who never won a SB with a loaded Philly team, and lucked into one with a loaded KC team. Reid is overrated, IMO. That said, Bean is the bigger issue. I mean, we have Allen and zip on the front 7 to pressure other QB's. Another offseason of adding non impactful players and Bean should be gone. And Stafford was not/is not as good as Allen. You need other players. Or look at Marino. Basically went to a SB and never again.

we need a stud RB so we can stop running JA so much. I mean, every now and then. But it was like Daboll had no clue, and it was a middle school offense of Josh running almost every other play for a while.

agree with all of this, but our defense was #1 only because of the weak teams it faced. It would have had it's hands full with the Bengals also. Allen is the NFL's best QB, what he just did against 2 good D's (NE and KC) were amazing.

hopefully the new OC will also tell Bean who to draft for OL, and to stop taking players of need (DL last year) instead of BPA.

I love the optimism of the OP, but man, this is nothing like 89, I don't think. We don't have Bruce Smith, or anything similar (unless we trade 3 firsts for Watt, which I would do given Bean's drafting in the 1st minus Josh). We have no impact LB's, and the OL has no one like Kent Hull, Ritcher, etc. We have Allen. I've used the Marvin Lewis Bengals analogy, but a better one is the 90's Dolphins. Marino and ..... Bean won't be fired, while I think he should be, but another offseason of adding zero impact players and he needs to go. The window is there, but we need other players. It's a QB league, but he can't do it all himself. Also, Allen better win NFL MVP. If he's not on this team I doubt we are even 8-8.

100% agree. Esp. with Bean. He added NOTHING from last year's team, and look at the result. He adds nothing again and he should be gone. Frankly, I'd ditch him now, but one more try, okay.

losing in the playoffs, similar to 90's Dolphins. I agree not fire everyone, but Frazier's D's have been bad for the last 2 years, and Bean--while he won't be fired, had better nail this draft and offseason. Because we are so close, right now, and Bean failed this past offseason.

problem is, there isn't always next year. I'm sure the Dolphins thought they would eventually beat us after getting to the SB in Marino's rookie year. Never happened again.

you have added literally nothing here all night, congrats on that.

that would take a creative DC. you fair catch at the 5 and get it at the 25? that's new to me, although I've never seen it happen. Explains squib kicks.

Bean failed miserably on this D. Total failure, and failure by Frazier to go into prevent. I'd make the D take a bus home. They failed the team. yeah, shutting down stuff you disagree with?

having a franchise QB gives you a chance. It's wonderful after the last 17 years. But it's going to get very infuriating if Bean can't figure out how to build a D that can stop other teams, esp. in crunch time. Otherwise, we won't win a single thing.

why, because analyzing games without rose colored glasses is too hard? The reality of the NFL is you need multiple superstars to win. We have ONE. our D is a disaster and has been most of the year against good teams. We can't put a complete 60 min game together. It's a problem and I think it stems from personnel. NO impact players on front 7, and only really Allen and WR's on offense. In a conference with Mahomes, Herbert, and Burrow, we won't be winning many playoff games unless Bean is gone.

while a lot of what you say is true, and I like the optimism, reality in the NFL is another story. We have a superstar QB and nothing around him on offense or defense. Bean has been a disaster. A bunch of average players and a superstar QB in a league (AFC) filled with great QB's gets you the 1990 dolphins.

I've been here much longer than you. You've provided no facts to disprove what I stated.

oaky, we can be the "marginally better than Marvin Lewis Bengals". haha. glad winning only home playoff games is good for you. Do you go around in your AFC East Champ gear also?

haha. your funny, and an idiot. sure, this team is great. oh, wait, we just lost a game we should have won (again).

how is this an idiotic take. What was factually wrong? I didn't move goalposts. If you play a team when they are playing like crap, they are not a great team at that point. And then you have to argue with my take by counting losses. Change your screen name to "Moral Victory" why don't you go away. Or change screen name to "moral victory" because you seem to love them. I did provide facts. You provided nothing other than your usual homer trolling.

the fact is your a homer who loves being mediocre. Are you drunk? They went to OT because the D folded, and then LOST. Oh, you must be a "moral victory guy".

should have, could have, would have. That's what losers say after losing a game. And NOTHING IN the OP is wrong. We suck, and our D folded at an historic rate. We are devoid of elite players minus Allen.

that has nothing to do with the post. Read the post. Do you have facts? If not, get out.

we played great on offense. Too bad a football team also needs a defense and front 7. Our D folded prob faster than any D in NFL history giving up that FG and TD. haha. You're funny. You know I'm right. Either than or you are a total homer.

(1) reported for your abusive language. (2) why use facts, when you can just post conclusory statements (oh, and I said Allen had a great game).

anyone have any facts? Like who did we beat when they were playing well? Do we have an impact player on the front 7? Has Bean not blown the last 2 drafts missing impact players. Nope. I'm right, you are all wrong and can't handle it, because the truth is that we have a GM, HC, etc. that can't get us past this point. exactly, WE LOST.

you guys are great saying my take is ridiculous with ZERO facts to back it up.
