I think it's actually pretty simple... we need to be able to attack the QB consistently, a lot of things fall into place after that. . And the season on the whole, all that turnover on defense, significant change on the line with a new LG and C, WR room significant changes... Beane said this was a transition year, I think if Beane spoke honestly, he would say that at the beginning of the season, they weren't expecting the year to go like it did. We were in the AFC championship game against the 2 time, defending champs, in their stadium, had the ball with 3 minutes and 3 timeouts left to win the game. I think a damn good coaching job by McDermott. One wrong call goes our way and we likely win. Yes, the defense needs a lot of work, but leave the coaching staff in place. Brady needs to be better and so does Babich. Give them a legit WR1 and Edge Rusher , and a solid draft, and we should be great next season.

defense wasn't great last season either, which is why there was so much turnover.

Because offense has been our problem all these years?

Not enough talent on defense. Average safety position, Average dline, below average pass rush , linebackers probably pretty solid with a strong line. It's a personnel issue, mostly.

About 6 million. Jones slowed down this season, that hurt. Plus no big pass rusher to replace Floyd. Having a legit pass rusher will make the rest of the defense better.

I just looked on spotrac. His 2025 cap hit is over 23 mil, dead cap 15 mil, post June 1st cut, dead cap 6 mil. So potential to save 17 mil next season of they choose post June 1 If you go to spotrac, manage team, there's great info. It gives you restructuring options as well as releasing implications.

What about dead cap?

I don't think that's correct. With his dead cap, he saves about 9 mil.

Only 9mil? That's a lot. Unless he takes a huge cut, I think he's gone.

It's not like we threw much to any WR. We currently a run first, run often offense.

Don't his coordinators call the plays, come up with the game plan? I know the buck stops with him, but Brady had a crap game. Wasn't prepared for the blitz, wouldn't change the qb sneaks, took Cook out in critical situations...

At the beginning of the season, a lot of smart people thought we may take a step back after all the significant changes on the roster. I felt that way too. I think we should have one, probably would have is not for a number of close calls that didn't go our way. But despite all of that, we had the ball with 3 minutes to go, 3 timeouts left, on the road against 2 time defending champs, where a touchdown would get us to the super bowl. A pretty good season. Maybe McDermott did an amazing job with what he had. Started the season without Milano, 2 safeties that probably weren't expected to start,,Edwards and Bishop were probably the plan. No WR1 , 2 new coordinators. Just a different perspective on the discussion.

I was agreeing with you, just adding some detail.

No, our defense was very good before Von tore up his knee. Crosby would still be a star here.

I doubt any team was intimidated by the thought of facing our defense. Not much of a pass rush, safeties were average at best, not strong on the line, all pressure on the linebackers. We need a restart on defense, Beane needs to make a big move to somehow get a pass rusher.

Love it when someone throws out 'entitled'. When the team and league are not responsible for the health of a player, then I think you'll get your wish. But as long as their is liability on the part of the NFL, they'll make sure that they try to avoid unnecessary brain damage to their employees. Probably not good strategy to have a concussed person playing anyway, but I guess the team feels entitled to field a team giving them the best chance to win.

Other than Taron, not much money spent in the secondary. Milano is the only linebacker making decent money and I think he's worth it. The dline, after we release Von, will be paying two players significant money. Oliver and Groot. We can and need to commit more resources to the defense.

Josh pushed for Dorsey, he pushed for Brady... let's leave Josh out of this. We need a different philosophy on defense, big, strong, not smaller and quick, need to attack the QB. Offense needs tweeking, a couple new WR, little more creativity with play calling.

Are we supposed to donate to Kincaid's charity now?

Brady did poorly today. Taking Cook out in short yardage, not recognizing the defense on the qb sneaks. Nothing new in the offense and wasn't prepared for the blitzing. Easy to defend. Defense needs an overhaul, secondary will have changes, need to improve the line.

I'm not the one that brought it up. Talk to the guy said it.

Is saying mahomes is better than Josh , anti Josh bias? Or only if black players say it.

Robert Griffin III : Josh Allen is INCREDIBLE. Watch his arm, vision and playmaking ability be on full display with this LASER BEAM TD pass to Ty Johnson on 4th and 1. Such disdain for Allen from RG3

Disdain? Because he thinks Mahomes is better than Allen? Give it a shot, I'm sure you can talk about it.

Doesn't he know that everyone is supposed to pick the Bills?
