I for one am glad we maximized our special team play vs the Bengals. We might have lost if the ST unit didn’t deliver.

Superbowl?

Which isn't good enough and also not worth the huge cap dollars he's taking up....

This is just factually inorrect. Our franchise QB hasn't been "paid that way" for the last 3 seasons. His contract hasn't even started yet. Our defense has been annihilated in our last 3 playoff losses. So they have BEEN terrible without salary cap restrictions from the QB for the last 3 seasons. So they will likely be even worse going forward. If our plan is "our young guys have to improve" we are so ***** *****.

So you're predicting that Von will be a JAG next year then?

I’d rather them trade picks for players. If we are hoping day 2 WR’s save us next year, we are gonna be miserable.

We are drafting a safety. Be ready.

I’m sure he is involved. I don’t think he can take over like he does on defense. Because he’s a defensive coach. And it’s his defense. It’s not his offense. He doesnt have an offense

So McD used to coach defense. They run "his" defense. So him taking over defensive playcalls is not the same as taking over offensive playcalls.

Does this happen? Did Andy Reid ever step in and make defensive changes if his defense was playing like crap? Never ever heard of that happening in the NFL. John Harbaugh didn't make Greg Roman change his offense. They just fired him. So I'm not sure where you're getting the "just force it man!" They are endorsing Dorsey (lol) likely because Josh likes him, he runs an offense that Josh is comfortable with in regards to terminology, and because they think he can get better.

I mean Christian Benford and Dane Jackson being even "able to start NFL games" from a talent evaluation and development perspective is pretty impressive. Milano went from 5th round pick to All-Pro. Tre was a star out of the box until he got hurt. Poyer and Hyde were bargain FA's who became stars. Levi Wallace the UDFA started on this team and held his own. You can argue that it wasn't good enough, and in a lot of examples, I would agree. Especially at the most important defensive position (pass rush). But I think they are still pretty good talent evaluators.

Philly has the horses. They had the horses in 2017 as well. We haven't had the horses since 2014.

Yes. Dorsey is to blame. This is the biggest difference between Dorsey and Daboll. People forget, Isiah McKenzie was nothing in the league until Daboll got a hold of him. He was a speedy flawed player, a fifth round pick cut from the team that drafted him. What did Daboll do with a speedy threat on a team that only had John Brown as a burner? He put him on the field. He put him in motion. He did end-arounds, end-around fakes to screen passes or runs the other way. He did the jet motion touch pass crap the Chiefs did with Hill. He added another wrinkle that defenses had to account for, and that they had to watch out for when rushing the passer. They crashed a little bit less hard think McKenzie could come around the edge and get 12 because of how fast he was. McKenzie went from out of the league, to a gadget utility #5 WR. He was used by his great OC to IMPROVE the offense. He didn't get the ball 100 times (nor was he annihilating defenses when he did), but he was a huge part of gameplans, of setting up things for later in the season, for slowing down pass rushers, etc. What did Kenny D do with a similar player in Hines? Swing routes, and check downs. Zero motion. Zero threat to touch the ball. When people talk about Andy Reid and KC, they talk so much about "scheming guys open." Usually in the context of downfield. Honestly, that gives too much credit to Reid, and too little to stars like Kelce. What Andy Reid does VERY well is design plays that are EASY. Easy yards. The jet touch pass. Motioning McKinnon to pirouette in the backfield (who has taken on the gadget role from Tyreek) prior to catching a quick ball for 7 yards and a first. This year, we have had no easy plays. No money plays. We got yards and points because Josh is awesome. And that's why when you watch KC you see just how easy it is for them to create drives, and you watch our offense and it looks like they are trying to push a boulder 80 yards down the field. Ken Dorsey sucks. It sounds like they are keeping him, so I hope he gets better, because he actually sucks right now.

1. Not sure Beane can justify paying Singletary a dollar at this point. 2. We signed Saffold, extended Bates, re-signed Boettger. Now, Saffold was the worst FA OL signing the Bills ever had, Bates played worse than his "average" play at LG last year, and Boettger never got on the field, but it WAS addressed. It will just need to be addressed AGAIN. 4. This is really the biggest "need" the Bills have. Josh's WR group has gotten depleted since his best season (2020) and we ended up having to go back to the well of the washed guys from that year in order to try to salvage it. It's no surprise to anyone (except maybe Beane) that correlation of Josh having Diggs/Brown/Davis/Beasley/McK to Diggs/washed Emmanuel Sanders/Davis/McK to Diggs/Davis/Kumerow/Crowder//McK/washed Brown/washed Beasely has resulted in a worse looking offense. Now we are pigeon-holed into a stark need at WR, with eyes on either a highly drafted rookie WR contributing right away or some cheaper FA coming in and producing. Hurts especially worse that Isaiah Hodgins was a key contributor somewhere else.

Your link even says he was AP-2 in 17 and 21.

The problem is we didn't plan to replace those guys. The WR group just got worse and worse and now we are stuck needing to restock the cupboard. If your team is signing RETIRED players to start in playoff games, your teams WRs suck.

They have the most cap space in the league and no one to spend it on. They aren't going to get a player in the 4th round better than Oliver. If he has a solid year, they can extend him at a reasonable salary. If he plays like a top 10 pick is supposed to, they can pay him the big bucks. It makes total sense.

Is anybody going to take into account that we are all ***** sick and tired of waiting 9 years for any of our draft picks to turn into something they are never going to be? If I was the GM of the Bears? Yes. Why not?

Daily reminder that @Tipster19 and @T master are the same person with split personalities.

They made the Super Bowl last year.

Yes

DM me jboy

We have two. We planned for 4. Next season we may have 3.
