Ethan in Cleveland

Good for Falcons to give a black man a second chance! That said this is such a curios hire for a team that has offensive skill positions ready to blossom. Will be interesting to see what they do for OC and if they draft another QB

Everyone so far has done a good job listing the top guys I think Allen is the best QB in the NFL. He wills his team to win despite his HC and guys around him not making plays. However I don't think he is a top 5 passer. I think from a pure passing standpoint he has regressed in the last two years. Perhaos some of that is the elbow and shoulder injuries he dealt with. You can say all you want that his INTs are as good as punts from time to time but let's face it his INTs have take points off the board. He just has to get better taking care of the football. And lastly just like Cam Newton he can't live on his legs forever. If he truly is Elway on steroids then he needs to keep evolving as a passer.

If Allen doesn't miss a wide open Diggs multiple times in the final few games are we really having this discussion? Yeah I'm upset at too many dropped passes but Diggs is still a star. I dont want him fighting for one extra yard when it is not needed. Really? Was he checked out emotionally when he was talking up Allen in the Chargers game on the sideline?? Judging by this post I don't think you understand how the cap works.

Draft is a crap shoot. Beane is fine most of the time. He wastes too many picks moving up in the draft. He has been lucky or good at finding late round guys that make up for his early round misses. Not prioritizing OL and WR in deference to defense is his biggest crime. He rectified that last year. Hopefully he addresses WR early this year.

Pick up 5th year option then let him walk

Overrated player coming off ACL injury. I'm not sure he would even made the team healthy last year, let alone next year coming off an ACL. Goodbye. They have 10 draft picks. they can use one of them on a very late round, running back or sign a street free agent that can do just as much as Hines can do for far less money.

A true #2 or potential #1 WR is most pressing need. Honestly I,would prefer trading the first round pick for an established guy just as they did with Diggs if one is available. S, Edge, C, DT and another WR in no particular order. Draft best punter in the 5th or 6th round. Before the season I would have said OT. But now I think Brown is fine at RT. They can get by with Dawkins for another year at LT. I'd be ok with an OT in top four rounds only if they fill some other holes on defense in free agency

That's not true. Some organizations have the HC report to the GM or Pressient of Operations or whatever title they have.

Shakir was wide open in the endzone. If they were playing the end-zone they weren't doing a good job of it. 2nd and 9 to the endzone was fine. I would have called a different play but to go up 4 with less than 2 min to play you take it when you can. 3rd and 9 has to be a short pass that gives them the option of getting a first down on 4th down or kicking a short FG. You won't be shocked at the stupidity of his answers. You will be shocked at the media finally asking some decent questions.

1. I thought the media asked decent questions for a change to both guys 2. McD was quite defensive at the start bragging about the division titles and 10 win seasons and then saying injuries are not the excuse while of course implying they are the excuse.. He knows he is in the hot seat next year 3. Winner's mindset BS. I love how the final reporter called him out on that and asked that's fine but how does that translate onto the field? Brilliant on her part!!! Of course he had no answer because it is all BS 4. I think for the first time a reporter asked Beane if he could fire McD and now we all know what we excepted only Terry can pull that trigger. 5. Beane basically said McD gets what he wants - the example cited as deferring to McD if he really wanted to be the DC again I know I am a broken record. But McD is a barley capable DC with a superstar QB that wins despite his HC. If you think Diggs should go and Hyde should stay, you need to take a moment and really reflect on what you are seeing on the field. As for McD we are in lock step agreement!

I donated $22 for TBass and $22 for moving expenses to get rid of McDermott!

Kind of ***** he was interviewing even virtually on a short week to get ready to play. NFL should just put a moratorium on coaching hires until after the SuperBowl. Just like the players there should be a league year start date for coaching hires.

Diggs is a superstar and the only player willing to call out this fraud of a headcoach. I love Diggs! He was right about Dorsey and McD tried to make him look bad in the media. Diggs is the only guy who won't talk the company line process and culture BS. You saw Diggs on the sideline talking up Allen in multiple games down the stretch. Did Diggs throw his QB under the bus when he missed him deep multiple times late in the season and in the Pittsburgh game? No! Yeah he dropped a few in the playoffs but he made more plays than he missed. We want more guys like Diggs not less!!!

