I KNOW HE WAS UNDER CONTRACT FOR 2 MORE YEARS. I DO NOT CARE. he OUTPLAYED that deal. Do you know what outplayed means? He deserved to be paid among the best in the league which he was not paid at compared to the other guys at the time. WRs he was on par with were making $8 or 9$ million more a season than he was. He paid a productive WR what was rightfully deserved at the time. Yeah, you don't resign a player with chronic injury problems. So, Spencer Brown I would agree with if it didn't work out. But this blame he his he is taking for Diggs is ridiculous. And why are we even talking about it? The assumption that the other guy made saying that McDermott has bailed Beane out is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. They have done great things together. Neither is perfect. They have made few mistakes but the good has far outweighed the bad with both. The players Beane has drafted is a big part of our success. He isn't bailed out by McDermott, that's just complete nonsense.

Dude, you resign good players. Diggs was someone we needed at the time and may have held out if not for an explosion in market rate at the time. At that point, I didn't care about what happened in Minnesota or what exactly from all that was true. He gave a productive WR an extension that didn't work out. My Allen example is still an example of how people will blame Beane for pretty much any extension he makes even if it is warranted and doesn't work out. It happens from time to time. I don't want him extending average players for instance, I think Dawson Knox's deal was a terrible deal and I blame Beane for that. I do not blame him for the Diggs deal

You don't blame a GM for extending guys he should. You blame a GM for extending and giving guys money that don't deserve it. That wasn't the case case with Diggs at the time. Now if he extended Gabe Davis and gave him $20-$25 million a season or even signed him to what Jacksonville did, then yes, you blame him. You don't blame a GM for giving well deserved contracts that don't work out mid way through

Yes, he gave Diggs the deal. If he had known Diggs would become a baby with an attitude after the 2nd year of that new deal, I highly doubt he would have done it. I don't understand how you can blame Beane even now for doing it at the time. Again, if he signed Allen to a massive 5 year extension after this season and then Allen all of a sudden started playing like Zach Wilson for the next 3 years and then we trade him, is Beane to blame for that based on Allen's current career production? No. Nor should he really be blamed that bad for what happened to Diggs

If you don't understand why he made that deal. There is no help for you

Ok. Let's look at this for a second. You realize that the contract that Diggs was playing on was the one he had from Minnesota, correct? After his first 2 years in Buffalo, he outplayed that contract. Dhop was making almost $30 million a wear in Arizona. Davante just got traded that same off-season and was making almost $30 million a season. Tyreek Hill also got traded that same season and made almost $30 million a year. Diggs at the time was still a top 5 WR and was making about $8 or $9 million less a year than those guys and Beane have him a new deal and compensated him fairly with a new deal to give him market rate. It didn't work out but that happens and it was because of Diggs attitude problem. I'm not sure what you don't get about that. It's like I tell people about the Von Miller deal. Yes, now it looks terrible. But I understand at the time why he made that deal. And Von's first year before his injury, it looked like money well spent. That would be like him giving Allen a massive new deal after this season and then Allen follows it with the 3 worst seasons of his career and then people scream "well, that's on Beane". He gave Diggs market at the time. He had no intention of letting Diggs go 2 years into that deal when he made it

According to all the experts, we were supposed to struggle this year and not win the division and possibly not even make the playoffs. I think people would have been impressed if they were 7-5 at this point. We're 10-2. We have beaten an 11-1 team we are doing way better than expected.

I don't blame Beane for giving his Allstars WR at the time fair market value. Again, if Diggs doesn't cause his own way out, he's still here

Wtf are you talking about? Beane gave Diggs that contract because in that particular season when it happened, all of a sudden the WR market started to increase unexpectedly. Davante Adams got traded to and paid a crap ton from the Raiders, Tyreek Hill got traded to Miami and signed an insane deal and Beane have Diggs a Market based deal deservingly so at the time. He parted ways with Diggs this year because it was clear to see Diggs wore out his welcome and didn't want to be here anymore. I can guarantee, if Diggs keeps his mouth shut and plays, he is on this team this year. He forced himself out. Beane chose to get rid of the toxicity Diggs brought. How do you not understand this?

My issue with your post is I feel like your going out of your way too much to discount what they have done. That Chiefs win was a good win against an 11-1 team and it still sounds like you're not impressed. Yes, they are vulnerable, they were last year to. You sound like someone where if we win it all, you would say "yeah, but the other team had some injuries". I can see why your posts have gotten some criticism. Maybe you're right but trying to make the Chiefs sound "far" more vulnerable than last year? Last year they had the same problems. They lost 6 games. And quite frankly, I think the change in OC has been a world of difference for this team. But come on man, what we have done so far this year is insane

So, this is the song played when the Rams get introduced?

Nothing a few cupcakes and cookies can't cure

I think it's much easier to say McDermott got unlucky because unlike Shanahan, McDermott has actually shown he can beat Reid in the regular season at least. And has done it 4 times. Shanahan on the other hand in regular season and Super Bowl I believe is 0-4 against him. I would say McDermott has gotten unlucky

In Shannahan's defense, Lance can't even beat out Cooper Rush for the backup job in Dallas. That has to obviously say something

Is he that desperate?

The good news is, I almost feel like this team is more dialed in than they ever have been. Even missing guys, we have just been mauling people. I think the players want it bad

You could probably go to a local bar or something, right?

F*ck yeah. Give me that Super Bowl win against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. That would feel so legit and satisfying. God I'm excited

We're still possibly gonna fighting for the 1. Secondly, you can't keep him out week 17, and 18. The last thing we need is rustiness going into the playoffs. If we have a shot at the 1, he needs to go all the way to week 18. Even if we clinch the 1 before then, he still needs to play a half at the very least in week 18.

I don't think Belichick wins anywhere ever again. Brady was the best ever. Allen is a HOF talent but there is just something about Brady that I think even Rich Kotite would have got a few Super Bowls with. I think Belichick would get to the playoffs but I think he is an otherwise overrated coach. Brady would have put Arians in the HOF to if he would have got more time with him

Micah Micah Hyde Micah Hydey Hydey Ho

This is why I have said on a number of occasions, you don't make a coaching change until he loses the lockerroom. We have a good thing going here. The last thing we need is a coach here that the players don't like, don't respect and have no desire to play for. And until they give up on McDermott, I'm keeping him here

Games need announcers. It would be too weird watching without them

I'm confused....when did Ed Oliver go to Miami?

What annoys me is they lowered OT during the regular season to 10:00 because of "player safety" but then they keep doing this stuff. Like 10:00 OT is beyond dumb. Just bring back the 15:00 OT
