Beane: “working on at least 2 veteran UFA’s”
NewEra replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
💯 -
Last season, we were injured. The year before, we didn’t have Von Miller. We played KC with Von and he closed them out, wrecking them in the 4th qtr. He obliterated their final 3 drives. KC and Cinci’s pass rushers were healthy. take Chris Jones off the KC D last year and they don’t win the SB. I’m not going to talk about the “playoffs” like they’re all the same. They aren’t. When’s the last time you saw von Miller play in the playoffs for the Bills?
-
Yeah, I watched us beat KC last season, with the same DL we have right now. Did you? I also watched us beat them with Jerry Hughes as our best pass rusher and a green Rousseau.
-
How many proven pass rushers do the bengals and chiefs have? sure, it would be nice…. But I don’t think “need” is the right word. What we need, is to stay healthier

Did you see his injury? It was a bad ankle roll and clearly hampered what he was doing out there. He played through it because he had too. Sorry you didn’t like the whiny look on his face. The kid was playing while in a lot of pain. In the last 2 playoffs Boston is 3-1 in game 7’s. They beat the defending champ bucks in 7. They beat Miami in 7. This year they beat Philly in 7. That’s toughness imo. They lacked a head coach and suffered the only injury that they couldn’t afford. I agree about Brown. They shouldn’t throw him 290M imo. Trade him. He’s great when he’s on. Not good enough of a facilitator to have an impact on O when he’s off. that said, I think they would’ve gotten smacked in 5 vs Denver. Spolestra will have a chance to show the world how good a coach he is (again). If he can find a way to slow Murray down, they might have a shot to win 2 games….. but I think they’ll get swept. Malone has that team rolling. I agree about the Bills. We’re good enough to win the SB as is. Just like we’ve been the last 2 years. I like what Beane did starting the offseason -20M in cap space.

I think they had the toughness. Tatum rolling his ankle 5 minutes into the game was too much to overcome. Jaylen Brown can’t dribble for s*** and he was forced to run the offense with Brogdon also hampered with injuries. Miami is one of the toughest teams in the league and may have the best coach in the league….. while Boston basically had an interim coach with zero experience. I really don’t think toughness is why Boston didn’t win. They won the same game last season.

Hopkins released by Arizona (7/16: signed by Titans)
NewEra replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
I hear ya. I just don’t think it’s gonna happen that way. As in, going all in with a 1 year window. I think Beane has 2-3 years max if he doesn’t win a SB in that time. Same for McD. I see them as a package deal. The pressure is on, but I’m worried that last year really scared them. Huge investments with nothing to show for it. They assembled the best roster the world agreed. Then they broke. There’s a chance it happens again. I really hope we buck up for hopkins, I just think the Jets (or another team not named KC) are going to see this as their chance and bust their nut on him. Some 30M guaranteed over 2 years, 17M per season type deal. I think that’s too steep for Beane -
I’m just giving my opinion on the guy from what I’ve seen. I didn’t mention a ceiling. I think he’s going to be good, but not all pro. I didn’t say he couldn’t be all pro.

Yes, I think we CAN beat them. It’s not something that anyone predict but it’s something that happened every year, usually to every team. Some more. Some less. KC had no injuries that year. It’s rare. I don’t know why everyone is so afraid of them. They’re good. But I’ve watched us play them the last 3 games. Did you? We played them great 3 games in a row. We’re better now than ever imo. Our OL is better. Our playmakers are better. We have some downhill grinder RB plays a big hitter. We have a stud d and now we have mcdermott calling plays think what you want. Be all sad and throw a tantrum if they get hopkins. I love our roster. I’m only worried about Dorsey, but I think he’ll be fine. -

When you say “if KC gets hopkins, it’s a wrap”. That is acting like injuries don’t exist. I didn’t read the rest. My time is too valuble -

NewEra replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Don’t get me wrong, I really hope we can sign him. But I think the thought that going all in will net you a Super Bowl is bs. It can…. But what happens when someone gets hurt? Or multiple people get hurt? Or the opposing coaches in the playoffs devise the perfect game plans to beat you? talent is a big part of winning a Lombardi, but other aspects of the game can overrule talent. Injuries and coaching being the biggest aspects. those that are ok going all in for ONE season better be ready to put a gun to their head if some of those acquisitions get hurt. See Von and Daquan. Plus Hyde and Poyer and Tre and Damar. It’s extremely risky due to so many things possibly going wrong -

This is such a weak thought process. you act as if injuries aren’t part of the NFL. All it takes is a Chris Jones injury. A Kelce injury. A Mahomes injury. A Hopkins injury. An injury or 2 along the OL. Injuries to multiple starters. You know, like us last season. Last I knew, we’ve beaten the chiefs 2 out of 3 times in their house and are on anomaly away fro being 3-0. -
Awesome. Love this move. Not great, but a potential upgrade over Quess which puts more pressure on Brown.

Not for me. My family being comfortable is the most important thing in my life. I turn down more lucrative jobs on the reg. Probably 2-3 jobs a year on average. -

Ok. if making the most money is his desire, Brandon Beane should be out. If giving him a fair deal that will benefit us and give him his best chance at a ring, I’m all for it. I’m not really cool with with extending Dawkins long term. Same with Tre. Dawkins has been slipping. He was awful vs Cinci. Tre…. I won’t be ok extending him until I see him play at a somewhat high level. We haven’t seen that since thanksgiving 2021. If this is true about his agent, the chances are slim. Slim to none imo -

Thanks for sharing this. I didn’t realize til now. Looks like game over from our perspective -

Lol. I think the jets have a shot. Baltimore, Dallas, chargers, Jags and Philly all have over 11M in room right now (from the site I saw anyway). Detroit has 24m+ but then again, we don’t know what matters most to hopkins. To date, he’s shown that money matters most -

I saw it. That’s kicking every possible penny down the road with 5 restructures (dion, Tre, Taron, daquan and Hyde). I don’t see any chance of that happening. You don’t either Edit: apparently, my information is incorrect and we can guarantee him 25m by restructuring Dawkins and Tre. -

I agree with everything you said. Problem for Beane, if we don’t have a Lombardi in 2-3 years there’s a very good chance he won’t be here. If he wins one in the next 2-3 years, he won’t have to worry about long term. He’ll be here for another 5-6 minimum (if he wants to be here). -

I think it’s likely someone offers him a lot more than we do. We aren’t in position to be the highest bidder.
