Doc Brown

Trade him for Aiyuk.

That was the game I realized Rex shouldn't be allowed to be the head coach a pee wee football team. He blamed not challening a clear incompletion because they didn't show it on the big screen in the stadium. There were a few more wtf challeng and non challenges in that game if I recall. The lack of detail with him in almost every facet of being an NFL head coach was astounding.

The poster is so slow he doesn't realize 2nd round picks only get four year contracts 😉. I kid but I think Gary Coleman may still be able to beat him in a race.

Probably not. I would pull out all the stops to try and trade for Aiyuk or Metcalf (and give them the bag) so Allen can have a true #1 WR in his prime for the next five years. It would give Coleman time to develop as WR2 and would open up the middle of the field for guys like Shakir, Kincaid, and Samuel. Maybe Beane tried already and they weren't for sale. Who knows.

Could the range of potential outcomes be part of a trade package for Aiyuk or Metcalf? I kid. Kind of.

That's pry the reason but the only reason I bring it up is Beane did the same thing with Howard's contract with an added void year. I just caution people not to read too much into the guarantees in Hollins's and MVS's contracts although like I said it's pry at least above 90% they both make the team.

True but it just shows me they're willing to eat a little bit of dead cap if a player is as bad as Howard was in training camp/preseason. If Hollins is horrible in preseason then they'd pry swallow his $1.1m in dead cap. What's interesting about MVS's contract is if they were to cut him they added some void years so they wouldn't eat all that dead cap right away.

When they cut OJ Howard and ate $2.6m in dead camp my thinking about the importance of contract/guarantees when it came to roster spots. I agree with your list but am not ruling out a surprise cut of Hollins or MVS.

It's possible but they also have Ty Johnson and maybe will have Curtis Samuel return kickoffs with the new rules in place.

There goes almost most of our remaining cap money this yeear if he's waived 🤣. The only three I see as locks are Coleman, Shakir, and Samuel. I'd think they'd want at least two bigger bodies that can block with at least one (probably two) having special teams props. Percentage wise to make the roster if they kept six I'd go: Pry WR 4 and 5 MVS: 95% Mack Hollins: 90% WR 6 assuming those two above make it because I don't want to get weird with math (if they keep six) Claypool: 35% Shorter: 30% Isabella: 20% Shavers: 7% Hamler: 4% Thompson: 3% Johnson:0.8% Keys: 0.2%

Joe Webb. The 3rd string quarterback that helped end the drought in the snow game.

He was on the Bears when the pads came on last year.

The checkdown to a wide open Diggs was there for a probable first down. At worst a 3rd and short where I like our chances the way our running game was going with both Josh and our RB's. Chiefs have to start burning timeouts. We can run the clock down where it's a TD for the win or a chip shot for OT. Mahomes doesn't get the ball back. Even if Dawkins held his block, Allen was 1 for 13 (or something close to that) in passes 25 yards plus in the middle of the field last season. Horrible situational awareness by both Brady on the play call and Allen on the decision. I know I'm in the minority on this fwiw.

I know he missed all voluntary OTA's last year too so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Really wish they could find a way to extend him though as he's the perfect fit in this scheme. Although for the fire McDermott people it doesn't matter.

I guess but that high difficulty miss to Shakir passing up a wide open Diggs is hard to forget as much as I love Allen.

I'm not the one saying it's too late. LOL. I'll never get over the stupidty of the coaching at the end of 13 seconds. I'll give you that. Not squib kicking and then giving the WR's/TE's free releases while leaving the middle of the field wide open was beyond incompetence.

So all hope is lost this year. See you next year.

I don't think Pegula's firing McDermott unless McD steals his patio furniture or something. However, what I would do is if lose in similar fashion in the playoffs for the same reasons I wouldn't be opposed to hiring Johnson or Slowik.

What's your preferred approach because firing McDermott isn't in the cards.

What?

I've heard the same thing and know the reasons for the relationship strain from an extremely reliable source. I think they smoothed out the relationship in 2023 but it was never going back to where it was before 2022. I'll be honest and really wish they worked it out. I wish Diggs was still on the team and we drafted Coleman. Diggs, Coleman, Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Cook, and Knox would be the best weapons he's ever had for Josh.

True but Kelce wasn't the same player he once was.

We could ask Glenn Parker and Cornelius Bennett.

I agree with the first point and that includes the Bengals clunker. I don't completely agree with that as I think Mahomes has been just as good as Allen in the last two Divisional Round games. He's the one that made 13 seconds and the overtime winning TD drive happen. Josh missed the throw to Shakir with the game on the line when he should've checked it down to Diggs. Mahomes makes that checkdown. The defensive game plan against Mahomes in the regular season has been much better than in the playoffs for some reason. One half glass full look is we have a new offensive and defensive coordinator now so hopefully they can throw some wrinkles in the game plans if we get back to that point again. Also, as much as I loved Hyde and Poyer they aren't as athletic as the new safeties this year. I'm looking for some optimism here. Also, we should have enough LB depth where we're not putting AJ Klein on Kelce. LOL.
