Woof. CTE is no joke.

Have to outscore them. Defense doesn’t matter. Draft speed skill players

Swift is somehow involved as well. This feels so terrible

So I guess Chiefs fans like the touchback rule again?

Justin Watson is a nice player. Fast and big and a UPenn guy so assumming he is smart. I mentioned I thought he could be a sneaky good signing this past offseason. Good player.

Part of that is the failures early in the draft and all the early picks used on running backs. You have to hit on those early round picks and not draft for need. The first time we actually seemed to ignore need and actually draft BPA is the Kincaid pick and that is looking like a home run.

I’m ok with it. As others have said, I wish they had a real search and interviewed Kellen Moore, Kingsbury etc. but here we are. If we didn’t hire Brady as the OC someone else would have, so I’m fine with it. I like Brady and hopefully he dusts off some of that LSU magic.

Now they want to keep it close. If it’s 21-7 at half people are changing the channel

I told you guys Brown was gonna be good! I’m wrong a lot so I will take this slight victory! Much improved this year.

Man I hate these dudes

I mean the weak spot on the chiefs are the tackles. If you just aren’t going to call offensive holding at all, basically it’s impossible to beat Mahomes. And I get, they aren’t calling much. It’s the playoffs. But the weak spot on the roster is allowed to cheat, its gonna be a long day.

I found this quote by McDermott interesting when talking about Babich: “Good coach. He’s developed players and I think when you evaluate a coach it’s ‘are you taking what you have and making it better.’ And I think it doesn’t need to get any more complex than that, and Bobby’s done that.” So did Washington take what he was handed and make it better? I would say absolutely not. To me this is not a loss but has the potential to be a chance to add something new.

Maybe I am giving McDermott too much credit, but perhaps a Babich was the plan. Maybe he wanted to model how he wants things done for Babich, who had never seen Sean call plays. Maybe it was a 1 year idea to reset expectations of the defensive staff to what the HC truly wants and kind of wipe away the Frazier influence.

I’m calling Ryan Kerrigan right now. He’s in limbo in Washington as the assistant DL coach and he obviously is familiar with the system having worked for Ron Rivera. He’d be the fresh bright mind who had success as a player.

Bernard is going to be the mike for a while. They went out of their way to praise him. Linebacker is the last place they will look to upgrade, aside from depth adds.

I think the doom and gloom is over McDermott’s return. At least for me. In terms of defensive holes, they will figure it out.

Desai was scapegoated in Philly, but doesn’t have an extensive body of work. He has however worked under some interesting guys including John Fox, Vic Fangio, Mike Pettine etc. The one thing I will say is he is an interesting guy you can freely add to the staff if he doesn’t become the DC. Others have mentioned, what is most significant here is that they are doing DC interviews. I hope that means they promote Babich.

Soooooo start donating in 9 dollar increments to Thad Lewis’ charity after he loses out on the OC job?

I just don’t think they will keep both. If Tre’s rehab is going well, I think the would move on from Douglas, maybe a trade, but he has no dead money on his deal. It’s like 9 million in savings. I think he was a rental to try to get to the super bowl this year. They should extend him 100%. I loved the trade and the fit, I just would be shocked if they keep both guys. That is a lot of money poured into a position where they still have a competent starter in Benford. It would be awesome to see White-Douglas on the field together.

Yep this is the most likely outcome. Either Tre or Douglas are gone imo and they will reallocate that money.

While I mostly agree with you guys, I just don’t see a world where McDermott is gonna put a rookie at that position. I know he’s been a bit better at playing the young guys lately, but safety is whole another ball game in this defense. I like Rapp and he did some good things so that is definitely a possibility and I wouldn’t hate it.

My only couple of things with Dugger, kind of studying him a bit is that he is older, he turns 28 this March. Also, he really has not been used the way the Bills used Hyde. Not really a true safety, perhaps he can be projected to that the same way Hyde was coming over from GB where he was mostly a nickel. That’s why I like Xavier McKinney, he’s a true FS who plays a ton of single high and 2 high, he’s also 3 years younger.

Agreed. And I think that’s where the Bills should be headed. Kincaid should become the #1 receiver and Josh is focal point of the offense, and surround them with receivers who run really fast.

Well he’s only 17 so gotta give it time

After the McDermott presser it is clear he isn’t going to give up play calling. I suppose you can still promote Babich to DC, but he won’t be calling plays.
