Da webster guy

yeah it was weird. hopefully injury related because two seasons ago before the pec tear, Daquon was a force out there.

wOW great write up Gunner. Beane's best line about Max was it's nice when your area scout has a first round grade on a guy, plus your overall scout team AND he fits your needs and you can get him in the first without having to trade up. Man he seems like a Tredavious clone, same size, same smile, same energy. Will be fun to watch the kid. Idiot question: If we have a 5'11 guy with ball skills that can run a 4.28 does it ever make sense to have him run a go route against man coverage teams or even single high safety teams? Thats blazing, field stretching speed there....

You mean Matthew "i got pictures of Pegula doin blow in a Tuijana cat house" Smiley?

Mark Lubick has two roles: passing game specialist/game management. I wonder if game management includes clock/challenge and timeout management in-game? The highest priority I see is game management and supporting Sean/Brady at end of half and end of game clock management. We saw their disconnect at the end of the Houston game when Brady, in his first full year running the offense ignored Sean at the end of the game with a tie score who said “we need to be going for the 1st down here” after a 1st down pass from the endzone failed. As you may remember Brady called two more pass plays despite a light front from Houston and Cook already on the field, we’re forced to punt away, dont get to OT, and lose the game. (Nico Collins got hurt earlier that game and I believe we win that one in OT) If we win that game, the Chiefs would have had to play and win in Denver week 18 or we get the 1 seed. Why am I retelling this? I believe the greatest coaching weakness we have is end of half/game management. OC’s are tactical—they tend to think of the next play, moving the chains—and head coaches are strategic, they see the big picture, clock, remaining timeouts, situational forecasting, how to close out and finish. Seans weakness, our teams weakness is the disconnect between strategic and tactical coaching. He’s a great leader and teambuilder but needs help w strategy because Brady has showed us a lack of it as well. So when I see a list of coaches and one says game management, thats what I hope it entails, meshing the two functions so they take each other into account because that should be the loudest voice on the headset at the end of these games.

I feel like Hollywood Brown is the most overrated WR in football. Inconsistent, often injured, and average player when he's actually healthy enough to be on the field. Still benefitting from the image of being great in college.

NFL player evaluations should include a "weirdness" factor Diggs had it, Rodgers for sure. Nice guys in many ways on and off the field, but just WEIRD dudes. Cryptic comments, bizarre behavior, It tends to eventually alienate them despite their ball skills.

Whiny Mahomes after the Toney Offside game, once again can't say congrats to Josh instead says "Worst fkin call I've ever seen in my life" Cameras clearly show him a full foot over the line. Classic Pat

In a redraft, Benford was a 1st round talent and Elam was a 6th. We did fine there. To me the most painful draft mistake was two years ago we were sitting there in the 5th round looking for a WR. The NFL odds for any 5th rounder to have an NFL career are 4-5% so any pick down here is a prayer. We were looking for some WR depth and Puka Nucua was sitting there, a top 5 elite game changing receiver, and our scouting team said nah, we'll take Shorter. Nacua paired w Diggs and Shakir last year would have been enough to get us a championship. Maybe this year too. Obviously everyone passed on the guy for 176 picks and there are millions of examples of NFL surprises, but someone this elite in the late rounds when we're already hunting for a WR to me is another example of the Bills scouts falling us. Its am incredibly hard job and every team misses a ton, but there weren't many WR's left that had NFL potential at that point and we needed that guy so badly. Now Shorter is gone and we had to burn a 3rd round pick this draft to get Cooper for a handful of games which will turn out to be a wasted trade. Eagles had a lot of nice draft picks that stepped up for them and it showed. Maybe this year we have that kind of haul with two 2nd rounders, two 4th and three 6th round picks. CMon Beaner!

Hey man, next year we get the one seed and its all a different post season.

We scored 30 pts a game and ranked 2nd in the league on offense. Certainly good enough to beat KC, Detroit and Baltimore because we beat all three. Offense comes down to QB and Oline. If those are solid then you don't focus resources there, you look at your defense who got happened to get slaughtered by Detroit, KC, Balt, even Miami and you see some holes. When people say "we need someone who can command a double team" I say Why? We had a better offense without Diggs. Is that really what you take away from watching this season? I saw a team that forced zero punts against Baltimore and could not stop anyone on 3rd down most games and all teams on their first drive seemed to just walk down the field and spot themselves 7 points. Beaner needs to go for Crosby or Garrett. We will be past Diggs and Von's cap hits. Make it happen.

Yeah and the ball bouncing off Diggs neck on a perfectly thrown bomb last year and then Kincaids arms this year. Two normally sure handed dudes had chances to come up big for this team on game changing grabs and couldn't pull it off. Listening to a podcast interview w Kurt Warner he was putting some heavy blame on Brady for play calling on that last drive, especially the 4th down play. He says when you don't know where the blitz is coming from but you expect it, then you always split receivers to each side (not 3 and 1) and leave your RB in to protect and/or squirt out for a quick toss. He said stuff like that makes him want to be an OC. Lets face it, Brady learned a lot this year, he's still pretty green. We saw it in the Houston game when he called pass plays from the end zone vs a 5 man box, and the Rams game was poorly managed as well. Glad we have the guy, but all the talk about him somehow being an offensive genius is way overblown.

Two dumb penalites in the biggest game of the year. Yeah we need that kind of quality player

Not against man coverage that's for sure. He can be a zone beater if he works hard and find a role there because of his catch radius and body, but that dude is gonna have to really work his tail off and train with the right cats in the off season.

Dissecting drafts is ridiculous. Everybody misses on picks and hits on others, including KC who lost six games last year. And quit pretending Worthy and his 3.4 catches per game average is some kind of powerhouse. We took Coleman and Dewayne Carter from that trade, I'll take my chances and see where they're all at in 5 years. We're evenly matched teams obviously. 4-4 going into the other night, we had the ball with 3:30 left and two timeouts and had already scored our usual 30 pts per game which is far better than KC has done this year. Our normally reliable TE dropped a ball that hit him in the arms, much like Diggs dropped a game changer off his neck last year. Last time we played the Chiefs we won by multiple scores and the last time we played in Arrowhead we beat them. Quit whining about how much better than us the Chiefs are. We're evenly matched teams. Flip a coin, sometimes you get four heads in a row and sometimes you get four tails in a row. Its how sports works. We beat a better team in Baltimore and lost to an evenly matched team in KC. We will be favored against them when we play next year just like we were this year in Buffalo. That's not checkers and chess its a great rivalry, the best in a long time.

Looks slow. But so do almost all TE's Gronk looked like a lineman running around out there, but those taller dudes are striders (like Josh) and they can deceive you with how much ground they're covering. People take bad angles on long legged players.
