Yeah I'm not too down about it. This team overachieved. I expected us to miss the playoffs or barely get in. We all knew secondary was the weakest positional group going into the season and yesterday just proved Beane missed on Elam. We need to part ways with him. We need to invest in a better pass rush. I love Greg, AJ, and Big Phil but we need another reliable playmaker here.

It just feels like a lot of things are aligning.

So I found a deal already that totals $500 RT for me to get a ticket plus travel to KC for the game. I'm thinking about it honestly now bc this is cheap. And Josh is great.

The amount of negativity about Damar from before the season from our fans to now is amazing. A lot of fans didn't think he was any good. But he showed a few flashes in 2022 before he died when we needed him to step up. It's been nice to see him have the season he's having.

If you're McD... what's the last thing you communicate to Josh tonight about the game tomorrow? Whether in person or over text.

I agree with all of this and love the detail except the scoring of Harbaugh and McD. I think they're above Campbell and Sirianni.

IMO, this year with him and the team, it seems they've all matured and become even bigger leaders with more confidence, but especially him. No drama, no turnovers, and the most consistency of his career. Couple those things with the fact he's hanging out in the offseason with other champions like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, etc... it seems he's gotten that killer instinct instilled into him even more this year.

And on synthetic grass.

I thought the article was good. I don't think McD has enough experience to compete with the likes of Andy Reid, his game management is a sign of that, but I do think he's gotten better at it over the last 7 years, and I like him. I don't think he's in danger of losing his job this year so I hope he continues to get better. I think he's really trying to coach a wrestler's mindset into the team, if you look at the players, that's really how it seems. The way players quoted talked about him was very in-depth.

For what Beane and the FO crew marketed as a down year and FA shopping at K-Mart, I'd like to retain some of these K-Mart players, especially Coop and Hollins. It seems like Josh has finally found his main trio of wideouts with Shakir, Coop, and Hollins, and I hope we can keep that going for at least another year or two. Cooper is what we need as a #1 wideout: no talk all business, great hands, fast, physical, and just seems to fit personality wise.

Some new person in marketing probably pitched this and whoever pitched it last time for us has been fired.

Nice full circle for these two.

Yeah he's had three 100 yard games since the bye week with 14 or less carries. He and Josh have complemented each other nicely.

He's making $1.5M per year now, I'd say an increase of 6x to $7M-$8M in this offense is doable and fair for all sides. Our system isn't built for much more than that at the RB spot.

I like reading your analysis and I didn't realize a lot of this, but have felt this season was different and really special. But I'm also a greedy ahole and wish we could do something to keep Brady for a few years. He and Josh are on the same sentence same page, very good chemistry.
