it's a violent game. It requires dogs and loose wires. The best teams create a culture that can absorb these types and not splinter from it. We aren't that type of org. This team has no edge. The two guys that gave us the most of that edge were Diggs and Hollins.

This was Beanes main job in Carolina, so I'm sure he's pretty close to it

Beane looks at players in a vacuum. If we sign this player now, it has to be cheaper than if we sign them when his contract is up. But he never factors in how common it is for a player to regress when they get paid or how much extra juice you tend to get in a contract year. I wish he would just let most of these guys play out the deals, get the additional information, and then make a decision.

We will win out until the Eagles game, which is 50/50 and the Jets game is a bit unknown based on what we need at that time. But we will win the next 4 and everybody will forget we are still a very flawed team. We will get back to Super Bowl expectations and you know what happens next. The thing about this regime is they produce very predictable outcomes.

Marshawn Lynch, Lee Evans, Fred Jackson, Stevie Johnson, Kelsey, Poz, Stroud, Whitner, Kyle, McGee, Schobel. I mean I just picked one random year. Forget about the Takeo years or the Mario years. We have had more talent in the drought years multiple times and for long stretches. We just didn’t have a quarterback.

This team looks exhausted from Super Bowl or bust expectations. It’s one thing to rally when you’re new to a situation and you have belief, but these guys know how long a road this is and how difficult it gets, and to be perfectly honest I don’t think they have the will to rally like they once did. The message is old. The roster is weak. The resolve is fading. The fans are feeling the same thing.

Beane is the biggest issue. But I don’t think it gets fixed with just Beane. This team needs an entire schematic overhaul and it will probably hurt for a year, because this regime drafts players so specific I doubt many would even function in a traditional scheme. At the end of the day we wasted our best shot at a Super Bowl win since the early 90’s in a slow and painful way. I really don’t know how people could sign up for more of this, but I have a feeling Terry is going to make us.

Indeed is too good for him. Craigslist

We are a soft team that wants to say it’s physical. Houston is not a soft team and doesn’t say anything.

It doesn’t make sense to make guys play in contract years. They’re usually more motivated after large sums of money 🙃

McDermott looking like he’s about to show a teenager hot to use a miter saw.

Gotta love this PST living

He’s a niche player. He’s not even a conventional slot. More gadget slot guy.

None of it is subjective

Houston has just put us in a bag and beat the hell out it two straight years now
