If Josh doesn’t win one in the next 4-5 years, this board will likely have exploded by then. So I agree with you, there is some urgency here.

Hitting the QB works if you get to him legally. Hitting him illegally will get you penalized/kicked out of the game. Not seeing this working, Einstein.

What you’ve outlined sounds right here. I really think they’re going to try and keep White, as long as he’s willing to restructure his deal. An older CB coming off an Achilles injury, a couple years removed from an ACL injury, isn’t ideal for Tre’s outlook or market value. That said, I’m keeping fingers crossed he can surprise and rejoin our CB ranks. If that somehow does happen, maybe they look into moving one of the CBs like Benford over to FS. I still would want to draft a young safety as well, but it’d be nice to have additional flexibility in our DB room.

Who’s our 1T without Jones though? I think we need to resign him for at least another 1-2 years, and get someone in first few rounds of the draft too.

It is a bit eerie

I’m actually curious to hear how Brady sees the field and action in real time. For as much as he won with less athletic ability than most around him on the football field, he should have as good as grasp as anyone what’s happening on the field and be able to share that the audience (ie “if that were me, I’d have made sure the balls were deflated before the game”).

Lamar will prob win it because of timing and the buzz that was surrounding the Ravens at the end of the season (when votes were cast). But watching the Ravens game yesterday, no doubt in my mind Ravens would have won if Allen was their QB. Unfortunately, I’m not sure the voters think so clearly on such matters.

Will be watching. Love everything about the Super Bowl event, plus it’s last chance to watch NFL until next year. And I will probably pull for Mahomes, just because I’d prefer a world where he is thought of as the best (until Josh beats him in playoffs), versus a world where Brock Purdy is actually taken seriously. Plus we can also say we almost took down the eventual SB winner.

Once I interview them both, I’ll let you know my decision. Until then, I don’t know better than any other Joe Schmo on the street. You apparently do though lol

If you don’t have OC experience, you know how you get some? You interview for an OC gig, and fingers crossed, eventually convince someone you are qualified and get hired. Assuming you’ve landed a job in life, hopefully your first employer saw more of your potential than you’re giving Thad credit for.

Seems you’re the one discounting minority candidates’ resumes. While it is true that the Rooney rule requires that a minority candidate be interviewed, even if Thad is the only minority candidate that the Bills interview for their open OC position, it is still a credit to Thad and his performance that he is getting the interview versus any other minority candidate. And whether the Rooney rule exists or not, any interview is a chance for each candidate to make their case for why they would be the best candidate for the role and what they do with the offense which would be the differentiator versus the other candidates. While Brady has a huge leg up on other candidates already, if Thad or whoever else really impresses the hiring powers, they could potentially land the job instead. And worst case for Thad, he doesn’t get this job but is better prepped for future opportunities.

OP said Magnum

None? Smiley has been here for seven years, this being his 2nd season as the ST Coordinator (first five were as assistant). Given the 2022 success, maybe he’s got some good will banked with McD. If he was impacting Bass’ kicking issues, wouldn’t this have shown itself prior to this season?

We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.

You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave.

Preach, man. You got this nailed too 💯.

I’m skeptical of giving John Harbaugh too much credit though. I didn’t realize it, but I saw he hasn’t been to an AFCCG since 2012? Imagine the critics if McD fell short that many years in a row?

You nailed it 👍…this team can’t be losing crap games next season

Fire Beane!!! 😝

I always preferred 6 teams, was annoyed when they watered down the playoff entry and moved it to 7 teams. Also gave the 1 seed an even bigger advantage.

Here’s a solution for other teams, stop trying to beat us 😉

That’s what stung in the 90’s too, man. I still have visions of when we win one, all the guys will be there celebrating (Jim, Thurman, Bruce, Andre, even Marv)…

Right. Plus, it’s still ultimately McD’s call. Unless @boyst is saying the players took it to Pegula, and Pegula told McD that Dorsey had to go. At the same time, does this mean McD/Pegula waited until after the Denver game to actually pull the trigger on what the players voted for?
