They should've done this along time ago. They should've done this along time ago.

People please stop with this over used term "conspiracy". The NFL must have a means to steer games. They do it thru their hand picked controlled refs. It's not a conspiracy but a business model. It's been going on for years. Players like Brady get protection because of the revenue they generate. Wake up.

Look how quickly they changed the NE punt that hit Harry's facemask. I can be done.

Fournette is also a FA

I was just going to say that. Dumbolls favorite play. The college wr screen for a 4 yard loss. That's his go to....

Find Josh his Terrel Davis and we'll probably win a couple SB's.

....and I'm sure the refs will be super generous to us in Foxboro.....😜

Int's.....??.....I'd settle for a 1 yard TFL like last night.

Just call the game fairly and equitable. You shouldn't have to tell one team to be more aggressive in preperation for the refs favoring a Brady team. Diggs was raped and 5 flags should've come out. 1st and goal at the 1.

Stick Donald next to Ed....sheesh

...and a C, then Seanie boy can go to town on a CB & 1T.

Exactly, if McD knew he would see TE continue to struggle instinctually there's no way in hell he'd gift him 12.7M. I have no problem in him taking one final (expensive) peek into Tremaine's development with the 5th year. But this mike experiment is officially over unless he agrees to go outside on a cheaper deal. Let another team deal with him.

Pretty much. I think we've easily had the most days lost.

Sorry Manny but this is a good thing. Much more of Davis thank you.

I'm just curious, who draws up fake punts? Is it the ST coach or OC?

I couldn't AGREE more...shutting down Davis during the middle of this season to appease the veteran Sanders was so incredibly stupid. The pecking order should always have been Diggs, Davis, Beasley and Sanders. In that order. And their collective targets should've reflected that. Another mistake by McDabs....

It's not like Trubisky is Matt Barkley or Fromm. He can beat a McCaffrey-less team with an aging Cam. This is the reason we picked him up. If Josh is only 70-80% sit him and rest him for Foxboro.

I don't begrudge Edmunds for the TD. Perriman should have been covered already. But Edmunds not finishing that tackle on Fournette might've been the game. His run support skills are waining. Gabe Davis needs to Immediately become our WR2. Limit Sanders's snaps now. The structure of the fake punt was destined to fail. Not going for 4th & 3 was a fail on McD. Dane played commendable and will be a good depth cb when Tre returns. Love Harry's motor but Ed deserves a true 1T next to him. Coaching has to improve. Daboll's runs on 1st down are so frustrating. I think we'll limp to 10-7 and be the 7th WC. But this OL is not getting us to LA.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Ed Oliver. He's basically had no one reliable next to him all year. Star has been worthless and Harry tries but he's nowhere near a 1T. Several DL guys will be gone. Probably Hughes, Addison, Butler, Star and Bryant. Guys like Phillips, Obada, Zimmer and Ankou are just depth. We need a young stud 1T who will battle side by side with Ed.

Can we merge all the "we will win out" threads to one STFU thread. We've now experienced 6 wake up calls. I'm all for fan optimism and enthusiasm but this is silly. Maybe we can all practice our Joe Namath finger wave.....

They'll be more boots in Josh's future if McD & Beane don't lock themselves in a room and begin a plan for a full OL/RB rebuild. No RB is safe (sorry Motor) and besides maybe Dawkins and Brown, no olineman is safe.

If you can promise me we keep TE on the outside and allow him to occassionally blitz, I could live with him remaining at a very reasonable $ amount. You need some semblance of run support/instincts to play mike. It can't be 100% pass coverage only.

They got too obsessed with stopping Mahomes that they leveraged improving an already weak OL to chase some skinny DE's. We knew whole heartedly last season our OL/RB's were insufficient. Yet Beane decided to run it back. Now they'll probably over correct and pick 7 Olineman?

All I know is this team needs to start rallying alot more around their leader Allen. The way he wills this team and carries them on his bach is staggering. We're not going to be able to fix issues like OL, RB, MLB all this offseason. But get a fast RB and a couple of better guards and we'd be worlds better. Coaching must improve along with Beane's selections. This team has way too much talent to be dicking around like this. And finally we need a big enough lead to neutralize the refs.

I'd wear it and take a 3rd for him. No way we're getting a 1st. The rest of the league knows Edmunds flaws. And this stubborn coaching staff refuses to put him outside?
