Pine Barrens Mafia

Good ol Sean

Another thing we agree on

which begs the question: when the same problems bedevil this team in three consecutive seasons, what's the cause?

They sure have a funny way of showing it by having him ride the pine

me too

Season just keeps getting better

I saw it live, in person and from above. Any pressure he felt was imaginary on that play. A throwaway was an EASY answer.

Wow. WOOOOOOW

let's not go full stupid here

yahtzee

Et tu, Rico? t(-.-)t

*face on desk* Your stubborn persistence in rose-colored glasses living has worn down my will to resist.

no doubt, no doubt. I'm not excusing the offense by criticizing the defense. they both sucked. on ice.

Ah, so, maybe spending 5 draft picks and multiple FA signings on the DL was a mistake?

K. Well, sure did a fantastic job against a garbage one-dimensional Jets offense yesterday. Loved that tackling, how about you? Also some fantastic pass-rush-win-rating going on too. We'll see how that defense looks in the postseason. because in reality, that's what matters.

yes. for now.

Doesn't keep them from winning, though, does it? I'll refrain from a trite 13 seconds mention when it comes to the defense.

Thanks for the acknowledgement. The thing that makes it difficult for me is, I live in Eagles country. I see the offense they've built in a couple seasons with a MUCH inferior QB, and I wonder to myself why the Bills couldn't do the same. AJ Brown is a monster opposite Devonta Smith while ALSO building a monster running game AND having a really solid top-to-bottom defense.

agree

And yet, the needle of performance on defense hasn't moved in any significant way. Why is that? Given all the investment, it should be the best of the best, and it's just not.

Mindboggling

Reading is fundamental, RiC. That post was speaking specifically about WR and OL Do try and keep up

A team is, by definition, a collection of players. If the players aren't good enough, then the team isn't good enough. That's the problem I think we're facing with groups like the OL and the WRs. Outside of Diggs, Morse and MAYBE Dawkins, the rest just aren't good enough. At this point, I think we're talking past each other. I agree that they've absolutely sucked at building an OL, and may even be worse with evaluating receivers. And how the HELL did you remember Jamil Douglas being on the team?

Ok, guy. So then you tell me who else is irreplaceable on the team outside of those two. Who else's loss would sink the season?
