Well, at least he's consistent with his valuations.

Beating the Chiefs in the regular season has value. You don't just go into the regular game running scaled down or vanilla game plans, because you have establish what's going to work, what isn't, and how we match up. Having the coaching acumen to tweak, adjust, deceive, adapt and bring in the right new plays/formations for the playoffs is where we are sorely lacking. I'd point to Rousseau mentioning the fullback quick runs during the regular season, multiple unstopped Mahomes sweeps in the playoffs. No adjustment. Stick to your gaps. Inexcusable. It's not like KC had an entirely new offense/defense. They just had strategic modifications at strategic times. Something McDermott seems to abhor as he relies on the same system of defending to account for everything. This is where he needs to grow significantly. I believe part of that is the Chiefs relied more on their coaching with less talent on their roster this year and then it finally caught up to them with a talented Philly team. Which really makes it all the more frustrating we couldn't beat them!

Totally agree except that you can't just show nothing of value in the regular season. You still need to win there, too. You just have to manipulate your looks and break trends at the right moments. KC didn't pull that end-around out for that game, they did it during the regular season. Just not much when they played us the first time, Rousseau mentions they did the fullback runs in similar situations during the regular season. But it totally feeds into your point about checkers and chess, after 8 seasons as our HC let's pray McDermott finally learns how to play chess this offseason and year. He's shown signs, like keeping Mahomes off the field late in the regular season game, but he really needs to accelerate his learning curve. 7 seasons is far too long to finally realize that.

Yeah, Rousseau alludes to it in the clip, said he's not getting paid to think, he's still going to cover his primary gap because that's what's most important. So it once again comes down to coaching being willing to adapt in-game or come in with a more diverse game plan.

1 year 12.6M is basically no risk compared to Von Miller's contract, lol. Bosa is not humble but has been humbled, I think. Let's hope he finds that chip to put on his shoulder.

This is Diggs with a checkered past and storm-clouded future putting his best face on. Any fan who would welcome him back needs to pull their heads out of the stats and remember the reality of the toxic ending on our field. Sheesh.

Yeah, I'll definitely be praying for him. For me, the PC and other videos are worrying. Here's a guy repeatedly discussing how he's getting old and career winding down at 29. Brings to mind that quote if you're thinking about retiring from the NFL then you already are. Then the reporter asks him about his film role and first thing he mentions is it was really challenging because it was cold over there in Ireland. "Trying something different is good." "It'll be good to focus only on football now." "Glad to be part of a winning culture " "It was shocking how quickly things changed." Heart-felt or crisis management mantras?😂 Couple that with all the personality of a weathered old board on a teetering barn. Hope Joey uses this time to get his head on straight. Prayers up!

I appreciate your passion for Buffalo, but Josh isn't marrying a local gal. They're two California kids whose families are deeply tied there. When they have a family, whether they live here during the season depends on what Hailee wants to do about her career. Chances are miniscule they live here once Josh calls it a career.

One big component on this defense is risk aversion and a thought process for how to execute that. I suspect this is where Elam struggled. When you see a DB with his physical talents relegated to playing like a covering safety in the AFCCG, you know he's lost in the scheme and maybe not from being unusually harsh but from a minimum of constantly having to correct him. He may never be able to stick in the league but seemed incredibly ill suited for what the coaches wanted him to do. I'm happy he has another chance, we'll see how much our coaching/scheme weighed him down. He's certainly not the brightest bulb either, so good luck to him.

He's also very tied to the Cleveland community so that may also have weighed on him since his announcement.

I could see this being true 3 years ago, but since Brady took over the offense I feel Josh has improved his decision making and distribution from the pocket. You make it sound like he's still scramble-happy hurdle happy Josh. What gives? Do you really think he hasn't improved as a pocket passer?

Apnea creates hypoxic conditions (oxygen deprivation) in the body and is linked to a host of cardiac and health issues, most likely progressing slowly over years. It's a good one to solve even if you're not having too many effects from it now.

Hopefully it's lost it's stringiness or that could get awkward.

I bet that's exactly how your toilet would describe your next day deposit of the remnants!

Yeah, no one did. As soon as I heard about them setting up field hospitals I knew we were f*cked. It seemed surreal but the Chinese take outbreaks seriously and it was too late for them already. 😂Yes, an overexpressing artificially created mouse model always portends truth. Look how many times it's pegged cancer cures. Translation: You are incredibly overreacting and ignorant, and just plain wrong. Stay away from science and medicine. You truly suck at it.

