Who said “his HC prospects were stronger than ever?” Please quote where that was said. You’re too smart to use hyperbole to try to mislead people. Let’s not try to distort reality to strengthen our argument. You’re better than that. What was said is that, “he will be a HC in 2026.” He will. No one said that his prospects were stronger than ever. It’s based on the landscape and odds. He’s the betting favorite for the LSU job. He’s a candidate at Penn State. He will be a candidate for the handful of NFL jobs that open. He’s +400 and the second choice to be the Titans HC. He’s +1200 to be the Giants next HC despite them just firing the last guy who was previously Josh Allen’s OC. https://www.betonline.ag/sportsbook/futures-and-props/nfl-regular-season/coaches.

McDermott is pissed because of the TBD thread that said he was not an innovator, so his response is to model his offense around the great offenses of yesteryear before the forward pass was legal and try to win with it in 2025.

Can you delete thread once you start one? Asking for a friendski...

This is a really bad matchup for us. Solid defense. Can run the ball well and Baker Mayfield has been really good this year.

For as down as I am right now they can really retool quickly with some real resources. The old guard like Milano/Taron/Knox can go and save money along with Samuel. The defense with some better health I feel better about with Walker/Oliver DT Groot/AJ DE CB Benford/Hariston SAF Bishop. Not perfect but some nice young guys I can get excited about. Offense is so damn easy in a sense, sell out for a good WR1, draft 2 guys, and potentially add another FA WR. The passing corp I could get pumped about if it is something like this: WR1. Jeudy (example please don't hurt me haha) Slot. Shakir WR2. Draft pick WR3. Palmer WR4. Draft pick or FA TE: 1. Kincaid 2.Hawes What infuriates me is they could've had something like that at WR if Beane actually was more aggressive this last offseason ugh.

One last fun Beane nugget. His first internship with the Carolina Panthers? Public Relations.

Pretty soon we're gonna have to change your screen name to "Low Negative" 😅

McDermott gets hired by a rebuilding team as HC in about 10 minutes. Daboll will have his pick of OC jobs, as will Mike McDaniel. Both will get another shot at HC in a few years, after they rehab their reputations. They don't call it a coaching carousel for nothing.

At the very least I hope this puts some pressure on Brady to coach for his job. Yesterday was abysmal.

I have my issues with Daboll. I think we are a run first time right now and I'm ok with that. But the man could scheme receivers open.

They are also the same "type" 4 of our DEs are power/compression. Maybe 5, although Hoetch has some juice. Only Solomon has some bend, but he's looking like a JAG.

I love what he brings to the defense. The problem with Ed is he isnt consistently great. He's had a few dominant years here and there. To your point he hasnt played a full season in 4 years. I'd love to have him here but not at 20 million dollars a year.

Gotta lick their wounds and come out focused. It will be my last game ever at Rich stadium!

It looks like they could free up about 23 million next year by designating Samuel and Knox as post June-1st cuts and also cutting Rapp who is in the last year of his deal next year, but since they are already almost 4 million over the cap next year, we would only have about $19 million to work with. Assuming there would be some other restructures and/or moves involved. Have 5 void years hitting next year as well eating up cap space if we don't move to re-work those in Milano, Jones, Bosa, Epenesa, and McGovern. Would expect McGovern, Epenesa and Bosa to look to be extended... that would help lower those cap hits of roughly $15-16 million. Milano and Jones are likely not returning and we are going to have to eat the cap hits of about $15 million on them.

Different offense for half a season tho i really believe it's just less favorable game script and more tape on Brady than anything. We're not as fortunate w the bounces this yr so defenses are being put in better positions where previously we've been able to keep ahead of them. Snowball effect if you will

I don't think people around the NFL (or the NCAA) are looking at Brady and saying "Wow, what an amazing job he's doing with such poor receiving weapons." I think it's more likely that they are saying, "This guy has Josh Allen, an outstanding offensive line that has had two years of injury-free continuity, a top 3 running back (who's also a receiving threat), and three good-to-excellent tight ends. WTF is wrong with this guy?"

I love every part of this

To the max? As if! Things are just like grody right now in B-lo and totally bitchin' in Bean Town. Gag me with a spoon!

Well there was the play in the Panthers game where he was running around back there playing chicken with what? 3 or 4 defenders before Nic Scourton got his first sack of the year. Something’s off. Coaching asks, Josh himself or lack of talent. Very sad to see our guy be less as impactful with his legs. The use of Josh on the ground always had a dedicated defender to account for him and him alone. That always helped. Maybe like @Yobogoya! said… he’s just sick and tired lol

Interesting thought here for everyone... Everyone feel free... McDermott and Daboll both get fired today, who is the first to get a HC gig? Gotta be mcdermott right? Daboll will get an OC gig anywhere. I'm not sure McDermott would get many chances at even a college DC, and that's not a put-down

And that would go a long way with a guy like Allen who values that type of mentality

The Atlanta game was the first time I noticed Allen looked slow. I’m not sure if he has lost a step or is not in the same physical shape as prior seasons but it was noticeable to me just watching on TV.

I love Ed. He plays great when he's in there, but he's basically the Kincaid of the defense. Just can't seem to stay on the field.

Took long enough. He's definitely not head coach material. And there were plenty of times where he didn't even look like coordinator material. Schoen's gotta be following soon.

This is something I tried to mention before to anyone who would listen. I was told it was no biggie and that the cap is a myth. Even if true, isn't it an even bigger myth when you have $60 million?
