My point is we are taking a franchise QB hit no matter what. The problem isn't because we have a franchise QB hit. The problem is you can't have a franchise QB hit with poor roster design and half a dozen players absorbing far more cap than market value. Again, it's on Beane.

It's on Beane more than Josh.

All of our coordinators are yes men. I don't think we have room for an independent, I'm going to build this my way type coordinator on either side.

I'm not sure what an over reaction looks like with this performance. We are horribly inconsistent with holes all over the offense. It's been said for weeks, but many here said those were overreactions.

That was 100% incomplete

Both, I just find it humorous that he's crafted his image into this cool, calculated, chess player. When he is simultaneously calling up PFF and complaining they graded his moves unfairly. It's not what's real, its what people think is real.

The Beane PR machine. He has every BLO reporter basically banned from the facility if they write something negative. Annual 2 week Beane tour in the postseason where he talks about drafting Josh and smells his farts with Pat McAfee. Then the standard narrative shifting leak we see today. The whole big baller Beane or image of him looking slick in his shades is more PR. Paper thin skin, insecure, etc.

Just throwing this up as it's the 2nd college football weekend in a row YouTube TV users will not have ESPN. Sling TV offers a day pass for 4.99. I used it last Saturday and it worked out well.

I don't think the Patriots will win the division and that's all I got to say about that.

I don't disagree on adding Wilkins, our EPA run defense on junk grabs is far worse than last year and our kissing booth activity is at a net loss over the first 8 weeks of the season.

Really good video.

Damn, I liked him in the draft. I'm also a Western alum. He was a great player for us.

When it happens I will believe it can happen.

So the assumption is we can check the box on defense at this point? We had the #1 EPA defense in 2021, 7th in 2022, 11th in 2023, 12th in 2024, and now 12th in 2025. We have had many times in the regular season where we look unbeatable on defense. I'm hopeful our investment pays off and it looks like it can. But at the end of the day we have been down that road plenty of times before. We are one more injury away from even an optimistic look on that side of the ball falling apart. Max, Bishop, Bosa, Benford, all it takes is one more. That's assuming it all comes together as you hope it will this time. To your call out, yes, separation was an issue on our final two drives vs the Chiefs. It's not about isolating to specific plays. It's about increasing the margin for success. Our margin in those situations is razor thin. You increase it by increasing your ways to win. Maybe Josh doesn't see that blitz on 4th down if he never gets to 4th down. Our formula almost guarantees our offense will have to deliver on multiple high leverage drives in the postseason. I don't see the horses to execute that drive. Glad you do.

We have been a top 3 DVOA team since the beginning of time. We haven't closed the deal. Nobody is arguing this is a bad team. They're arguing we have shown nothing further to suggest we are more likely to avoid our standard playoff demise.

I give him the benefit of the doubt more than most as far as weirdness, but this is f'n weird

We need a professional emjoi interpreter

That offense is going to be nasty

I'm going to take a time out and think about this more

I know you like to throw that caveat in because I have discussed this with you before. But our total production outside of Buffalo is such a small sliver of the pie, I really don't think it somehow validates AV as a measure for draft success. The stat is influenced by too much. I applaud the attempt at trying to solve for the unsolvable problem in a uniform way. It's creative and well done. I just don't agree that is accurate enough.

I figured it was about 1% give or take. Didn't agree with it, but not the end of the world

He is not over 75% outside of Denver at 40+ years old. The Hail Mary defense was executed perfectly. This isn't a witch hunt, it's one call I don't agree with.
