  1. Well then maybe that will help my fantasy team get out of last place because Mahomes is killing me on that roster lol.
  2. 2 catches a game as a starting WR for the Chiefs with Mahomes and Andy Reid makes him a "game changer"? Feels a bit extreme.
  3. No, Tyreek Hill fell to the 5th round because he beat the crap out of his pregnant girlfriend in college. Same woman and kid he has since had domestic abuse allegations come up with since being in the NFL. Otherwise he would have been a much earlier pick.
  4. If this is in season right now...I think the most probable answer is Safety given they have already mentioned Hyde again this week and if there was someone who was most likely going to be added, I think it's him.
  5. Bledsoe would have shown up to the Roast of Bill Belichick in a wheel chair
  6. Nah, Allen has lost a step I heard 😂
  7. As others have said...I think this has Jets written all over it. And if not them, probably Steelers. And as I have said, while he is an elite talent, I do think his "I need the ball" attitude would be a bad fit for our teams chemistry right now here. He was upset after a win when he didn't get the ball enough last year. He gets pissed when he isn't getting the ball in games and vocally complains up and down the sidelines. While I would never rule it out, just seems like an odd fit after trading Diggs to bring in a WR who has openly complained and thrown fits on the sidelines a lot more than Diggs ever did even.
  8. Ive been saying all offseason, this team is headed in a good direction right now. Most of our core players and starters moving forward are young and on the right side of 30. We have a lot of draft capital this next year, we won't have $31M in dead cap to a player who isn't playing for us, and the icing on the cake is we can get out of Von's deal this offseason. The biggest moment of our 2024 offseason was when Von just flat out took a pay cut and Beane did not need to rework his deal that would have prevented us from getting out of it this next offseason. Cap space...youth...3 additional picks in first 4 rounds plus all our original picks. I don't know what this year will result in, but next year we are really set up to be aggressive on building up our key weak points on the roster and putting the team in position to continue to be a SB contender/favorite for years to come. Honestly, I think we will own this division still a min of another 5 years assuming Josh stays healthy.
  9. Oh I had some other words I wanted to spell out...just was trying to avoid warning points haha
  10. Marino posted his review and he talked about the issues mostly being coaching on both sides of the ball that week. It was Brady's first real L as an OC here in 13 games and it was Babich's first L as a DC. Now its about how they respond, how they adjust and take what happened and figure out where they went wrong and put our guys in better position to succeed this week. I do really feel like we will see a bounce back game this week on both sides of the ball. It was a short week, on the road, against a tough opponent that really needed a win while we were also missing key players. Some things got rattled early on both sides and we just didn't really recover, and when ever we were starting to flip the momentum we would do something that shot ourselves in the foot.
  11. This is why I kept telling people who just arbitrarily kept saying it was our receivers that were the problem that it was what was going on upfront that was killing us. The worst part about that game was we had a number of times where we were moving the ball on offense and looked like we were starting to get some momentum and rhythm and we had self inflicted mistakes kill it. Kincaid kills that first drive with a bad drop. Later Coleman torched his man on the outside and had him beat by 5 yards running down field for a would be TD by O'Cyrus just got blown up and gave up the instant sack on Allen to end the drive. Then there was the infamous trick play that Brady has owned up to as a critical mistake on his end. Then Coleman didn't catch that first deep shot. Penalties affected others. I came out of the game less worried about the offense as it was more execution and protection issues more than anything. Defense though had me a lot more concerned, but good to Marino feel like it was a coaching as that can be fixed. But I do think this defense really needs Taron and Bernard back and hopefully they are both back this week.
  12. Week 1 - 9 guys caught 18 of Allens completions (and barely had the ball first half) and AZ went out to take Kincaid away Week 2 - Little passing, Cook dominated, took the 2nd half off Week 3 - 10 guys caught passes and again we took the 2nd half off Week 4 - The entire team crapped the bed top to bottom Totals are not going to tell anyone an accurate story on our season thus far. Our offense did not play much for most of a half all 3 games and of course self destructed in week 4. Now Brady is coming off his first dud and will likely make some adjustments. More concerning for me is how little usage and how little plan they seem to have for Samuel right now.
  13. Are you talking about now in season or next year? When makes a difference as there will be a big cap space difference
  14. Yeah, for the Ravens the game was as close to a must win as it gets this early in the season. Starting 1-3 with 3 losses to the AFC would have really put them in a tight spot rest of the season and they came out like it was a playoff game. That Henry TD run to open up just electrified that stadium and team and our guys just didn't seem to be up for the challenge to match the intensity. It was also a short week and coming off some big wins. Didn't help that we had not faced much push back or adversity really since a few mistakes first half week 1 where as Balt had already gone through some battles this year. But like I said above, its about how we respond that matters now. I expect to see some different things out of the offense this week, and if we are lucky I am hoping we can at least get Taron back this week and even better if Bernard too.
