I...I feel like you are trying to make a point but not sure what it is. 😂😂

I would think one of Bates or Feliciano would be held back to be the all-important break glass in case of emergency back-up center. Can't risk them running into each other and both getting hurt with Morse's concussion history.😂😂😂 In all seriousness I almost expect Bobby Hart at LT. Hart-Mongo-Morse-Williams-Brown

It's ok all. Matt Barkley just got placed on COVID list for the Panthers. That sould even things out a bit.

The blocking technique changes on counters and draws. The look is different. Defenders have to react to what they seem. It slows them down. This really isn't rocket science, my dude. I will agree on the issues being roster construction and will add that this regime values position versatility over the mastery of one position...leave the old adage that a jack of all trades is a master of none.

Which is why I said not calling the slow plays would help. And who is talking about Moss? Guy shouldn't be active again. You said there is no way to help...I literally pointed out about 6 things they could do to help...because I realize how bad the blocking is.

Bobby Hart time!!!🤢🤢🤢🤢

You actually can. First off, a true FB on the roster would be a good thing. A game such as the Pats game we didn't even have one active due to injury. That would help. Running draws, traps and counters helps slow down an interior rush as well. Not calling the slow developing RPOs and run options would help. If your guys are getting overpowered inside...slide the blocking assignment so you don't have your guys trying to square up and block...instead your blocker comes from the shoulder and slides the defender out of the play. These are all fairly common tactics to help an overpowered IOL...many of which we simply do not attempt.

The biggest downgrade IMO is that they lost Hooper and Landry as well. Hey have limited pass catchers. David Njoku suddenly becomes a STRONG fantasy play on potential volume alone.

Oh. You again. Yay.

Said it above.... Colts win this weekend--->Bills and Dolphins win out--> NE misses playoffs entirely. Wouldn't that be awesome?😂

Yes, hence why I said we would control our own destiny to the AFCE title.

I can somewhat agree with the thinking to a point. When you face a quick strike offense you get it in your your head all week that you need TDs. FGs won't win again at Mahomes. That was our thought for 20 years facing Brady. However it some point you just need to pile up points when you get the chance. 2 FGs are almost as good as 1 TD. Can't overthink things.

Is this WHY Ralph was cheap? 😂😂

This is a fact. And believe it or not...Miami could potentially knock NE out of the playoffs. Miami (6-7) has: Jets Saints Titans Patriots NE (9-4) has: Colts Buffalo Jacksonville Miami Miami should beat the Jets and Saints. And if they beat the Titans would be sitting at 9-7 for the Pats rematch. NE should beat Jacksonville. If they drop games to the Colts and Bills (both possible) they sit at 10-6. Miami and NE would basically be a play-in game with the winner advancing (Miami hits the 7 seed). NE it 10-7 would have lost the tiebreaker to Miami, the Colts, and the Bills (providing we win out). Hopefully Frank Reich can come through this weekend for the Bills 1 more time.

As long as the Bills win out they are in. After that, it's just a matter of the tiebreaker playing into seeding between the Colts and Bills if both are in the Wild Card.

Competitive people love to compete. While I can't comment on his financial status, we do know this fella has the heart of a warrior.

In fairness, I didn't say he hasn't adjusted...I said he hasn't adjusted well. Be that due to talent, design or playcalling he hasn't found the answers as of yet. I'm with you on the red zone issues. I also don't think it's a coincidence that we are having issues down there in a year that is seeing Josh seemingly scrambling less when we get close. I don't think McD's idea is to turn the team into a power run team. Rather a team that can run with power if need be. I really believe thatbto field the team he wants we need multiple backs...much like NE has always operated. Give me and every down guy (and I believe Motor can be that guy especially behind an improved line). A pass catcher with some shifty abilities. And finally a grinder that can pound a team late in games or in every bad conditions. I think Moss was supposed to be that guy. But obviously this team needs to be and I believe will stay pass heavy.

It seems like the numbers are flying up right now. While we have had a few here and there...it's been a relative non issue compared to some teams. If it's going to sweep through the locker room in big numbers I would almost GUARENTEE it will be a day or 2 before the Pats game.

In the event Daboll leaves I feel like Dorsey would be looked at for sure. I also think people are sleeping on Chad Hall, our WRs coach as a possible option. I would like to hope if there is an opening at OC that it would go to the best possible person to full the position and not Dorsey (or Hall) just because it's convient. Continuity is a great thing....however sometimes getting new eyes on the issues and voices in the room can help a team learn and grow as well.

I don't know that I agree with this. McD is a huge believer in teaching and coaching players up. Putting them in ths best situation to be successful. Success starts at coaching. As bad as this line has played it times it's been a mixed bag as to why. While talent has been an issue we also have seen both tackles regress (while we believe Dawkins is due to COVID McD has downplayed that angle when asked). Feliciano, while never an All-Pro has seemed to take a step back as well. Ford, who McD calls a "good football player" has struggled. Morse has been the only starter from last year that has even somewhat stayed the same. More importantly we really haven't seen Daboll adjust well to the struggles upfront. His idea of still spreading it out and giving little help to this tackles (does he even know it's legal for a RB or TE to "chip" a DE on the way to their route?) has been a disaster at times. It's like when you cook dinner. Would be great to have prime rib every night. However, sometimes when you open the fridge and see ground beef you have to make due and still create a tasty meal. Seems like all Daboll knows how to cook is Hamburger Helper. And while that can be ok once in a while (Cheeseburger Mac is the best IMO) he serves the same dish night after night...even though not one eats it.

That Pats/Colts game really should tell us our best shot at seeding. Pats win and our only hope is to win out and hope the Dolphins beat the Pats again in the final week. Colts win and we control our own destiny to the AFCE title. I'm pulling for the Colts here since division is still in play and I feel like the Bills stand a great shot at winning out.

I wouldn't say he's on a hot seat...but I definitely think he's under McD's microscope. There have been a few times post game when McD is asked about a bad offensive performance that he has replied in almost the same way as he did when Rick Dennison was here. Almost verbatim in tone and words. I think if the Bills don't improve on a few things offensively (such as scoring TDs in the Red Zone) that replacing him is on the table if they feel they can find an upgrade.

Looks like he would fit in nicely actually. "Hits the line with physicality and has the ability to wear down a defense. Can run between the tackles but improved burst allows him to run outside." https://247sports.com/player/zach-charbonnet-46045836/

Foles? Was he the only one to play and get a ring? He coached too? What a moronic statement. What was Andy Reid before Mahomes? A career playoff choke artist that was 50-50 to make the playoffs with Alex Smith every year. Revisionist history is amazing.

Yes. They won a Super Bowl🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️
