***** football, gain 20 yards of field position instead of letting a damn good FG kicker have a shot at a makable kick.

Wtf… jets

Agreed.

They have one in Harris, refuse to let him touch the ball.

Cleveland is somehow, someway, not being blown out.. wild.

In fairness, those were runs late in the game when the D was shot. They still count, but the D was on the field entirely too long for the game.

I have to agree. Put simply, it seems like the GM and the coaches have never been on the same page here. I actually feel that’s more of a problem with the structure of power in the organization. The GM SHOULD have the power to fire the coach, because he doesn’t, they run on parallel tracks, never forced to be accountable to the other. How many times have we seen the GM draft/sign players and the coaches refuse to use them to their strengths or at all? It’s insane. Easy ones, Elam, not a scheme fit. AJE, power rusher, try to make him a speed guy, when his lack of speed was the reason he fell in the draft. Now I’ll give it to them, after 3 years, he’s had a productive game, so MAYBE that one will be ok. To follow that with Drafting 2 DEs in a row, to have one be inactive all year, later shipped out for a bag of chips… Cook, pass catcher that never gets thrown to, Kincaid, Knox, all big moves for street FA production. It makes NO sense.

He doesn’t look athletic.. yet he is. He’s going to be a very rich man for what will amount to a 7 year career. I can’t imagine anybody is going to sign him after they cut him I before the 2025 season.

Fixed your run on for you. He built a dynasty, his systems crushed the NFL for years, his decisions as GM have ultimately crushed their chances of winning again.

I don’t agree that he doesn’t have anything between the ears, it was pretty widely pushed that he was quite smart coming out of Florida… that said, he isn’t getting it for us. Either he just can’t handle the zone scheme, which does take a little more on the fly recognition than “cover that guy” or he has done something to piss McD off for the ages. I can’t imagine what he could have done to get no PT with all that physical ability. It’s a mystery to me, all I know is the Chiefs completely F’d us by taking McDuffie and leaving us with what appears to be a panic pick.

I’m with you on this. If Ford can be at least good against the run, the DL might not be too bad. I could see it working out ok actually. Ford on running downs, and shifting Groot inside along with Oliver or Phillips on obvious pass situations, let him eat, he kills interior linemen. You can run AJE, Von, etc on the ends to create havoc. It’s not full panic on the DL YET. LB is a HUGE concern to me. I like Williams, I’m willing to wait and see and you simply cannot replace one of the best in the business mid-season, so you don’t really have a choice. Kinda interested to see if Kirksey changes his mind or if we really are going to roll with Klienability out there. CB is also a worry, but we have seen the ability to roll w out Tre before, it’s not ideal, but as long as Benford is good to go, it’s not the end of the world. They definitely got it handed to them last week.. btw Ridley for at worst a 5th and a second? Where were ya there Beaner?

No, he’s really not.

I’ll pass, plenty of talent at DE, desperately need an interior presence.

Feliciano was also a shell of himself when he came back. As much as I’d love to have Jones back out there, not if he’s not back to himself, just not worth it. Honestly, this season is over for the SB hopes, the defense just doesn’t have the players anymore and the offense isn’t good enough to consistently cover for it. It sucks to admit it’s another year of Allen wasted, but when you lose all that talent, there is nothing you can do.

Remind us all, how many SB wins has Beane gotten us?

Barring major injuries, nobody is competing w the 49ers. The Bills season ended today. This was a Championship or bust season, all hopes went out the window with Milano and Jones down for the year and Dorsey still at PC for the year.

Have to think you are right on that.

That was an awful flag on their JA.. but man that TD is welcomed.

Omg, you have to be kidding

These refs are special

The only way I can see the Broncos letting him go is for a gross over compensation, which might let them in the QB sweepstakes. You don’t let good young players on a cheap deal go.

Having been there, it sucks the moment it happens, the moment it goes back in and about 3 days after… and then any time there’s anything that rattles the joint for about a month. If he’s playing without a shot in the joint the next 2 weeks, he’s a bad man… or it didn’t actually pop out.

I don’t care what anyone says, that’s a trade I would have made in a heartbeat. He’s got talent, if this locker room is as strong as we are lead to believe, why couldn’t we take him on? He would be a decent outside WR option, of which we have exactly 2 on the roster. Low risk, stupid high reward potential.

The down side, Groot is absolutely elite at run defense, AJE is borderline awful. I’d expect Lawson to get some major reps this week as Etienne is a guy that can take it to the house the minute he breaks contain. Good news, the line has depth, there’s definitely a fall off, but you are handing off responsibility to another 1st round pick, so it’s not like it’s massive gap.

I don’t really expect them to make it 4, traveling across the pond to meet a team that’s been there for 2 weeks and isn’t a bad team in their own right, is a tall ask. Should they win? Yep. By 28? That’s going to be tough.
