reads like you think he’s the defensive coordinator and not the head coach I don’t mean that as an ugly prodding at you but I think it’s a common theme in discussing him. At some point, he owns the whole show and nitpicking which unit failed which drive in which quarter of which game is all him regardless

A few thoughts- outside Josh, no one that can take over a moment on the biggest stage. Generally reliable guys but not many superstars at key spots. Compared to KC who has pass catchers and pass rushers of that tier during that run. Coaching has wilted a few times in big moments. Enough said there. we see the bills are often battling really hard and overcoming late season adversity - I think sometimes our playoffs feel like they’ve been 8-10 weeks long. Come January the team has looked gassed a few times.

it was definitely rich with captioned photos telling the story if not, there are bigger questions

for like 6 people involved in the story

know what else guys remember? Winning. As long as you get it right, it’s not a big deal.

the other major issue is quite simply that you can get a near McDermott quality DC, but the equivalent offensive coaching talent essentially only exists at head coach. so great Defensive HC and churning OC vs Great Offensive HC and stable excellent DC

for future years, migrating to sleeper instead of yahoo may be a winner. Just floating the idea yea, have to think the bengals will be a hot pick.

I’ll admit that with Samuel being dinged up already and expected to take some carries that come with increased injury risk plus the fact we are hoping shakir and Samuel both play at their ceilings and I’ve seen varying takes on Dotson outside I’d be ok with a little extra insurance. I’ve said since May that my biggest worry is Samuel gets hurt early leaving Keon-shakir-hollins at wr and suddenly Josh starts having to shoulder extra hits in September. like you said though - just a cost analysis and sounds like you aren’t drastically off on it albeit not doing the existing trade.

but a much cheaper contract than Samuel. I haven’t seen enough of his play to have a major opinion but a 3 for a 5 to get a guy with at least some chops seems not insurmountable in cost admittedly not a student of his game but did bring him up a couple times in the last week as a realistic option and curious about opinions

that, and being alive.

He’s 110% on the market currently.

Real answer: call about Jahan Dotson

I think he’s a good nfl player but I also think you’d get rather uncomfortable firmly planting him in your top 16 wrs highly enough to make rude comments to someone putting him 17-32 go ahead, do a list and name names. you just aren’t getting him ahead of JJ, tyreek, ceedee, chase, brown, st brown, Adams, aiyuk, Wilson, Evans and that gets you 10 deep. is he really that head and shoulders above guys like puka, Moore, McLaughlin, Collins, metcalf? and is it wild to say probably at least a one of MHJ, nabers, and odunze beat him out? That ignores guys like diggs, Allen, Deebo or Godwin who likely start to age out of this quickly and are WR2 on their roster ((or the younger guys like waddle and Davonta at wr2))

I mean you listed a guy that’s a below average 1, a young question mark and a rookie taken rounds after ours. At best it’s two bad rooms hoping someone changes their resume this season

I’m going to throw a move out for discussion: Jahan Dotson

so there’s no double u?

yea though I wouldn’t call that a remotely average sandwich price anymore than I would a foot long lobster roll price.

I think we have a good regular season group. I think we will have challenges in January when the coverage gets tighter, and late in games in January when the corners get away with more contact. think fitz. Totally fine qb in the second quarter. Not the guy in the final two minutes.

yea, it’s an interesting stat but can be terribly misleading offense A gets 8 possessions gets to the red zone twice, kicks a fg from the 15 and qb tosses a td from the 2 offense b gets 8 touches and in the red zone 6 times, and has 4 td and a fg but passing from the 2 is 0-2 and one of those is a pick clearly you’d love offense b and not even blink. The sample size is growing on passes inside the 3 and I think it’s a bit of play design, a bit of wr skill set and also Josh not being quite as precise as third on the list…. But there’s a difference between a problem, and simply a spot to give some extra practice reps. I do think this is a spot Brady will excel with scheming matchups with formation and motion in a way that Dorsey struggled. I also think dalton, Coleman and Samuel each fit that niche better than Gabe-diggs-Knox

they are top 5? 10? In the red zone. It’s a pretty specific sliver they are struggling from. id rather be great in the red zone with a hole passing from the goal line than terrible in the red zone and decent at the 1

it’s the challenge with around the league knowledge being stars and highlight reels. Very good players with those flubs look much worse than they really are compared to peers. we know cooks every miss but only see breece highlights

He will be a very good player for us. Samuel will steal some of the out of the backfield pass catching from him (see deebo)

we use the phrase game of inches all the time but at qb it really comes down to tiny margins on a handful of plays each game. The gap between someone like dak or cousins and say Fitzpatrick isn’t huge and fits to guys that never see the field is a sliver again

Shades of ej and kolb here

roll in injury luck, finding a good situation to grow in, etc… there’s a lot that goes into it beyond just talent and hard work
