In Summary

Yes. Falling in love with players and trading up hasn't yielded better results than letting the draft fall to us naturally IMO. QB is the only position that justifies bundling picks.

"I am here to watch a game. " Well said.

More so than Jets, Giants, Titans.

Dallas will be a challenging road game.

Clear PI against Giants receiver. Challenged and call withheld. NFL has no interest in reversing calls.

Was rooting for Indy and coach Reich. Close game.

Because they are pro athletes and have no interest in following the "plan" to tank.

Defense: Have to figure out a better role for Edmunds. Offense: Allen is not a running back.

When you don't have a Bruce Smith, you Tre.

I can't stop watching Edmunds.

No interceptions or fumbles by Allen.

Unlikely to see the degree of turnover the OP suggests. Next season, there will inevitably be players playing in positions that will frustrate fans. We'll talk about getting two new tackles but will end up getting one that is better and hope that is enough to stabilize the line. We'll want Ford out of the RT position but they'll either see progression or move him to guard and we'll hope they are correct. No way you blow up the roster at this point. It's continual incremental improvement at this point. Add an impactful RT, WR, and DE and you've got a substantially better team IMO.

I see it as a "we can collectively do better and need not be impulsive" statement. It's not a papal decree. Just a challenge to do better.

I think McDermott would fess up to Benjamin if asked directly.

Maybe Daboll doesn't believe this team can (?) which would be a shame. However, I can believe that Daboll just went to the well one to many times and got slapped into reality regarding who should be running the ball.

Hypnotizing stutter step.

IMO, it's really just the teams with a franchise/reliable starter QB that can afford to trade away picks IAW the article's main points. Otherwise, picks are still coveted as a team stockpiles them to draft at the top.

The narrative persists in part because we didn't throttle the Dolphins.

Blue >> Red

B

I so agree. Only give two 1st round picks for a QB and only because of the absolute necessity of having a top 16 QB if you want to be a contender. Poor use a draft capital by LA IMO.

Then go to YouTube a few hours later and watch the 8-10 minute highlight clip put out by the NFL..........free of needless commentary.

No. OTs are rare enough that I prefer not to have a carnival game decide the winner.

Does Perry have the ability to contribute as a runner if called upon?

I'm happy that the GM/Coach can admit when they don't hit on a draft pick. Now I'm wondering if Beane will still fall in love with certain prospects and continue to bundle picks and trade up? -Zay was a good guy so of course, best of luck.
