You missed the whole "the quarterback retired and head coach quit" part of the equation.

Great take.

A very good (top 5) defense and a terrible (bottom five) offense. Put them together and every week is a grind where the defense has to play absolutely perfect for the team to squeak out a win every week. They're not winning the division. They're not getting a Wild Card. Stop with the "this year feels different" stuff. They're going to win somewhere between 6 and 9 games. The reason I feel better about the team than I do in 2014 is because I just like McDermott better and think he has a higher ceiling as a head coach than Marrone. Plus, the unit that is thriving is the unit that the HC specializes in. The offense needs to be completely overhauled. Quarterback (although I hope Peterman gets a chance because I think he could possibly be good and I'd like to see), wide receivers, running back, OLinemen. All are needs. It's going to take a while for that to happen. Temper your expectations for this team. Be patient. Trust the process.

McDermott holding a meeting with Whaley sometime last February...

People didn't believe us when we said Rex bludgeoned a good defense.

lol this has been bothering you all evening hasn't it?

Are you using the term "manly" with no level of irony or sarcasm? Seriously, what man uses that word? "I wish I could be more manly but the feminists won't let me."

You need a good offense. Stats can generally be used as a tool to determine whether or not an offense is good or bad.

I bolded the silly part.

Good point. I blame McDermott's conservative/puzzling game management decisions late more than I blame the running game. They did look better Sunday. Hopefully that was a step in the right direction.

When Jason Peters is inducted into the Hall of Fame, will this guy be there? "I knew it all along, Jason lol How bout a hug? lol"

I agree. However, once the Rams come back down to Earth and lose a few games and fans wonder why he's had nagging injuries and isn't more dominant, how long until he writes an Instagram post blasting the fans?

Can I request a 'like' function and alerts for when we have posts quoted/responded to?

Broncos have the #1 rush defense in the NFL. Panthers are very good too. Falcons are in the bottom half against the run. Quality of opponent matters.

It was? 3.25 yards per carry is below the season average (which is near the bottom of the league).

As there should be. One would hope, anyway, considering it's a sign of progress in society. Then again, Trump is President so that progress is not always linear or going at the rate one would hope.

When Belichick was asked who the best player on the 2001 Super Bowl team was, he said Vinatieri. Always found that funny, but telling. Belichick knows if Buffalo had a Vinatieri instead of Scott Norwood in 1990 then Bills were world champions and Giants the bridesmaids.

Fitz is miles better than Rapey.

Mind control causing Winston to miss wide open receivers? Why can't Brady just get injured.

Rapist Winston is butt

Whatever happens, happens. I'll be rooting for the Bills to win until they're mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. After that I'll focus on draft position. Then I'll watch the NFL playoffs, then college basketball, then the Masters, then finally I'll take a look at the draft.

We're not winning the division unless Brady tears his ACL. Let's stop the nonsense on that front.

Thanks for letting us know the proper way to root for and discuss our football team. Quite helpful! As long as you end it with "stay woke" I'm on board.
