We knew about Hoecht but not Ogunjobi https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-gm-free-agent-signings-mike-hoecht-larry-ogunjobi-facing-six-game-suspensions-for-ped-violations

I think this would be a terrible idea. 1) Tanking is NOT a big issue in the NFL. There's only a few examples of teams tanking an entire season in the past 20+ years (IE Colts for Luck or Browns for Garrett). There's been any number of janky final games of the season like our game vs Pats last year, but I don't see how this proposal would help that. 2) This would make tanking MORE blatant. Teams would be in a desperate scramble to make it to the minimum number of wins to keep their pick, and as soon as they reached it they would trade/bench everyone to ensure they don't win any additional games. 3) Any team that loses what would've been an early 1st round pick is going to be severely crippled going forward. Can you imagine being a fan of a team that can't make it to the minimum number of wins and then loses their 1st round pick? That team would lose all it's fans in a few years and fold...

Who coulda guessed that giving a massive contract to a 33 year old pass rusher (Miller) wouldn't have worked out? Or a PED abuser in Hoecht? Beane targeted these risky guys and it blew up in his face

Grading extensions this offseason from best to worst 1) Cook: A+ 2) Allen: B+ 3) Groot: C 4) Benford: D- 5) Bernard: F

Heck you can add Bernard and Benford to this list. It's insane that 2024 was a "cap reset" year where we purged a ton of older players and traded Diggs away resulting in about 90 mil deadcap and our cap situation is ALREADY back in the crapper. Beane has done an awful job on recent contracts and managing the cap

Not really. The last 7 minutes of the Ravens game and the 2nd half of the Bucs game were about it. Watching this defense is soul crushing. Can't stop the run. Can't stop 3rd downs. Can't get sacks/turnovers unless we're playing Fields or Dalton. This defense is mostly bend AND break. We're sometimes bend but don't break. It feels like this offense runs 10+ bubble screens per game, half of which get tackled for minimum gain (or a loss). The offensive philosophy seems to prefer draining the clock over scoring points in an effort to protect this god awful defense.

Not the first time he's damaged that elbow. Rookie season missed 4 games with UCL sprain Elbow tear in 2022 week 9 that he played through Elbow sprain in 2024 week 16 that he played through (repeatedly shaking his hand trying to get feeling back).

Best we can do is blame injuries and blather on about complementary football

Honestly Bernard should be benched as well. Hopefully he's dealing with an injury that's making him play as poorly as he is.

It also could've been a completion. I think both of his INTs yesterday were good risks to take. The first one he makes a risky throw to avoid a safety. The second one he tried forcing a throw on 4th down - an INT is preferable to an incompletion on that play.

I'm confused by the analysis on the INT. Kubiak says there are 3 good options, but Shavers is the only guy remotely open? And that was a slow developing route. It's still a god awful throw by Allen, but I disagree with the analysis that he had multiple good options on the play.

Jalen Hurts is aggressively mediocre. He got benched for Tua....

Keon's been benched twice (once last year and once this year) for 'disciplinary reasons'. McD left it vague but being late or missing practice is a good bet.

Pretty awful game for the defense IMO. The defense allowed 14 points on the Dolphins first 3 drives. Then had a stretch where they played pretty well from the middle of the 2nd Q into the 4th Q. Then gave up a couple of long TDs in the 4th Q to put the game away. Both of Tua's interceptions were just arm punts
