Sweats

Well, it would be nice if at least one of those teams played with any kind of emotion.

I still like how Rodgers came in as the NYJ saviour........ran onto the field against our Bills waving a flag, 4 plays later, out for the season. Like, come on man

It's actually WR's are on the decline from the priority they used to be. In the 90's and early 2000's, WR's were one of the most integral part of a roster, with QB's taking advantage of D schemes and hurling long bombs. Things started to flip mid 2000's when teams started to covet CB/DB's more and cover the entire down field with high safety looks and passing became more over the middle and TE's being coveted to take advantage of the coverage. The "day of the WR" will surely come back, as everything travels full circle in the NFL, but i would say right now, WR's are important, but not nearly as important as they used to be......(and as i am writing this phrase, i think of our roster with terrible WR's and cringe).

Are you kidding me?.......McD is the most protected HC out there right now. Pegs loves him, Beane loves him, JA won't say anything negative about him, McD's twelve fans still love him........

So.....when are the threads going to start that we should hire him?

When i was a kid, those monkeys used to scare the living daylights out of me. Also, the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang......when the guy would go out in the street and kidnap the kids in cages. Scared me to death every time as a kid and they could never get away with a movie premise like that anymore these days. There was another movie, Return To OZ that came out (i think in the early 90's) and it sure wasn't a kids movie, that's for sure.

Agreed. McD has shown time and time again that although he can be brilliant at times, he can also more often than not, make crucial mistakes at the worst possible times.....it's like a bad remake of Groundhog Day, only the insanity just never ends. It's honestly embarrassing how many times he has choked and even more embarrassing how fans still stick up for him. I get it......McD and the FO have taken this franchise out of the dark depths, but they have also sent the franchise into a limbo of sorts, of the likes can only be compared to with Cleveland (alright, any Browns comparison is uncalled for and i apologize, but i'm angry dammit).

KC utilizes this all the time without fail, but i think it's a concept that our OC hasn't quite grasped just yet.

Yeah, pretty much......enough hits and you start to look like him too......i'm not that far off at this point.

I think they took that with them when they were shown the door.

I think he's saying we need a coach to coach the coach..........yes, you read that correctly.

McD has no flaws and saying anything contrary makes you a bad fan

I agree, brother......i brought up the same points and was considered a "bad fan".......you know, for having an opinion. The ways that this team continuously finds to implode on the field is outright uncanny, unheard of and somewhat comical. The game mismanagement each and every week is historically bad and yet, fans still want to wear the blinders and think everything is perfectly fine, like a move along, nothing to see here mentality. Even getting into the postseason every season, we all know how the story ends going forward. We win just enough for the FO to make money and keep the fans coming back and buying the merchandise......unfortunately, the product on the field is failing, but the fans keep buying into it and will continue to do so because at least its not the "drought years". If this isn't our year, then maybe next season........................................................................................................(spoken by every Bills fan)

Aye Carumba.....

How are these coaches not on the same page? McD has to implement what he expects out of his coordinators and force ownership on decisions and he needs better communication. I can see already if McD was my boss, i'd lay a piling steamer on his desk the first day and then quit.

Well, they kind of needed our piss poor game management to beat us.......and we gladly handed it to them on a silver platter.

But our FO said that even retooling this year, we weren't going to miss a beat and still be competitive......sure, we can beat up on bad teams but give us a challenge and we fold like a cheap Tua.

A bad coaching decision threw off our momentum by 3 straight passes and not running to chew the clock.......just like last week even trying that horrendous trick play, killing our momentum of a comeback in that game. Two weeks in a row, bad coaching decisions screwed the team, but it's not on the coaching staff? Delusional fanbase right there.

No, just stay away from my worst poster crown, son.......i'm not giving it up so easily.

Wow, i thought i was the worst poster round here, but i see someone is making a play for my crown.

It's a business and the priority of any business is to make money. As long as the asses are in the seats and people are spending their hard-earned cash on the merchandise, the business is flourishing and making money. So, business and money first, a championship 2nd......it will always work like this, and you can't convince me otherwise. If you honestly think a billion dollar business puts customers and "feelings" above money, you are delusional.........money will always come first in any business. Businesses care about the customer just enough for them to keep coming back to soak up more money. Sports franchises are no different and in fact are the worst of all business, as they have the fanbase believe that they care about them and lull them into believing that if the fan lives and dies for that franchise, they will be rewarded sometime down the line with a championship.........but remember in business, it is money first and championship second.

Our run game seemed to be working, so we could have stuck with that until passing plays became available.......you know, use the run to set up the pass. But what do i know?

I'll give you a pass cause you obviously haven't watched the games this year........JA with the worst completion percentage in the history of the NFL, garbage WR's (through no fault of their own, that just aren't good), an offseason where our FO did nothing to correct the WR situation and in fact could have easily double-dipped in the draft and didn't, WR's that can't catch balls, JA throwing balls into the dirt or 7 feet above everyone's head, historically bad O calling, piss poor game management by McD, keeping Hamlin on the roster, keeping Bass on the roster, etc........i could go on all day, son. This team is going backwards.

Everything you've brought up has been talked about all offseason and you're not wrong. I remember you were beating the drum over our WR situation, and it turns out that you had the foresight to see how this story ends. The team is just historically broken this year........everyone is accountable at this point.

When i lived in Ontario, we seriously had dentists on just about every street corner, so if you had an emergency, you just called around until you could get in......and if you told them it was an emergency, they took you immediately. Since i moved to northern Quebec about 3 years ago, this is the first time i had to see a dentist and the experience was a friggin nightmare. True, we don't have nearly the amount of dentists up this way and i'm starting to see why people are walking around up here with only 3 teeth in their mouth, but when they see a guy walk in with a broken tooth, they know from experience that the guy is in some pain. * call to make an appointment * go in the first time for them to have a look * come back a week later for x-rays and an assessment * go back even one week later for a partial root canal * i have to go back in another week to finish the root canal I have seriously never seen, nor heard anything like this. They knew i was in obvious pain, they did nothing and just kept telling me to come back another day and time. In what universe does this make sense?
