This was my post on Cossell in the off-season and talking about our acquisitions: Greg Cosell uses a bunch of very broad words to describe every player and people think he's full of knowledge. He's been doing this for years. These are his EXACT words from that ESPN segment: Him on Bosa: "Durability is a factor and can be a factor as a pass rusher. He's not dominate but he's effective" Him on Hoecht : "He's a very disciplined player, he sets things up for other people and can play everywhere." Him on Larry Ogunjobi: "Classic rotational player that's solid. He's a guy you want in your DT room and he's a good rotational player. He's just one of those players that no one thinks about because he doesn't get sacks but he's critical" Him on Palmer: "He's 6'1 210 and I thought he could be a good player. He has a lot of traits and vertical ability and maybe he needed a change of scenery." Oh thanks for the insight, Greg! From the OP: "They aren't one of the most talented teams in the league, they aren't that good overall from a talent perspective, they lack play makers on both sides of the ball, very poor WR core and Kalir is more of a WR3, , have to scheme up offense, and rely on Josh being Superman which is hard to be sustainable and win like that. " What did you learn in here that you didn't already know? This is repeated on this board time and time again. Oh thanks for the insight. Greg! He doesn't provide ANYTHING of value.

Go watch and realllllly listen to him talk about players. It's the most generic stuff you'll ever hear. "Yeah this guy at QB, really hits his 3 step drop and gets rid of the ball" He offers nothing insightful. Listen to him on ESPN when he was talking about the Bills in the offseason. Of Hoecht: "This guy is multi dimensional, plays a lot of positions, is tough. Can put his hand in the ground or stand up." MOST of his takes are like that. From the OP: "They aren't one of the most talented teams in the league, they aren't that good overall from a talent perspective, they lack play makers on both sides of the ball, very poor WR core and Kalir is more of a WR3, , have to scheme up offense, and rely on Josh being Superman which is hard to be sustainable and win like that. " What did you learn in here that you didn't already know? This is repeated on this board time and time again.

I don't think the Texan's beat us again. I don't trust stroud. He was bad yesterday. The team is not winning because of him. My only concern is.... I don't trust Joe Brady to make adjustments. It would be Josh willing the team (like yesterday).

Shavers was great in run blocking yesterday.

Oh totally, I wasn't suggesting you were. The fact we are rolling out Tre White and Jordan Poyer is a serious serious problem. Yeah, it does take adjustment to the NFL. I'm still VERY hopeful for Sanders. As a SC fan, I watched a lot of him and he was very solid in college. Injury sucks, of course but yeah, 3ish years is a good amount of time to judge on the whole, for sure.

I'm really interested to see Hancock and how he develops. He played so many positions in college he never really stuck anywhere. I hope that with NFL coaching and stuck to one position, he can be a solid solid player for us. I really like the kind of player he is: versatile, hybrid, not slow, not bad at tackling,

Well, 3 looks like potential starters next year with 2 of them being studs (other being Hancock). Walker, IMO will be a star and Hairston has been pretty solid even missing most of TC and having a few weeks of playing. Hitting on 3 picks in a draft is pretty darn good. Sanders is still a who knows and Landon Jackson was an absolute miss and I hated that draft pick with every ounce of my being. On the O side, Hawes has been excellent. So, all in all hitting on 5-6 is really a good draft. This draft (outside of the obvious miss on Jackson) seems solid

I don't think he was suggesting we bring him in, just that fired OC = a QB stat. But this is funny nonetheless.

They were 17th and 24th in defense the years they won the Super Bowl. You dont have to like the guy but saying hes a HOFer on 2 throws is ridiculous. He also had almost 60k passing yards. He's 11th all time in yards and TDs with 2 SBs ... Sure, agree to disagree but I don't think you are looking at his whole body of work

So you think Eli Manning won 2 Superbowl ONLY because of 2 throws? The throw to Manningham down the sideline was one of the best throws in the history of the game. He and Hicks went elsewhere and became absolutely nothing. Why? Who cares about his career record, he won 2 SB's. 2 SB MVPs, 7-2 road record in the playoffs. The two throws your referring to weren't even touchdowns....

