Chiefs beating Bengals is the other one

We got a fifth back too, was basically a trade down!

Likely games are Buf @ miami, Pit @ Baltimore, and Rams @ 49ers depending on how this week shakes out. If Miami loses to Baltimore and Bills beat Pats I think it will be us. If Miami wins I think it will be rams/49ers

If the Dolphins beat the Ravens and clinch the East and the Bengals and Steelers lose (or some other clinching combinations), I’ve been thinking the same thing. Let the team take the week off and play backups in Miami. The Bye week did wonders for this team. I think we probably still have a reason to be playing tho to clinch or for seeding

Is Justin Herbert actually MVP?

I wasn’t watching and had to turn this on. Goooood stuff

the Chiefs always give him and our receivers problems because they hold them all game and hit them hard when they get the ball.

GO BILLS, still alive!!

That wasn’t a catch but not surprised

2010 Chargers had the top ranked offense and defense and missed the playoffs!

B/R shut down there longform Mag Dunne was apart of. When it shut down, Dunne decided to go independent.

See I knew this was made up…we all know McDermott doesn’t care about the OL. In all seriousness, I’m sure some of the article has truth to it, some is likely embellished or fabricated by his sources. In the end it’ll be the same, those that don’t like McD will hold it as proof and those who do will dispute things. He had a big damning article about Aaron Rodgers a few years ago too which followed a similar mold. I won’t be reading it myself. McD has fired two offensive coordinators and supposedly the other, Daboll, hated McD by the end of it. Frazier decided to leave and McD didn’t have anyone he wanted to fill that roll. That to me does seem like someone who is probably difficult to work with and it will probably be his downfall…Stories making him sound like a lunatic tho for $8, nah I’m good.

I’m in the camp of moving off McDermott would be for the best. But it is undeniable he has been a successful coach for us and I understand giving him time to get back on track. Let’s hope the security comes with the caveat that we hire a defensive coordinator, retain Joe Brady assuming the production continues for the rest of the year, and that most the premium free agent and draft resources are given to the offense to build around Josh

Screw these terrible refs, runs in the Hochuli family

it’s a little skewed because Cook has played one more game than most since most teams have had their bye week by this point. But still Cook has been a very good runner for us.

I agree that McDermott most likely is back next year. I’m not sure which offensive coordinator they could bring in that would be exciting, especially if McD has started to get a reputation (fired Rick Dennison after 1 year, rumors that Daboll hated him by the end of his tenure, Dorsey not making it two full seasons). I do think that McD needs a DC tho. He is a good DC, but at least part of the game mismanagement this year I think is from him trying to hold both HC and DC responsibilities.

I’m surprised it wasn’t him getting OC too since McD is very familiar with him. Though aside from Cam’s psycho 2015 season where the offense was ranked first in points for, he never had another top 10 offense in 10 other seasons as an NFL OC. I’m not sure Brady is going to be too successful bc he was bad with Carolina but maybe he has untapped potential. His LSU offense was amazing but it had Joe Burrow and the two best receivers in the NFL (Chase and Jefferson) so that made life much easier lol

It’s the only real move they had. Give Joe Brady an audition to see if he can save the train wreck. Hopefully Pegula is up for big changes this offseason if the season continues it’s descent into the toilet

Long term that would be the best option. But Josh currently has the longest active starts record for a QB and the Bills are technically still mathematically alive for the playoffs. So they won’t make any moves like that. They may still continue to lose though. What a crazy year.

Cardinals

Predicting coordinators is hard but I’ll give it a shot Potential hires for OC: Kevin Patullo - Eagles passing game coordinator since 2021. Had a stint from 2010-12 with the Bills. Byron Leftwich - obviously won a Super Bowl with Brady and the Bucs. It was a surprise when Bowles got the HC position over him. DC I think Bobby Babich is probably the most likely person to fill that spot. His position groups have been very good while he was here.

He is more a Patriot type with the sign stealing and recruiting violations

I’m not one to normally overact or call for a shakeup, but I think it is time to move on. It should be immediate to let Joe Brady audition for the position ROS to see if he has anything there after a great season coordinating LSU and a bad season with the a panthers. But it will likey be after the season that Dorsey is gone.

The Star contract still might be the worst contract he ever gave out. He hasn’t drafted any DTs since Ed in 2019 which means he has brought in a lot of FAs to fill those spots.
