The WR free agent signings stunk. Beasley "2.0" and Brown "2.0" were bizarre and useless pickups, yes.
4.3 was a long time ago for Samuel. He's a bad team's WR2/3 kind of guy. Not very explosive--4 YAC, 9.9 YPR.
he's emotionally exhausted from the whole Damar thing. Diggs always felt that he should have been the one to "die on the field" and be revived to all the outpouring of love that it brought Damar. Didn't they catch Diggs putting an uninsulated screw driver in an outlet in the Bills locker room at least once?
this would be a typical Beane move (Crowder, Brown 2.0, Beasley 2.0, Sanders, Andre Roberts, Duke Williams, Terelle Pryor, Deonte Thompson, Andre Holmes).
If WRs are calling, keep him away from the phone...
I have no reason Mrs. Pegula is guiding her husband in a any significant way re: major decisions such as firing a HC. But yes, I think neither should be running a football operation. They've proven to be sports owners, not cogent managers of the teams they own.
that's one way to miss the point
This is a team that should have won at least 11 games all along. McD had them at 6-6. They got to 11 and bounced again by KC, at home.
I can't give McD a trophy for getting this team at least where it should have been. Sure there were injuries, every team has them. No one was saying that KC was a powerehouse or juggernaut coming into that Divisional playoff game....
It’s easy to see who read this article and who just crapped out the same tired “it’s just Dunne hating on McD” responses.
its a well made argument by Dunne. If you don’t agree with it, come up with an equally well argued counter.
Pegula is checked out. Happy to have one of his teams at least having national relevance while the other wallows in mud. Hes got his stadium coming and rabid fans—enough of whom think it’s fine to rack up regular season wins and get bounced in the playoffs (“remember the drought???!!”) The money prints itself either way. Laugh at Jerry Jones all you want, but it’s clear he agonizes over the misfortunes of his team when it consistently comes up short in the post season.
Jones was completely mediocre that year. For the second half of that season Daboll and Jones had the team in a free fall. The backed into the playoffs and were trounced.
Of course the proof of Daboll’s fraud was his own belief that he could be a serious contender going forward with Jones—as though he could simply make him a very good QB. But it’s clear that Daboll was a product of the talent around him. They carried him.
But Jones stinks, then he got injured, after he got paid. And Daboll was left with his trousers around his ankles….
