0% chance Miami keeps McDaniel next year. The only question is if he finishes out the season. Glenn was always just a sacrificial lamb for this one season, much like Lovie Smith was for the Texans a few years ago. I wouldn't call his seat hot, he was almost guaranteed to be gone after a year. Daboll probably bought himself another year with the Eagles win, plus the injuries.

Backup RB is very much in the top 10 issues we have, we just haven't had a reason to care about it yet. If Cook missed a game, we'd have no way to move the ball with teams keying on the short pass. Both Ray & Ty have looked terrible running the ball. I wouldn't be surprised if we traded for a cheap RB with some juice for a late pick. Maybe they'd IR Ray, who knows.

This rep shows exactly why Max should be on the field 100% of the time. He plays his zone, then sees the crossing route headed his way & gets there before it becomes a problem. Too many of our DBs/LBs are content to stay home in the middle of their zone, then too slow to react to routes coming their way until the ball is already caught. If that was Tre in coverage, that's a TD on the crosser.

There was still a ton of soft zone that left guys wide open on short routes & crossers. A lot of that was made irrelevant by the pass rush or Dalton bobbling snaps, but Tetairoa had 99 yards on mostly easy catches & could've had much more with even average QB play.

It's a lot easier to execute a successful tush push when Chris Jones isn't on the D Line.

Bengals will put up 30+ on us even with Flacco. But we might score 50 on their D.

Josh sets the protections, that's on him. Still, he has evaded similar blitzes dozens of times- just not that one.

Jags fans are saying BTJ is playing through a shoulder injury, potentially a torn labrum. If true, that would explain the short-arming & avoiding contact. He's probably frustrated with the quality of targets he's getting too. His stats while Lawrence was out last year were better than with him.

I agree that we have some talent, and could be much improved on paper. But McD's 20yr old defensive scheme that is built on "soft zone" coverage will still crap the bed against any capable offense. The Defense might come out & look amazing this week vs Andy Dalton & a middling offense, but when we play Mahomes the next week, it'll look like he's playing 7-on-7 vs our coverage.

I like him as a player, but no way can we fit his contract & still add help at DB or WR. For that reason, it's an obvious pass.

I don't get Kincaid & Samuel possibly missing another game with a rib & oblique. They'll both have 3 weeks since they last saw contact. It's not like they have to throw a ball, it's most likely just pain management. Get a toradol shot, wear rib protection if needed, suit up and help dig this team out of the hole we've created.

8 weeks ago, this Carolina match-up was the easiest game on our schedule. Now I'm legitimately worried.

Bills identity: Josh Allen & The Bend but also Break Defense

I'm sure they're content to just lose all or most of their games & get a top-3 draft pick. They'll continue starting one of the turd QBs they have, doesn't really matter which one.

This season is a strange one to tank. There's no consensus #1 or #2 QB in the draft. There's probably 7 QBs who could be first rounders, depending on how the rest of season & pre-draft stuff goes. So even though Miami & the Jets are tanking for a QB, the odds aren't very high they'll get a franchise savior.
