K-9

I have one nitpick and it’s not about the play calling. It’s about clock management. He needs to be in Allen’s ear about taking maximum time off the clock when it suits our purpose. Saw precious little of that in the third quarter. Was much better in the fourth, but we gave the Vikings three minutes of extra time in the third by not milking the clock. Coaches like Belichick manage the clock with leads as early as the first quarter just for comparison sake. That said, great job of play calling. Too bad Josh was hurt by some key drops, too.

I’m also giving one to the punter. 43 yard average, great hang time, with 5 out of 6 inside the twenty with a couple that really pinned them back. Very nice. Schmidt would have put most of them in the end zone.

That really sucks. Feel bad for the guy.

He’s in his van heading for the river.

I was gonna put in parenthesis, "other than Peterman", but it seemed so cruel. But I thought, "What if Nathan's mom reads this forum?" You, on the other hand, are a cold blooded poster that takes no prisoners.

Sack.

Oh no! Who's our disaster QB?

Is there a chance one of us is taking this exchange much more seriously than the other?

What was his wonderlic? But smart of not, he's only as good as the people he has running and playing in his organization. Still, it makes me wonder what kind of owner Einstein would have been. I'm thinking meddler. Like, to an atomic degree.

I don’t know. When I look at his haircut, I doubt Mark Davis is capable of regretting anything.

They’ll be wearing the brown pants by halftime.

These are a better investment.

It’s a player’s league. Always has been, always will be.

Then you chalk it up and move on to the next guy. That’s not obvious?

I understand the point about class and it’s a good one. But several players are going through the motions and look disinterested, too. It’s a challenge for coaches to coach with big leads or when behind by big deficits. And I’ve never liked the concept of being able to turn it on when you want to, either. As competitors, it always has to be on.

Yeah and that is concerning. Ahead or behind, players that are disinterested is never a good thing.

Are you saying, that after 1.5 games, if he can’t read a defense, he will never learn?

State wrestling champ? That’s all McDermott needs to hear.

He was with the Bills from their inception through the late 70s in a variety of roles, including being named GM in '67. Him and coach Harvey Johnson oversaw a cluster-F of football along the way and established a record of ineptitude unsurpassed since. And that's saying something when you consider the sheer amount of ineptitude by OTHER football administrations over the years.

Hue is just messing with people. Baker is his QB. Everybody knows that.

Might wanna explore some layoff options at the half.

I agree with your premise that it’s too soon to say who is or who isn’t involved and I found it ironic that the principals involved have no problem saying who is and who isn’t. Just a general comment on the court of public opinion and the campaigns waged by both sides to influence that. I guess I wasn’t clear enough. Sorry for any confusion.

Well then, it’s obvious McCown failed him last year as well. Mayfied’s debut reminded me of Marino’s in terms of his command; very impressive. Good time to be a Browns fan. I like Allen, too.

So when is it ok to question the mentor? I mean Darnold really struggled last night. Where was McCown? I put a lot of it on him for not mentoring well enough.

All right! It’s never too early for a little Risto vs. Kadri. EDIT: check that. Apparently the rumors of Risto being in the lineup tonight were incorrect.
