gilmore quit, while hogan was running into the end zone, gilmore was looking to blame someone else

f him

Agreed. He is not an elite cornerback. I don't think he's worthless, he's definitely not worth top 5 money like he is looking for. Top 5 corners don't let Chris Hogan torch him on 3rd and 13 for a touchdown.

He's not even the best cornerback on the team. I think Darby has played much better than Gilmore has all season.

Went to one Friday night. The big party I usually go to the person was charging $25 to get into. I refused to pay that to go to a party in a giant garage. Especially since every other year I've gone, I've always brought my own beer.

Yes and no. They haven't left Darby isolated 1-on-1 nearly as much as they have left Gilmore, so he has benefited from that. However, that's not his problem. He's been making the plays he has needed to.

$25 is insane


every party I have, if I provide the food, it's $10 per person, bring your own booze or


$5 per person if I grill meats only with a few sides, and they have to bring chips/snacks and their own booze

Not absolving Gilmore, but Corey Graham said that on one of the plays (That one is what they think he was referring to) He said the safeties never got the call to the corner on that side of the field.

I wouldn't pay him either, and Darby has has just as rough of a season.

They need to go after a safety this season that can cover some of the field.

It's interesting how different in a lot of ways that defense looks with Aaron Williams out there. Not just in terms of their game play, but also in getting them to all buy in. I noticed it last year, and it was noticeable after he went down last week too.

A few people were high on Blanton when he was signed, I read he never really got too much of a shot in Minnesota with Harrison Smith being there, but he's done nothing of note either.

This is the frustrating part to me though, when you don't have a QB that can throw for 300 yards, or a WR capable of making big plays, you need everything else to go perfect in order to win.

It's tiring. Phillip Rivers has lost like 8 of his starting teammates to season ending injuries, and he's going score for score with the SB champs after beating them 3 weeks prior. And he's probably not considered a top 5 QB anymore

I hear ya. It's gotten really, really old.

Then you have the Colts, who's GM came out and said that the QB's contract is the reason the rest of the team sucks.

Seriously, put him here and we are competing for the division.

Brady is going on 40. Draft a QB now, and try and make the division yours in 2-3 years. I couldn't care less about squeaking in at 9-7 or 10-6 just to get blown out. Try and build a 12-4 team
