I know it is from Sportrac. But same numbers were or Sportrac half a year ago. Same Sportrac says he gained $4M incentive for 6 sacks this season. Those $4M have to affect his cap hit somehow. I don't know how, but I have doubts about current number. @Tuco?

Cutting Jones saves $1.7M. Do you really think we can get someone better for that kind of money? I'd wait and see if we can land spm cheap FA or draft someone. @GASabresIUFan I am not and expert, but I don't think Von's numbers are correct. Those are numbers before incentives which he has reached. I guess that they will increase dead cap. Someone will surely educate me

I hope you are aware that Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 1992...

Maybe you mentioned this somewhere, but what do you propose at WR? My understanding is that you wouldn't pay Higgins and you don't like this draft class. So would you bring back Hollins, sign some serviceable FA like Brown or Brown and draft someone (preferably) in first two rounds?

Btw, this mock draft discussion shows why I find it little unfair to Beane when people (including OP) say that he doesn't draft any difference makers. Gunner (and everyone making mock drafts) is having problems to even find a player we could draft at 30 with a first round grade. There are just not enough blue chip players. All those deemed as blue chip are going top 15. After that it is not a complete crapshoot, but it is just extremely tough to hit on a players that end up great in NFL. I am not saying Beane doesn't have misses or that he shouldn't improve, but I am not holding the fact that he doesn't draft Allpros against him.

Not even speculation about schedule?

You can edit the title...

You mean you are in your guys Matt ballpark?

Agreed. I wrote this couple of times. We have no idea if there was realistic chance to trade up. I'd say it wasn't.

Absolutely this. People are acting like getting Thomas was an easy thing to do, because they only see he went just 5 picks ahead of our original pick. It wasn't that easy. Maybe Beane tried hard but it was impossible. We didn't have 3rd round pick and it wouldn't be enough anyway. 2nd round could get us to 19 maybe, but who was the trade partner? Like you said, Eagles wanted Mitchell and would miss out if trading with us, Dolphins probably wouldn't trade with us at all, Steelers needed an OT and there was quite a run on them. 19th pick were Rams and they drafted Verse. It is fairly possible that we had precisely zero chance to draft Thomas, but people will still act like Beane was an idiot who only cared about recouping 3rd round pick.

Wow did he really say this? "We need a real WR"?

My brother is a random football fan from Europe who (like almost nobody on this continent) has never played football or has any idea about X and O's Sometimes through the third quarter he texted me that he didn't get why cold Davis was getting snaps. I told him that it was what we do, rotate RBs. He told me he knew, but it was stupid im this game since it was AFCCG and Cook was extremely hot. So there's that.

Not executing the tush push. Execute it like whole season -> win. They were ready for it and it just didn't work. Sad part is that to me it was obvious Allen was in on the 4th down and that 4th down shouldn't even happen (Kincaid was in on the 3rd), but still - if Allen was a yard in as he usually is, we are not having this conversation.

This is absolutely fascinating to me. It was game of inches. We were inches from possible win, but since we lost, EVERYTHING is bad now. You (and many others) are acting like we are Jets or something. We just lost another 3 point game to a team that probably becomes the greatest dynasty in the history of NFL. It completely sucks but it doesn't mean that this team sucks and is doing everything wrong.

Agree with this. Today was NOT on him. He made a mistake or two (like going for the 2nd 2pt conversion), but we didn't lose because of him. And maybe he got out coached by Reid, but who doesn't? We are extremely unfortunate to be dealing with freaking dynasty because of that crazy HC/DC/QB combo Kansas has. It won't change if we fire McD and replace with some random dude who had 2 good OC seasons. Having said that, if I was McD, I'd say by myself that I resign next year if we don't make SB.
