No my issue with the Knox extension was he still had a year left on his rookie deal. Ahead of the 2022 season, Beane gives him a 4 year $52 million extension. To me it just didnt make sense. No team was about to make a move for him & Knox wasn't going to go anywhere. We didnt need to do that at that time & surely didn't need to pay him that much. At least imho. That extension turned out to be pretty bad & Knox restructured of course in 2024 to save us a little money. But while it reduced his cap number, it extended his time with us another year. A year where he'd get paid more with us than on any other team. So its still a win as far as he's concerned. The Knox extension is just 1 of course, there's been a few others that we can look at as weighing this team down a bit. But I agree with you on Bosa & the wr's for the most part. What we really need is some more impact players. You can probably count on 1 hand, the amount of impact players we've gotten out of our drafts. It just hasn't been good enough & its the poor drafting that has really put us in this situation.

hate that playcall, wtf

Cook never seems to get the ball enough

this team always seems so unprepared for these games & it really shows with the poor fundamentals

OMG he caught a ball!!!!

Dawson Knox with the $10 million play

Watching Coleman on these routes, its like he forgets he's supposed to catch the ball. He'll just swat at a pass or watch it in the air, never seems to really make an attempt to catch it tho. I do heavily criticize Brady's usage of him tho & the routes but players have to be able to ball too. And Coleman hasnt showed with any consistency that he can.

Guess Beane couldn't make the call while he's sitting on his hands. I'd like to think that we didn't go after Shaheed because someone better is coming our way. But that feels like fools gold at this point. sigh I know we have Josh Allen & all, but i wish we had a little bit more of a sense of urgency to actually make a real run at a title. I swear to the Gods that if we waste the career of this guy, it'll be a stain on this entire organization, that'll linger for the rest of our lives. I know if i were GM, i wouldn't rest comfortably knowing we have Josh. I'd do whatever i could to surround him with a playmaker or 2. Now Hoecht is gone. Are there any old Carolina players out there that we havent tried yet?

Yeah Dowdle was gashing us. Had a 6.8 yard avg & was their best player on offense & they just sit him. Part of it was game script of course but it reminded me of how we've been under-utilizing Cook. But our run D didn't exactly stop him out there. Regardless with the games ahead, we'll have a pretty good idea of what we have when we're thru. Hoping for the best. And for the day Ed Oliver can finally stay healthy

it was a good game today but idk if i'd call that Carolina team an actual team, not with Andy Dalton at the helm in his 1st game this year. I'm not taking anything away from how the D played, but Dalton isnt the test, its the appetizer. Next week is the Chiefs, lets see how our D looks versus them.

i remember earlier this season, in the 1st couple games, we ran some of those Johnson wheel routes & passes to the flat & he simply couldnt catch the ball. Ever since i havent seen them try to run those plays at all. Johnson's receiving stats so far this season: 2 catches on 7 targets for 19 total yards. Thats just not good enough.

Not utilizing Cook enough is 1 of the big constants within our losses. Everyone says he's 1 of our most dynamic players, 1 of the elite runners in the League. We should be feeding Cook like the Falcons fed Robinson. Line up Cook all over the field, so he can look for mismatches & keep the D off-balance. Something other than the bench please.

fire McDermott. The penalties & lack of being prepared & focused was unacceptable. An embarrassing performance here at home. We played down to our competition & helped to beat ourselves with our mistakes. And the Pats capitalized. Burn the white jerseys & never wear them again!

Must be nice to have a #1 wr on your offense. This 1 game by Diggs isn't the season, but i'm sure Josh would like some separation by his wr's. Maybe he wouldnt have to try to make the perfect throw & force it in there so often.

I would've rather paid DK that money than Greg Rousseau. Even tho i think we still need help on the Dline, Rousseau just doesnt make an impact to me. DK Metcalf definitely would its a great 'what if' to think about
