Bring it

That’s where I would start but if the chance to draft or acquire a special talent at a key position comes you have to take it imo! Those players are also key and probably what the current team needs. Qb is a special position that must be addressed! You need a good one to be a perennial contender! When that happens in a rebuild isn’t as important as making sure it at least does happen!!!

I agree totally! Josh has an elite arm as far as strength and has shown plenty of touch and accuracy to warrant investment in his development. Yeah he has struggled with the deep ball but that will come. His strength is passing sideline to sideline and making a team pay when they ignore his mobility! He will get there! Are most fans willing to be patient enough to wait?

While I agree with the point of as Allen goes so does the team it’s not all on him. Execution and a couple more playmakers would help matters! The Pats have been a great team seemingly forever largely because of Brady and Belichick. But the rest of the team executes at a high level consistently! Blocking and tackling the basics of the sport are done pretty much game in and game out at a high level! Something that up to this point we haven’t achieved. Mcd preaches the process and part of that process is getting there. Hopefully he can keep the belief of his players long enough to achieve that!? But yeah Allen’s continued development is key to how far this team goes!!! Imo we need to make the playoffs if for no other reason but to keep the players invested in this process!! Once Allen matures ,these young players develop and we add a few more playmakers we could be a dominant team for many years!!!

It’s puzzling, Foster does give more of a deep threat than Williams. But the offense is better overall with Duke as a 3rd receiver. Another weapon besides the TEs. Better in the run game as well!

Plus they were facing Fletcher Cox. When he’s dialed in Cox is one of the best!

Yes and I think he is only scratching the surface of his potential! So glad we have him!! Thanks for that info! Not always as things seem!

What’s difficult to see in these videos is the push that the offensive line gets. It’s makes a huge difference to a linebacker if the DL is getting pushed back even a little. The angles are dramatically different and not in a positive way for the linebacker! Much easier for the runner to find a lane!! In the second video without knowing the defensive call IMO Hyde got sucked in too far and couldn’t recover but I will say that Milano was too easily blocked too I wonder if this isn’t why Taylor was brought in and Peko released? Also Oliver saw far fewer snaps last week. Maybe he is dinged up some, but we wouldn’t know that!

My question is our offensive line that good and just had a bad day against the eagles or are they overrated?

I wouldn’t complain one bit

Cleveland doesn’t seem to be on paper the potential threat that Philly was. Even if they play with desperation. But, they still have talent especially at rb! A definite weakness for our defense! Like they all say “ it’s tough to win in the NFL” or “any given Sunday “! This team needs to take the next step offensively and actually play a full game. Maybe not necessarily to beat Cleveland, but with games coming up against Pittsburgh, Dallas, Baltimore and NE, we will need an effective offense to win. I thought we would need to score more than 24 points to beat Phil’s and actually it ended up being 31 but you can see my point here! In short it really depends on how we play more than any of our opponents!!

The last game was really lost in the trenches!! It’s not all on Josh or just a few players!

Yep, wildcard team is where I felt we are! The big key is if the team gets better as the season goes on so that we can make a run once we get to the playoffs! Josh played better than many are giving him credit. He is improving but it takes time!

This loss was not on Josh, I was impressed by his decision making. Yeah the fumble hurt, but it didn’t change the game as some have suggested! We lost in the trenches, plain and simple!! Everything else is a product of that. Daboll tried to run the ball on the replacement DTs and it didn’t work! Seemed like there wasn’t a plan b or c after that!? Not sure, but it’s hard to run with no push from the o-line. Eagles are still a talented team and they came as if the season was on the line! Still feel we are a playoff team but if Josh continues to develop that would be a much bigger thing IMO!!!

This will be a hard fought contest!! Philly is desperate to steal a win that could be crucial to their season. If Milano is back that will help a lot! But I get the feel that this is a game that the offense needs to show up more to win. I think we will need 24+ points to win. They still have a lot of talent offensively . Given their run defense Allen needs to have a good game!!

IMO Gore is a lock first ballot HOF!! But, maybe we should just win him a Super Bowl to make sure!!

Nice read! But, If the Lord calls me home today; Bruce Smith was the greatest DE of all-time!!!

During the game I thought Phillips had celebrated too early but the replay changed my opinion. Great play! Man we needed that!!

I thought the same thing. A first class answer and the thing is, I think he means it!

You could be right! I don’t know about winning the division but hosting a wild card game is a definite possibility! With a great defense, which travels well usually. We could conceivably get to the AFC championship! What a great way to stick it to the Pats but to beat them to advance to the Super Bowl!! One can dream can’t I?

True enough! It was nice to see us play the Pats tough even though their oline was banged up.

Partly the reason that the Jets, Titans and Bengals are on the bottom 5 is because they played against our defense!

Enjoy!! Bill’s Mafia!!!

I voted the Titans as #6 team! They have a pretty decent team. Good D and don’t make a lot of mistakes on offense. They could be a hard out in the playoffs! They need a kicker!!

I agree! For now I can live with the one bad play a week. I didn’t really feel that pick was as bad as the ones against NE. But they are a better defense also. Patience is the word for now! Let’s see what we have after he has had 2 1/2 to 3 years of starts! He’s worth the wait considering what his ceiling could be. Also considering that will give the offense more time to gel and catch up to the defense! This team could be scary good!!

When you really consider it, how much different is a 4.3 from a 4.66? Obviously, .4 seconds in 40 yards. Not much really. How many times does a Qb get 3 and a half seconds to throw considering flight time of the ball? It’s much more important to have good route running techniques and great hands!! Duke’s size and physicality are a help too! He looks like a baller to me!!!
