Pickens gonna get paid.

For his legacy I sometimes almost wish he would. I did say “almost”. Imagine what he could accomplish in a good, well constructed offence under the direction of a competent OC.

Fish rots from the head. Just speculation on my part but I dont think that offence is in McD’s DNA. it’s just not there. Combine that with his need to control and his desire, born of insecurity, to not be outperformed by an assistant and this is what you get.

He was slow before he was injured.

Amazing what throwing the ball downfield a little can accomplish. Who would have thought.

Scouting report says he's inaccurate.

I agree with this. Beane takes a lot of heat but I suspect McD, y'know, the guy who got him the job, is his puppet master. McD has no feel for offence, it's really just not in his DNA, he is dead to it. Seattle's head coach earned his stripes on the same side of the ball as McD but has produced a dynamic, innovative offence featuring an explosive passing attack (the more so since he now has his field stretcher, which was the one thing that arguably was lacking. Shaheed evidently just didn't move the needle for us - even if it would have given us exclusive bargaining rights and a compensatory pick if he walked. He also had the acumen to hire Klint Kubiak after an extensive search, saying he could design an offence to bring out the best from the talent on the roster. Have we done that with Allen? If the Seahawks had Josh under center they would be strong Super Bowl favourites imo).

Right. We need to find someone who is good at it.

It's a really well kept secret.

Hawes our go to guy.

Dion lol

Old flies on flypaper.

Well I do agree that they would be even better with Josh under center.

I agree this is the offence McD wants. We will find out whether he is right on February 8th when we play the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

I hear you. There is more than one way to lose but if the defence holds up and the reason we fall short is clearly the inadequacy of the receiving corps and Brady's scheme for it, the GM will have to answer for it. I don't want to think that Beane's decision to not pursue (or land) a WR was made in whole or even in part out of a disinclination to admit a mistake. That would be unprofessional. They've decided to stay the course and maybe they can make it work. Unless they can successfully open things up with the players they have I'd be sceptical but that's just one man's opinion for now. Seattle got my guy. I like the looks of that team.

No question the Bills are a top team. All the teams, including the contenders, have holes to fill. The question is could/should they have made a move to better their chances. Obviously they thought not. We will be in a better position to evaluate their decision at year end.

Idk. Is it me or is it him?

Yeah but he can block.

Deebo is not a step back. More like a country mile.

He looks exactly like Nosferatu.

They take fewer risks because of him. They are conservative. Take from Peter to pay Paul.

Most teams aren't competing for a championship.

I don't even want one.

And that's about all you can say for him.

Everybody eats.