One of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. And there are a lot of dumb things said on this site. I strongly dislike OBJ BUT even when he was with the Rams, he was electric and def provided a spark, would've been the MVP of that SB probably. Saying he was good off of one play is just asinine.

Yeah, like Dors--- er Brady remembering Josh Allen can throw the ball effectively more than 10 yards down field.

The teams at the top have very favorable schedules based on where they finished last year. I don't think the Colts / Broncos beyond this year have much staying power. Patriots are tricky because Maye seems like a stud but we are their only quality win and they have beaten reallllly bad teams. I get you can only play who is on your schedule but we saw this last year with Jayden Daniels too. It will be interesting to see them in the playoffs and how they do. Broncos are carried by the defense and they haven't had many good wins outside of Philly, which again, defense dominated. Had to come back vs Giants, beat Jets by 2. Houston by 3 (without Stroud second half, i believe) and barely beat the Raiders. Bo Nix has an off target percentage on balls thrown over 10 yards of 39%. Which is dead last in the NFL. When he has a clean pocket, he has off target throws 37% of the time which is also dead last. Not sustainable once you get to playoffs. The chiefs game this week will be very telling.

...... do you live under a rock? Pacheco broke his fibula last year, Mahomes tore Rice's ACL, Hollywood Brown was hurt all regular season last year. Worthy missed 4 games this year. Justin watson missed time. Every team has injuries my man. Please see above... Just because they made the SB doesn't mean they didn't have injuries.

Yes? Use motion so he can’t get jammed off the line. Do you think the Bills are the only team struggling with boundary receivers? Do Boutte, 32 year old Diggs, and Mack Hollins scream “Boundary threats?” No but McDaniels has schemes. Boutte has a slower 40 than Coleman and his avg depth of reception is 17.8 yards. But guess what? They throw the ball for 250-300 a game. Why? Scheme, motion, creativity. We aren’t even calling plays where this is possible. We don’t have routes from the intermediate to deep. Guess what else this hurts? Josh Allen’s ability to scramble and open up plays. When everything is within 10 yards of LOS, you’re taking away his best asset.

At this point, I have to put some blame Brady for the WR room. There is zero creativity. We run 1 scripted play to Shakir, there is no crossing routes, there are no motions, it's so bizarre. I don't think I've ever seen the ball snapped with Coleman off the line or in motion. Why don't we try using him in the slot? Why don't we use him in motion, snap the ball, and have him cross? Why don't we run screens to him? He's great with the ball in his hands. Samuel is a fast WR. There is nothing scheming him open. We scheme route concepts, not getting folks open. It's so hard to watch teams put their players in position to run after the catch and we just cant. Shakir being the only exception. Maybe they're "saving" some stuff for down the line. I don't know. I'd also like to see us use Cook more in the passing game. I just think our offensive passing game lacks a ton of creativity. 2 completions more than 20 yards down field this year is embarrassing.

AJ has been the least of our issues and I am no fan of his. I hated the draft pick and extension.

I truly don't understand why we leave Coleman just sitting out wide and allow him to get pressed. He is a monster and a great athlete. I can not remember (if it's ever happened) the last time we snapped the ball while he was in motion. Why not use him in the slot? Why not pick him open? We literally just sit and run slants and go's to him. We have to be creative because he is fantastic with the ball in his hands after catch.

We're on week 8, the title says week 9 and in the header of the post it says Week 7. But the dates and times are for next Thu- Mo.

This is really confusing........

It's really not though, Reich was fired during Bryce's rookie year, Eberflus was fired during Caleb's rookie year, Meyer with Lawrence, Fischer with Goff, and Hue with Baker and now this. It's becoming more common with expected results out of the gate with high QB picks.

Because people need something to b***h about and be unhappy about with our offense

If Jordan Poyer is a starter, we are F****D

You don't think you have to pay people on the practice squad? Let's not let thinking get in the way of words. So you want to take up a practice squad spot, for a guy that you'll use for 1 game a year(maybe) and 3 plays in that game(maybe). But then also take up an active roster spot for someone that game day for the same reason? Let's not let thinking get in the way of words.

So take up a roster spot for 1 team that does 1 play 5 times a game? Or just pay a guy to be inactive all year minus 1 game? That sounds brilliant.
