No_Matter_What

I will say this many times before the draft, but this is not happening. I can't guarantee we draft WR high this year, but I am pretty sure that it will be Beane's top priority. Front office sees what we see.

I might be naive but I think he told him go and win the whole damn thing. I think he has a soft spot for Josh and likes McD too.

Has your view on Douglas already changed?

Now imagine him and Milano next to each other playing in 2024 for defending SB champs

My expectations are low based on what I'm seeing from Von I know different players different injury different age. Great news!

My guess is that this is it for this week. Daquan won't play vs Pats and won't be on the roster. After the game they will decide what to do with Shorter and Jones. There might be injuries which will make things (unfortunately) easy. If nothing bad happens, my guess is that either Spector or (more likely) Jonathan will be released. Or Ford maybe.

Which is really sick, and tells you how big of a game Dolphins/Ravens is. If we get 2nd seed, PO will be something like Colts at home, Chiefs/Browns/Dolphins at home and AFCCG at Ravens. If we get 6th seed, PO will be something like Chiefs on road, Ravens on road and AFCCG at Dolphins/Browns. Quite a difference.

Agreed, after seeing that link I came to post the same thing. But I don't believe he'll sign for such a bargain. You will. I am pretty sure Beane will do a lot to draft WR in R1, but it obviously depends on where we draft and many other things. But he will want his WR. Personally if those top WRs are as good as advertised I'd be willing to trade up for next year's R1 pick to get one. But let's see how the season ends first.

Problem is that in order for us to win the division the Dolphins have to lose to Ravens, so Lamar will be 13-4 at worst and he'll get it.

Little OT here, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore since the point of this thread is dead anyway Based on your theory on 3 elite players, do we have a shot on SB right now? Since to me we have 2 difference makers right now - Allen and Oliver. Not sure we can count Diggs based on last weeks. So, we have a chance if Diggs performs on an elite level?

I was watching from 4th quarter, and I just rewatched those 7 seconds of beauty. I absolutely love that Chiefs lost (among other things) because of a stupid trick play which made no sense whatsoever - direct snap to RB who hands it over to Mahomes. Keep up the good work Andy.

Like you said, it's crazy. Go Ravens!

Interesting. After week 17 I'll tell you what I think. But I can imagine agreeing with this.

Didn't read the thread. I just want to say that I think he will be at least useful come playoff time and I definitely didn't give up on him. Give him time.

Once he made that 1st down they should've try to let him score.

Classic Dak, panic when it matters

I am getting myself ready for some classic Dak meltdown

Agreed, but they are not exactly powerhouse. They can definitely lose to anyone. And what I wrote was scenario how to clinch even before week 18. Even if we don't, and then we lose to Miami, there is another chance for Broncos (and not only them) to drop a game w18 and get us in.

If Texans and Colts lose today, we only need Broncos to lose one of next two and Bengals loss (vs Chiefs) and Steelers loss (at Seahawks) and we will clinch PO before week 18. So far so good. Edit: If Colts and Texans lose today only one of them can be ahead of us since they play each other week 18. Browns are the other secured WC. All others would have 8 losses so safely behind us once we beat the Pats.

8.5 sacks this year. Awesome extension.

Depends. There is somewhat realistic chance to clinch PO even before the game. It only takes: Beating the Pats. Bengals losing to Chiefs. Steelers losing at Seahawks. Colts losing either at Falcons or to Raiders. Texans losing either to Browns or to Titans. Broncos losing either to Patriots or to Chargers. All seem reasonable to me. I know Broncos seem unlikely but they are just an average team.

Agreed. It completely changed the game imo. He is completely useless on his returns. His only job should be to hold onto the ball and he failed miserably today. I'd bench him and find the way to get Shorter on the roster.

Davis, Shakir Bernard and one man wrecking crew Ed OLIVER. EDIT: Bass, Martin and Allen also

It's hard to win when you lose TO battle 0-3 but we just did it. Oliver and Bernard saved the day with huge sacks. Ugly win but still a win. 6 more to go.

Never had a doubt!
