There also isn’t some loud contingent saying Beane should be fired. Beane is considered a good to very good GM. He has his share of blunders, as has every GM ever. He’s good. I think he’s done enough with the roster over the years to win a SB. Unfortunately, injuries happen and we’ll never know if his plan would’ve worked if one or two key players had been healthy. Take away Vons injury and Benford missing the last 2 KC playoff games and we’d have one imo. Too bad that’s just make believe

Shaq Lawson will be starting!!

I agree with most of this and until we know what conversations Beane had (or didn’t have) we can’t lay definitive fault. the last paragraph i disagree with though. Maybe I’m just a pessimist regarding injuries (I definitely am) but there’s a chance that Ingram would’ve played some meaningful snaps on D, along with STs. dane or couch seem to be next man up. Not sure if either can play dime safety.

And he’s always one inevitable injury away from getting snaps at dime safety. I hope this doesn’t come into play come playoffs.

Yeah he really screwed that one up…. Unless he did his due diligence and was told that he would join the bills, only to have them change their minds after the fact.

Texans got it. we lost. This is a major blunder

Yup. Strategy and play callers are very capable of winning games. Tis the game for our coaches to make some rethink. Or it could be the game where some jump off the edge! Either way, I’m here for it

We are 16th in pressure and 18th in sacks. You can make your point without lying. yes, our pass rush isn’t very good. It’s not at the bottom of the league

Possible, but unlikely

McDermott is a good coach…there are plenty of people we could hire that would be worse.

It’s going to get even better when an afc team claims Ingram. Especially when it’s NE 🤣 this really sucks

It’ll be tough for sure, but the odds of that happening aren’t nearly as difficult as people are saying

Look at baltimores schedule. The Steelers suck. Cinci has to beat buffalo and Baltimore and then they play Miami, Arizona and Cleveland. If they win the first 2 which is certainly possible, they’ll most likely end up 9-8 The ravens have to play Pittsburgh twice, @ Cinci, vs NE and @GB. if Cinci wins out, Baltimore is out even if they sweep the Steelers and beat either of the pats or packers while losing the other and vs Cinci. Joe burrow has won 10 of his last 11 games in December. Theres a MUCH greater chance of that happening than there is Josh getting benched. hopefully we can end their season on Sunday so we don’t have to worry about it.

I agree. That’s the 2nd reason I didn’t want him in the draft (broken neck and being told he’d never play again being the first).

They wouldn’t be moving Harmon. So Metcalf is the only guy. I don’t think he’s worth the contract, but sometimes you can’t get everything you want. I doubt he’s gotten worse as a WR. Arthur Smith is his OC and his QB is washed.

This is where the value lies. I’d rather have him than Ingram. Good chance that Benford, Tre or Hairston miss the playoffs. Possibly 2 of them. Didn’t like it initially but he might be better than Ingram

Good luck Jamarcus, would love to have you back on the PS

Benford had a tough first half but has played well in more than just last game. The only worry about him is being healthy imo. I don’t see the point in slay unless he’s better than Tre. Not sure that’s the case though. Whose spot does he take? Ingram I suppose

Mahomes and WORTHY? You think worthy is a bold move that has paid off in a big way? I don’t. He’s meh. They’ve made other bold moves, signing thuney, frank Clark, Orlando brown, trading up for Trent, jawaan taylor, Kadarious Toney, 3 semi bold moves in Hollywood, Matthieu and Justin Reid. Over the last 8-9 seasons, I don’t think that’s being very bold. Pretty on par for the course imo. We’ve made more bold moves than them imo. Ours just get injured or don’t live up to expectations. worthy…. lol. Yeah and Josh was pitiful throwing short to his left yesterday. Kind of embarrassingly pitiful.

He was open for one reason and one reason only. Jalen Ramsey overreacted to Josh taking 1 step towards the line of scrimmage. Looked to me like that step baited Ramsey into selling out to stop him vacating his area of responsibility, leaving Keon wide. Ramsey should’ve stayed put and let the trailing DBs attack Josh. Easy 6.

For sure. I’m still holding out hope that they give Palmer some more looks as I think he’s much better at winning over Gabe and Keon. Kincaids health is paramount. I think our season will end if he misses any game beyond the WC round (and maybe in the WC round). He’s 💯 the key to our passing offense

I think the #1 key will be coaching/gameplan i think the #2 key will be health I think the #3 key will be turnovers

I think the d is middle of the pack. If we had Ed and Hoecht, I think we’d be top 8ish. we’re currently 2nd to last in epa vs the run and 4th best against the pass. Given up the most rushing TD while tied for 2nd least. Passing TDs. Our sack % is actually 12th and ahead of the Rams, which shocked me. I love watching their defense.

Oh yeah for sure. Losing to Penix, Mills, Tua is an abomination. In our 4 losses, we had 3 turnovers in 3 of them. 2 turnovers in the other. We beat ourselves equally to our opponents beating us

It depends how your tiers are set up. I have 3. Studs- solid starters- guys you don’t want starting. Tua land lands around 18-22 for me. The other guys are defiantly in the 20+. That’s bottom tier for me. Andy Dalton isn’t bottom tier at the moment? LOL.
