Another epic fail by the Southern Avenger

4-3 front with 3 DTs + 1 DE, with the DT on the strong side. This frees up DEs for pass downs.

You're right. Redundancy to redundancy is the Beane model for building a team. (You have to do that when you favor old guys and draft injury prone young fellas.)

Is Josh Norman available?

But what's another thread about the same thing?

Keep McDermott but find a new GM I mean seriously... "He tried" doesn't cut it. Give McDermott a better roster to work with

It's been mentioned quite a bit in the bitter thread about Darius Slay.

He had a 99 yard game plus the 2 100 yards games like you cited. He has averaged 5.2 ypc or more in 5 of those 6 games. Their running game has been good of late especially for the most pass heavy team.

ANOTHER MEDIA INVENTION No direct quote. No evidence. No wrongdoing. Just partisan operatives feeding rumors to desperate reporters hunting for another scandal that doesn’t exist. Under his authority as commander in chief, the president can blow up pretty much anybody on Earth whom he deems a national security threat. He does not need permission from Congress, the media, or a panel of self-appointed commentators. The missile strikes on drug-running vessels operated by a designated terrorist group are lawful, routine, and predictable. What made the episode explosive was that it enraged exactly the faction that always reacts this way: the political left. Impeachment is the only real consequence available to the administration’s critics, and after two failed efforts, that prospect does not keep President Trump awake at night. Republican control of the House makes even a symbolic attempt unlikely. The central allegation is that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued an order to “kill everybody” on the vessel. The Post framed it this way: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. ‘The order was to kill everybody.’” The headline amplified the accusation: “Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all.” A “spoken directive” means no record. The quote is a paraphrase. Nothing indicates that the source actually heard the Hegseth say those words. This is an anonymous, secondhand characterization of an alleged statement — precisely the sort of raw material the Post loves to inflate into scandal. If these anonymous sources truly believed the secretary issued an illegal order, they were obligated to report it through the chain of command. Their silence speaks louder than any paraphrase. The most plausible explanation is that someone misunderstood — or deliberately distorted — an aggressive statement by Hegseth and nothing more. The United States targets terrorists. The implication behind the Post’s story is that survivors remained after the first strike and that either the secretary or JSOC ordered a second engagement to kill them. No evidence supports that claim. No one outside the direct participants knows what the surveillance picture showed or what tactical conditions existed immediately after the first blast. It is time to put a moratorium on the online laws-of-armed-conflict “experts” who materialize whenever a strike hits a target they sympathize with. They insist that the presence of wounded combatants instantly transforms a hostile platform into a protected site and that destroying the vessel itself becomes a war crime. Even the New York Times — no friend of the administration — punctured that claim: According to five U.S. officials … Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile failed to accomplish all of those things … and his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast. The mobs demanding Hegseth’s scalp will be disappointed. The voters who supported this administration expected firm action against terrorist cartels and open-ocean drug networks. Another hostile vessel was reduced to an oil slick, and most Americans see that as a success. https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/turns-out-that-hegseths-kill-them-all-line-was-another-media-invention https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/us/hegseth-drug-boat-strike-order-venezuela.html

The difference is that I’ll be disappointed if they fail …

I generally agree with what you say here. They're in the same conference with an 80s 49ers type dynasty team. Shyt happens man I still think they can make some noise here

Don't summon the devil, don't call the priest If you need the strength, the conjuring. Anyone got a bucket of KFC to sacrifice?

How about a linebacker like this

It looks like the other GM’s have been clowning him for a few years now too.

Or the secular.modern meaning that I intended https://english-grammar-lessons.com/cast-pearls-before-swine-meaning/ The idiom "cast pearls before swine", which has Biblical origins, paints an image of giving pearls, considered to be rather valuable, to pigs — which are presented as notoriously dirty animals. "I don't know anything about wine! Offering me that expensive Sauvignon Blanc would only be like casting pearls before swine. A beer will do me just fine." "I don't know why you waste your time trying to teach these YouTube addicts about Tolstoy. You're just casting pearls before swine."

With that atrocious defense Cincy won’t be torching anybody

Get to a Super Bowl and I’ll change my mind. He gets credit for Allen and his OL build. A+ on both accounts. He found, or via multiple trade backs, lucked into Cook, but drafted him and extended him. A+ The defense is built in a way to constantly have injury issues and, what do you know, we always do. The weapons are hilarious. Bust in Coleman. Bust, for different reasons, in Kincaid. Lit money on fire with injury prone Samuel and Palmer. Insane contract for Knox. And while im at it, Shakir is a luxury contract. Hes not a primary slot and is holding us back because he’s paid to be such. He’s a move around chess piece, not some Amon-Ra lite. We need an actual slot WR. And now we have Beane bringing the circus to Buffalo … again … for the second time in the same season.

User name checks out

Yet his team fails to give him the rock more than 20 times per game. Since October 16 he's had two 100 yards rushing games, the standard of good running games. He doesn't scare me. It's possible he runs all over us but like our chance running over their defense more.

Fans always look for big name former head coaches to be DC’s/OC’s. I don’t hate that idea but sometimes it gets ridiculous

I’m not really sure Ingram is that much better than Dane Jackson so I’m not really sure what that loss is here. They took a chance trying to get Slay he’s not interested in coming and it cost the Bills their 4th outside corner. I’m not really seeing how this is that tragic a situation

If they won out, you would expect it.

Burrow is listed as 6'4" 215... that's still thin.
