The Jets will make our D like like superstars.

It's a game of inches. If that ball comes out a quarter of a second earlier, before his knee touches the ground, we have the ball at the 30, down 6 with a shot to take the lead, after Josh had just run us down the field to score.

I understand that. But the contract isn't for one season, so saying "we could have had Phillips for 4 million!" is 100% wrong. Yes, Phillips is getting 4 million this season, but that means literally nothing because the ONLY way to get that, is to pay him 16 million more over the next 2 seasons. The contract is 3 years, 30 million. It's not 1 year, 4 million.

3 years, 30 million. I'm no math genius, but.....

10-4. I was just pointing out that I don't like to use 2018 stats when talking about the current coaching staff, including McDermott. That year was the "tank" year of the rebuild and somewhat of an anomaly that is not reflective (in my opinion) of how good our coaching staff is overall.

I never once stated in my post that you said he should be fired.

You're using 2018 as any type of gauge? We were an overall bad team in 2018 with a gazillion dollars in dead cap space. I would write off anything that happened in 2018, as that was our "gutted" year of the rebuild. So that leaves one game last year, and one game this year. And the Titans game - yeah, we lost by a bunch. But find me a d-coordinator whose defense isnt going to give up a bunch of points with 3 drives starting INSIDE THEIR OWN RED ZONE and a fourth that started at the 30. Could they have played better? Absolutely. But is the world falling because of "points"? No, because there's a lot more that goes into it than that. The offense and special teams gave them horrific field position all night, and that was still a 11-point game midway through the fourth quarter.

massively.

I usually avoid this board for a day or so. Let all of the ridiculous "hot takes" subside, like firing the d-coordinator of the defense that's been top-2 the last 2 years and top-7 EVERY year since he's been here after a couple bad games. Once all that crap dies down, I'm back.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Two things can be true at once. He can help us win games, while boosting stats. In fact, that's actually the way it normally happens.

The great thing is, he can pick where he wants to go. Any team can offer him the league minimum, and the Jets have to pay the difference up to his $6m guarantee with them. So it wouldn't cost us much to bring him in on a 1-year deal. Wouldn't that be delicious? The Jets paying him to play for us?

While I shared that same sentiment, at the same time, the more games the Chiefs lose, the better it is for us, so I definitely wasn't rooting against the Raiders there.

Should be the same, 90 minutes before kickoff, so should be around 5:30.

sending you a PM.

Personally, no, although I wish I had. I have an Great Aunt and Uncle back home in NY (my dad’s aunt and uncle), who live in a house, that is supposedly inhabited by spirits. Basically anybody that’s ever spent the night in that house claims to have seen them, including my Dad himself, and his cousins (my 2nd cousins) Kevin and Jacquie. My Aunt and Uncle still see them to this day and are so immune to it, it’s no big deal. My Aunt has actually told me that they’ve lived with them for so long (40-plus years) that they actually make her feel comfortable, like they are protecting her. It’s a man and a woman that they see, always the same. Years ago, they did a bunch of research on the house and found some previous owners of the house, with late 1800’s through early 1900’s photos - and apparently that’s who they see. They know their names and everything. Supposedly the ghosts interact with them, or at least acknowledge that they are there. When they put in their in-ground pool in the early 90’s, apparently that REALLY stirred things up. And I know this sounds weird after that damn story, but these particular family members are not the “eclectic” type... just normal people. Definitely not the kind of people that you take what they say with a grain of salt. And there have been so many stories within the family about family members that have seen them, again, including my Dad, that I absolutely have to believe that it’s true, although again, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.

Why would you wish that on Joshua?

Think Coach McD could coax Kuechly out of retirement? 😂

And Adam Gase is still employed.

Nice. When you get back in town, Bills games are always on in my garage on Sundays (Since you live in Concord, too)!!!!!

"Oooh, tough break, Squeak"

Although I despise the Jests, this is good news.

The way I read it was if there are any positive tests between now and Tuesday, that's the case... However, if that positive test comes Monday or Tuesday, and the league still wants us to play Thursday with basically one day to prepare for the world champs, I'd be pissed.

And Josh actually spent one half of one game on the bench, instead of the year or two he probably needed. And he has still turned out to be a star.

I don't think there is a better coach in the NFL as far as getting the most out of the talent that he has/getting a team to overachieve for their talent level. The team that broke the drought had no business being 9-7, and the horrid team the next year that we had shed all of the bad contracts had no business being anything more than a 3-13/4-12 team, yet he somehow got them to 6 wins.

Yes, I'd rather be in that situation than the team that has to continue playing games on the tail end of a long season, having potential injuries pile up, versus having a couple weeks to get guys healthy before the playoffs.
