  1. definiteky not a coffee runner at lsu. That claim really tanks the entire post.
  2. I enjoy Josh throwing a dart to win the game- and am totally here for it in the right context. my gripe is I call that play at 2:30 to go instead of burning clock to try to give mahomes the ball with 1:50 left either we play for that to be our last possession or we play for getting the ball back after a chiefs drive… to milk it down to giving the chiefs the last touch seemed like a much bigger fail than throwing that pass in general
  3. he made the right read in the play call in theory the system/play call should have dictated the read be a smaller chunk probably, given that we just milked the clock to two minutes though. it wasn’t a bad play, but strategically the coaches didn’t sync the clock management and play calling strategy together well
  4. Yea, I still think he could be a really nice fit in the offense as a pass catching back… but it’s just not unique enough of a skill set and he has enough question marks that his salary is like triple what it should slot up as compared to his peers. that Dorsey didn’t use him the way brady used our backs doesn’t worry me much - but it’s a major injury and now we have an established RB1 that I imagine will be working hard to round out his own pass catching to steal touches in that role.
  5. you think if we cut him he’s signing a top 10-15 contract? If not, you agree and just don’t like that you do.
  6. his 2024 base salary is slotted to be the 7th highest weekly paycheck for a running back in the entire league he will either need a drastic rework or new team. He can’t be a top ten salary and if cut not a single team would pay it. Knock on wood he sees that. they could cut his total cash payout next year in half and still be the 16th highest paid back in the league without being our starter. so yes. He could cut it in half and be too highly compensated.
  7. well, that’s his 2024 number as of today. this thread would be far more successful declaring he won’t be a cap casualty if he cuts his pay than declaring the bills have guaranteed him a spot I do think in reframing him though- had he been healthy it would’ve been really interesting to see Brady use him. The colts had him spending real time in the wr room. Now picture some of the totes we’ve seen from cook since the change in OC. That we never got a chance to see him used like that is a bummer. i guess maybe 2024 happens but a lot has to come together
  8. it’s also to avoid the cap hit though. It’s a reality that tua on a rookie deal is valuable. Tua handed 250m becomes much less valuable But I think far less touch, not as able to make reads, etc… just not a great scheme for unless McDaniel were to rework it. He could apply pressure on a defense with him though I guess.
  9. yea, it feels like running off a timely streak saves him whereas if it was the same record with the losses spread across the season ending like it did we would be having serious talks.
  10. what do you think the odds of the fake punt working were? what do you think the odds of the offense getting 5 yards were?
  11. I think the simple +2 calculation has to be viewed through the lens of his lead blockers being 2 third string linebackers and a third string DE on the side the play went to with our third string safety carrying id be curious a better view of who made up the defenders that stuffed the play but I bet it was people that tackle for a living on the chiefs side, and people that are not blockers on the bills side
  12. Base upon?
  13. they see a savvy vet lose a step and suddenly anyone that can’t play outside can slide back to safety
  14. you mean the guy that’s struggling to get time at corner because his coach thinks he lacks zone skills and physicality in the run game? Doesn’t scream safety to me
  15. they want a real outside threat to pair with diggs. It was very clear messaging today.
  16. there’s also the reality that the drop this week was dumb luck not simply being slow and old - and Josh missed him on a huge play a week or two back. something seems up but he easily could’ve had a few more explosive plays
  17. whether or not an injury effected him- every guy gets dinged up and I’d expect a vague “playing through some stuff” type of comment to back the fan base down even if it wasn’t materially impactful
  18. having rewatched the sequence now… even romo nails the issue with the suggestion that Reid would zero blitz because whether it was a TD or incomplete - he’d get the ball back immediately, and the worst outcome for kc there was a simple first down im totally open to the debate of taking a shot before the 2 min, vs grinding after… but McDermott did the worst by taking a shot after
  19. Lots of bans to hand out here
  20. until it’s dawkins out, or Morse, or Josh or cook or…. there will always be holes
  21. if anyone can explain bleeding the clock on the front side of two mins and then going for the end zone inside— I’d be all ears to me it amounts to “let’s ensure only one possession happens after ours.” That’s worst case possible for 0 (as we saw), 3 or 7 (full drives with no pressure from the clock and unlikely to give Josh the ball back) either you finish the drive between 2-3 mins and hope to get the last touch, or you bleed the clock, target the first down out of the warning and let the clock pressure the chiefs while you take shots then they should throw it at 2:20 instead of sitting on the ball
  22. I certainly wasn’t betting on them in the off-season but when Joey b was hurt, and Rodgers got hurt and kc underachieved and jax hit a wall and… there was nothing stopping them from potentially doing it. They should have won yesterday, and they could have won against Baltimore. I think both the lions and 9ers were tougher matchups though.
  23. right - if we are going for 7 points with a couple quick strikes, let’s do it at 2:30 to go, and then between the 2 min warning and timeouts we can get the ball back to end the game if we don’t score or kc returns serve on the next drive. we could’ve had the 2 minute warning to help us after the missed kick if it was end zone, end zone long kick
  24. It was just so odd - either take your shots fast so you can get the ball back for the last possession or keep grinding the clock. The way we did it made it the worst case scenario. We score and kc has time and the ability to leave us without another touch. If we miss we need a perfect 3 and out to get another shot and zero room for error. Finishing that drive between say 60 to 120 seconds on the clock (bar napkin math there)and without kc burning timeouts is the literal worst case scenario for 0, 3 or 7 points scored
  25. I’ll be honest, I didn’t understand burning time down to 2 mins without even lining up to see if we could get an advantageous look- presumably because our goal was yo have the ball last and then come out of the 2 min warning with two fast shots ensuring that KC would have no worries with time and we would almost certainly be screwed if they scored. it seemed very jumbled philosophically.
