Honestly, I’m not so sure that Beane has actually hit on any stars - Cook might get there - other than Allen. The only other players from the McBeane era that hit a star level were drafted before Beane got here - Tre White, Dawkins, Milano. Aside from Cook, the only guys Beane has drafted that look like they could potentially be top 5 at their position are Spencer Brown, Torrence, and Groot… and Groot looks like he’ll never be a top pass rusher without help on the D-line despite being a dominant run defender at his position. This team needs a dominant 1-tech like Dexter Lawrence or a dominant LDE like Garret, Hendrickson, etc to get guys like Oliver and Groot the 1 v 1’s they can reliably win. I agree that it’s worth some serious investment in cap and or draft capital to make that happen. As long as Allen is healthy this team isn’t going to draft in the top 20, so it’s trade, FA, or a red flag draft gamble to procure the physical talent needed there.

It’s a distraction. The bonus talk is pushing a narrative that the players won’t tank because they have money on the line. I’m not sure if it’s the extra game, or the lack of the extra playoff bye. They probably could fix it a bit by slotting home field to record instead of division winners. At least this Vikings/Lions game should be good because it’s for all the marbles.

Hence the “if”. Beating them is certainly possible though, especially if Allen is on fire and Modkins starts to neglect prioritizing Henry. Might take an early jump like this team got on Detroit though.

That asterisk gets avoided if we beat Baltimore in the playoffs….

Try goldschlager… makes everyone question the gold flakes the morning after. 😅

I kind of hope he doesn’t win it, but wins the SB and SB MVP after beating KC and Balt in the playoffs…. Then rocks that medallion during the SB postgame interviews…. and anytime the medallion is mentioned JA17 says, “Talk to my O-line.” Just win the ring and diss the AP afterwards.

I might. I have a cabin in NC, my family is spread through there and southern VA. The lady’s family is spread in SC and N. GA…. Might be a good week to visit folks and catch the game.

Just running out clock…

Mossed….

Refs are making for some excellent programming. I love the expanded role for the soap opera.

All I know is that if this team goes through Baltimore and KC and then wins the SB…. JA17 will have earned the right to walk onto the set of any ESPN talk show, drop trow, and tell every commentator to kiss his 🫏. 😆

I sincerely hope that’s the case and he can flip a switch come playoff time.

The largest problem is likely DQ’s decline. This defense needs a consistently above average performer at 1T to function properly, especially with undersized players (Oliver, Bernard) close to the ball.

IDK. They seem to be attacking Von with those screens.

Thank god

Because he get paid to hype up the fans

Good job Von…. 🙄

He’s always been like that. The guy never truly matured after getting to the league like most top QBs.

Beat both and win the SB and JA17 might leapfrog Mahomes after the season he’s had.

Seems to me that a lot of those choices may have been requested by the coaching staff - be it offense or ST - or bottom of the WR room fliers. Samuel certainly seems like a Brady request due to previous success…. Who knows though. That said, Harty, Mathews, and Crowder were duds aside from a punt return touchdown. Also…. If you’re gonna throw in trades (K Benjamin) you should include Diggs. Same goes towards Smoke 1.0 and Beasley 1.0 if you’re including the 2.0 resigning versions.

Sweet Jebus!

Dropping dreds for the TD!!!!

Well *****!

Press if you’re playing 2 deep please.

He said they called the guard for signaling the center to snap the call, and it was BS.
