I just read he was cut. Why? Seemed to be playing well on ST.

at least Tomlin won a SB, and made another. McD can't even do that. McD's tenure here is more akin to James Franklin.

or the HC, you know, the guy whose job it is to run the team, should empower JA to do this. Someone should ask McD if JA has this ability.

I'm not saying it, I'm saying analysts saw it. Does not make him a quitter to be frusturated. a lot of the sack screenshots, the WR is open, but that's at the time of the sack. When the pocket is collapsing and right before is when the WR needs to be open, a lot of those sacks he held onto the ball for a long time, and the analysist comments were that no one was open.

When your roster is likely a bottom 5 and your D is letting medicore QBs lead long drives on it, you have a GM who thinks a bunch of WR JAGs are sufficient, and an OC who likes to continue to handoff to a WR on third and short, yeah, can't blame him for not being 110% each play.

was not a great game by JA, but I'm not sure where "plenty of guys open" is coming from. It could be true. I know the announcers were saying the WRs had zero separation multiple times.

this was brought up by another analysist, I think Colin Cowherd or a local guy here in PGH, basically that JAs body language is he is tired of having to do everything every game. This team is at best 1-5 without him.

any trade idea that nets a legit WR1 can't be discounted at this time. A 2nd and one of our JAG receivers for Pickens would be amazing. Not sure if Dallas would go for it, they seem to never be in "blow it up" mode even when they should be.

NO disagreements from me. But yikes, the "UP" looks like the "UP" of a drought-era teama, which, lets not kid ourselves, this team is. Outside of having a unicorn QB, this team is really, really bad. Up because someone made a play. Yeah, yikes. Palmar had 2 nice plays, Yikes.

I hope Bean does something, but unless he does more than one thing, it won't be enough. Right now this roster is terrible. Take JA out and replace him with a mid-level starter and it's a 1-5 team at best. At this point, whatever Bean does to fix his past errors is just a bandaid. A WR gives us a chance to cover the massive defesive deficiencies that have led to us being carved up by a bunch of mid-level QBs. We need, at least, the following: an actual #1 WR, (DJ Moore would be ideal), an actual safety. With a WR and safety we may have enough to contend for the SB, but that's a big if, because we still need a LB (ours are always hurt due to McFranklin's obsession with small LBs), and a CB. We could also use a RB2 to cover for Cook so he's not on track to lead the NFL in rushes. I've just depressed myself. This roter is really, really bad for having a franchise QB.

gee. A team trying to get a QB more weapons. Hello Bean!!!

minus Allen this roster is drought era. Heck, some of those were prob better.

Flores with a legit OC. This is the question. HC stability is overvalued by some. NHL and NBA understand the need for new voices. Philly got it also. Hopefully Pegs sees what PSU just did and is emboldened to act if things do not improve here.

The fact Bean would not do these trades are reason enough for him to be canned. He legitimately is an egomaniac who believes he can draft someone better or his “everyone eats” philosophy is solid. His drafting record would likely net a JAG in those rounds, and he passes on Pickens and Metcalf. Meyer’s has no QB this year. if McD actually believes that he is as much an egomaniac as Bean.

Flores would be a great coach here.

I don't think the Kim situation, as terrible as it is, is materially distracting his ability to manage the Bills and/or Sabres. And the Sabres were a disaster prior to Kim getting ill. she seems to care more about winning than Terry.

I don't get giving this FO/coaching staff the benefit of the doubt anymore. They are the PSU equilivant of the NFL. Calm down everyone, we will go on a tear then lose in the playoffs and waste another year of Allen.

the injury excuse is such utter garbage. First, you should have better backups. Second, tons of teams have studs hurt. The Bucs are missing 2 stud WRs. Oh, and then the rookie they drafted, also a stud, gets hurt, and Mayfield is still making it work. SF has a ton of injuries. The Pats had 1/2 their offensive line hurt when we played them yet we couldn't take advantage of it.

he had one good game. I'm not sure it would take too long. On offense you have Allen, and the OL is probablly elite at run blocking and good in pass protection. So you get a RB 2 and have a stud running game. You trade 1sts or whatever to get an actual WR1. You also get a new OC who knows how to utilize this talent. The remaining stable of WR2s we have should be fine if the WR1 can take the top CB away. That should solve the offense. Defense is a bit more tricky. You need run stopping DT, better ends, completely new LBs (bigger ones who are not injury prone) and a new secondary. Just fill any of those spots with the most impactful player you can get, leaving the rest until it can be upgraded. But, with a WR1, RB2, and one actual impact part on D who is not over the hill, this team could turn it around quickly (oh, also new coaching, at least at OC).

we also have a "playoff slump"

Terry does not care, apperantly. He is becoming the Bob Nutting of NFL owners.

100% has to go unless we somehow win the SB. He is the James Franklin of the NFL. Good, not great and not going to lead us to where we need to be.

I think they take Cook out because no RB1 runs the entire game, except perhaps CMC. We are missing a capable RB2 (or an OC who knows how to use one). That said, I'm 100% glad Cook was pissed off at giving the ball to Moore instead of him or Allen. yeah, Brady may not survive the season. McD needs another scapegoat, and Brady is just falling into it for him.

I felt optomistic heading into the game. My bad.

I think this happens a bit. Someone in a game on Sunday was hurt by getting an orbital injury from a stretching band.
