KC is dirty they should appeal the fines. they appear arbitrary and capricious given that like (or more egregious) conduct was not also fines.

not a terrible idea, but I don’t think the players or fans would want the “moral victory” of finishing 3rd, so I cant’t see much interest in the game.

I lime this topic. And thanks for the draft info and highlight video. I’m all for Bold moves, but McKenzie will replace Roberts. Singletary is a decent RB 3, (after draft pick and Moss), but he may face competition from Williams. I wouldn’t cut him, however.

I’d keep Hughes, Addison and Hyde.

the TE writeup is somewhat alarming. What does everyone think of going after Everett from LA? Seems to flash, albeit inconsistently for whatever reason.

Priority/players I want back: McKenzie: this is Robert’s special teams replacement, and is a great gadget player on offense. Just need to remind Daboll that we have him in the playoffs! D. Williams: this will help solidify the Right Tackle position. As OP noted, Ford is not the answer. J. Feliciano: while I’m underwhelmed with his play in the AFC Championship game, he is a great backup at the very least as a G/C. C. Bojorquez. Seemed more dependable this year. Ability to flip the field is tremendous and saves us from having other teams start within FG range. L. Wallace. Fits in well with this D. Provides a decent CB2 range/backup CB. Nice/$$ Dependent: Barkely. Would like him back. Good to have a vet backup QB, although I’m not opposed to brining in a better vet backup. Likely that Jake is the long term backup solution. Milano: would like him back. D is better with him, but he’s not irreplaceable. His injury history makes him likely to be affordable. He totally vanished against KC in terms of impact plays. D. Marlowe: great as a backup safety. B. Winters. Good as OL depth. Ty N. Good OL depth. Cut/Use Cap Space for other FA Acquisitions: Josh Norman Andre Roberts Trent Murphy (he was great against Balt, then was inactive v. KC, which is puzzling). Tyler Kroft. (I’d actually like him back, but since the coaching staff has forgotten he exists, his cap money is better spent on an impact DL/DE) TJ Yeldon (same as Kroft, plus, I’m hoping we draft a RB that can catch, hit the hole, and you know, be put into the lineup by the coaching staff) Andre Smith. Likely we draft a LB or get another one in FA that makes him expendable.

I like the idea of acquiring Watt. he may be on the downside, and that should be reflected in his contract, but he's still better than our current talent. Also, AJ could learn from one of the best. I love the idea of getting Watt and Tomlinson in FA. Solve DT/DE and then you can draft one, but don't "have to".

agree. perhaps they should have given him a target weight. They said, "he went overboard." Well, you said cut weight, and he went all-in on that!

I think realistic FA pass catchers could be: Jones, JR (WR-Det) Everett (TE-LA) Henry would be awesome, but likely too expensive. Same with Golladay. hah. would love that. But, Mike Davis would be a nice FA addition at RB.

it's the ability to do it effectively when needed. we couldn't. KC did, Tampa can, Green Bay can.

guess what they deem a "star" is important. I'm fine passing on a guy like Dupree. Getting either Tomlinson or or L. Williams would be really helpful for the entire D.

mentions "run game" and "pass rush" as areas for schematic improvement.

need to slice some of the overpaid DL players.

did you notice that literally every team besides ours in the conference championships have a balanced attack? you need it. being balanced does not mean "running 50% of the time," it means being effective when you do. If you're one dimensional, which we were, it's much easier to defend. our inability to score against the WORST red zone D (KC) was very telling.

the Bills will "be hunted." Na. The hunted teams are those that make the SB. We need a running game/balanced offense, and a defense that can pressure the QB.

This is a fantastic writeup. Thanks @MAJBobby. I would love to add Tomlinson. If the Giants keep him, that likely shakes L. Williams free., in which case I'd go after him. This would be my big offseason DL move, more important than edge, IMO. It is one more that does 2 things: first, it provides outstanding 1T play and stuffs the run. 2nd, it frees up Oliver to use his penetration ability/pass rush.

I think I want Tampa to win 17-7 with Tampa scoring a defensive pick 6 from Kelce or Hill fumbling the ball. The other score will be a run where Jones gets smashed up the middle. Brady also throws a pick-6. Tampa wins, but Brady plays horribly.

shows you it's not all Brady. It's the talent around him. Allen >> Brady this year, not even close. Brady's amount of luck both in terms of games and calls are unreal.

yep. I'd take the plug and play on offense, shed some cap and go with FA signing for edge/passrusher.

He had a really good rookie year. Also, Hodges apparently had a good camp prior to the injury.

I get your point, but I disagree. Kicking did nothing to help the "shell shocked" state of the team prior to the half. If anything, it was waiving a mini white flag. And we can out and ran the same soft "zone" defense and gave up a TD.

agreed. Thanks, fixed it to Jones. Don't know why I had Clark on the mind. Leaving John one on one was a total failure.

the players failed to execute. WHy we left John seemingly one on one with Jones was confusing and likely a Daboll issue.

yeeha, 2 3rds is nice, even better, no more soft a** zone.

Barrett (pass rush) Tomlinson (run stopper) Everett (TE) second level wants: Henry (TE--too expensive likely) L. Williams (DL) I'd do it to add to Knox. I think Henry is too expensive, I'm intrigued by G. Everett.
