Totally agree. I would love to see MT make a successful go of it, but Indy with average QB play is incredibly dangerous.

The Daboll/Mitch pairing is interesting. It seems like there are a lot of similarities between Mitch and Josh, just from a physical standpoint. Given what Daboll did with Allen, it seems to make sense. But that is the only real connection we have. If I am Mitch I would love to follow BD, but BD could have other plans. If he lands in Miami, there is probably no way MT follows. Carson Wentz was terrible this year. Everything MT did in Chicago was better than the QB play in Indy. If I am Reich I am scrambling this offseason for an upgrade. Hell, Heinicke would be a major upgrade. Indy needs to do something. I would imagine Heinicke, Fitz, and Trubiski are on a list for serious discussion. Maybe a tier two list of Mariota and Bortles? But they cannot go forward the way they are.

With the velocity that Allen throws, how are receivers have done catching in cold weather, and the expected temps, the WR's should be living outside with the jugs machines cranked up to 11 from now until Saturday. I am way less concerned about practicing outside for the other position groups.

I don’t need 10. Only a few weeks left in the season. 1. Bellichick 2. Mahomes 3. Burrow/Derek Henry 4. Aaron Rodgers. 4 timely deaths should get us a super bowl.

When Allen has days where he is cold, a lot on this board put it on Daboll. Allen is a stud, Daboll groomed him to be one. As frustrated as I can get with the offense, I am not amped to see them stand on their own.

It feels like Beane is treating real life like I treat Madden. Cole is “good enough” and McKenzie is in a contract year. Don’t give McKenzie enough snaps to keep his value super low. Sign him to a million year deal at league minimum. Except this is real life. And doing that can drive the value up for a player who feels slighted.

In all seriousness, it’s going to be cold, I’d put the receivers outside on the jugs machine and crank them up all week long. They have to be better at catching those lasers when everything is frozen.

Which is wild because we run a ton of time play action, more than anybody in the league. I love Josh, but this seems like a QB issue not a problem play calling issue if this is in fact the case.

I would like to see Allen under center more. Singletary runs better there as well. I think it also helps Josh get the ball out quicker. I am unsure if Daboll is really pass happy as a play caller, or if Josh Hs a tendency to be really hot/cold with a run game that’s struggled to produce for weeks at a time, so he pushes to get QB1 in rhythm.

I get your overall point, but it’s like a 45 minute flight. Brookline to Gillette is 45 minutes. Players live that far from the stadium for home games.

I agree with this but there is some nuance. Josh needs to sometimes run like a MOFO, because sometimes he has games or stretches of games where he isn’t a good passer. Getting Josh moving is a stop gap. The fix is actually having the valleys be less often and/or less deep. If he can become a bit more efficient/consistent, the sky is the limit for him and this team.

I think BUF vs. NE or LAC is a favorite for MNF. Herbert v. Allen is a match the league will probably want to promote. Either that or Rams v. Cardinals

Being 3/15 isn’t “had a feeling we were gonna go vanilla”

I would really like to get McKenzie involved not on jet sweeps more often.

Poor choice of words. Unfortunate. We could be winning this game 1000 to 0

Although I do have some mild concerns about QB play if this is what we get when ours doesn’t run…

What a wasted defensive performance today. At one point we were on pace for like 600 yards of offense today.

Where do you get that vibe? I’ve never gotten that feeling from Sanders. That said, I really don’t think the Bills make a signing like Sanders if 2/3 of our starting WR’s didn’t willfully risk missing 2 games.

He came to be apart of a successful organization and wash the stink of Chicago off. There are situations in elite sport where no credit is better for your career than bad credit. If he got to play, that’s just gravy. But nobody goes to backup Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, Wilson, etc. with a real expectation of playing. And most certainly they don’t feel jilted if they don’t see much live action.

Jefferson looks like a starter. Understatement of the season. Jesus. I think Sanders and Davis are much closer than many on the board are willing to admit. I do think age is catching up to Sanders and being the consistent number two is wearing him down unfortunately. The dude was slick early in the season. Some seem to have forgotten about that. Everybody was on the ES hype train early on and were wondering why Josh wasn’t looking his way. That said, I think Sanders was an insurance policy with Davis and Beasley willing to risk 10 days. Because both were willing to miss 10 days and possibly 2 games, he got the live reps.

I see the tweet, but is the map updated? My uncle of me the game was on in my region and asked if he could use my ST. So I just ran with it. I have no idea what the previous map looked like.

Back should to Fant was a good decision. But Lock had pressure immediately. Forced a bad throw. I don’t think there was another option on replay.

We still have some needs at DE with some holes to fill. He had production with this staff. I’m actually strongly in favor of bringing him in next season for vet minimum.

I’m more interested in him as a FA at this point. He’s got like $60M left in cap hit left and has played like 6 games that last 2 seasons.

I think there’s a chance depending on the market. Wallace is a guy I’d always like to upgrade but never want to leave. In part time work Dane Jackson has played well enough, at least comparable to the production we’ve gotten from Wallace in seasons past. That’s sort of the reason I could see them being unwilling to pay.
