I'm coming around to this point of view. McDermott seems to be running short of ideas on D, like later-years Belichick. In that his core concepts seem to be married to specific physical traits at specific positions, which build structural weaknesses into his units.
Simply put, you can't run a defensive philosophy based on forcing the opponent into long drives when:
1. Your run defense is catastrophic.
2. You're mediocre at best on 3rd down.
Random thought that's been rolling around in the NFL part of my brain.
I wonder if the Bills are mulling over whether to accept that Josh is going to have a short, brilliant career as a multi-threat QB. Or whether they'll keep him in the pocket and try to morph him into a "Dice them up with football IQ" type guy who plays until he's 38-40.
My heart wants them to cut him loose and let him play however he wants, knowing he may well be toast by 32 or 33.
My head says our window is his career, so his career should be as long as they can make it.
Welp, that's quite the indictment of Josh (who is untouchable) and McDermott (who is untouchable for now).
Brady's scheme is sound and the WRs aren't the problem.
Quite honestly the most depressing thing I've read today. The fish is rotting from the head.
AI is either the bubble of all bubbles, or it's going to make huge swathes of white collar and service work obsolete.
Either way, main street will get *****, and the rich will get richer, or get bailed out.
Here's your factoid of the week.
If we beat the Dolphins, the all time record between us and Miami improves to 62-62-1. We'll have officially erased "0 for the 70s".
Huh.
Spannenberger's going to win with something like 60% of the vote. Did not see that coming.
She's getting something like 2020 type numbers from black (won 90%) and latino (won 64%) voters. Lost men by 8%, won women by 24%, lost whites by 10%, won non-whites by 53%.
