Online is probably where they have the most depth. May not see a drop in performance tbh. 

Praying this is true, lfg kromer

It sucks, but the backups have to step up on the O line.  We’re OK at LB and WR.  And if Palmer and Kincaid can play that will help.  Brady needs to call a good game and he and Josh have to be quicker at in game adjustment

It’s ok guys Keon will be back

It would be nice if the OC was capable of anticipating obvious difficulties, and then building a rational game plan to counter or at least mitigate them.

 

IMO there are coaching types and Brady may be more of the scheming kind of coach and less the intuitive adapt during a game kind. 

 

Getting the plays in late, injured or winded offensive players staying on the field when they should be subbed, needing to have that cushion from the action of calling from the booth, and effective adjustments usually happen after a decent break in the action at the half all seem to point to that kind of game processor.

 

Those guys look like geniuses when their game plan works and look lost if they are not. 

 

Just means the HC has to know their strength and surround them with the right people to mitigate the in-game adjustment gaps.

This has been less a result of our pass rush and more a result of opponents adjusting and consistently getting the ball out fast.

I have little confidence we can do that on offense.

Correct. So far there has been nothing much showing that we can. I hoping there's a plan in place. Like starting with adding more blockers than last week.

No BS, I am concerned Josh makes it out of this game.

Especially on that garbage turf

As much as I appreciate the compliment, and I do, I’d rather leave that to a great guy like Daboll.  The one person that can override McD’s stubbornness not to take him back is Terry.

 

Hey, enjoy your clack Friday bud.  I was going to make a quick mention this Chicago/Philly game may actually be fun.  I’ve never gone to a store on Black Friday.  Not for me.

Would LOVE Daboll. Have a worse feeling after seeing this injury report and factoring Brady😵

Last day in Buffalo, Elma Towne Grill for a final fishfry and limp back to NC FAT. Dropping our son off in Pittsburgh for the game.

At a certain point, keeping in extra blockers benefits the defense more than the offense imo

Am I missing something? I fully understand the Bills weaknesses, I get that they are starting two backup tackles. The Steelers however are not a great team, Rogers is a not what he once was, he’s playing with a broken wrist. Do they have much of a running game, isn’t their OL, particularly its depth suspect? On defense they have a great pass rush, but it’s their secondary bad?

They will probably be able to create enough problems in protection with 4, with Dugger or Queen working a spy role.

 

I think Jackson Hoss needs to have about 50 snaps this game.

They have a lot of options. They will be able to create pressure with 4, but likely they will also be able to lockup the WRs 1v1.

Their OL is suspect but so is our DL.

 

It’s not like the Texans or Dolphins have some world beater OLs. What makes you think that’s strength on weakness?

 

Our teams biggest strengths are our QB, our RB and our OL, maybe in that order. and a banged up OL affects all of them, especially against the teeth of what makes that Pittsburgh D go.

 

Is one handed Rodgers and the Steelers O any worse than the Texans backup QB or the 1-5 Dolphins?

Great pass rush negates bad secondary. 
 

Get to the QB before routes develop and it doesn’t matter how bad the Dbacks are.

I say just get out there and play some football. Tell the guys hey, listen, we’re playing some football today. And then just go out there and play football. 

 

A plan so complex and devious it just might work!

 

as long as ‘go out there and play football” doesn’t mean 4 quarters of bubble screens and jet sweeps
