Even if Josh audibles, he is coached to audible to certain plays based on what he sees.

As much as I love Sean and Beane, I strongly believe that if we miss the reaching the SB again we HAVE to move on. Things seem stagnant and nothing has changed when compared to last year. I think Beane has done a disservice to Allen by not providing better targets especially when he could have instead of drafting crappy players (Landon Jackson, Bishop, Greg Rousseau, Basham, and that one CB that was traded to Dallas). Something has got to change. What do you guys think?

You're right...I stand corrected.

Yea the amount is quite odd. Every team does it but 7 former players is a bit much. Surely you'd want a look at someon other guys who maybe carry traits you don't have on the roster already?

Joe still getting them benjamins

I know you're just joking but we have to be at least a little concerned about the Pats threatening for the division. They, like seemingly everybody else in this middling conference, have an easy schedule the rest of the way. Their toughest remaining games are at Bucs and at Ravens (assuming they are fielding a normal team by late December). And then of course their 2nd matchup against us which might decide the division, seriously. If they keep pace with our wins the rest of the season and beat us in that game, the division is theirs. I wouldn’t bet on it of course, they're still a young team and have some legit flaws on both sides of the roster. But I wouldn't bet on us running away with this thing either.

I wasnt insinuating that we go get a CB for the PS. I was insinuating that our attentions are more urgent to get a corner on the 53 man roster sooner than later. We are down to 3 on the 53 man plus Dane Jackson on PS. We have a bigger supply of LB's right now on both the 53 and PS. Tre is getting torched and even Benford doesnt seem to be the same guy. To add a rostered corner plus add Hoecht and Ogunjobi next week we will need to cut 3 rostered players. Hopefully, those players can be added to the PS. But that will be harder if Spector is taking a slot already

We didn't "get rid of" Tyrel Dodson. When his contract was up, he was signed by the Seahawks to be their starter, to fairly decent money. He wasn't going to give up the opportunity to start in Seattle to be a Backup here.

McD overvalues his system. If the guys who we do have aren't great athletes, but know the system, and our D is terrible, how is that better than bringing in great athletes who can just make plays? It's frustrating. Our defense has not been good for several years in a row but we keep rotating these garbage role players through. OR, we sign new guys but give them zero playing time because they don't know the system. End of day, it is better in my opinion to make mistakes with great athleticism and at full speed in football, than to not make mistakes but also not have the talent to be effective at the job.

Imagine the outcry from democrats if instead of wanting children dead, he said “men should not play in women’s sports”. He could never have survived such a thing.

And that’s just how long it would take his car to travel 60 yards on an empty road. If you account for the speed of the cars traveling towards him it’s likely less than a second before they would’ve collided.

Remember making a goofy face and your mother said “be careful, it could stick like that!” We have a bunch of people here who will never be able to wear gloves again!

No stone unturned and the only LB still stuck under a stone from getting plowed is Spector.

We discussed this in another thread earlier in the week. My viewpoint is in line with the OP. I get having a few vets around. I don't get having 15-20% of the roster taking away from younger talent, more athletic talent. It reeks of cowardice how much we fear the other teams offense and value protecting the D at all costs. Prevent the big play is important, but you should be able to do it without all these old players.

Of course everyone does it. How many teams have 10% like that? I could see 5% MAYBE. 2 or 3 guys and not 7 would feel about right.

Didn't the team do that this past offseason already?

Yeah but can you admit that there's still some "Face Tattoo Syndrome" going on here, too? BB may be a terrific artist (or not) but what did you think would happen when a guy who, US citizen or not, sings solely in another language was picked to perform at event that sits dead center in the middle of American culture?

I see my sexual history with women. Shoulders, so many cold shoulders

How many TBD posters would actually cuss McDermott out and call him an arrogant coward to his face if they saw him in Wegmans? I think the actual answer is somewhere between zero and one. BTW, this is the first thing that Jerrah has done in his life of which I approve.

Because McD is not committed to winning. He's committed to winning on his terms. He will never adapt to the game and do whatever it takes to win. That's why he won't change the defense. That's why he only sticks with guys that he considers "good character" and why he won't bring in a big name D-coordinator. Look at the Patriots under Belichick. They would try anything and everything to win. He hired guys to film other teams practices and steal their plays. He would regularly bring in players that were deemed troublemakers and get them to play a role for his team. Brady hired a guy to deflate his footballs below the legal limit. Also, I don't think Josh is like this with his coaches or teammates like Brady was:

Bills are getting predictable on O and they don’t have a guy they can just go to and know he’s gonna win his route. Bills D has basically been the same for 8 years and right now its talent level is low. Old vets can’t make plays and McD don’t trust the young guys with the Xs and Os. The system itself is soft so when talent level goes down it’s worse.

Anyone who flips Jets fans the bird is OK in my book.

The legend of Bail Inspector lives on!
