I make @SDS an offer he can't refuse, then I slowly use TBD to brainwash Bills fans into thinking having a decade of playoff losses is better than a single Superbowl win.

Like most teams in the NFL. Bengals were bad enough to go #1 overall. So were the Jags. Chargers had a top 5 pick before Herbert. Etc etc etc.

Schnowman had more Athletic articles than good games this year.

A million puke emojis. A hot game in September? Missing NYE? GTFO.

Are you reading what I’m saying lmao

I don't. I reject the OP entirely saying "this is life with a franchise QB under a big contract," BECAUSE for the last 3 seasons, we HAVE NOT had a big franchise QB contract. And the team has not been good enough. Next year, the big contract DOES hit.

How do you contact players 100+ times a year and never rip the ball out lol. It’s almost unbelievable.

and more importantly, NEITHER UNIT WAS HAMSTRUNG BY A FRANCHISE QB CONTRACT.

2FF too in his career. Urlacher had 2 at 34 years old in his last season.

He's not even under contract, zero point zero chance of a position change. He will also definitely suck as a DE.

Mayer won’t last til 27. Also, not interested in another highly paid TE to not throw to. Fine. Another 3rd round RB will make my head explode. Fine. Fine. fine. Overall, would absolutely HATE this draft.

True, but you could argue that as well for the defense annihilating the Ravens that year.

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.
