Yep, they have been too talented to be in position to draft a QB early. The tried the "draft one in the middle of the first" approach and that failed. I think they are about the take themselves out of the "too talented to tank" conversation anyway. Heyward is on his last legs, TJ Watt is a banged up declining force, Ramsey is a short term gun for hire, Pickens is gone, Metcalf's limitations are clear and their Quarterback is 104. They have a couple of nice young players, Frazier at center, Herbig at edge and Porter at corner but they are not going to be enough to stop a team being bad over the course of a season.

That opening day loss to them still stings. We were ahead and sort of sleepwalking and then suddenly a blocked punt and we are behind and never really got ourselves going again.

Can they? Yes. Will they? I don't think so. Still too many holes/weaknesses on the roster. Defensive tackle, linebacker, safety, currently offensive tackle and most obviously wide receiver. I seem them following what I am going to call the McDermott seesaw: 2020 - 13 wins 2021 - 11 wins 2022 - 13 wins 2023 - 11 wins 2024 - 13 wins 2025 - (pending) 11 wins

Yep. The wildcards are LAC, Buffalo and Houston. There was always to me an element of freakishness about the Colts. Never gonna last. The only route in for the AFC North is to win that division. No wildcard from there is making it. So if Pittsbugh crash Baltimore gets in. It makes no odds to KC and Houston. KC has to win out. With 4 AFC losses already and a H2H loss to the only other potential wild card team who even have 3 (Buffalo) there is no route in for them at 10-7. They have to run the table and be 11-6. I don't see that.

Josh Cook Bosa Benford Thompson And (this will not be popular but is correct....) Joe Brady.

The play calling LAST week was terrible. Way too pass heavy in a game they couldn't pass protect. That has nothing to do with today.

They are calling them, particularly on play action. Josh keeps coming off them and going underneath because nobody is open.

I think we have different understandings of what we have watched.

Take a shot to who? We don't have the horses. It is very clear. The receivers suck. Period.

Yea, I give you that. They had 3 backups in their secondary. But that is very much the exception.

Yes. Brady has called an excellent game.

Yep. They just confirmed it.

This is the offense we have to be folks. Even when our tackles are back. I know it sucks having Josh and having to be a run team. It does. But blame Brandon Beane for that. He is the one who built this receiving corps and then doubled down on it publicly. It isn't the coaches or Josh. These receivers are who we have. Every time this year we try and go pass heavy it is a disaster. We have to run the damn ball.

Just look at the spacing. He is hakf covering the outside guy (think it was Coleman. Suggests one of them has got timing wrong and based on where Josh threw it I think it was Shakir.

Boooom.

That should have been a touchdown. Good pass from Josh. Shakir's timing was off.

I think they are calling it really well. For a team with no receivers and two backup tackles!

Romo: "That's supposed to be open" Let me introduce you to Keon Coleman.

Brave call. I'd have just kept totting up points.

Kick this

Okay get the run game going.

Watch the fake here. This is classic Steelers fake.

I'm on UK time. 'Merica slow on the uptake again? 😜

Prater has to go.

That was all about Josh Allen.
