade on the idea because we don't know who is really available is insane.

Why does anyone want BTJ? He's got replaced by 3 WRs that were all UDFAs at one point. Coen's scheme is also timing based and requires WR to be able to run routes efficiently.

BTJ would be awful here imo.

no one is talking about Grover Stewart who will be traded most likely. He's been a stud vs the run for a while. This yr not so much….but if the plan is a run stuffer, he should be on the list.
