Shirley you can’t be serious about this? Douglas, a vocal leader with GB, at first expressed shock at being traded. Since then it has basically been crickets. His entire personality has changed. I haven’t seen any serious talk about an extension. He hasn’t played badly but when you heart isn’t in something, you don’t get your best results. He’s biding his time until he can walk.

I agree with all of the above plus: McD will realize his overall philosophy is flawed and hire a real OC. Allen’s talent level will attract quality candidates Allen will realize he needs a true commitment to his craft and his leadership and will take that step. No more fun only mentality. That should set us up well because at some point soon the Dolphins will be in cap trouble and the Jets won’t have a QB.

I’ll just do some. 5. Cook 1117 6&8: Shakir in a slight upset over Kincaid who also has a good year. 10. The OC being clueless 15&17 Rousseau 22. for about three plays and he’ll get hurt yet again 24. Too much cap to cut him. He won’t be great but not as bad as people are saying

I think all three of the perceived division leaders have high potential but all three of them need a lot of health and luck to really be contenders. The Bills to me are the best positioned to move forward in 2025 when they are likely to have a real OC, but this year’s AFCE winner is not likely to be a true contender. I agree that NE is 4th.

Drunks

Preseason = LOL PFF grades = LOL LOL * LOL = LOL squared.

It’s pretty well documented that I’m not a huge fan of bicyclists on the road but this is clearly a different situation. If the bikes had lights they weren’t stopping a drunken idiot hell bent on passing to the point he was willing to pass on the right……and presumably at least partially on the shoulder….and presumably at high speed. Drunks suck..

Because Brady is clueless beyond the run game.

Come on dude. There were better ways of working “happy ending” into the “stick shift” thread. You didn’t even try to mention Bob Kraft? Weak.

Spoiler alert: We’re not a passing team. We’re a “complementary” team.

TJ Watt’s incredible self promotional sack dances have a huge impact in the 9 games he plays in. I wish Groot would learn a crazy dance.

Very cryptic interview. I didn’t understand any of it.

Not the way I meant it. I meant unproven and I hope they prove it.

You have a point there. I did say we should get something in return. IMO we need more than just fun loving people everywhere. It needs to be a mixture. When you take a serious guy like Diggs and kick him to the curb because there are fun loving goofballs running around everywhere, that brings a lot of risk. Too many is too many.

Huh? Questionable means unproven. It does not mean “bad” as you seem to be implying. We lost a lot of proven leaders. It is questionable whether they have been properly replaced. Until and unless the new leaders prove themselves, “questionability” isn’t an opinion. If I said “I think they will fail” or “I think they’ll be great”, those would be opinions.

In statistics there is a concept called “random sample” and another called “statistically significant”. So while true that not everyone in the league was asked, it is also true that it is a representation of the thoughts of players.

If it was one guy like Jalen Ramsey then 100%. But the entire league voted him the most overrated player. Personally, I don’t agree at all but I’m not on the field seeing what these guys are seeing.

Well the Miller comment and the departing cap space are facts correct? I called the leadership “questionable”. That’s a fact. I didn’t “none”, “devoid” or “lacking”. Do you think there is sufficient “proven” leadership? And sure you can say the comment on Brady’s offense is opinion. It is opinion. Anything is possible and maybe Brady will reverse his track record AND McD will allow him to take off the training wheels. At least it’s more likely than Rich Kotite making a comeback and winning the Super Bowl. So we’ve got that going for us.

Von Miller isn’t a cap drain? Departed players aren’t sucking up our cap room? Those aren’t facts?

When Brady fails I’m hopeful McD will realize he needs a real OC that will bring his own offensive philosophy. Heretofore the focus has been on the offense not putting the defense behind some perceived eight ball.

Elite QB physically. At times he shows up to games unprepared. He is clearly not respected around the league. Is that a lack of leadership? He needs to become a leader or show that he already is a leader. To date he has seemed to be sensitive to criticism and had his best weapon shipped off to Houston. Strong defense? We might but the brains are gone. I have high hopes for Rousseau 2024 edition. I love Oliver. After that we’ll see. Have to make the playoffs before executing in the playoffs. It’s not unreasonable but it’s not forgone.

It’s actually optimism mostly. Just not for 2024. After 2024 I think Beane will have a good feel for next steps. Expecting a team with big holes, salary cap vortices like Von Miller and departed players, questionable on field leadership and a weak offensive philosophy to flourish now is unrealistic. Realizing this is not pessimism.

Me too. Probably not though.

Fair enough. Will edit.

Plausible.
