Come on man that is just stupid

I mean the scheme. We are not re-writing the script, we are just writing it better.

Alright well the offense doesn't look any different from recent weeks, just better execution up front.

He looked a bit gimpy on the field in pre-game warmups. Not expecting him to be featured a ton today

That was a great angle and acceleration by Johnson

He is but any safety 1v1 against Garrett Wilson is a huge mismatch. That's a scheme issue IMO

Well we got lucky the pass was a bit wide... Not a fan of that defensive series at all but I'll take it

I know our defense usually settles in but we're a team built to play from ahead so we can't just keep digging ourselves a hole early... Way too easy for them so far

CJ Mosley is back as expected:

I'll trade Cook for Taron Johnson and Shakir. Easily. If we lose it won't be because we're missing a RB.

I'm also shocked by how lucky other teams get. Missed FGs, fumbles that happen to get smacked out of bounds. Must be nice.

This is my first time in a while watching a full game of Daniel Jones and it's shockingly bad. Bad accuracy at every level of the field, bad reads, bad pocket presence, middling arm strength. He has a $47.8 MILLION cap hit this year, for that?

They should bench him honestly

The FS watches Burrow start to run out of the pocket and immediately starts sprinting in the complete opposite direction leaving that entire half of the field wide open

Reality is setting in that the best player in franchise history may end his career without a Super Bowl and no one has any idea if the owner cares enough to make changes. It is depressing watching this regime continue to make the same poor decisions that have already failed them before.

First of all, the fanbase's desires don't apply to the process even a little bit. McDermott owns those decisions. It is a plain fact that Dorsey and Brady were handed their jobs without any kind of competition. Sham interview process is the exact right way to describe it. Second of all, just speaking for myself here but I did not agree with those hires. My thought process for years has been that you have an elite QB in his prime, so you should have no shortage of experienced proven offensive minds banging on the door trying to re-ignite their careers. It's possible McDermott could have struck gold with one of those hires and found his own version of Ben Johnson, but he didn't so now there is no reason to think he has an eye for offensive coaching acumen. Seems to me like he just made safe picks with people that he already knew he could work with, which kind of encapsulates his entire tenure here to be honest.

I've been saying you need two of three factors to be elite to have a championship level offense - QB, coaching, and supporting cast. Teams like the Vikings and 49ers are doing it without the QB but with elite coaching and talent. For some reason once we got the QB we stopped trying to become elite in either of the other two areas. It would be one thing if we had tried the right strategy but the process failed. That is a little more forgivable. But looking at the resources invested on offense and the OC hires we clearly did not follow the right strategy. Bad strategy, bad process. What do you know, we have a bad offense.

Yeah McDermott can't be allowed to just fire another OC and pick his replacement. Dorsey and Brady were his hires after sham interview processes in both cases. At some point the evidence is the evidence. If he can't get that side of the ball right, the league is brimming with coaches that can.

I've watched almost as much Chiefs football as I've watched Bills football the past couple years. On the whole their pass catchers and OTs definitely limit their offense, but every time they need a drive or a play they are able to manufacture one. Watching their scheme compared to ours is like watching a different sport. They also have the luxury of playing a very specific brand of football because their defense is always clutch when they need to be. I mean always. But of course I wish we had more talent. Talent wins out over scheme every time. Still I think in spite of that there are positive plays being left on the field because our coaching is below the top tier.

I remained skeptical after the Dolphins game when the common belief was that he had put on a clinic. I let myself be convinced after the Jags game but now we see that team for what it is and everything since then has confirmed my worst fears about him. It's not that he's awful but he's really lacking compared to the true championship contenders. I really don't understand the strategy the past few years. Underinvest in the offensive personnel and also hire green offensive coaches that have zero proof of concept at the NFL level.

The more analysis I've seen of the last game the more I come away thinking Brady is a larger problem than previously thought. Nothing about our offense is crisp and nothing is innovative. The WRs aren't being coached to execute on scramble drills. The run scheme is basic. The OL still regularly gets confused on exotic pressure looks. The play calling is predictable. We have no counterpunch when defenses figure out what we want to do. There is a lot of high level offensive coaching throughout the league right now and we just don't have that unfortunately. Not that I really blame Joe Brady. We intentionally did not invest much in the offense so the OC was always going to have his work cut out for him. And then we handed Brady the job without actively searching for better. The offense was set up to fail and now we see the entirely predictable result.

Washington/Baltimore has surprisingly become a defensive struggle.

Something I've noticed watching Washington/Baltimore - Washington is making it a point to shut down Derrick Henry first. They are telling Baltimore if they want to sustain drives it will have to come through the air. So far that strategy has forced 1 INT and one drive ending in a FG. It is counterintuitive to how most defenses are coached right now but you have to play them like the unique offense that they are.

They were both bad contracts. I'm annoyed that Beane didn't properly address the WR room. That doesn't mean overpaying for Davis would have been a good decision.

Great he caught 2 of the 4 TDs that hit him in the hands. Another classic 50% performance, in a blowout loss. In your opinion is he worth the contract that the Jags paid him?
