Lol this guy

Ur right. 19-0. LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!
It's too early to talk championship. The team hasn't even secured a winning record yet.
keep this elite defensive line intact no matter what the costs!
keep solid depth at o-line position to protect Jimmy G
don't dish out ever for high cost WR/RBs

Usually I'd agree with your sentiment. But the eyes don't lie. We have a championship formula that can win right now. The defense is a force that can dominate any team in the league. The offense.... Well that's the variable. If a team shuts down the run game, can Jimmy win us a game? He did against Pittsburgh but a good team would have destroyed us. The window is now.
In a way, I think the window starts now. Looking back to the 2011-2013 teams, I always felt the window opened in 2009, and we squandered 2009 and 2010
championship level defense
When Shanahan was hired I had hopes that he'd be able to consistently develop backups so that one could be traded every few years for one or two good draft picks. Now Mullen has turned some heads and drawn interest but maybe not enough to part with him, yet. That would help replace some picks in the 2020 and 2021 draft, depending on how much horse trading Lynch could do. All it takes is one desperate team.
Just remember the last time we acquired a Sanders for a title run.

Find a way to keep the main core together along with Sherman juice Tartt etc

Exactly! And if you follow what our own cap guru AB says, a few restructures and we can easily keep this core together. Personally, I'd feel a whole hell of a lot better if the team got it all done before the season ends and then get Kittle done the second he's eligable after the year.

Agree. Get an Elite Edge rusher and an Elite Franchise QB, and your window is open as long as they are playing. Case in point. Montana/Young and Fred Dean/Charles Haley. 20+ year dynasty. Bosa looks elite and Jimmy looks to be elite. Window is wide open now.
Right now it looks like our window is wide open we have the cap space to retain our core and Jimmys contract is aging well for us. The lack of draft capitol we have is a bit concerning though

I agree that Bosa looks elite but at this point I think Jimmy is still in the good but not elite category. Let's see how he is in 2 or 3 years after he has more game experience and hopefully better receivers as the young guys develop.

I'm not sold on Armstead. He's playing well, but I think he's more a product of the guys around him. As we've seen, anyone we plug is having success: Solomon, Taylor, and Blair.

I think some desperate team is going to drop big money on Arik only to find out they signed the Pre-Bosa/Ford Arik.

My thoughts exactly.

20 years..we are the next patriots

I doubt that will happen Biggest reason for the Pats success besides Belihick and Brady is the weak division they play in. Our division is way tougher so the path to make the playoffs is a lot harder. Teams windows close really fast now with free agency and the way players move around. Philly won 2 years ago and now their struggling. Rams made it last year and look what happened this year. Long runs are going to be harder to have in the future as salaries keep rising.
