90 might be stretching it imo Only 3 guys went over 90 catches last season and I'm thinking we pass less than before

Yes

'stepping up in the postseason' is not the purview of the GM The fact that these otherwise very talented players cannot get it done in the playoffs is not a referendum on the GM Oliver is a top 5ish DT. Milano a top 3 LB at his spot, ditto Taron Johnson. There is plenty of talent.

How is it a valid criticism of Beane that Oliver disappears in the playoffs?

Yes His last healthy season he was first team All Pro Taron Johnson is also a top 100 NFL player

McDermott and Dunne sat down and spoke at the combine

Atrium? As in singular?

Anything under 100ft is a rowboat peasant

😂😂Nobody calls the regular season 'the season' Did the Chiefs 2024 season end at 17 games? Did the Bills? If I had meant regular season I would have said that

Yawn Maybe go back and actually read the conversation you decided to jump into...the concept of 50+TDs was brought up by someone else Very clearly referencing the entire season not just the regular season

god mode no damar hamlin

US has a chance to advance for sure Would say they are definitely second best in group behind Uruguay Argentina/Brazil obviously favorites, Uruguay likely third and behind those three there is a significant gap imo losing Dest was huge for the US imo, he has been consistently their best player in international play

Is there any other team in the league that has such divergent regular season/postseason results? And we want to chalk that up to a lack of talent of all things?

I'm well aware that was what I said, if you think that's inconsistent enough to discredit the argument then so be it. Defense can play poorly for stretches of a particular season and still be SB quality overall in my eyes. As far as the 2024 team goes yes I think it's a weak roster. But the OP was talking about the course of several seasons if im not mistaken. There is no need to pretend we haven't had enough talent to perform at championship level on at least one side of the ball the last 4years

Pathetic

wrong he's done it three out of the four last seasons

So we agree, then, that QB and offense by extension has produced at a SB level in the regular season and postseason generally speaking The defense meanwhile has produced at a SB level in the regular season and a bottom of the league level in the playoffs. So forgive me for believing the delta between what we might reasonably expect the offense to produce having Allen v Cousins is insignificant compared to what we might expect our postseason experiences to diverge if we got even NFL average play out of the defense Which you seem to want to lay at Beane's feet for a lack of talent...it's just refusing to see the problem for what it is imo. Despite what @CincyBillsFanreads into this it's not a knock on Allen at all to suggest our playoff results wouldn't be dramatically different w Cousins. We'd still end up losing, just by more points

This isn't exactly meant to knock Rousseau but it won't be difficult to replace a guy who plays about 60% of snaps at DE, sets the edge well and contributes 5 and a half sacks/year

I addressed the lack of offensive talent earlier The point is- you should be able to win more games without having to put up 50TDs/year. I don't think the difference in QB play would have a dramatic effect on our fortunes, particularly in the playoffs. Right now Allen gives you Super Bowl level production that translates to divisional round exits. Cousins gives you divisional round play already.

I mean that's kind of the issue in a nutshell isn't it We have a Josh Allen talent and a Kirk Cousins ceiling

It's been very en vogue this off-season to act like Beane hasnt been supplying the team w enough talent...which clearly hasn't been the case as illustrated by our record in the regular season. He has neglected certain areas like WR sure...but to pretend a dearth of talent is the reason we haven't sniffed a Super Bowl yet is revisionist history The reality is we'd still win the AFCE and probably scrape a couple wildcard wins together w Cousins ie basically very similar to what we've been doing, just w a lower point differential and playoff ceiling

You are dramatically understating how cushy the AFCE has been recently Side note- how many people saying we'd be bad w cousins also voted that we have a top 1-4 team this year😂😂

Correct imo Like the Chiefs w Alex Smith vs Mahomes

Trent Sherfield had a whopping 1 TD last year and guess who it was against Coaches going out of their way to get former players the ball against their old team is a real thing
