  1. Batting was correct call. Chiefs safety probably out for the game Should have been helmet to helmet call
  2. 6 days ago he was in an air cast. It's lucky he isn't on IR. They can win this game without Bernard. Not sure they can without TJ or Douglas. Benford probably a bigger loss than Bernard but hopefully Elam balls out again this week!
  3. Johnson and Douglas back is critical! Now let Josh be Josh and let Dorian Williams lay out Kelce!!!
  4. Dorian Williams with a pick six today!!!
  5. How do you know about Van Pelt? He wasn't even calling plays in Cleveland. Dorsey had a top 5 offense last year. I really have no idea about either but at least Dorsey was calling the plays.
  6. Seems like this year it is more likely than not guys are coming back in one week not two.
  7. If they voted for coach of the year after the playoffs, I think it might come down to Ryans and McDermott. Ryans has done a great job turning that franchise around. And for as much I crap on McD he has put together an all time string of wins with a crazy amount of injuries. Stefanski did a nice job in Cleveland overcoming the QB issues but if you look close they played a weak schedule and caught some lucky breaks with injuries on their opponents.
  8. Excellent example. Thanks! Levy doesn't count. He took over team midway through a season but he wasn't the interim HC and he was not promoted from within. But to be honest I,don't recall if others were interviewed for the job back then.... I was 16 and not following that closely
  9. I dont have the time or enrgery to look it up. But has there ever been an interim guy that then gets the full time job and done really well? I'm struggling to recall anyone that actually did well when they first got the job as an interim Note. This is NFL I'm talking. The Michigan basketball coach Steve Fisher that won a NCAA championship as and interim that took over for the Fab 5 may be the greatest interim to HC story in sports history.
  10. Honestly it would be fun to let Moorman punt for one game. Could he be much worse than Martin was earlier this year. Besides anything past their 45 and they are going for it. No punts all points!!!
  11. 100% agree or fakes a run and hits Diggs on a fly pattern after he fakes blocking (which should be too hard for him) . I think all coaches disclose stuff to announcers. The announcers know if they ever leaked anything they would be out of a job or worse yet Vegas may deal with them Godfather style.
  12. Do they really need Isabella? I'd rather go with one less WR and an extra DL this week. Good points about the Martin roster spot. Will be interesting to see how if all plays out. Maybe move Spector to IR and sign Klein to the active roster? Klein can play all the special teams Spector does. That allows you to bring up Haack as a PS elevation only.
  13. Seems odd but Burrow missed a month of camp and was limited for the first month of the season with a calf.
  14. Agree about the strength of their defense. Josh needs to dump it down all day, scramble, and maybe hit a play action pass from time to time. This is the week to NOT force the ball to Diggs. We probably have a better shot of winning if Diggs gets 2 targets instead of 10. Nothing against Diggs but this is the week he is best used as a decoy and open things up for Knox, Kincaid, and Cook underneath.
  15. Taron is the most important followed by Douglas. Hopefully they let Taron play. Bernard has played well but we need a guy that is fully healthy and can run to man the middle. I say live and die with Williams at MLB and either Klein or Dodson at the other LB spot.. He can play middle and spy Mahomes from time to time. If they win this game Williams should play spy on Jackson the entire game next week.
  16. I give McD a lot of xrap but in this game barring a coaching blunder this is all about Josh and the o-line execution. If Josh plays controlled hero ball we win. If Oline keeps Josh relatively clean we win. If Jones is lighting up Torrence I have a quick hook to go to Edwards or Bates at RG. Three series max to see if he is capable to handle Jones. I really think we are going to struggle against their corners. I'm fine with keeping extra guys in to block and if the forst read is not there a dump off or Josh run. So the game plan should be a lot of heavy formations and run calls. Hopefully some nice rollouts and ball control to the RB and TE. I think we can win even if Diggs doesn't get a catch but Josh runs for 75. Notice I didn't mention the defense. Really don't think the D matters. This is all on Josh and the offense. Score early, often, and play keep away from Reid, Mahomes and Kelce. I don't think any of those three have the patience to slug it out with Buffalo. If they can run and play action on us then Josh just needs to score (TD ot FG) nearly every drive. Lastily if Bills have the chance for a kill shot late in the game, trust Allen to make it. Even if he doesn't I'd rather go down with Allen than our D on a final drive.
  17. McCarthy 11-11 in the playoffs McDermott 5-5 in the playoffs Hopefully McD can get to 8-5 this season!
  18. If I was McD and Elam doesn't win a starting outside corner job, they should train him to be Johnson's back to as nickel. Now Elam can't tackle but he can cover man to man well.
  19. Let Hyde retire. Poyer is playing well enough to bring back for one more year. His lack of speed is less of an issue. White offer a pay cut and chance to move to safety. If not cut him. Roll with Douglas, Jackson, Benford, and Elam as your 4 CBs. Draft a mid round safety First round needs to be WR, followed by C, and edge rusher in the top 3 rounds. We are set at RB, TE, LB, and CB. Sets up perfectly to take two WRs, an edge, maybe even a DT, and a center. Use 6th rounder on best college punter. A year ago I was all in on an OT. And if they took one it would be fine. But right now I'm thinking WR, C, Edge, and DT are top 4 priorities. Brown and Dawkins are fine for another year. DT less of an issue if they re-sign Jones. For the record I let Epenesa, Davis, Settle, and Phillips go.
