It's crazy what a couple of weeks can do to a fanbase. Three weeks ago they were convinced they'd crush us. Now half the fans want to fire Reid and the other half are claiming Mahomes is washed!

We essentially ended Duck Hodges' professional football career that night.

I like Shavers and have beaten the drum for him since his signing, but some of the fanbase (especially on social media) is fast approaching drought-era levels of hopium with this kid. I see a good special teams guy and a potentially solid number 4/5 type. Outside of this week it's not as if he's getting consistently open and he's nothing special with the ball in his hands. He looks like a 35 catch, 500 yard type, but maybe I'm wrong and he surprises.

Shavers more reminds me of other big bodied ST journeyman types like Andre Holmes or Mack Hollins.

I honestly feel no better or worse facing Mills. If we play undisciplined like we did against Pats, Falcons and Phins, we will lose - hell, maybe even get blown out.

Lol. Don't think he belongs on the WOF yet, but he's showed some nice things when given an opportunity. I noticed he ran a slick little route against Miami last week too on the end zone interception. It was just a bad ball by Allen.

I wonder if any of the veteran receivers have tried to take him in under their wings? Seems like an immature, disorganized mess right now in need of a stern mentor type that can keep him in line. Kind of a bummer if we don't have anyone in his position group keeping an eye on him.

I'm with you. Clearly, he's on everyone's sh*tlist - coaches, players, fans - at the moment, but an injury or two and we will end up desperately needing something from him. I don't have much faith right now, but I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best until we are able to move him in the offseason.

Prescient of him to pick 0 as his number. Or maybe was trying to tell us.

If true, what an enormous whiff by Beane. Basically set the offense back a year.

Looks like a high character guy.

Clearly, quite the opposite. He hasn't been paying for TBD TSW+ service. My threads are never deleted (but no one responds to them either).

The remaining schedule does not give me the warm and fuzzies. Maybe I'm insane, but I can see 9-8 as a real possibility. I'm willing to pencil in the Browns and Jets as wins (should I even do that after yesterday???), but beyond that I can see the rest of those games going either way. Does 9-8 get us into the playoffs?

The offense was a dud in the playoff games against the Ravens (defense won that) and the first Chiefs playoff loss. He was at the helm for the Pats/Chiefs combo in 2021, sure, but we had some good offensive playoff performances under Brady too. Our current sense of desperation is sure bringing out the rose colored glasses. Seems we've completely forgotten beauties like this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401326456/bills-jaguars.

I mean, we had a prime Diggs, Beasley, Brown, Emanual Sanders, a productive young Gabe Davis paired with an emergent Josh Allen. He wouldn't have nearly the same type of toys today.