OP, Wait first you said Daboll system worked for Tom Brady and then you said it relies on the QB to run. I dont recall Tom Brady running the ball. Which is it?

Some core backups like Dodson, Edwards, Van Demark and Isabella will return as well. Only free agent I would offer a contract to is Jones The rest can go and hopefully turn into a comp pick Draft: WR Edge S C WR OT DT P

I called for Harbaugh after 13 seconds when I was in Portland. Nice of you all to jump on the bandwagon.

Defense got old Guys like Miller, Epenesa and Settle suck and Rousseau has not developed Oline is much improved. Kudos Beane on that one Run game is better WR's are for sh!t Allen remains our only hope. Without superhuman Allen Bills lose by 20 at home to a weak Chiefs team. Beane tried and whiffed at improving the WR group. He picked a decent TE but the wrong one and a very good OG. He trusted Spencer Brown would play better and we were all wrong that he would not. Bernard played better than almost all thought he would. In the end all window dressing for the biggest issue We were outcoached time and time again. Pats, Broncos, Eagles, Chiefs all losses attributable to McD's defense getting savaged. They still have Allen and a lot of good pieces. The last two drafts have produced some nice players. A few strategic cap moves, get a better #2 WR day 1 of the draft, let Kincaid continue to develop, and replace some age on defense with youth and speed. And Miller might be better next season fully healthy. Tell McD it is SuperBowl or bust.

Not unreasonable to trade Bates. Good thought

Kind of shocked Morse wants to come back. I'm fine with him for one more year. Hyde needs to retire Gabe needs to sign elsewhere and net us a comp pick- maybe 5th round? White needs a pay cut or just cut Poyer I bring back for one more year If Morse is back, then Bates needs to take a pay cut or just cut him. They should draft a center to develop in the mid rounds even if Morse returns Cut or let walk in no order: Floyd Phillips Epenesa Settle Murray Sherfield and Hardy Gilliam Matakevich Hamlin Martin Lewis Worth bringing back : Jones Dodson Neal Rapp Isabella Edwards Van Demark and Johnson Douglas should get an extension especially if they cut White. Am I missing anyone?

The season was a disaster and not enjoyable to watch literally from the first quarter of the season. Watching our best players get hurt with catastrophic injuries just sucks the life out of watching the team. They were a few plays away from not even making the playoffs. Epic meltdowns by the defense against bad teams. Josh playing like garbage in week 1 and then leading the league in turnovers. He fumbled again yesterday. McD benching the starting RB for a fumble like this is junior high school. Losing on the only missed FG against us because we had 12 men on the field. Worst of all there were enough injuries and Allen played well enough down the stretch that McD isn't going to get fired.

Thank you for your service. Nice player. Nothing bad to say. Hope you get a nice pay day and play for several more years. Let someone else pay you. Get the comp pick

They did. They actually threw a couple times out of the extra linemen formation. It's actually quite amazing They ran as well as they did straight at them. They really didn't have much success running wide all game that I recall. The issue with the run blitz is if you get it blocked up you can spring a really long run as there is no last line of defense from the secondary. It's a gamble. Chiefs won the gamble. Biggest issue offensively in the game was no WR made an impact and there were 3 dropped long balls.

We had most of those guys against Denver, Philadelphia, and the Pats. His defense craps the bed more often than not. Josh is amazing more often than not. Josh playing bad (Jets) and McD's defense playing well against an elite QB(Mahomes regular season, Jackson playoffs) are the anomalies not the norm.

He actually called out the DL for not winning the LOS. I fully expect Washington to be his year's scapegoat for this loser HC

His defense collapses in almost every difficult moment dating back to the Texans. Nice guy. It's time to move on. Harbaugh or Belichick wins multiple SuperBowls with Allen in the next 4 years.
