My thoughts as well. Even if you take the playing aspect out of it, would Webb learn more under a defensive minded head coach with a new OC on an established team with an established QB, or would he learn more from an offensive minded head coach who now has to remake a team from scratch with his own philosophy, with a QB that's in need of a lot of coaching. There are probably more valuable lessons to be learned for him from the NYG opportunity at this point in his career irrespective of Daboll's success or failure.

That brick of text generated 5 pages of responses?!?! For those Princess Bride fans, I couldn't get Vizzini to embed. 🤷‍♂️ But... this works.

Soooo... you think it's gonna be a tailgate in the mobile home lot?

Granted it's NOLA, but I've seen bigger parades on my way home from work on a random Wednesday that are organized that day and thrown purely for the hell of it...

Is she blind? The hair screams douchebag from a mile away.

I’d be more concerned about the “Gordon” part…

I looked, twice actually, but I couldn't seem to find the middle finger emoji...

22 sacks in 4 games. Set the record for sacks against in a playoff game AND a Super Bowl in the same post season. Wonder if he’ll be similarly perplexed when Cincinnati moves on from him as well.

I’d love to hear more from Quinton Spain after the Bengals OL gave up a half season’s worth of sacks in 4 playoff games.

I’d sooner watch a halftime show featuring Kenny G, Yanni, and that guy who plays the pan flute than watch a country music halftime show. I HATE country music.

I can't speak for bandwagon, but while I won't begrudge Matt Stafford success after spending the majority of his career in NFL purgatory, I'd hardly call myself a Rams fan.

If Meh Jones was Josh Allen then Belichick never would have drafted him because Allen doesn’t fit the system the Pats*** are trying to run… 🙄🤦‍♂️🤣

Call me crazy, but I think you may have taken my facetious suggestion that Tommy and Wes were going to rekindle their romance a little too seriously. 🤪

Waiting for the announcement that Tom Brady is getting divorced and moving to South Beach in 3... 2... 1...

I'm curious to know what the profanity filter thought you wanted the Bills to do the the WR before you edited it.

This. The team came into the season with a target on its back and had to learn how to play with sky high expectations, and they didn't truly hit their stride until the second half of the Tampa game. Despite looking out of sync for large chunks of the season, Allen put the team on his back and led an offense that was 3rd in pt/game in the league. The thing that would have put this team over the top this season would have been to limit the soul crushing defensive lapses that happened at the worst possible time. They were killed by chunk plays in their losses all season.

I remember it being talked about at the time of Marchibroda's departure and the fact that Levy didn't replace him with a true OC. And, take it for what you will, there's this https://www.allsportswny.com/k-gun-creator-ted-marchibroda-not-forgotten/.

I'm not a big Levy fan. He was good at getting a locker room full of big egos on the same page, for the most part, but he could never get out of the way of his own ego. If not for Polian providing the collection of HOF talent on both sides of the ball there's no way he's a HOF coach. The lack of a true OC after Marchibroda, the wasted talent on defense with Corey, and his asinine insistence that the Bills could just "out execute" their opponent in the SB's as Parcells, Gibbs, and Johnson outschemed and outcoached him to an embarrassing extent was infuriating. He was blinded by the fact the Bills were just that much more talented than the AFC for that stretch of the early 90s. He never figured out you couldn't win a championship on talent alone when you're up against a similarly talented opponent.

Levy's hubris. For some reason I remember that he didn't really give Marchibroda the credit he deserved for the K-gun/no huddle concept and he thought Kelly was sufficient to keep it afloat without a true coordinator. It was a situation similar to wasting HOF talent on the defensive side of the ball with Walt Corey's putrid read and react BS.

Was the caliber of QB that they lost to really that much better, outside of Brady? The corpse of Roethlisberger, Tannehill, Lawrence, Wentz, and Jones... Outside of Brady, and Mahomes in the playoffs, none of those QBs went off on them. The only one of those 5 to even crack 200 yds passing was Tannehill with 216. They lost those games either because their offense was misfiring, special teams directly cost them points in the Steelers and Colts game, and/or at the worst possible time the defense was out of position and gave up huge chunk plays/long TDs.

From the day McDermott walked in the door through 2020 they had 30 picks. 11 of them are starters, 9 of them are filling a significant role in certain packages or providing solid depth, 6 are still in the league with other teams (including Wyatt Teller, Zay Jones, Ray-Ray McCloud, Darryl Johnson, and Jake Fromm), and 4 are either out of the league or on practice squads somewhere, none of whom were drafted higher than the 5th round. This doesn't include the 2021 draft class that used the 1st and 2nd round picks regularly in their DL rotation, or their current starting RT. They drafted and developed Allen, Milano, White, Dawkins, Bass, Knox, Davis, Brown. Singletary has had his moments when they're using him correctly. Edmunds may be polarizing, but he's an effective starting MLB. Oliver is coming into his own. Phillips was coming on the second half of the season after the knee injury. The jury is out on Epenesa, and so far he's underperformed. Cody Ford is probably the only obvious bust. How is this "pretty terrible"?

Local news tonight said the Saints are going to be kicking the tires on Byron.

Kyle Allen. At one time they were collecting Williamses, then Phillipses... it's time to collect Allens. Maybe they can get Brandon and Austin as well.

FIFY.

I click on the thread expecting Terry Tate and get a fire Frazier thread… I would have preferred to have gotten Peter Pan’d.
