If were spending that, we can get much better prospects without glaring flaws than Olave. 1st and 3rd probably gets you Addison, with 2 FULL years signed left, his hit for this year would be a hair under $2M. DJ Moore is 1st & 3rd territory as well, unsure of the contract though. The "Coleman and a 5th" guys are delusional.... but I think he has some value. Coleman + 2nd and 3rd / Coleman + 1st + 5th , type deal also gets it done, and keeps a GM from getting killed by the media/fans. Im fully expecting a big WR, id be shocked if we dont

If we get a sure fire dude I dont care. How much money have we wasted chasing half measures. We pick late too. Drafting one is expensive, and nobody wants to move down that far.... and thats based on potential. Stop being cheap, go pay the going rate for a true #1, and then guess what.... you can be done with it. The opportunity loss cost has been high enough, with no end in sight. You get what you pay for

How would we know? BC Brady inherited an over the top checked out, mental midget version of Diggs? Then inherited a trash WR core otherwise? Brady has pissed me off plenty, but we need a WR this year and following years anyways, lets at least see what Brady can do with a #1, not a cast of #3's. If he cant make it work, than our new OC(staff?) will have a WR. I'm going all in for Jordan Addison, he'd have 2 years after this. Call them up and ask them what they want, name your price. We saw what an old, half retired Cooper did for us just with his reputation/presence. Lets get a young stud in here that wants to win and wants to show he's a #1. Give Josh some help. The only way were winning anything is on Josh's talent.... so wasting resources on the defense is not viable, and has shown its not. Help the guy who can make it happen. Hell, go win a SB and then see what type of HC you can hire. You think nobody would be lining up for that job?!?

Addison makes a helluva lot more sense for all involved, is younger, easily fit under the cap, and not on a team thinking about repeating. I think its so doable. Beane mind as well make a splash play, what's he going to save picks for someone else? Were one receiver and McD taking over play calling away from still being a SB threat (despite coaching, not anything theyre doing).

Whats your move Kirby? I know game just ended. Im not willing to throw away a Josh Allen season. I want McD gone immediately, but cant justify it with two young coordinators. I highly suspect Babich lost game call duties at half time. I think im: -Firing Babich in AM -McD can call rest of year -Go get the best WR you can -Kick the tires on a 2nd RB upgrade or rental (lowest priority by far, but exploring) -Telling Brady to pull out all the stops. Unlearn the word complimentary. The goal is 40/game. Get ahead, turn these offenses into 1-D units, let these pass rushers get after it full time

Has this ever happened? Seems unlikely. Having two young Coordinators makes it harder. Im not thrilled with the options but if im given the driver seat: Fire Babich, McD can finish season out calling plays on defense... add him to the trash heap Black Monday

This is the most well reasoned take, IIIIFFFF im guaranteed that McD is gone without a SB win. If theres a chance that we let McD snakes his way into keeping his job, then just get him off the staff

Im calling it right now. McD "took over" play calling at half time. Babich gets fired tmrw. Honestly Babich is a problem, but this all comes back to HC. His scheme. His unpreparedness. His staff in that, hes been allowed to keep this long of a leash. Tackling. Entire secondary cant cover. No in game nor game by game adjustments.

Who else you gunna have finish out the season. Obviously I meant interim. We probably have one chance the rest of Josh career to get this hire right. Nobody is entrusting that to Joe Brady without a SB appearance after he gets moved up. Hell, even then im not handing him the job. As of right now im probably turning over most of my searches from NCAA pool. Go big or go home. No retread and NO defense first HC. Give me continuity on offense as priority. I dont care if we win 49 - 21, this is unacceptable, and i hope we dont lose track of that feeling

Ive defended it enough. I am 100% fine with promoting Joe Brady, and giving Beane the rest of the season to see how teams responds. The injuries absolutely brutal, but I don't care. What does McD bring to this team? 35yard chunk yard plays continually.

Since hes slacking and everything, any chance hed want an easy job like DC lol what if NFL teams refuse to hire him because hes only got a few years overall left... then again Pete Carroll got hired

I think it buys him time to get to end of season. If i were them, theres not much he could do to save the job. Get the kid a real coach. Plus they need to ditch Schoen.... why let a dead man walking help do all your offseason coaching, only to get fired by week 4 next year? They havent seen enough??!?

Thats one way to make up for putting Vrabel in our division!

'Jaqen H'ghar'. I was expecting to find the face of someone looking like a 5star prospect in the secondary out of Miami-Dade county.... not the face of a man at the Ren-Faire not allowed near schools

I saw he was questionable with neck, ribs and something else... shoulder? Im more irritated about that than I even am about Poyer. I believe I saw Settle was leading league in pressures, or something similar

The idea that our offense is going to play like it is right now, and magically still score against the Spags/Fangios of the league in the playoffs feels so flawed to me. Im a Beane enjoyer, I think his drafts have been very good.... that half measures to address WR position since 2020 (jon brown/ cole, diggs) has been frustrating all along. Ive never waivered on Beane, but am ready for a change from McD. Those things feel in conflict, hard to picture Beane being able to stay if Coach got fired, so ive been hesitant. If we cant atleast make the SB, Im wanting us to make a change... would prefer Beane stay, but if theyre a package deal, then ill take my chances with a new HC and GM. I hope they both recognize it too. Are they going to be glad they saved draft picks for the new GM if they lose their job? I dont trust the defense to get it done. I think we're 2-3 first downs away from icing the Chiefs in our last 2 elimination games. Asking the offense to grab a few extra first down to ice the game feels a helluva lot more obtainable than asking the defense to get 2 more stops.

