Big Blitz

Thank you for your service! Moving on…..

First plank - being right all the time.

Was going to post this. Yep.

Yea it might actually be the last 7 games including the Steelers of this season. 6-6. Come back to win the division at 11-6. Win another playoff game. I’m still just dejected about the Chiefs not angry. I can live with losing - I can’t stand losing down our dawgs like this. It’s absolutely soul sucking. And make no mistake, if Milano White and Bernard and Benford are here - we’re playing Baltimore this week. The thing about their injuries tho - if they did play all year, does Dorsey ever lose his job? 2024 season can’t get here fast enough. I love our core - on O - Allen Diggs Kincaid Shakir Cook Knox the Oline. On D - Milano Bernard Dorian (you’ll see) Benford Douglas Oliver Von Rousseau Taron Get a safety. A WR 1 A Manny Sanders FA type Resign Daquan Jones Get another 2 DEs and rotational DTs The WR 1 will be the toughest the others are very doable.

I’ll just leave this here. It’s so easy for them to lie to their base because they have no convictions. Only desire is power and control. If you wonder how they could dupe so many into staying 6 feet apart and masked that’s why.

Taron Johnson pick 6 vs Baltimore

This is a totally different league than when he last coached in it. Good luck to them. He might be the 4th best coach in that division.

Draft 2. Don’t care where. And Trade candidates using draft picks or roster players I’d explore: DK Metcalf One of the Packers kids - Watson McClaurin or Dotson Jameson Williams Hollywood Brown Courtland Sutton Drake London Players I’d package to get a WR along the lines of the guys above that might make sense: Elam OR….Benford. This team just develops CBs. If we can draft one to replace Benford and it gets us Drake London - yes I’m doing that. Also, I’m a bit concerned Benford is injury prone. Would much rather ship Elam - but I’m not sure he has any value. Rousseau. We signing him? Entering year 4. What do we got here? Washington needs DEs. Maybe we can get Dotson - who I love and would be a better version of Smoke. James Cook. Yep. Peak value might be right now. What if Washington wants to pair him with Robinson or the Packers to pair with Aaron Jones. 2 more seasons then he’s gone via free agency anyway. Don’t get too attached. Just spit balling ideas not saying I would or want to trade those guys. I just think they’re realistic trade pieces for a football trade or maybe a package to move up in the draft and get more picks.

Going to be starting a Trump Twitter thread soon for all to see the delusion that is “Only Trump” world. There will be receipts.

What WR did well vs Sneed this year? When the Raiders beat the Chiefs they completed 9 passes. Adams was targeted 6 times and had one catch. Hill 5 for 62 yards. AJ Brown 1 catch for 8 yards. My preseason prediction of defenses catching up to offenses has happened. These DBs in 2023 can cover. I’m noticing a trend to throw more WR screens seems league wide - my theory is these DBs can cover but can’t tackle and don’t take on blocks well. All the 7 on 7s are great. Until the pads come on. Sure you can run with elite WRs but can you tackle.

All of America stops what it’s doing when Josh Allen is in on TV. I can testify to this living outside NY and what other fans say. Allen and Mahomes are in a tier of their own - but I’ll put Lamar here with them. Tier 1 - All they do is win and they are must see TV: 1. Allen 2. Mahomes 3. Jackson Tier 2 - I will start a franchise with them 3. Stroud 4. Herbert - but no playoff wins - the Dan Marino of this era so far; more talented teams than the Bills should make us appreciate McD more. Harbaugh to the rescue. Tier 3 - I think they’re here bc of surrounding talent tier: 5. Burrow - nice to have 2 of the 10 best WRs in the game and a top 10 RB. And a great 3rd WR. Seems to be piling up injuries. Feels like he’s deliberately cocky to make him seem better than he is. He’s this next guy: 6. Purdy - it’s like Burrow. There is no difference to me. They’re the same QB. 7. Hurts - everything went right in 2022 Tier 4: I have questions: 8. Lawrence - how do you lose to the Titans? 9. Love - made the top 10. But, can we see it for a full season 10. Dak - I’m not sure you’re good at throwing outside. The actual Philip Rivers of this era.

