Coach Tuesday

It’s the Grand Finale of the insane fireworks display.

Yeah imma go ahead and judge you.

OMG the QAnon/4Chan/Bmore Bill zombies created a subreddit? Good riddance to that slovenly band of mouth-breathing “Truthers.” They can have their own forum to discuss Obama’s birth certificate and the people Hillary and Bill had murdered. I’ve barely visited this forum in 2020 because of how insufferable it became. A pure troll convention. Glad it may be changing. As for the election, I didn’t vote for Joe Biden. I voted against Donald Trump. And I’m pissed the Republicans made me do it. I don’t want my taxes to go up. I don’t think Progressive policies help the people they claim to help. But enough was enough. The evil demon needed to be shoved back into the sewer and I felt it was my moral duty to help stand on the manhole. What struck me about the election generally was how few people actually changed their mind about anything. They didn’t. 70 million people voted for Trump despite everything - COVID, his horrific personality, the constant dysfunction in his cabinet, his utter refusal to ever take the high road and lead, the so-called liberal media conspiracy to defeat him, etc., none of that made the slightest dent in getting anyone who voted for him in 2016 to change their mind. That’s probably because many of them didn’t go to college and lack critical thinking skills. What all of Trump’s antics did do was get others to turn out in record numbers. It was all about turnout. The issues didn’t even matter except to the extent they caused more turnout. This country is FUBAR’d. And I have real doubt that Weekend at Biden’s is going to fix it. Propping up a dead guy was a barely-successful campaign strategy but now the task turns to governing an impossibly divided nation, and you can be sure Trump will be instigating and spouting off conspiracies and lying every night on Hannity, meanwhile the economy is headed off a cliff. This is far from the end. But it may be the beginning of the End.

Um, the game?

Shoulder injury and John Brown being too hurt to move the safeties back has hurt more than the weather. Weather in Green Bay isn’t great either and that team has one good receiver and Rogers is shredding. Josh needs to battle through this stretch - a QB’s development is rarely linear.

Gotta agree with the last point. As negligent as they’ve been over the years with Wilson and Mahomes, there is no QB I’d rather watch on Sunday afternoons than Josh Allen. He’s a gift to Bills fans and we should enjoy it.

45-31

Watching Baldy is like watching NFL Primetime combined with a Slim Jim commercial.

McBeane finally gets his Drop Specialist!

Then they'll lose. They are going to give up points on defense and they need to score to win the game. What you're describing would be the KC game all over again. Daboll needs to do a better job of understanding big-picture situational football strategy. While running against a dime defense might be a good tactical decision, in a game where you need to score points it's not a plan that will work.

My biggest fear for this game is Daboll trying to outsmart himself and going run-heavy because “passing is just what they’d expect!” Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Am I having a brain malfunction or wasn’t the Davis non-TD the previous game??

I thought it was one of Allen’s best games despite the modest stat line. His vision, decision-making and understanding which plays to check into and out of continue to improve.

With respect I think that’s a cop out. The real problem, I suspect, is that Beane does not trust his own ability to scout (and/or to analyze the evaluations his scouts give him). And based on the results, he shouldn’t. I think he falls back on the Panthers’ pro personnel evaluations because they were done with McDermott/Rivera’s defense in mind and he doesn’t think he has to worry as much about fit that way. But the players in question have aged 2-5 years and the defense itself has gotten a bit stale. What this team needs is a fresh approach to college and pro scouting and a lot more self-scouting to understand why it’s defensive strategy has been figured out by offensive coordinators.

Rotoworld summed it up: The Titans came into the offseason desperate for pass-rushing help, but this signing seemed like a disaster from Day 1. Beasley was late to report to training camp and then proceeded to make just 3.0 tackles across five games. Tennessee is bottom-three in sacks (7.0) through eight weeks and still find Beasley worth releasing. He signed a one-year, $9.5 million contract this offseason.

He had a great game. Night and day from the Jets game.

Beane ain't getting that extension. At least not for awhile. They need to win a playoff game first and this roster might not do it.

He’s maybe worth a 4th. He simply has not produced enough and this year he developed a penchant for critical drops.

@JerseyBills coming in strong with a headline straight out of my mom’s Facebook feed (except her videos are of cats)!

Or to put it another way, receivers are rarely thrilled to be in a pass-averse offense, especially on their rookie deals.

Has he actually signed?

John Brown is seriously injured and it may be a season-long problem. Meyers was getting open mostly on play-action and/or blitz hot routes where the middle was open and he was running quick slants.

Totally agree. You throw a 7 yard hitch there for a manageable third down. Such a bizarre time to dial up a deep shot.

Seattle probably can go ahead and rest its punter next week.
