Goalies are running backs. If they were the most important position in the game then they would be paid accordingly. They aren't. Other than the top 3 or 4 goalies, you can throw the rest of them in a hat.

I like this analogy

Lots of team have 2 rbs that share Carries
Same for 2 goalies that share starts.

I think people are waaaay overreacting to a single game. We loved that line 24 hours ago. In the long term we all know that Hino probably isn't here but for now he is just fine.

(disclaimer: always looking to make hockey trades)

Overreacting why cause they want to win while seeing this young team grow. Even if they just went and got a real good Top 4 RD would go a long way to even helping this team. Maybe help the goalies stay healthy not having to face 60 shots a game.

Keifer Bellows on waivers. I’d consider it.

Overreacting because the season is 6 games old. Again, open to hockey trades. We all know that we can upgrade over Joker and for all we know Adams is trying to do this. I think forward is trickier because of the value they put on Girgs and Okposo.

not sure the eagles are the best team, but I will give them the title for having an easy schedule

lions 1-5
jags 2-5
washington 3-4
arizona 3-4

PSA. If anyone is curious as to how they make the cool charts that are regularly posted on twitter this free course show you how to do it. You need not be technical - my 12 year old was able to follow it and create charts in less than an hour. Some really interesting stuff. Just looking at the data is super interesting.

Buscaglia is suggesting Jerry Jeudy as a trade deadline acquisition option. Color me intrigued.

I think I'd be more interested in getting another RB. If something happens to Singletary we are in trouble.

the Bears were willing to listen to offers on many players, including Quinn, linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Eddie Jackson and running back David Montgomery.

Y'all need anyone?

Fire sale is coming.

I know we seem to be disagreeing a lot so I promise this isn’t on purpose- but we drafted a RB in the second round

Aren’t we in a much worse spot if Diggs goes down?

That's definitely a huge concern as well. My concern with the RB is that we don't know if either of the other backs can pass protect well. That's my biggest concern - getting Allen hurt because an assignment was missed.

moss is really good at pass protection

probably useless everywhere else

David Montgomery is one of the best pass protecting backs in the nfl

Yeah, I saw his name mentioned in the rumor list. Maybe a 3rd? he was a name at one point but I think being in that offense has to have lowered his value.

If another RB has issues with pass protection, I feel confident enough in this coaching staff that they can scheme something up to fill that void. Whether it's seeing more Reggie Gilliam or bringing a TE into the backfield, like they've done this year already, I think they'll figure out a way.

They have one of the better pass catching RBs on the practice squad...what does his pass protection look like?

No, I don't think he's openly looking for a trade, RD has been a problem since he got here.
Edit: Change that to I believe he is looking, and it could be a player discussed on here yesterday.
