the idea was we’d be all in as favorites for 2-3 years before paying the piper on him. Just dumb luck on the majors injury unfortunately.

he does have 7 receiving tds in this his 7th year while he has shown to be a competent pass catcher Im not sure he’s breaking off a ton of catches down the field for tds

I think that the players being off team McD would be influential and also the media could cause shame if the proper storylines catch hold - we will see

floyd is already 31 - so I think of the hot free agency names he will again be a second tier mercenary on a short contract Aje will be a young guy entering his prime years. While less productive- less mileage too. I suspect their annual value will be closer than expected with aje getting more years

As historically bad as your takes have been it’s fantastic that you keep making up certainties based solely on your own gut.

it was the key thing as it was the one closest to being completed they always have post game press access - just rarely is it interesting enough to report on

if he doesn’t trust his franchise qb on that level then he should resign. Sure there’s a possibility a ball bounces off Gabe’s hands but otherwise coaching your qb to simply turtle on a bad snap, or if the line collapses shouldn’t be any type of feat. Thinking he can’t achieve that is saying you don’t believe he is an effective coach.

Yes, a fumble should be near impossible if you coach your team effectively in that situation. This wasn’t coming from behind desperation, it was put pressure on the defense while taking zero risks

yea made no sense. I think the decision was made before the situation actually presented itself - let them rush an insane kick like that

yea, it’s ugly and not something I like advocating but until the rule changes it’s essentially the only way to stop the points. They still convert any short yardage around the field but it’d come off the board quickly with a couple more hits like phillips laid

On the goal line how the 1 yards gained matters little. May as well see if they drop the ball on the fake/pass. Mid field you are relatively correct though. especially at the goal line. Go ahead and give me half the distance for them to think twice on the call

the timeout aside…. Make the db read a play, not slip on a wet field and make a clean penalty free tackle you have the advantage of being able to be very safe in your execution. Make it your safest call possible and let the players play It’s weird that a large group on the internet is not always in consensus. that said, I think it was the 2-3 plays before the throw leaving us in a no man’s land where they couldn’t reach the end zone as the actual complaint from the wide majority, if you are trying to be honest

what about getting the ball 20 yards to toss a Hail Mary?

meh. I dont worry much about the fans killing me if I trust my guys and have properly coached them Tell Josh to be incredibly safe and then make the eagles execute properly. put another way- you know with us having 1 timeout that the eagles will be guarding the boundary and deep ball. Don’t let them get in range in one play, and don’t let them get out for a second play. 20 yard seam to Kincaid and if there’s a face mask or some penalty you are on the edge of a deep kick, if it goes boringly and you burn the timeout you have a Hail Mary and again force the eagles to execute. Josh feels any rush, just turtle and protect the ball. we keep talking about the 40 yards to get a kick but what about the very manageable throw or two to get 20 to put a ball in the end zone? make the eagles play on their heels and not mess up

it’s almost like slay knew the read for gabe would be inside there too so the all pro db, romo, Allen and most of the board seem to think Gabe’s route on the safety blitz would be inside, right?

in this case, I use the terminology loosely for ease of typing and communicating concepts. He almost certainly needed to read the blitz and vacated center of the field. It would be surprising if he got that one right

it was legitimately one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen. Not just a bad call or two but systematically awful the whole way. he was trying hard to smooth it out without looking dumb himself but there were just so many blatant bad calls that it was a struggle

those can both be major issues

Why do Brady and the head coach both go for that?

you can fix the defense for 10 years - he doesn’t trust the offense and the offense doesn’t trust him. It’s done.

If we stay put it’s almost certainly 3 more sooooo sometimes you have to leave the bad relationship without knowing who your next gf is going to be simply because you know your current isn’t it

I’ve got news: even more exhausting is having the wrong coach waste years.

brady got a bit tarnished in his last stop but not long ago he was very much in the list of innovative young guys. he’s not top of the list but he’s worth discussion probably. That he’s in house already might be his biggest knock if trying to turn the page cleanly but I’d have to wrestle with that a bit

I won’t say they are my top three but each have interesting pedigrees to add to the traditional list. Waldron is an interesting candidate having turned around geno, and having background with Mcvay and bill b. Seems to have some nifty scheme wrinkles in recaps I see about Seattle. I don’t watch a ton of their games but enough to be curious Not enough

the only way we can promise our coach doesn’t have that ability is standing pat. will the next guy be better? Maybe. And that’s all that matters until we find the right one.
