Doc Brown

Might drive his market price down. Do it Beane.

Watson to any of our three division opponents. I want him traded to the NFC now. I’m more than happy to play Mac, Tua, and Zach Wilson twice a year.

Unless there's a blizzard.

Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy were heavily utilized under McDermott. We just don't have the horses right now. Beane's struck out in both free agency and the draft when it comes to DE.

All I saw was another Paxton Lynch after watching him at the combine. I was definitely guilty of judging a book by its cover.

Sources tell me it was Schoen who was the one who pounded the table to trade up for Ford and Edmunds. He also told Beane and I quote, "Bruce Smith won't be able to hold Epenesa's jockstrap by the time this kid's career is over." Beane's greatest flaw is that he puts too much trust in the people around him.

Draft, develop, resign. Make sure your fricken kicker knows to pooch it. Draft, develop, resign. Make sure your fricken kicker knows to pooch it. Draft, develop, resign. Make sure your fricken kicker knows to pooch it.

Yes. He's their missing piece and Rodgers knows it. Beane better be on his toes to resign this guy before free agency begins.

The curse thing is ridiculous (he was shirtless in the stands during the perfect game) and I'd love to have Fitz as a backup. Give me a gunslinger over a game manager any day of the week. Plus, you know he'd be great for Josh in the locker room. I have a feeling Beane is going to pull off a major trade for a DE or DT. I have no idea with who though.

They went to two Super Bowls and won one with him on the roster. It was a good signing by them. Obviously.

Perception Reality. Especially coming off a rookie deal and I don't blame them.

This is a false flag to get the Packers to sign Kumerow. Well played Aaron.

Tre White might not be back yet so I'm hoping we get easier teams at the beginning of the year. That's the only reason I'd be against it though.

I would've liked it to just be just Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Eminem but it was better than the last crap they've thrown out the last 10 years or so since they stopped featuring the old rock bands (McCartney, Petty, Rolling Stones, Spingsteen, The Who) after that heinous wardrobe malfunction.

We don't have any games out West this year besides the Rams. Just the fact that we play the AFC North and NFC North makes late afternoon games less likely. If Rodgers leaves the Packers there's nothing interesting about the NFC North. What games would you move to 4:15 based off my hypothetical schedule?

No. I like a constant reminder of our misery. Makes me appreciate how elitist our current thread topics are.

Last year we had four with three on the road.

I think this is more about an objection to the scouting combine in general under the guise of what appears to be pretty innocuous Covid protocols. Anything that gives more power to the players I'm in favor of so I hope they follow through on the threat.

You successfully talked me out of a position which rarely happens. I didn't know the franchise tag was that low for TE's. Beane hasn't used the franchise tag yet but Knox could be the exception if all else fails.

I get that perspective too which is why I don't envy Beane. I don't even know if Knox would agree to a Logan Thomas type contract at this point. Maybe a mid year extension makes more sense after we see him in Dorsey's offense.

I don't really pay attention to percentages as they don't take into account the other team has three freaks in Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill. I'm guessing you're assuming the Chiefs would've fair caught it at the 12. I would've liked them to force them to execute that. It took them 11 seconds to go 44 yards so if they started at the 12 they would've gotten to our 46 yard line setting up a 62 yard field goal. Odds are from the 12 though they would've tried to get to about the 50 and then do a Hal Mary on the final play.

I don't know if you read Buscalia's take on the Athletic about the kickoff given it's a subscription site. Here's what he had to say on the kickoff and nothing that's come out since then makes me think he's off base in his opinion of what happened.... When kicker Tyler Bass booted the ball, the right side of the Bills’ kickoff coverage unit immediately began sprinting to their left. Given those first steps, it was clear the call was to direct the ball to the left side. From there, after the coverage unit realized the ball had traveled through the end zone, there were a couple of unusual reactions from core special teams players. The first was from safety Jaquan Johnson, who as the outer-most coverage player primarily hangs back a bit if the returner gets through the first line of defense. In the middle of his run, Johnson immediately put his arms out as if to signal confusion for why the kickoff went through the end zone. He wasn’t the only one. Cornerback Siran Neal, who has played almost every core-four special teams snap this season, had the same reaction as Johnson only a few steps later. Neal looked like he was trying to figure out what had happened. Then one second later, Johnson and Neal both had their arms out in confusion, with Johnson looking toward Bass and Neal looking toward the sideline. Given these reactions, this must be part of the “execution” McDermott was referring to on Tuesday. A touchback made little sense, given the situation. They wanted to take time off the clock without Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce on the field. According to both Football Outsider’s DVOA metrics and Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings, they also boasted the third-best kickoff coverage unit this season. The Bills have a kicker they trust to leave the ball short in clutch situations on kickoffs and have utilized it all season. With all the visual clues of the kickoff, it all points to them calling for an angled kick that landed just shy the goal line. It either would have made the returner waste time by fielding the ball, sacrifice field position with a fair catch, or make a quick run out of bounds to accomplish both. We still don’t know if it was an operator error by Bass, or if coaches didn’t correctly communicate the call to him, but all signs point to the Bills wanting something other than a touchback. In my opinion, that was the most significant misstep of the three plays, because any different outcome would have dramatically altered the Chiefs’ approach when the offense took the field. Had the Chiefs either started from the 10 yard line or been left with only eight seconds of clock, they likely would have been trying desperation heaves with the prevent defense being far more acceptable.

Knox may be a player that you need to take a leap of faith with now as he has the potential to be a top five tight end. His traits and measurable are elite which is why he was a third round pick despite him being relatively new to the position and having little college production. TE is pry the position it takes the longest to develop in. He played better at the end of 2020 and arguably was the most improved player on the team last season. I expect another leap next year. Try to extend him on a three year contract for 28 million or so before he has a monster season pricing you out for him next year.
