As bad as it is when the GM and coach aren’t in sync, it also can become dysfunctional when the GM and coach have too much faith in each other. Beane surely thought his coaches would overcome the glaring weaknesses on the roster and largely sat on his hands and re-signed their own players instead of upgrading the roster and patching the holes. A little tension between the coaches and the GM can help move things forward.
Again: all of the problems in the roster that were obvious to everyone with a brain are displaying themselves today. McKenzie should never have been the answer at returner. The guards are terrible. The d-line is soft. This was all apparent in April and again in October and the FO did next to nothing about it.
Oddly they seem more careful with soft tissue injuries than bone-related maladies. They almost ALWAYS err on the side of shutting the player down if it’s a muscle thing.
STRONG late November entry for Worst Thread of 2021.
Stupid and incorrect half-take with no thought or punctuation.
Only thing missing was “here me out”.
Well done.
This is the Colts' Super Bowl, they HAVE to win this game to stay in the hunt, plus they'll still be salty from last year's playoff loss. Bills will need to bring their A-game for sure. Can't sleepwalk through entire halves on offense this week.
The Jets took Darnold over Allen and Q Williams over Oliver - I like Q but Oliver almost single-handedly wrecked the Jets’ offense today.
Can’t be fun being a Jets fan right now.
