That's like saying Taylor Swift and I are selling albums. "We" are, but I've sold none and she sells a billion.

The big people packages on both sides of the ball showed out today. Shaq and Dorian were solid if not good at lb, the DL were a disgusting batch of yetis and even without Oliver if we get sanders and DQ back it's a problem for opponents. On on the 2 and 3 te packages just embarrass guys out there. Gilliam is a top flight thumper. Allen kinda sucked for him, but the only running back in the NFL who is better than cook is Taylor in Indy, and our overall power package is better. I think mad max and Hancock showed a lot of juice on d (and the boy Hoyt obv). 7 has obviously lost a step, but assuming we can work out the youthful mistakes, a fast and hungry secondary is a big upgrade Lastly, this d looks so so much better without Bernard and rapp. Those two guys have really sucked this season

He tore his biceps, he's done.

Remember when people said Hoyt would not be good for us?

Well, I figured we should win this one in a laughter. It's not over yet, but this is a real get right game

MCD is straight up calling the d. They showed him over and over.

Did they announce that MCD is calling plays? Cuz he is

That was fricken disgusting. Great blitz beater. I credit myself and the other haters on the board for bullying Brady into calling a better game

I've torn both my biceps, looks like Oliver is done for the season, and maybe w the bills. We are down our starting Dts, and the top rookie pick dt is hurt too. Sucks. D line is playing great tho, huge impact on this game. Something interesting to me is how much the team is platooning every defensive position, platooning cb2, safety, nickel, whooe dl, and lb.

That was a solid defensive series

41 delivered the wood on that block, and our clown kicker misses the xp

We were a bit lucky w the drop but Carolina has been rabbit foot lucky w the illegal formation call and the false starts against us. Anyhow, our big personal is putting us in a good position, we need to execute on pass and run to get a tub on this next drive.

Should be 14-0 and taking them out of the run via game script. Brady and this o make just too many unforced errors

Same stuff again, unprepared stupid players. Why is Samuels there in 3rd and sneak? He's not involved

Ugh!

Olsen pointer out Dawkins blocked out to in instead of in to our, I think that was a total breakdown on the left side, could be either or both, but just amature stuff in week 8

Well, it was swiss cheese until the turnover, basically how McD draws it up lol

Allen is a notch below the last 3 games and that drive. Also, on him or not, the pass protection is awful. That wasn't a blitz in any meaningful sense, a guy was lined up between two old and no one blocked him. Either Allen is too dumb too see it, or our o is too predictable, but at the end of the day this is the third game in a row where we are cheeks on 3rd and long and it's on Brady to fix it

What's the longest a Mcd d has gone without forcing 1+ turnovers in consecutive games? I'm actually fairly confident that we will get this back on track

KC sent high picks for various failed wrs from other teams and traded their best for a 1st (and more) and he had a like 1600 yard season for the fish. It's fine, losing what should be a 3handle pick is not so much to lose to get a high quality talent with problems on a cheap contract. We have our wr dollars in shakir, Samuel, and Palmer (that's like 30mm a year) and they barely produce (heck, two of them are hurt). Sometimes these guys need a change of scenery and I'm sure getting targets from Josh in the playoffs will excite whatever love this kid still has for football. I just read mad max will be playing, along w the roid champions. If Milano and Bernard can get health, along w dq, that's a ton less holes on the d. Throw in this kid on o and kinkaide back, and all of a sudden the talent level of this team is HUGELY improved over what we had vs ATL.

Rapp and Tre out for Max and Hancock is a lot of rookies but a lot of speed and athleticism in the back end. Maybe we can play man and use our suddenly kinda deep and talented front to creat pressure

I think mean and mc derm would be a good combo Guy is a wizard getting backs, tight ends, and crazy formations to work. They would be the exciting but also ball control hero o we need but don't deserve

True, but that's an insane move. I guess it would be possible if they took ladd thinking he's too talented to pass up, and then after his first year see he's better than shakir so let shakir walk, but I wonder if they'd even give him snaps w shakir being the senior guy. I really think our to just has their guys and basically marry them

i see this as a shadow benching. rapp lost his courage, i think the concussions have him doubting if he want's to play or not. mcd will not tolerate that, so he made a drastic move. i really really hope hancock ends up being a total db gem. gosh we could use it.

so i hate seeing josh look sad and lost as we lose, gotta be the worst thing. that said, i remember when we ditched dorsey for brady (good move). our like yards and points per game were almost exactly the same after. we just had fewer turnovers and ran more and passed less. also, i read that josh has like the exact same (to two decimal places) EPA per play this year as last year through this many games. this is with kinkaid emerging as more or less the best TE in football so far, and cook being a savage monster. and our record is what, exactly what it was last year at this time, with almost the exact same two crummy losses with the d folding and the O losing the plot? while how the points and yard happen change, and we have our good games and bad, the actual consistency of our O and josh is actually insane. if he's healthy we have just as good of a shot or better as we had in seasons prior. more than any other, i think this seasons is on our coaching staff -- they will either ascend and show that they are elite or they will falter and remove all doubt that we need to move on.
