Apt description. At one time unstoppable, then not so much.

Maybe I’m getting older and starting to forget things  , can you please remind me the last time we had a healthy defense going into the playoffs ? 
 

What point are you even trying to get at? Saying the injuries have hurt us more than roster management has nothing to do with terrible coaching in the playoffs.

Not saying there’s no truth to this but the injuries have hurt us more than anything. 

They've run out of excuses. At MINIMUM, this is on them for bringing in as many undersized starters as they have.

 

You can not have this huge of an 8 year sample size and just say "injuries, yeesh". We are consistently among the most hurt teams, especially on the defense. Year after year.

 

There's no SB in September. Assembling a durable team is part of the difficulty of roster building and team management. Not getting it done sucks, injuries are the worst way to have a let down of a season... but these injuries still point to Management failure.

 

Draft bigger. Injury prone player? You g2 move on sooner. Injury prone player you can't move on from? Your job to allocate better resources to depth.

 

Our handling of WR and ESPECIALLY CB position. Every coach/FO is going to have back breaking injuries every now and then... but we have msde the same mistakes over and over and over.

 

You cant get obliterated by injuries year after year without accountability. Spinning our wheels over and over

 

Gambling our season on the hopes of X player finally being healthy, is still gambling. They've gambled the mortgage away. Its irresponsible. I know it sucks, its really the worst way to lose, but you cant gamble on these decisions without factoring in the possibility of injuries

The difference is their defenses actually come up big when it matters 

 

 

They retool get younger not bring back over 30 year olds past their prime, and hit on their draft picks, not one out of 9

Both can’t be true ?

The other coaching prospects are so bad this year…you almost have to give them one more unfortunately 

 

Couldn't disagree more with this mindset. Look at what Klint Kubiak is doing in Seattle. I am not going to accept another offseason of "it could be worse." It really couldn't be!! 6 points in the part of the game that mattered against an awful Miami defense, with Josh Allen at QB. Anything is an improvement at this point and we'll have our pick of the litter.

[Success]

The Pats current run reminds me so much of the team we had after the Hail Murray. That season was so much fun -we went on an incredible run, and the team was so fun to watch.

 

Now it just seems like we're old & tired.  We'll still make the playoffs, but will need a whole lot of luck to make any kind of run.  

 

We could have another iteration of the team while Allen is still QB - but I'm certainly not as optimistic about getting a title as I was a few years ago.  It's definitely a bummer.

( Insert player, coach, scheme, play calling here )  Sucked balls today.

 

Also, I want to punch Joe Brady in the head today. You can't get first downs when most of the throws are behind the line of scimmage....to the sidelines with little or no blocking!!!!! What a moron.

13 sec is closest we will get for a long while I fear.

Can't blame him but he has just been missing the it factor, Last year was a whirlwind, wife, MVP a new lifestyle it's like he became civilized . Seems like like he put more time in the other stuff more than Football, oh well still my dude but u can't help but see it.

 

I was thinking about this. Tom Brady was wedded to football. It came first. His desire to play and win even destroyed his relationship.

 

I don't think Josh is made up in the same way.

They are both true. That’s why my first comment that you replied to started with “Not saying there’s no truth to this”.

McDermott will never, ever, ever be fired as long as Allen is here 

 

The PR crew will be working overtime this week.

 

Beane might be the fall guy if it gets really bad, but still. This is the offense (run the ball, everybody eats, low event football) that the defensive HC wants 

 

It's why he and Daboll fought so much 

been saying it

 

old enough to remember way back in 2023 McDermott criticizing Allen's play style and saying he had to change. this is his vision for the offense stem to stern

I came back to the board to watch the sky fall and I wasn’t disappointed.

some of the dumbest ***** ive ever read lol

 

allen was the only guy who came to play today, it's his cross to bear that fans who don't know ball only see the mistakes and not the 1 of 1 stuff it took to get in those positions

Beane the fall guy?   for as much as ive supported and loved beane most of the time he's been here is made massive mistakes.   through bad drafting, bad

contracts and bad luck this team is a shell of what it has been talent wise.   

 

and funny thing is for all the "this is the offense mcdermott wants" guys.   we were loving life with the Daboll passing game for years, while

it was effective. then the league D's changed their approach, Daboll was the passing version of Brady and it became totally ineffective so 

Mcdermott wanted a Balanced run game.   No where that i can recall has he said he doesnt want a passing game.   

 

[DJB]

Why is every War route a go or simply a catch behind the LOS!?!?

 

Where are the crossers and diggs, curls anything to get the corners going sideways

 

Our WR’s struggle for separation yet we run routes that are to their weakness 

 

It’s absurd

[Bill51390]

Year after year, injuries. Get some ***** bigger physical guys and save your finesse players as a rotational/situational piece.

I think its safe to say our days among the leagues elite are over. We had a decent run. But the bad contracts and late/missed draft picks have caught up to us. I personally think believing that Josh was ssooo good that we could plug anyone in at reciever and we could make it work was the biggest mistake.

Too many old, veteran, defensive players on the field.  Milano has become a huge liability and that's a shame after his great career.  When Joey Bosa is your most impactful player things are sad!