I know youre more plugged in than 99% here. Any idea if the bolded is widely thought around NFL FO's as of late? Obv entire offices arent going to be aligned on everything, but any sense if this logic is picking up steam? From the outside it appears that way. Certainly not expecting an NHL type deadline, but hoping it keeps trending upwards this year. Seems like weve seen a decent amount of moves this early into season already

Cooper was likely already deciding retirement was near. Add an injury and feeling his body no longer cooperate likely cemented it. It was a calculated risk that didnt work out, im ok with it. My preference this year is young and established stud. My exception is for a late round trade for D-Hop as a hes plug n play, hungry, and wants a ring. But hes down the list for me. Just no half measures. I dont care if we have to overpay relative to market. Were a fairly polished team and a stud WR is worth more to us than most other teams. Im fine paying the premium. Josh's career wont last forever. KC & Balt arent serious, and our AFC competition right now is *checks notes* Indianapolis lol Also the Eagles are far from the team they were last year. They could heat up, but that defense isnt returning to last years form. SB has never been so attainable IMO

It shouldnt lol id say thanks for the lucky guess, and get the kid a real coach

Its kinda easy, you warn him, once hes done it a second time you upgrade it to unsportsmanlike... next one after that you toss him. Theyve got enough game footage to do it. Its one thing when its an accident, but when it becomes a players plan and gets this far outta hand... its g2 gooooo

At the least, its public pressure to ban it. Full disclosure, I love the play, I know many dont! My gripe is being allowed to false start and line up Offside. Its just too damn much at this point. Sounds like refs cant ref it, so the only thing left is to ban it. We learn to run it the exact same way, to negate their advantage.... go to a gimmicky route like OL become LBers, or whatever..... continue to overload the publics servers by making it even more ridiculous LOL

Agree with your post. However, with the newer kickoff rules and the league still trying to figure these out, its not as clear cut as it was a few years ago IMO. 15secs isnt a lot of time either way, and the offense doesnt have much speed anyways... I'm actually in same boat as you, especially needing 3 points, but i think its less egregious of a decision than it used to be. Better of trying to sneak a 20yd play off on 1st down.... then throw the hail mary, hope for a miracle or a pass interference with a chance to kick even with clock at 0:00

This is a Gabe stat, disregard. Also, most of these ppl asking for downfield stuff arent asking for 4 Verticals. We want regular plays like 2021 with Jon Brown back in the mix.<--- thats bolded because its important, in the mix. Remember how we functioned on that wild intermediate throws only offense, griping we had no YAC.... and we had no YAC bc there were a ton of routes kinda designed to put WR's 20 yds down field, at the sideline making the grab.... spread the field out, but also, if a throw got tipped or dropped, it was more likely to end up safe out of bounds. Intermediate: we had multiple versions and depths of Corners/Comebacks That was a beautiful offense, but we relied on it too heavily. Diff coordinators obv, but feels like we've over corrected in the opposite direction. Maybe you schedule a drive one in every 4... or an opening drive of a quarter, where we go up-tempo with some intermediate. Maybe a half drive like this... have fun get creative, mix it up. Josh's arm is built so beautifully for these. Ppl think the deep ball is what his arms for. IDGAF about 60 yard bombs really, too inconsistent to rely on. But the intermediate mixed in, thats why you want a QB with a howitzer!!! ^^Truth is we dont have the WR's to do this at will. Thats sad. Bringing in a true #1, would make every other WR on the team so much better too 😕

I think its a schtick. A satire of his real personality, and a need to be liked especially when facing the media. Not HC material, but thats OK. Id freaking love to get him on staff somehow. Hes had just about the worlds hardest job the last few years, with a collection of the worst kids at school in his classroom. Id bet coming here with good structure in place, a chip on his back to show he belongs and the ability to just get back to X's and O's. We've seen some of the better coordinators cement themselves as great at their jobs after a demotion on the league. They are the guys that made them good enough coordinators to get hired, with new skills and revamped ability to handle stress/workload. I think he hates HC and loved being a coordinator, and hes proved to himself hes not HC material. That means an offensive minded guy on staff, you dont have to start thinking about losing after 4 games under Josh Allen. Sign me all the way the **** up!

I'd say you might be able to get an interim guy to cooperate on making sure you don't screw up your draft positioning! ... but honestly those dudes almost always end up fired too. trying to remember the last guy promoted to interim, who got the reigns the next year??? any of these guys active today get their HC job that way? I know coordinators do a decent amount, IF, HC is staying on
