DL: I think Hughes is losing a step and becoming a situational rotational player faster than anybody expected. Thinking the Lorax version at DE. Oliver is playing alone at the moment. Our DT rotation is meh. It’s Oliver and a bunch of number 3s. I’m not gonna run him out of town get. LB: Edmunds is the same or similar LB he’s been since he started. He’s a physiological freak who is playing out of position. I wasn’t on that band wagon the last year or two, but I am full on he needs to move outside as soon as somebody can play inside at an NFL level. Safeties: Poyer and Hyde are aging, but that’s not the excuse yet. At least not for the defense as a whole. DL and MLB are a liability at the moment safeties are creeping up to help out. Leaves our weak CB depth hung out to dry. CB: Similar to DL, it Tre and some reserves. We knew this was an issue for years now. FO: Between our lackluster DL signings (and that’s a nice way of putting it nicer), Harry has been, meh, lack of LB depth, Edmunds lack of instinct at MLB, and CB depth, this defense is a unit the FO needs to take on the chin. Doesn’t mean they’re trash as scouts, GM’s, etc. just a bad job this offseason. Shaq and Philips are bigger loses than expected. We have sunken cost in guys that prevented us from keeping a Philips, Shaq, etc. It’s biting us in the asphalt at the moment. I would move Edmunds outside, given Milanos injury history see if you can get him “cheap-ish”, hunt down a new MLB, and draft a CB AND DT/DL in the top 3 rounds.

I have been complaining about Edmunds all season. If he gets anywhere near $15M per year I will be furious. Not worth it based on the last 2.33 years. Id be upset with anything way over $12 at the moment. We need to move him outside and let him be an athlete and play fast.

Which team practiced and which team didn’t again?

Win or lose this week and/or next. The team can’t look like this twice in a row. I don’t give a shirt if Mahomes is Tom Brady rolled into Elway, who is the love child of Manning. If the team looks like this, twice in a row, regardless of injuries and opponents, it’s a major issue for 2020 going forward. Ill give them the benefit of the doubt with the “don’t let it happen again”

Ahhh, the Dave Wannstedt days...

Tannehill looks like Josh v. Dallas last year.

Still time on the clock. Can we wait for it to read 0:00 before we start talking about the season?

First off, let’s go baby! Second, it’s been difficult to get any momentum after allowing TN to convert 3 and 19. Points here would be money. Settle down at the half.

We’ve invested a lot of draft capital and $$$ for this to be happening 5 weeks in a row.

I get we are injured, but this D is running on 2019 hype.

Yeldon has been fine.

Interesting Feeley mentioned the two misses as bad holds. Then Bojo goes ahead with another laces in hold. Can Barkley not hold?

It’s time to sit Knox for a bit.

I’ll be happy if we get out of this one with a W. Missing CB1 and CB2.5, OLB1, RB2. WR2. Jerked around by the league against a fired up Titans team who “thinks” they’re unnecessary villains. Gonna be a good one guys!

yes and no. They did win a SB last year....

You mean sign Fitz? Seems to be part of his cycle these days.

Chargers seem like they might be a sneaky good team. Reminds me of some of the draught teams that ruin seedlings or playoff births for good teams with some losses. I would put Miami in that category too.

I kinda like them. Maybe go powder blue bottoms. But I dig it at the moment.

Is it just me or does Justin Herbert have a super punchable face?

You might be right. I would agree McD runs a tight and detailed ship, so I can’t imagine there is a “no rules” portion for his Covid-QB. It’s just a dumb thing to say. I am sure there is more color to it than what he is saying. But given the cases recently across the league and that they are playing the Tennessee Covids, it’s just terrible optics.

I thought this was a bad quote from him. Dangerous to say "there's no rules or anything" in regards to COVID protocol. For a guy who is spending so much time with a PR guy, he really is not picking up much is he?

That is what I was implying. I was agreeing with your point. Good team losing more than 4-ish games per year has about the same win percentage after a loss as they do on any other Sunday.

That is fair. Just tried looking up some numbers on it, and most what I found was Pats specific. But I would assume that is the same for a team who wins 12ish games in a season. Pats Brady/BB have only a slightly higher win % after a loss as they do .776 vs. .766.

Our perception doesn't matter. If the team is feeling like they are being persecuted (whether real or perceived) is then the emotions are real for them. It is a classic use of the Thomas Theorem, loosely quotes as, "If men define a situation as real, they are real in their consequences". Fans, media, opponents, etc. feeling/emotions are irrelevant. The Bills may very well be jacked up after feeling like they have been jerked around, but these are mutually exclusive and can both be true at the same time. The Bills could also be flat from feeling like they could not focus on anything this week.

I don't think this is so crazy/funny or offensive as some people have taken it. The team is trying to find an edge, as teams do in any situation, and they will look for more when their backs are against the wall. If it works for them, good for them.
