I want to see us lose every game 24-21. We get a good pick, but both sides of the ball show improvement.

I always find these posts funny. Clearly, posters like you don't pay close enough attention to this team. Beane has said time and again that he wants to build this team through the draft, and use cap space to keep the good, homegrown players. Beane might sign one or two guys to bloated contracts if they are worth it, but I'd expect a lot of depth, 1-year deals to keep cap space available to sign homegrown players. Might want to check our GMs philosophy before going on about stuff like this.

I think it all comes down to personnel. If he has the Chiefs' personnel, I don't think we would see this conservative game plan, or at least what you claim is conservative. I don't see it, I just see ineptitude on the roster, especially at the QB position, which makes things look a lot more conservative than they are intended to be. Time will tell. I wouldn't be so quick to write off these guys. A lot of new head coaches in this league are struggling. Vance Joseph, who is only in his second year, is going to be fired at the end of this year. Pat Shermer is supposedly an offensive guru hasn't turned the Giants around. Mike Zimmer is a defensive minded head coach and his team is perfectly good on offense. I just think it takes time to employ a plan. It is either fire them both now, hire a new GM who then hires a coach, so the two can work together with the cap space and draft capital. Or, you stick it out with these guys through two more years from this exact point. They get next year and half the following year to turn it around, and maybe you fire them next year if you see no improvement what so ever.

You don't think McDermott wants to score on every possession?

Brady really should retire if he wins it all this year. Go out on top before father time catches you.

It also won't matter because they don't throw flags on the Pats. Rodgers took a blow to the head on the last sack, and there was no call.

Not if this Allen character refs all their games.

When we have 18 million of these threads every week. Yes, yes they should.

What a block by Ingram. Completely flipped the dude. Than easy run in for Kamara.

How do you know it’s a flawed plan? Big if, but would this year be forgivable if we win two Super Bowls in the next five years? We don’t know what the future holds.

Isn’t that Allen’s ceiling with his physical traits?

Meh, that’s putting the ball only where his guy could get it. Zay makes that catch if not for some BS rule where the only spot PI doesn’t count is within one yard of the line of scrimmage.

Peterman has been an absolute dumpster fire and doesn’t have the physical talent Allen has. That’s a very dumb comparison.

The thing I think people forget, we were so cap-strapped we didn't have the necessary ability to amass this large amount of talent. It wouldn't have mattered who was the GM. We didn't have the funds, plain and simple.

I like how we give up on a rookie QB four games into his NFL career. My god guys. We would be picking QBs in the first round in every draft if we had it your way and dumped someone after one year because they weren't an all-pro.

We are in year 1 of the rebuild. Making the playoffs last year wiped out that year being a rebuilding year no matter what moves were made.

He has 34 catches for 453 yards and 3 TDs. Not exactly lighting the world on fire. Then again, he doesn't have too. Like I said, he is overpaid for his production, but they can do that because Hill, Hunt, and Mahomes are on rookie deals. They also have enough other weapons that Sammy doesn't have to be the guy, so it doesn't matter what he ends up with for stats as long as he contributes and doesn't hurt the team.

So, you think we should have massively overpaid for Woods when McDermott's whole intention was to get rid of bad contracts? You think we should have spent money on a player in Goodwin who hadn't played a full season due to injuries? Glenn, I really can't say much. He has played well, but they have Dawkins. Dawkins is younger and developing. If they think he can be as good as Glenn, then he is younger and you have him for much longer. I didn't really make excuses. I tried to explain the rationale behind decisions. Unlike you, I'm not going to lose my ***** over McBeane's decisions. We won't know what kind of impact they'll have until a couple years from now. Football Czar's aren't just laying around waiting to be hired. Beane's in his second year after his first draft. Why don't we give the guy a chance to BUILD a roster before we rush to judgment.

Richie was getting older. They asked him if he would take a pay cut. He said yes. I don't know why it hurts to ask the guy to take a pay cut, especially when he ends up agreeing to it.

But, when a player is in your long-term plans (Aka Woods) it makes it hard to do a 180, especially when you're focused on getting a QB. Who were we supposed to sign with the little cap space we had? Also, Ritchie agreed to the restructure. Then decided it wasn't enough and retired. That's just crap on Richie's part. Don't agree to it in the first place.

I think the biggest problem is, we made the playoffs last year. It just created unrealistic expectations in a lot of our fans.

Woods was never going to resign in Buffalo. He wanted to go to LA, you know, where he was born and raised and went to college. The only way he would have come back would have been for a very over-priced contract. Watkins doesn't deserve the money he is being paid by KC, but KC is all in while Mahomes is on a cheap deal, so they are willing to spend extra for potential because they have so many other weapons who are on cheap deals. Hill and Hunt are both on their rookie deals still. Goodwin was injury prone and never put together a complete season here. Glenn couldn't stay healthy easier, and they used his capital to go get their QB. I don't understand what you don't get. They shredded bad contracts and made an aging roster much younger. Yeah, they got rid of some talent, but they have also added young talent. You can completely rebuild an offense in one offseason when you have your QB in place. The Rams did it last year. Can we please stop with the threads. These guys aren't getting fired this year. They'll have this offseason to improve the roster. If they don't show signs of improvement, they'll both be gone by the end of next year. For now, quit getting so worked up.

How was McBeane supposed to know that Woods would be forced to retire and Richie would go off the deep end?

40 percent of our players are first or second-year players. We are very young. McDermott is going to have this roster dismantled and get canned before he can actually turn things around. Unless the Pegulas are all in on letting him coach for his full five years. I can't see this team being good until the 2020 season.

One in Baltimore?
