reddogblitz Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'd take It a step further and say if we can stay relatively healthy we could be a contender now. Imo it all comes down to how improved our defense is, and I believe through scheme and coach change,they will vastly improve. A top 10 D combined with our Elite run game has always been a recipe for success in the NFL, through every era, including today's NFL, and we could realistically have both , I also have hope Taylor will improve his pass game but at the very least he will not lose us games Yeah!! I think our D will better. O has to be almost as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Call it a tank, call it a pseudo-tank, call it whatever you want ... they chose the wrong year to do it. Jets: utter disarray. Hackenberg is playing himself right out of the NFL. McCown is 37 and they don't want to be forced into starting him, but they now are; Bryce Petty showed something last night, then promptly suffered what looks like a serious knee injury. So we've got Cutler and McCown at the helm of 2 AFC East teams. That should be 4 wins out there for the taking! Yes, you've always got the Pats, but still ... one last run with the current (including Sammy and Darby) roster wouldn't have been a horrible idea, would it?

Seemed to make sense, but the staff wants 4-12 (though will pay lip service to making the playoffs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 @PFWeekly NFL clubs don’t tank seasons, and they never will, so stop with the insulting suggestion, says @greggabe: http://www.profootballweekly.com/lists/2017/08/28/685301550ac8427d82c89a20d1305070/index.xml?page=1 Over the past week or so, I have seen some NFL “analysts” suggest on Twitter that some clubs would “tank” the 2017 NFL season in order to get a shot at some of the supposed top quarterbacks in the 2018 NFL Draft. Quite frankly, they were and still are some of the most absurd and insulting comments I have ever read. Just the fact that some of these people would suggest such a thing shows you and me that they aren’t really as intuitive as they think they are when it comes to the NFL.

thunderingsquid Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Switch to W Coast offense, switch to unfamiliar zone blocking scheme and trade away all of Tyrod's speed WRs and you get: #stealthtank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I disagree with this part: "On top of that, there are likely a few teams that are going to finish worse off than Buffalo". Unless you consider 31 to be a few I guess. Some of the posts in this thread are pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