  15. How easy it was to take them out on run plays was disturbing to say the least
  16. Gotcha, I was cooking all day for my wifes Niners game as this was like her last big football day with friends for a little bit before our baby is due. So I was mostly just checking the TV's to see the scores and only really watched the final 2 Jets drives that lost them the game. Nothing would make me happier than to see them continue to lose and implode haha
  17. It happens...flush it and move on...now how do Babich and Brady respond is all the matters Trenches...you win in the trenches...and Balt dominated them and took us to the wood shed Samuel APB is officially out, its like they have no plan for him and they need to get him going How does Bass still have a job? Like seriously... OMG was that trick play stupid at that time when we had momentum...very Daboll-esque We needed to keep calm and play our game with that momentum, not try a high risk play Your silver lining is that may be Keon's mini breakout to where they get him involved more Offense shot itself in the foot too much every time we started to move the ball Unfortunately our injuries caught up with us on D finally, need Taron & Bernard back ASAP Rookies will make mistakes, but seeing how Coleman responded was impressive Expect to see Brady come out with a different look and game plan for the offense this week Second down and short play calling this week felt predictable, needed some more play-action Punch back now. You came out flat and got punched in the mouth, now go out and punch back Open up the offense earlier, don't wait until we are down 2 scores Not going to panic after a short week, tough opponent, on the road missing 3 critical defenders Demar is a good story, but may be time to see what Edwards looks like back there GO BILLS!
  18. Is this a real thing between him and Rodgers? Doesn't matter, Jets would never send Wilson to the Bills regardless, but wasn't sure if this was just your guess or is there some trouble brewing there.
  19. Coleman was though. He’s the key. Let’s hope this was a mini breakout to where they realize that they need to get him going early and we start seeing him consistently getting 7+ targets each week at least. If Coleman and Allen start clicking, they can’t cheat their top CB to Shakir.
  20. Im not against Cooper, he would probably do anything to get out of Cleveland and anything he was asked here for a chance at winning. I would prefer him over a me first guy like Adams who was complaining about not getting enough targets in a game they won last year. Adams is a beast of a WR, but he will not like his role in an offense like this and would become an issue as soon as we lost a game where he didn't get the most targets. But...our biggest issue against the Ravens was the domination we saw in the trenches. Coleman got open deep multiple times and had Allen not been crushed at least one of them would have been a TD. Our next biggest issue IMHO is WTF is up with Samuel? Hollins was not signed to be a key target, he was always slated to be the 5th or 6th target at best and his primary role was his elite ability to block in our run game and quick strike short passing game focused on YAC...and he has done that quite well in weeks 1-3. But when we are going up tempo and pushing the ball downfield, it was always supposed to be Coleman, Shakir, Kincaid and Samuel with Cook in the backfield. Or even 12 personnel with Knox and Kincaid out there and some combo of Coleman, Shakir, and Samuel. Right now, I don't know if Samuel is still being slowed by Turf Toe or what...but it looks like they don't have a plan for him right now. He seems to be more of a gadget player than a WR they signed for 3 years to contribute.
  21. You can't replace every hole on your team in one offseason, especially one where you have Von's (should be final year) contract and $31M in dead cap going to a player not on the team. And lets not pretend this board would not have melted down they had drafted 2 safeties or that any of you wanted us to draft 2 safeties. They signed Edwards, retained Rapp, and drafted Bishop with also the possibility Hyde might return. Edwards and Rapp are serviceable for this season where I expect them to probably add another young player in the draft or maybe look at FA again with the better cap situation next year. And at WR I think the plan is pretty clear, to build through the draft. There obviously wasn't another one they were high enough on after Coleman to where they were BPA on Beane's board or they would have taken one, Beane said so himself. That doesn't preclude them from continuing to add to the room in the next draft. No one ever said they did "enough" at those positions as if they are done moving forward.
  22. Yeah I agree with this, just with Davis they are giving him one carry on a predictable run call. They need to leave him in a series and maybe even put both him and Cook back there together like Saints used to do. Right now when they put Davis in it has been pretty predictable what the next play is going to be. I want to see them run the offense the same whether Cook or Davis was back there to keep the defense guessing
  23. Well we needed to replace 2 safeties and will need another WR next year as 2 of our guys are on 1 year deals and only here because we have $31m in dead cap going to a WR playing on another team. It’s not like we need to draft a WR and S to replace the ones we just took.
  24. Well that’s the beauty of not having high expectations then. Especially when next year we have lots of extra draft capital once we aren’t paying Diggs $31m to not be here and we can get out of Vons deal. We can move around the draft if we choose, or if we stay put and make our picks early, I would expect WR, LB, and S to all be in play over our first and 2 second round picks. Watching the Niners every week with my wife has made Fred Warner maybe my favorite non Bills player. And I’m really hoping we go get a LB in FA or draft that isn’t undersized and can be a force. And I love Milano and Bernard, but they keep getting hurt and it cost us the KC game last year to end our season and it was again costly yesterday not having them. And quite frankly I don’t know how much better they would have even fared against Henry anyway.
  25. Look, it’s my fault 💯 I started the game off still wearing my Niners hat that I wore to support my wife’s team in the afternoon game while her friends and parents were here to watch game. I cooked up a storm for them as this was my wife’s last chance to prob hang with friends to watch a game for a few months as she is due to give birth here in next week or two to our 2nd boy. I was just planning to relax and enjoy leftovers during the Bills game and was so tired I forgot I still had a Niners hat on rather than the new Bills hat I had wore weeks 1-3. In fact it was my wife who noticed it right after Henry’s TD run and ordered me to change it. She’s the best. My bad.