It wouldn't have mattered if they had shut China travel earlier. It spread too quickly with 2 or 3 days of victims being asymptomatic and infectious, and longer for those that remained asymptomatic. China was also slow to acknowledge it, I know I first learned about it from Li Wenliang's warnings shortly before he died and the construction of field hospitals in Wuhan early Feb 2020. Think about how long it had been spreading to get to that point. Probably 2-6 months, plenty to get it seeded around the world. The Wuhan market was shut down January 1 2020 to test for viruses. Other than Trump's standard stupid spews about alternative remedies he did just fine. So many hind-sighters on both sides forget how in the dark we were those first six months of 2020.

Ok, so what? Anyone with a reasonable scientific/medical mind knew that. How is your point that Trump didn't have the vaccine while Biden did relevant to this? Trump would have also "failed" similarly if he had been president in 2021. I would say Biden's political promise was based on two things: pushing vaccination as quickly as he could with the general population and the fact that the mRNA vaccines had been proven to be hugely effective against the beta version of Covid at the time in clinical trials. That's why health officials were quoting 100%, fully stop transmission, etc. So for a non-scientific, questionable mental-acuity president who listened to his over-speaking health officials, I feel like he made a legit good effort to achieve this promise but essentially the vaccine wasn't as great as his health officials were proclaiming. Plus Omicron was first identified in the fall of 2021, has dominated since, and the vaccines have never been as effective against it as they were beta. WRT mass vaccination, the vaccines became available mid-December and by the end of May 50% (167+ million) of the US population had received at least one dose with 41% fully vaccinated. That is pretty impressive to me in such a short time. I am definitely glad Trump presided over the outbreak as Biden probably would have dictated precautions similar to NY or CA and they were the most delusional about being able to stamp it out entirely.

Which point is that? The point that Trump handled it better than Biden with no vaccine? You really think Biden wouldn't have done the shutdown pretty much the same as Trump? Or is it the point of September '21 to February '22 round of deaths where Homelander pointed out to you the states with fewer vaccinations weighed more heavily on the death count? In this case your point is irrelevant. Or is it the point that no matter who was president the virus was going to ravage the US? This is the closest to the truth, except that dumb Democrats foolishly thought we could stamp it out while dumb Republicans felt we shouldn't do anything and let it run it's course. The truth is we simply needed to slow the spread of the novel virus long enough to not overwhelm our health systems and allow science and medicine time to understand in order to minimize it until it was fully endemic. Masks to protect those around you, distancing and isolation to minimize exposure, vaccines to minimize illness and severity. It was ugly going, but it worked. Also don't forget in that Sept 21 to Feb 22 timeline most states were coming off masking and isolation, undoubtedly contributing to the uptick. People were also burned out on all the precautions and the vaccine gave a sense of security.

Wrong about no one being fully vaccinated. https://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/news/alumna-sandra-lindsay-first-to-receive-covid-vaccination-is-bmccs-2021-presidents-medal-honoree/ I myself received Moderna December 21 and the second jab 3 weeks later, before Trump left office. All the hospitals were in overdrive vaccinating December-February as the priority was to get health care professionals vaccinated first. As a researcher, I was just fortunate that our hospital had extra doses with limited shelf life. As a physician, I should think you would be well aware of this.

After reading the article, this is essentially how I feel about Martin. I think he's trying to whitewash this past a bit to try and propel himself into the future with the self perception of being a stronger man and having grown. I hope it works for him. I have trouble buying it. The entire article is an overwritten fluff piece on all these bold things he's attempted (and failed) and how Richie and Pouncey have already peaked while Martin's just getting started. A "look at me" article. On one hand he blames his own mother, Wells, and finally himself for not handling the situation differently. On the other hand in present day, he refuses to reach out to Richie to discuss this situation he feels he allowed to get out of hand. I know if I felt guilty like that the honorable thing to do would be reach out and at least try to be accountable. Martin's an emotionally fragile personality. He showed it back then and I see it in this article. I hope this article works therapeutically, he finds some peace and confidence from it, and can finally move on.

To hell with KC, let's focus on why the sun doesn't seem to shine down enough in our 8 years of drafting.

For whatever reason Mahomes wasn't stepping up in the pocket or reacting to the pass rush until it was too late. For sure Josh would have done a better job of that and completing more of those passes on the scramble. That would have strained Philly's defense far more. Not saying we would have won but our offense would have fared much better.

Making strategic changes to the scouting department might also help.

There is a draft coming up in a few months, let's also not forget about free agency.

Yep. Lamar had the better individual season while Josh really took the Bills to the next level. The proof is in the playoffs. The voters got it right.
