Crazy Milano stat: 75% completion percentage (not including the Bucs game) - worst (by far) of his career. 9% missed tackle rate - Best (by far) of his career.

I will say re: Keon, him being loose pregame is better than him sulking. Hopefully this is a wakeup call. I still think he could be a good slot WR. Sheesh, no wonder he didn't want to show up to meetings 😬

That will continue with our DT play. Bernard needs a week to heal up as well. Disagree, we need better DT play/philosophy. 220-230 pound LBers is the norm in today's NFL. Brandon Spikes-type would be a huge liability in today's NFL, you'd have a 10 man defense every pass play.

Agreed, but I kind of feel the super dink and dunk passing game we had seen was more due to personnel issues. McD's philosophy for years has been jump onto a lead early. If Palmer, Davis, and Hardman really opened up the offense like how it looked yesterday, we may see a more aggressive (but still balanced) offense.

"Full speed 100% of the time" lol

Crazy stat of the day: The ONLY defensive player with a stat (tackles, TFL, Sacks, ext) thank ranks in the top TWENTY in the NFL... ...is Cole Bishop and his 3 INTs (T-5th)

Without riding the roller coaster, because I'm not sure we can rely on Shavers to go 4-90-TD again, but the air offense passed the eye test yesterday. Can't even recall the last time we saw so many mid and deep throws. Need to clean up the OL free blitzers, but I'm a little encouraged with what we saw yesterday.

We've had God Mode Allen in the playoffs and it hasn't mattered.

Milano and Bernard have established that they are really freaking good with at least average DTs in front of them. I think DQ and Ed have been who they've always been: Injured yet reliable when they are on the field. Phillips is a legit practice squad level player. Larry O and Phil Mathis I'm not totally sure how they are playing. The rookies look like rookies, with Walker having the occasional splash play. Not sure that Sanders has shown us anything so far. I think the future looks good at DT with Ed, Walker and Sanders (assuming those guys take a step forward), but that doesn't help us right now.

Right, we are a defense built to force the pass. Having a neutered offense is the complete opposite of complementary football.

I see 3 major problems 1) DTs cannot anchor in the run game, kiss of death for 220lb LBers. 2) Bernard is clearly playing on a bum wheel. 3) Milano regression

He was benched earlier in the season for being late to a meeting, he and his agent were doing some cryptic tweet BS at the deadline. Jogging when he isn't the top read. Not sure if he's a cancer, but if he goes any more Total Diva he'll have a show with the Bella Twins.

The McD bench wakeup call has worked for certain players to in the past (Taron Johnson comes to mind), we will see what happens.

100% gut feeling. It's one thing to be humble and be wrong, but he made an ass of himself this summer on top of poorly constructed roster Lots around here think we are on the Highway to Hell soooo

Part of me wonders if Beane refused to trade the 2026 first because he plans to swing for a rookie WR? Patriots wasted 12 of Brady's 18 years...

I'm not so confident that Beane isn't on the hot seat

If we fired McD, kept Beane and hired Gruden, I'd lose all faith in Pegs.

I looked it up, he had 10 games with under 3 catches, 5 games with under 3 targets. He also had 5 games with more than 80 yards, 4 with more than 100

Maybe, Keon Coleman has the most snaps of any WR this season (70%), where Shakir has played about 61% Despite this, Shakir out targets him 58 to 49. If they benched Keon, I think Davis and Palmer would see an uptick, but Keon would still rotate in. Shakir would likely still be Allen's top choice when he is in.

I remember scouting reports suggesting that Keon may be best in the slot, let him take over Kincaid's routes the next few weeks and put Davis and Palmer on the boundary....

"WR2" but he's target 2-4. Kincaid, Shakir, and Palmer should average more targets. Davis didn't play from the slot when he was newer, he just subbed in on the outside IIRC. Let him and Coleman split the outside reps.

I'm so insanely curious to see what this offense looks like with Palmer and Davis healthy.

No relation to Megan

Our lasting memories are bad, but Gabe was a dude here before we were like 'be WR2.' Expert at sideline catches and sneaky good deep ball.

Honestly I think it's Codrington who gets cut. 100% agree.
