An autospy sounds fancy. Bill Belichick is salivating at the prospect.

So true. This is a dumb thread.

The Seahawks became the Seahawks back then by having two or three really good drafts in a row. It wasn't just the secondary. They got a lot of good players on both sides of the ball.

I'm all for it. It is the piece we are missing.

Wow. The Raiders could be interesting if they find a QB.

What do you mean give a pass? Are you saying other teams would be firing Joe Brady by this point?

I think the player talent is overrated by Bills fans. The Bills have a legitimately great oline. Basically every other player is not as good as Bills fans think they are. A few are better than Bills fans think, though.

I've wondered this myself.

Taron was still good. He just wasn't as good as he has been in previous years. That isn't how it works in the NFL. The most talented team is not always the one to win the Superbowl. In fact, quite often it is not.

I don't think Shakir is an elite receiver by any stretch of the imagination. But he is good. I agree with your top 5. Those are the elite players. The Bille need to have an elite game wrecker on the defensive line, and they don't. That has been the one place they can't seem to get right.

Easier said than done, though.

That's the right mentality for a player. Don't worry about the refs. Dominate so they can't even be a factor.

Wow. He must have been really sweating seeing what happened to Watson, wondering if he would be next. I wonder if that has anything to do with his drop off in play. I'm not making any judgements. I always let these things play out. We'll see where it goes.

He traded for Rasul Douglas, and he became an impact starter.

Didn't they try something else? They signed Von Miller. They traded for Amari Cooper. Beane says these things, but there is a competitive advantage to keeping your plans under wraps. I hope he sees that he needs to bring in another elite player this year somehow, someway. An elite pass rusher. Just get it done whatever it takes.
