Yeah, I'm of the mind Emery was just giving Lovie and Tice rope to hang themselves when they didn't draft or go after FA o-linemen. Miss the playoffs and the gallows pole looms.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

SFB - that would be different than the Viagra pole we have already discussed, right?

I personally like the moves Emery made (for the most part). I'm a die hard OL guy, and I'm bitterly disappointed in what we have now. But seriously, I do blame Jerry Angelo for that. I believe Emery will fix it this off-season. Angelo killed us, and any success we have this season isn't due to JA. It's in spite of JA. Personnel-wise, we are digging out of a very deep hole. It sucks.
Jerry Angelo killed us.

JA is a big culprit and deserves his LARGE share of blame. Emery could and should have got FA and draft OL. He could have got a few but Tice and co said they were "good". My bet is Emery is letting these guys show how much of a "guru" they really are. And let's throw out this "oh they won't be able to help as they're just coming in" excuse we keep hearing from others. The help would be very welcome right about now.
Emery can go out and get Bushrod and OG's (which I would love to see). In the end if they are mis-played or mis-coached by Tice's simplified scheme we are into year 4+ of the guru era and still on the O-line basement.
How many more years of this will be put up with??

You keep posting this garbage, but it's not true. Sorry, but Emery didn't spend a quarter of the cap space on ST players or anything. There were no contributors available who Emery passed on so he could sign another gunner. Find something else to rage against.
As for the O-line, yes, Emery wasn't able to replace it in an offseason. He didn't draft anyone there, but he picked players which he felt could help at other positions. Fixing the O-line will take drafting (maybe trading up) as well as some shrewd free agent signings. But throwing extra money at lumps of crap just because they are available free agents or reaching for a lineman at the expense of a better player in the draft is a good way to end up unemployed. Sorry, but JA left a team with lots of holes. Emery will need more than one draft to fix it.

At 8-4, and considering the playoff picture in general, I like our changes...it would take a completely typical, not so unexpected, self inflicted royal screw-up to miss the playoffs this year...oh, crap....

I'm still thinking we make the playoffs and then are one and done. This may change if they lose more than 2 of the last 4 games but I don't think that is likely.

For a team without an offensive line, and still needing another off-season to fix the Jerry Angelo mess - is anyone really surprised by us being 8-4 right now?
Alshon will be back. Some others, who are dinged up will be back too. I don't think this thing is over by any means. Lovie has his faults, but his players seem to bounce back from games like today.
The sun will still come up in the morning
