Corbin Laconia…..had me pissing my pants

that’s a fair assessment-. I guess I just think rapp has been one of our better defenders this season and has earned another year. I can’t imagine Bishop being much better than Rapp has been this year and I don’t think they’ll sign a FA that’s better than Rapp. But you could be right. You hate McDermott, so I understand why you feel this way. I also think that you feel this way because you hate McDermott. While the fans may be a small piece to the puzzle, I think it’s just that- one of many reasons to bring him back

Maybe they will be good again? I think the reasons others think they are on an upswing is because they think the current positives outweigh past seasons. I agree with them. Idk if they’ll be a national powerhouse like they used to be, I doubt they will reach that level, they were on the mountaintop for a bit imo)…. But I do think they will be a perennially ranked team that will considered MUCH better than everything post solich

Yeah- he was the first guy that I thought of. Mr reliable. Mr Gets ish done. Kind of reminds me of Fred Jackson in that way. that said- he doesn’t have much experience returning punts. I think he had like 2 or 3 in college and has had zero as a pro. I don’t think he’s the guy based on that. It would be a reckless decision imo

Drafting another safety? Do you think Cole bishops career is over after one season? Rapp is under contract for 2 more years. Bishop for 3. While I think bishop and Rapp are similar and both best at SS, I also think that mcd wanted them to be similar, not to back one each other up, but to start next to each other. sure, we’ll probably draft a depth S. I’d highly doubt any safety we’d draft next year would be in the running to start unless he was another Christian Benford. A late round flyer that turned out to be a gem, rather than a higher pick selected to start.

So you think it was done for publicity? Not to get him in the DB room and help the DBs; to be a great locker room presence; to possibly get him a ring; to be last resort depth? No? It was done as a publicity stunt….. man, that’s just stupid

Ahh ok. I must’ve misread. I thought class was happening during the game

I hope you’re right. I just keep replaying that Ravens game in my head and how they manufactured pressure, not with talent, but with scheme and confusion. That’s what Joseph has done a great job with this season and they have multiple guys that can get after the QB

That’s brutal- I’m not the man you are- I’d call out 💯

Just seeing this now- that sucks. Probably won’t pan out, but I loved watching him play at Georgia.

🤣 I was just about to call him “The Klopf 2.0”

I’m not saying I think he WOULD be fired. I think he SHOULD be fired if we lose on Sunday.

This is a “saga” 10 years later? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️

I agree….but a loss on Sunday and I’d fire him and get an offensive guy so Josh doesn’t have to deal with a new OC every 1-2 years. we’re supposed to be getting better year after year and we are getting worse if we lose on Sunday- no way that a defensive HC with the best QB on the planet lose to a WC team led by a rookie QB that has beaten one decent team all season. I’m a fan of McD, but a loss Sunday and he needs to go

If we lose to Denver, Ben Johnson better be the HC in Buffalo

Yeah Allen is tough too. As is Cooper. It’s a solid front and Joseph has been excellent on coordinating pressure all season. but our Allen is better- hopefully the OL can play like they have all season

He’s not, but he’s on his way. His next contract will probably be 22M+ aav

Yeah- the game will be won up front- whomever controls the LoS wins imo. Denver hasn’t run the ball all that often this season but I suspect they’ll be trying to run more on Sunday. Hopefully we don’t let them show any semblance of a run game early on and our DL can pin their ears back.

I believe this is the key matchup in the game. Bonitto, a young, hungry and explosive pass rusher that is looking for his moment to show the world who he is vs our venerable one, Mr Dawkins. He’s a stud and probably my favorite non Bill in the NFL atm. He has enough speed to stick with Josh and make him throw the ball earlier than he’d like to. Josh thrives on extending the play longer than most QBs ever. He’ll probably need to do that on Sunday. The only way I see them winning is by causing a ruckus and getting to Josh. Making him uncomfortable early and often. Bonitto is a guy with the ability to force Josh into making bad decisions. Time for The Schnowwwwwman to make sure that doesn’t happen. ⛄️ we need it

Sitting on his shoulders for an hour as he signed autographs @fredonia is one of my greatest memories. That’s my guy

I hope you’re right

How much do you think it’ll cost?

Yeah I wasn’t impressed at all. Sadly

That’s good news. I hadn’t noticed. Thanks

Yeah, that’s my dream scenario as well, I’m just not sold that it’s something we’d switch to unless we’ve been scheming it throughout the season. Maybe it’s the ultimate rope a dope, but I don’t think it’s in the cards
