Joe B said brady actually called less protection against the texans than average...

I know coach speak is just that and he's said it multiple times before and then the next week that player or coach was gone. still this worries me. Everthing you said about Brady is dead on. The route concepts..the nuances that go into the qb/wr realationship, the nuances of routes and how to stack plays and concepts. I dont think your just going to adjust and suddenly find that knowledge. You might adjust your play calling but the nuances and understanding of how everything needs to work together is completely different.

I dont totally buy into this. All ive ever heard from Mcdermott is he wants to be able to run the ball...thats a no brainer. Mcdermott was fine with Daboll for years until we were calling 30 pass plays in a row. Ken Dorsey was brought in and had no idea what to do, at that time again McD reiterated we had to be to run the ball...again a brainer. He moves Brady up hoping that maybe he can put together a balanced offense. When brady was at LSU they passed a lot, but then brady wasnt the play caller but McD must have hoped that some of that might have rubbed off on him. McD has said over and over u need a balanced offense. I think the hope behind both brady and dorsey was we could keep most of the present concepts and hit the ground running rather than bringing in an entirely new offense. in hindsight that set us back i believe.

Amazing how regardless of what free agent is brought in there they suddenly cant run routes or get open. If i was a free agent right now no way in hell would i come to buffalo. watch the video and tell me how many times palmer caught the ball that would be considered "covered' by buffalo standards. cant tell me in one year that Palmer forgot how to play football or run routes or how to catch the ball.

In the very beginning McDermott said he and Beane would both answer to pegula seperately. I know McDermott brought in Beane but for the most part I dont think that McDermott is controlling who Beane drafts. Its not his job to micro manage every body on that team. Beane was hired as a General Manager and its his job to do that, and regardless of who initially hired him he is still fullfilling the guidelines of that position. I'm sure Mcdermott would love another Luke Kuechly. But i do agree that here is a similair mindset in the type of players they are drafting. Its hard to judge Mcdermotts defense with the players he has because when he had better players it was a great D. outside of playoffs and a lot of times that was due to injuries..(not all). The biggest downfall I find with Mcdermott is he initially brought in beane and he hired both Brady and the wierdo before him. In my mind Beane has been is biggest undoing. part of that may be horrible luck on Beanes part that no matter who he brings in they get injured. On the D side part of that is his fault expecting smaller players to hold up all season long. I think if Mcdermott was gone the biggest thing i would miss is the cohesion of the players.. and we dont really get the whole getto gangsta players. but i would like to see players with more of an edge to them sooo....

your still alive..take it for what its worth. we still have a team. at one point that was a ? mark

well his initials say he's virtually pretty good

where are all the quick come back routes ? just run out plant your foot and do a quick 180 come back 2 yards and catch the ball. you dont have to be super fast or an elite route runner for this to work. just able to reverse direction and speed quickly for a moment.

yes it does...to a T

heres the visual of what ugly looks like

thats on coaching

quit drafting smurf tweeners would be a good start

Thursdays are always a bit sloppy but this team has been horribly sloppy all year. maybe part of it has to do with all the injuries and substitutions but its a really bad look

he gets paid the same either way... He talks a lot but hasnt been backing it up

he did..but i dont think it was until like the 4th qtr. shakir had the big gain from it.

I know....wasnt exactly my point. Maybe..had he not been targeting Davis... he wouldnt have got the opi call

so many times when they show the field theres 50 yards of green through the entire center of the field where is no wr..and usually the wrs will be bunched on the sides 5 yards deep. even if the do call a deep shot..one guy goes deep the rest stay lock in place.

he was probably winded...he looks fat and out of shape now.

it looked like on that play who ever was on the left side line was wide open and could have probaby scored

Looks to me like Dawkins is getting to where he is slower than dirt if he cant initially stop someone.

he's a huge part of it. twice on third and 1 he starts cook 5 yards back... cook saved his ass the first time but didnt come close the second time.

its not called the thunder from down under for no reason

now that you mention it.... he does check all the boxes

probably higher than mine. theoretically, hypothetically and realistically based on past history and future speculation.
