Yobogoya!

Yeah the tough part is and has always been where does McDermott’s will stop and Beane’s begins? McDermott hand picked his GM and I just have a hard time believing important personnel decisions don’t have his input. The “culture” guys we’ve picked screams McD more, imo- I think this roster is a joint effort.

This defense is not championship caliber. Maybe another 2-3 drafts and off seasons and McD will finally have alllllll the right pieces in place?

No one coached him not to?

Josh Allen is playing a real NFL defense.

We just cannot stop a ball from being completed once it’s in the air. Like never.

Might have been Brady’s best red zone play all season.

Complimentary football?

Yeah everybody eats only works if everyone body is eating. Right now ain’t nobody eating.

And this isn’t some kind of new development, either.

I was inclined to agree but the last angle showed a clear pats recovery.

You know for as many points as this offense has scored last few years, it’s amazing how often you’ll watch a play and wonder what on earth they were doing. 🤷‍♂️

He does this to the Bills every game.

An end around to our most “stone hands” player seems like a questionable idea.

I don’t even know what our “starting lineup” was supposed to look like, and can’t really picture the last time we had 11 intended starters on defense able and ready to line up..

I mean not for nothing but in my experience those two things are not mutually exclusive 😅

I gotta be honest- had my doubts Cook was worth the money but he's definitely gone full playmaker this year! Hard to believe we haven't had a RB earn this distinction since 1991. We've had some damn good rb's even during the decades of futility, but obviously we didn't make a habit of consistent offensive production during those years.

Oh I'd be all in on that option, I was just trying to keep my wish list within the realm of what seems plausible, haha. I've come to accept that unless Josh has a season ending injury and we have a total crash-and-burn ala the 2011 Colts, this is McDermott's team for the foreseeable future. And I mean, hey, my ultimate wish is we're hoisting a trophy in February and can taper all discussions of who to fire for at least one full off-season. I'd like to think Babich can grow into a guy we're proud to have on our team- I just hate that we've spent the last several seasons grooming young coordinators in the midst of Josh Allen's prime.

If the Browns blow it up this year, I'd 100% be all for giving Schwartz another go-round here. Hell, if Josh gets Brady a HC job this off season I'd be down for bringing in Stefanski as well, lol.

I can. 2014 under Jim Schwartz. Only gave up 30 once that year (to the patriots) and held half our opponents under 20. Miss that "cold front" defense.

My favorite is every summer "it's just preseason" when we can't get off the field on third and long. Then the season starts and we still can't get off the field on third and long. What exacerbates the issue is McDermott is a "defensive coach" so there's an implicit feeling that his side of the ball should be a natural strength, along with the defensive-heavy high draft picks of the McBeane regime. You can't hate fans for thinking at some point, some year, we should look something like the 2023 Baltimore Ravens.

Bills were favored by 14.5 and didn't cover, winning by 12. Make of it what you will 🤷‍♂️

Lamar is weak. Harbaugh is a putz. Ravens entire roster is trying to find injuries so they can get out of this train wreck.

Butker hitting a wall is an unexpected boon for this year. He’s been clutching and now Chiefs are clutching their cheeks even on extra points.

I hope this puts to bed that Lamar is somehow elevating his team to a greater extent than Josh is. The guy can throw a good pass but he really does pad his stats against trash teams and in the bigger games of his career- he does not show up.
