I'm really tired of this crap. The front office needs to send these guys packing and find replacements who will actually concentrate on playing football rather than some stupid stunt.

The first one that needs to go is Eric Reid. What a waste of a player.

Maybe you don't have the mental capacity to kneel for a minute and then concentrate on football but I have no doubt the kneeling doesn't affect these guys at all.

You may want to find another team if it bothers you that much because even the owner supports it.

If distractions don't affect these guys, how come all NFL teams put so much effort in avoiding them?

Yep, the owner is an idiot. It's going to hurt him financially more than anybody. He's making people choose between their team and their country, and while he and these players never served, those of us that did agreed to put our country above our lives, and these guys won't put their country, or team, above their politics.

I agree with Bill. Lynch and Shanahan should just tell them they've had a chance to make their point, now we play football, and anybody that still puts their politics ahead of the team will be replaced next year at the latest.. Anybody! But, that would take the acquiescence of Jed, and I agree with you. That won't happen. So, the bottom line is many fewer fans, and, imo, a disfunctional team, wasting a very good front office for which we've waited a very long time.

I'm all for getting a high draft pick at this point. It's the only way we will improve. I never clamored for wins, I just want to see improvements, and honestly I haven't seen much.

Despite them shooting themselves in the foot time and again, they have been in every game but Carolina. You don't think the product this year is better? If not, they there probably is not a point in debating further. I personally thought they would have a rough 1st half, and start to gel and be more consistent in the 2nd. I still feel that. Still way to early to jump off the bridge. This was never supposed to be a winning season, so it is time to get the high picks.

To a degree yes I do see some improvement in the offensive game plan, and our run stopping ability. But the non stop penalties that kill drives, and the fact our CBS can't defend a pass is alarming. We also can't generate much pressure on a consistent basis

Pressure is coming....Opposing QB's unfortunately have their first read constantly open....

If we had more talent, yes, we could. But we don't yet are still in every game to the wire. I'd say then, so what excuses do those other 4 teams have?

Colts lousy, Arz lousy. We're not that only bad football team. Hanging with the Rams o was impressive.

None of those teams turned over 60% of their roster or are rebuilding.

I still blame Baalke. All those recent draft picks and fast forward today. Our lack of talent is alarmingly bad. Almost feel bad for Shanny and Lynch. This team is a mess.

And he got rid of veteran players at the same time because his draft picks were better cheaper replacements

This season is a rebuild, for that reason, the losses don't bother me.

Would 0-16 bother you?

And he got rid of a great head coach then passed on Gase for a blind trained monkey.

1 is a step backwards....has to at least be 3.

I rather be 1 and 15 and have 14 moral victories than to be 2 and 14 and get blown out 13 times.

I really don't think so, have to wait and see, bottom line not a good team, but it's a combination of last year's regime as well, so I'm fine with the wait n see approach.

Shanny sucks and is disrespectful. Bench Bowman and Hyde for nothing. I could see if they were ineffective and costing us, but they weren't. Shanny was running a zone read with jusscyk in the first quarter. Hyde never had a chance in this game don't give me that hot hand crap.

Just a power trip trying showcase all his choices. He's a bum and dumb choices like this year up the team fabric

Al Michael's and Chris Collinsworth remind me of the Simpson's. Mr. Burns and Smithers.
