This post will age like fine wine... Revisiting this in the future will be great fun...

Lots of other teams pay high priced WRs and have a highly paid franchise QB. That’s a cop out

McDermy and posse watched some film. Not sure if it was on the Falcons. Maybe Gone With the Wind (based in Atlanta for you young kids out there). So we don't prepare for "the Falcons". We go with our generic game plan (aka The Process). Falcons get over 150 rushing. McDermy and Babbi-***** are shocked. Will need to watch more film over the bye week. Maybe sit a few players for the next game for some odd reason. 4 and 2 and behind the Patriots. Hate to say it but this team has shown nothing in the way of improvement. Teams are not scared of the generic game plan. Good game for Atlanta to improve on some stats.

walker is a good bull rush away from being a 5 tool type player, and if we get our ish together and have hoyt and bosa rotate at DE, groot and epenesa at the other, oliver and TJ at 3, and DQ and walker at 1 tech, we might have the best pass rush since shwartz

It's true that no one could have known what JJ would become, but it was clear that anyone who followed him at LSU, knew what he could become. In 2 years at LSU, 2,415 yards with an average of 14.6 and 24 TDs. There was a lot of potential just sitting there waiting for us to make a move for him and we went with Diggs.........UGH. I see it as just one more blown opportunity that could have put this team over the hump.

Thats alot of money to be bad

i think the concussions and such have him scared. remember the non angles he took on henry in week 1? he's just not an nfl level safety at this point.

October in Berea!

And I don't know why. The Texans also play a base 4-2-5 defense and play even more zone coverage than the Bills. It's not like Poona Ford, who has done better as a NT in a 3-4 on both LA teams. (for the record, I had to look up all this info on other teams' base defenses.)

He's the most ridiculous human I've seen front of a camera, trump or biden excepted. Could be gummies, could be Xanax. But something is off with that lad and it's not senility.

Interesting opinion.

Tim Settle was not very good when he was here and he was here for 2 seasons if I remember correctly.

Then why does it matter if he out snaps Kincaid?

This Wr group must be full, because ain't nobody eating. It's more like everybody snacks

We had one and let him walk. Tim Settle is ranked #5 overall and #7 in run defense among interior defenders.

This is a very fair and complicated question to answer. In some ways, I do feel like Beane has provided a supporting roster good enough to win the Super Bowl. In other ways, I'm tired of him struggling to find high-impact players at key positions (D-Line in particular). At the same time, I feel like McDermott has done a good job with building the locker room/culture. But I also think his defensive scheme fairs poorly in the playoffs, and is becoming more outdated with each passing season. Every January for the past five years, I've asked the same questions... "What is holding us back, and what do we need to change?" Why do we keep winning so many games in the regular season, but just can't get over the hump in the playoffs? Is it injuries? Bad luck? A mental block against the Chiefs? Is it purely a lack of talent? Lack of execution? Poor gameplan? I'll be honest. I'm not 100% sure of the answer. But I do know this. Josh Allen is not the problem. And he won't be playing at this level forever. Maybe it's McDermott. Maybe it's Beane. Maybe it's a combination of both. My point is... if we can't get over the hump THIS year... with literally everything falling into place for us, then we just need to take the chance and replace them both. The worst thing that can happen is we get back to the same place with a different group.

I saw the warming pipes laid under that turf. I hope they remembered to put them under the fake turf sidelines too

Yes, hindsight is very helpful that way. Nobody knew just what Jefferson would become, so it’s not really that easy.

Maybe we should be proactive and bring Rex Ryan back before the Dolphins get him?

I agree but my concern is that the defensive coordinators of the better defenses have an answer for the methodical, run/short pass heavy offense and we're going to struggle against those teams going forward.

Let's not forget that Watson could return soon. LOL the Browns.

Perhaps I should have better qualified the worry I have as I’m not concerned about our offense; it’s the matchups we have on defense vs their offense.

Rooster?

I don’t think Samuel is tradable due to that contract.
