I think Lynch is the only questionable thing there. A lot of the talk and recruitment comes directly from Shanny. The draft choices are directly the York’s and Lynch.

With this talent on the team there is absolutely zero excuse for being 9-8. But this is the NFL and several teams on our schedule have made presumptive improvements. Couple of slip ups or underwhelming performances and we could, tragically, be looking at 9-8 come season’s end. Do I think it happens? No. I believe it’ll be no less than a 11 win season but not by leaps and bounds.

Fair point but the statistics on defense say that he played on 98% of Atlanta’s defensive snaps last year with well over a third of them being in a passing (presumably nickel) personnel. It isn’t looking pretty with anything we have on the roster. A cast off isn’t going to be worse and for a defense that lines up in a pass defensive unit more often than not, the biggest changes are for those at the front for gap control and technique. I’d rather they exhaust all options. He produced in Atlanta last year and did collegiately. We’ve seen it in the past where we’ve struggled to get off the field or make stops at crucial times in crucial games with this core staff and roster… with the way the LB play is looking, that might be rearing it’s head again. I am not, like most fans I’m sure, asking not expecting an All-Pro LB to be slotted into the need we have but there has to be an upgrade out there these coming weeks who is available for the team.

Same can be said for Floyd… had no problem scooping him up for less of a pressing need.

So regarding linebacker, which is looking to be a serious need and potential problem for the year (outside Milano), is there anyone that is a potential cut we could pick up? I liked Rahsaan Evans coming out of Bama and figured he’d have a reasonable career but is a FA. What’s the deal there? He had a decent year in Atlanta in 2022… wants too much $$$???

Boogie making this team?

Man, I like Morris. Just don’t think there’s anything he does great which is what’s going to potentially keep him from making the final roster.

You’re absolutely right bro. A QB can carry and elevate a team. It’s no surprise that some coaches piggy back, stick around or find success because of the position. Roster talent was always an issue for a long period here. Think the nail is hit on the head when referencing what previous failed coaches could have done with these rosters and Josh… at the very least playoffs and crash.

Listen, I appreciate and like McD. I really do but the window is small and who knows how long our boy is going to be carrying the franchise before the possibility of QB purgatory comes back to Buffalo… If he has another failed and horrible exit from the playoffs or even misses it entirely, then you have to consider cutting ways with him. I’m not saying you do by any way shape or form just that you at least have to consider it. This IS a SB quality team with Josh at the helm. All possibilities must be examined before the team does in fact quit all together on not just the coach but one another.

Is that their new OC? Never heard of him.

Rashee Rice and Overshown were two prospects that I was hoping Buffalo would consider. Both are playing well for their respective teams two weeks in a row. 😔

They have Hackett. All will be fine…

A positive takeaway; There was only one mention of the McD/Tomlin William & Mary connection… 😮‍💨

Certainly looks like a lot of Cast Aways on the team.

So we all, unknowingly, have the same expression?

The Yinzers at work tomorrow are going to be insufferable. Can’t wait!

Hey Rocky Blier on the tv. Can we sign him???

Weird how a team with SB aspirations have LB questions and brought in two decent options in Cunningham and Jack. Would be nice to see.

This broadcast… ”Tough break for the Steelers…” WTF. They’re up 27-0 😂

Heard that before… It can indeed be worse. 😂🫠

Got to laugh at it brother. Nothing that can be done and it’s not a win or go home game for the team. 🤷‍♂️ The Bengals game was pathetic, almost as bad a no show and definitely not laughable. This? Ehhh.

Real question… can Peters even make it through a whole season if he has to be put in? That’s a tall order for a lot of guys on the older side of 30 years old. 40 y/o??? 😬

And you aren’t?

The good thing? This is showing us how bad the actual reserves and backups on this team can play… The bad thing? This is our backups and reserves… At least we know this now. Some people want to do away with these games completely. Cool, well this is what we would be going into the season with a little more blindly without them. 🤮

Jesus this is pathetic.
