I think the Eagles D and 49ers D have proven to have the same exact concerns stopping Mahomes and KC this year for example. Are you saying there is some defensive approach or alternative that ANY team can take in facing those elite offenses? I don't think it has anything to do with Edmunds when it comes to facing those type of offenses. All the D schemes and approaches out there seem to get beat just as easily. With that said I think it comes down to if Edmunds will accept a Mosley-esque type contract or a long extended contract as you mentioned or not. The Roquan contract would obviously be too much for the production.

What defenses do well against the great offenses with any consistency in this era? (Its a trick question)

Against great Qb's and/or offenses, you are correct... Defense does not matter like it used to. It still helps get you to 12/13/14 wins in the regular season however.

I'm with you, but there were a bunch of them tweaking out in the "josh is playing golf" thread from last week 😃

More like nothing to see here. Bunch of unfounded speculation and folks with too much time on their hands. But I realize that’s what we do here.

Jalin Hyatt is who I'd take in your scenario here at pick 27. I agree with the positions you took though. Thanks

I expect a good percentage of Bills fans to be "challenged" if you will 😂. I did NOT expect that Joe Burrow was possibly this ignorant, unless he is just playing along or something.

You'd think at least someone like Joe Burrow (forget about the moron level intellect of guys like Apple and Mixon) would understand this was the case for all the teams with a possibility of hosting playoff games the following week... Nope! Football intelligence certainly does not equal actual intelligence

change the word "the" to "a" in the thread title and you have full accuracy.

No. He said today that would not be required and then Coach McD responded in his own conference saying he assumed the same since he had not heard anything different from the team doc.

Teammates often spoke of Moulds having legendary basketball skills, so that makes sense.

Being off some of the teams draft boards is part of what allowed him to fall to where we picked, so it depends how you look at it. Then he got onto a team with a head coach that, at the time, refused to play rookies, which also hindered the rate of his development as a pro to a degree (he wasn't mentally ready right away either, as noted by some missed assignments early on that drew Kelly's ire). in 1998 (gotta at least have competent quarterbacking too, not 1997 Collins) he put it all together and turned into what he was, one of the greatest Bills receivers of all time. Clearly, he was a far superior player to all the other mentioned WR's except for Harrison from his class. Loved the guy. It sucks that he had off the field issues for sure.

Way too much PTSD here from the drought. TB is a shell of his former self. Still very good at the 2 minute drill and that's where it ends. Bring it on!

CB is quick-witted (although once in a while sometimes a little "dad jokey"), knows the players and the schemes and concepts the team uses in high detail, knows the NFL rules at a very high level and has a lot of passion for the game. I really like him in that spot. Wishing Murph to have a full recovery. His successor is here I think though.

Condolences to you and don't worry one bit about how your post looks. In honors her in your way.

Not only would I take it, Its the most preferred option I could possibly think of. Seriously with this? Nothing would make the season more complete.

Yes, yes you have... You've seen many worse tackling teams this season alone! https://www.pff.com/news/sig-stats-tackling-efficiency-by-team

bet you, ... money (100). Right, yes, I think he will take less (or a longer term) to stay here and remain a cornerstone of this team.

that was 18-25 1 TD, 154 Yards, and 0 INT

Fair point Simon. I wouldn't totally agree that they dominated both sides of the ball THROUGHOUT the game, but certainly I agree that they did early on and at various points in the game. I think our defensive scheme to take away the middle of the field led to part of the issues you mention. I also feel like we were able to run at them at key moments (from a keep the chains moving perspective), and elminate guys like Chubb in pass protection. Cover1 has some good reviews of the film from that game. Josh certainly was the biggest factor late.

If Tua HAD played in this game it could have been competitive, but (and this is for the thousands of clowns over at Finheaven or wtvr it's called, who have little to no understanding of the actual game of football and seemingly never will) make no mistake, Tua is a limited QB who, when healthy, CANNOT consistently hit the outside throws (mid to deep outs, etc.) without absolutely perfect timing in a clean pocket. He just can't. And his incredibly speedy receivers are often sitting and waiting on his deep throws. Teams have been taking away his bread and butter (the middle of the field, crossers) for what 6 weeks now? That's the real him. Limited. He is not an elite QB and never will be. Plus he gets rag dolled out there far too often. Could they win in the playoffs with him in the future? Sure, but its going to take flawless execution by the team. With that said, Tua is a great person and a good player, and I am so glad his team finally is taking the correct approach with him and showing some level of care for his health.

They all have their roles, and different advantages vs. specific defenses. Why is it all or nothing with most of you? (and on the internet in general)

Hyde back practicing AND Damar released from hospital means that MANY of our guesses as to what this "news" Croom predicted would be correct!