Amon-Ra St. Brown went in the 4th round of this draft. And Creed Humphrey 2 picks after Basham.

Eagles. And Miami wants Staley.

I would like to pick the best DE, Safety, and WR and I don’t care what order they’re in. We need to hit on a Puuka Nukua - that’s also not luck - that’s scouting. The Rams know what they’re doing. Tank Dell, Nukua, St. Brown - WR does not have to be a round 1 priority anymore.

McD stay DC. Brady OC New ST coach New DL coach

I was comfortably in this place after the 2020 season. Now, I’m getting anxious. In 2 years Josh will be 30. How many more years at the peak of these current powers will he have? 3? Maybe 5? The good news is by then 14 other elite AFC QBs will be into year 2 or 3 of their 300 million dollar contracts to so….even playing field?

Joe Brady ran this offense the way I saw Tom Brady and the Patriots run their offense during the peak years of Brady and McDaniels. You attack the defenses weakness especially if it’s your strength. Don’t force anything you aren’t good at. If the defense is strong vs the pass you run the ball - quick releases if the pass rush is elite. We faced the Jets Cowboys Chiefs twice and Miami in 5 of the last 8 games. They are very good against the pass and in man coverage. I have no problem attacking the strengths if you have elite weapons to do it. That said - and this is the good news going forward - the plans worked and we beat all those teams until our D fell apart Sunday. Yes we need weapons. But more then anything else we need an OC that knows what he’s doing building a game plan, calling the game, and making in game adjustments. Hopefully Brady is that guy. He looks like it to me.

This is how I see it. Find the next WR 1. Everything gets easier after that.

I’m not angry like last year or the 13 seconds finish. Woke up today and just….sad. This team is wasting opportunities and there is no easy fix. There are elite QBs all over the AFC. It seems like it’s impossible for this team to get over the hump. The cap. The coaching questions. The personnel on offense. If you lose fine with your guys to a better team fine. But I cannot stand these injuries anymore. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Tre Von Milano Daquan Bernard Benford Davis Deep down I think the Chiefs probably felt about this game as I did going into KC. They were banged up then and we weren’t. It was reversed yesterday. I really can’t accept McD or this team can’t beat them bc we have. More than any team. And KC beats everyone. 6 straight AFC title games. Why should I be mad? Those injuries are the difference. It’s that close. It’s the “I just don’t see how we get there” dread I feel. And it’s not that we can’t fix these things. It’s full Buffalo. Something is going to happen. Offense was clean all year. So you know what that means for next year. It never ends in this city. Please Lord keep Josh healthy.

That division isn’t a 4th place schedule and neither is the AFC. The AFC North plays the NFC East in 2024. Bengals are also at the Chiefs and at the Cowboys.

And Thuney got hurt. Why is Eric Washington still coaching here?

He’s still here playing while the other QBs mentioned in this thread are home or haven’t won their divisions let alone a playoff game. Burrow can’t stay on the field - does Higgins leave? Herbert? Has to deal with Mahomes. Lamar? Same division as Burrow. Stroud? We’ll see how good he is on a post Slowick team. Lawrence? I mean I don’t even know. Allen has done more with less than all these QBs have - including Stroud who has nice weapons and a great oline (Tank Dell and Nico - not 1st round picks btw). No reason to think this won’t just stay the same but eventually he’s going to play with talent on offense similar to what those teams have.

Karlaftis had 10 sacks and Jones moves around. KC has a great secondary and great DC that knows how to use them. Also, they’re lucky to be here (Mahomes) and are going to get curb stomped by Baltimore.

He didn’t but they’re saying he declined to meet with them last week to.
