It’s more a matter of there being some injury every season. My personal opinion is that it’s irrelevant in deciding to bring Milano back, but it may influence guaranteed money and/ incentive and bonus money. More than anything else I’d like to see them bring Milano back and get a solid LB with a similar skill set so the defense doesn’t fall apart if he goes out. This team is at the point where a loss or two can dramatically influence playoff positioning. LB depth was a serious issue at the beginning of this season.

They might need to look at Bobby Johnson & Daboll’s’ blocking schemes and play designs as well. It seems like there are a few issues besides just a lack of talent at play. As much as I’ve been down on Ford all year, I do recall the Rams moving Donald around because Ford managed to stonewall him. It may be that our Oline talent isn’t reaching its potential, and that’s on coaching.

The bolded is the only reason why resigning Milano to a hefty contract isn’t a no brainer. Availability has been a serious issue with him. All of the other arguments against resigning him are exaggerations at best. The only question is wether or not this team can afford to gamble a lot of cap space on his health.

I don’t think there’s enough talent on the roster at the correct places to beat the chiefs. This defense desperately needs an elite pass rusher and someone in the secondary with serious speed to compete in games like this. We don’t have anyone on the DL that automatically commands double teams on every play. Plus this defense can’t reliably use man coverage without having one player that can cover speed deep.

I’m not going to gripe on the refs, and I like officials allowing guys to play. That said, not calling player safety penalties leads to things like that skirmish at the end of the game. Let’s hope the new found bad blood inspires guys to work harder in the off-season and play with more attitude next season.

We play TB in t he SB and McD needs to tell the officials that he’ll put them in a sleeper hold if they call the game like this

Anyone know if Pep Hamilton lost his job when Lynn got fired?

Smart move with Allen and the weapons here. It’s likely quicker path to a HC job than going somewhere else.

It tends to happen with strong armed QBs that can (and will) sling the ball into unexpected areas from unusual angles. Losing that little bit of reaction time causes the drops. Fortunately, our guys have the benefit of practicing against Allen, so they may be a bit more prepared for that than most teams. As an aside, I would love to see that statistic with Favre.... or maybe a long video of all Favre’s dropped interceptions. I certainly remember a few that just straight up went through a DBs hands and hit them in the face mask.

And perhaps the biggest pro bowl snub of all.... Their center, Corey Lindsey, didn’t make the pro bowl despite being a first team all pro this year. Pro Bowl fan voting is a damn joke at best. To look at that Oline honestly, it’s two first team all pros at LT & center, and a young probowler who will likely be an all pro in another couple years. Jenkins is a beast. To the OP. As for drafting a RB in the first.... we’re drafting 30th-32nd ATM without some trade. Harris and Etienne will likely be gone by then along with the top pass rushers. For a RB the Bills will likely be looking at guys like Javonte Williams at our draft position. Might just be better to take a lineman, DB, or LBer. Maybe we’ll get lucky and have someone like Marvin Wilson fall into our laps though. Who knows. Covid is likely to make the whole 2021 draft process unusual.

Hollywood agents are very accustomed to lower money deals. They negotiate them quite often, especially when it improves the clients brand and future value. All those art films, side projects, and tv cameos don’t pay the big bucks. What they’re brilliant at is finding extra avenues for revenue, and they’re willing to adapt to attain long term goals and rebrand clients. All that said, I doubt Allen takes some major hometown discount without other factors.... Major endorsement deal (think nba $$$), fully guaranteed contract, etc.

I don’t think it matters. In either case there will be folks using in some negative connotation. Didn’t play Mahomes, Mahomes was hiding injury, etc. Only way they won’t talk smack afterwards is to beat Brady or Rodgers afterwards in a blowout.

It certainly didn’t take them long to morph into a redux of pats fans. As this team gets more successful we should endeavor to be more like Packers fans and less like the Jackson Pollock styled excrement found on a gas station toilet. 😉

I’m just not sure that he will just take any HC job offered. He may fall into the camp that thinks it’s better to be more selective. Particularly since he’s apparently already had a conversation (not interview) with the Seahawks about their OC opening. He may very well opt to take a step back, work with a legit top QB, and then take a better HC opportunity in the future. https://www.google.com/amp/s/theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2021/01/16/seahawks-interest-doug-pederson-offensive-coordinator-russell-wilson-input/amp/

Maybe. He might not want to go to a dysfunctional franchise though.

Just gonna link to the SI article since I didn’t see it linked in this thread and folks are referencing it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2021/01/16/texans-chaos-deshaun-watson-unhappy-how-jack-easterby-kept-his-job

See. I just keep forgetting that I already drank a beer. My lagging memory hasn’t been kind to my waistline.

Colinsworth and Michaels have gotten substantially worse. If I had to guess at why, I’d posit that Michaels is slowing down with age and not retaining information as well as he used. The result is CC failing at holding up the broadcast like Michaels used to. The leading questions and commentary that kept CC on point and interesting is mostly gone now.

National media has certainly disregarded how this was a top 5 defense going into the season and how injuries were largely responsible for many of the early issues. Probably won’t hear much about not being able to stop the run this week. Props to OP..... NAILED IT.

I’d imagine that Dorsey and Pederson are at the top of McD’s list.

They could probably replace Roman with Lynn.

Löwensenf Extra. 😉 By moving goalposts you mean choke-slammed through a flaming table by Bruce after an AFCCG win, right?

Better to run floods or rubs and try to create intermediate openings

They wrote the book. Titan etc just copied it

They should at least run Diggs full speed across the formation for the fake so the possibility of a WR sweep is there on the fake.
