We DO NOT need to draft a QB in the first round in a weak QB class with an OL that is not ready to protect a rookie learning the NFL. Linderbaum should be at the top of our wish list. Build to help Najee succeed first. Will make next QB’s job that much easier. #HereWeGo

It doesn’t get enough credit IMO, but this is arguably the best PASS in SB history. The catch is up there too but it has more competition (Tyree, Dwight Clark among others) but the fact that this PASS was placed in the only spot it could have been caught makes it #1 in my book

Will never be happy when our season ends before everyone else’s, but after a night of bitchin’, I woke up with an appreciation with how hard this team fought this season. That grit and determination is something you can build on as we embark on life after 7! #HereWeGo

Up 20-10 in the 4th qtr vs the Jets with our defense and a patched together OL for the Jets with a young QB making his 1st start this year…an ideal situation for a win at home. And yet we found a way to lose. This is going to be a long week…

Let me start this out by saying I really want Kenny to succeed. Canada has done him no favors. However, my issue with #8 is that he looks exactly the same as he did last year. There is nothing I can point to in his game and say it has gotten better. Am I wrong?

I can’t believe I’m still seeing questions on who will be the starting QB this weekend. Saturday was a playoff game for us. Kenny was healthy. Mason started and won. There are folks that really think Kenny should start on the road, in Buffalo, after not playing for 1 1/2
