Thanks I must’ve heard wrong.

did anyone see him on the field though? Wasn’t it weird?

Why are they getting better? They don’t have a ton of cap space and have a lot of starters on defense that are UFA. BB is also not the best drafter. I could pretty easily see a regression next year cause the offense gets a little better but the defense gets a lot worse. That Jonnu contract is gonna hurt.

I would argue it was a good both times. Stopping the clock in both situations was important

He said after the wind was making it sorta impossible to field. I am with you though. Hyde all the way. All I want for the postseason is to get the ball to josh after every punt.

Sure but I think the poster was saying we were that close to the 1 seed. Thus we don’t need to discuss firing McDermott. Now if your stance is that because the titans made that one extra play that we didn’t means we should fire McDermott, then I don’t know what to say to you.

We play on turf? What type of astropotato did they grow.

solid depth. if obada or boogie get hurt.

He didn’t answer me either. I asked him for any example and pointed to KC as a great offense that classically scores in bunches. It’s a bad take on his part.

I think this is peak chargers chargering.

I actually think he might be a better pass catcher than lee smith. On draft night I though brown could be the smith replacement and after checking his measurements were better than lee smith. I suspect Doyle is also faster. I love that they have moved to getting the best 11 guys out there and if that includes 6OL then so be it. I also have thought Knox has been a much better blocker this year. Particularly the falcons game (granted they are not world beaters).

Not gonna get into the edmunds stuff. You don’t need to feel good about what our OL did in the falcons game, but the Jets have legit talent on the DL. It doesn’t come through in their stats but I feel really good with how the OL handled the Jets DL.

Can you show a consistent team that you’re thinking of? No one was complaining when KC would mess around the first half of a game and then score 21 in a quarter.

It’s KC so I don’t feel great with any defense. If I had to choose any defense to get a stop against KC bills would be my top choice. Name 5 defenses you would rather have than the bills in the situation you described.

I think the OPs point is most salient in regards to QB position. It’s the most important position in the game yet 2/3 AFC selections didn’t lead their teams to the post season despite multiple pro bowl selections at other positions from their teams. The thing to probably remember is when this voting took place we were in a bit of a slump. With hindsight both Burrow and Josh (his running more than makes up for any ground lost as a passer) should be in over Herbert and Jackson (huge error). that and it’s crazy the number 1 defense doesn’t have a pro bowler.

Agree I think re-signings like Levi, McKenzie, Milano, Williams show that value.

Fair not EVERY but UFAs are generally overpays. We have hit on some ourselves (Williams last year). But if you’re complaint is we are paying too much for UFAs that are depth then I’m saying that’s pretty typical. I don’t think like any on those were worth their contract but I see the intention in most of them. Klein was insurance against Milano leaving. Mongo we can get out of after this year. I think all of these were luxuries we could afford cause we weren’t paying josh yet. Going forward we’re not gonna be active in UFA at all. Your point is still that we need a dome to get better deals in UFA? I just don’t think it matters that much.

I’m saying any UFA is gonna be an over pay no matter if great, good, backup. I’ve thought we’ve gotten pretty good deals on the players we have re-signed. If you’re speaking to we are overpaying relative to typical UFA overpays, then maybe. But I think the idea that re-signees take deals says it’s more perception than reality as the re-signees have better perspective and they take deals.

Are you complaining about over paying for players during UFA? That’s what happens?

Disagree about current team. Did you see mongo and others last year start a brawl to protect josh. Have you seen Spencer brown just wrecking people through the whistle. Or Dawkins (2nd Covid changed him) who is crushing people. I would say the violence of this team has been huge in the last two games. Singletary has been on angry runs in consecutive weeks.

Ideal? Give me the raiders Sunday at 1 PM.

That was a bit flukey. For the most part it should’ve introduced some parity into the league as it gives more tough games for division winners and more easy games for teams that finished 4th. I also think another bye would be good. To make the schedule work just remove the preseason.

Ed is a better pass rusher. Currently #6 in win rate for DT. Simmons isn’t in the top 10. Simmons is better than Ed (but not harry) in the run game but to say he can’t carry his bag is pretty hyperbolic. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32176833/2021-nfl-pass-rushing-run-stopping-blocking-leaderboard-win-rate-rankings?platform=amp Simmons took a minute to get going honestly. His production has really taken off this year.

Agree. His numbers are comparable to quinnen Williams (who is very good) on pro football reference. Would like to see some rate data from PFF of the two as though Ed has played more games he might have played similar number of snaps.

Yup I totally understand but McKenzie was a concern at the start of the season and has had trouble. I’m at the point I just want Hyde back there to fair catch them all.
