Diggs is the 2nd best player this team has acquired in the entire tenure of Beane and McD. The floor with Allen is pretty close to a wild card win. He's a top 3 QB, how isn't that the basement? Statistics prove that it is. Until we do something more both McD and Beane should get a fair share of criticism IMO.

Beane is a witch

Depends what I'm sitting on

I don't think the Brady's offense last year was much better. Statistically they weren't. I do think he compliments and understands Allen very well and to me that is a critical piece. Brady's use of running backs and WR screens is a huge compliment to Allen's game. I don't want Allen always having to keep us on schedule. It results in too many downfield throws and rushes on his part. Let the run game and WR screens help with the schedule. Then make the running back a focus in the passing game because it forces on schedule throws. Put Josh in a position to make plays when he's sitting on a decent hand. I think that's where we see the best version of Allen which we see as well in his play action stats. It seemed like the period from Tampa Bay to our playoff loss a few years back is when we did this the best. Allen was consistently hitting our running backs short and we ran the ball well. Defenses had no answers. Then as time progressed we got back to no longer running, never passing to the running back. We asked Josh to hit the underneath stuff and that's not really him. Then we told him to not run. Go figure, we had issues staying on schedule and we couldn't get consistency.

Even though Bills fans got burned out a bit on the Hamlin coverage it would be a pretty incredible story for him to develop as a player and become an impact player. I would be the first to the keyboard to praise him.

If these 17 years old's are likely to be charged as adults then this would happen at lower rates? I doubt anything exists to support this. But hey, why not. You probably think Georgia has less gun violence than California. It doesn't have to be logical, true, or real.

Or he has a system in place that doesn’t force us to pursue man coverage corners which everybody else in the league wants. This system seems to limit the diversity of looks we give QB’s in times like the playoffs and forces us to play shadow games with our safeties. Is it worth it? I don’t think so, but maybe. It produces great regular season results. I would just rather pursue corners that can also play man and have a defense that can throw that look in when required. #zone for life. This isn’t to dismiss the point of the thread. All hail McD the “something whisperer”.

No Bildos yet? I edited mine

Hell even if you had a gun, I know it's everybody's fantasy to stand your ground and shoot the perp, but what are you going to do? Pull it out while somebody is pointing a loaded gun at you. Sounds smart.

Curious what people are using. I decided on the "Khalil Shakiras" but I can be persuaded if I see something better.

I go there a decent amount with my girlfriend and we go just about everywhere. It’s fine. the touristy areas are very safe. Even the rest is fairly safe. We just make a point to pay attention and not find ourselves with a homeless person and nobody else around. But it’s still very pretty and the food is great. Have fun!

Many of them read an article and saw a local news story

And in 2022 Darnell Moody was the #1

It’s still one of the prettiest cities in the US. But ya, downtown is fairly isolated and the homeless population is high. So you will find yourself with homeless people isolated at times. I would never consider the wearing something like that in the areas I was in recently. But obviously not a justification for what happened. I hope he is ok.

Which is the same again We run the ball because of Josh threatening in the air. We have a base Nickle. This team is not designed to be physical and can’t be that way with the schemes and roster we have. Physical is a defense knowing the run is coming and not stopping it. The lack of pass rush also contributes to the lack of physicality. We are a smoke and mirrors team.

But he runs like he has to take a sh!t 😆

I think you had it right with that first sentence. If Allen, with this team, can't beat the top teams in the later rounds a back up of any caliber sure won't either. The only way I see this hurting us is if we lose Josh for like 5 weeks. We need to figure out how we can go 2-3 if that happens which we likely can with Sean being a guy that seems to raise the floor a bit.

Internal promotions give me a Babich

I don't expect this post to popular OP but I agree with a lot of your points and applaud you for being willing to say unpopular things. As a "not serious" person myself it doesn't mean I can't be a leader. But it does produce a certain type of leadership style that is more cooperative/encouraging than authoritarian and if anybody on here doesn't think at times people need authoritarian in an environment like this you're completely delusional. It is something we lack at least from what we can observe on the outside and as much as I support the decision with Diggs we essentially doubled down on what appears to be Kumbaya. Again we aren't in the locker room so we don't know this to be the case for sure but ya, that's what it appears like.

When North Dakota State knocks of the this joke week one

I agree about the energy of the Bengals playoff game. I still look at the current version of the Bengals similar to the Colts as far as just seeming to have our number. Burrow/Taylor seem to be able to do whatever they want against us at a level that even rivals the Chiefs. I spent most my life in Michigan and Ohio. As you point out, Brown is notoriously cheap. You have to think that team will fail to sign its studs in the coming year. We need them to fall apart similar to how the Colts did.

For those that think this is just KC, 14 of 14, 3 TD's, 181 yards That is Burrows stat line against us in 3 opening drives. All 3 we had extended periods to prepare for. We are 0-2 against the Bengals and it would have been 0-3 if we finished the Hamlin game. So to think this is just KC or even that the Bengals playoff match up was just us being off our game just doesn't add up.

Luck plays a roll, but if that's the conclusion you land on with the information we have you just don't want to know and frankly I don't blame you. It's very hard to know we are an elite regular season team because it really makes it difficult to evaluate our performance in the regular season and what that means for the postseason. We didn't have Hamlin fatigue in all three match ups.

Bengals don't even have as much as an incompletion in 3 opening drives against us. 3 TD passes, nearly 200 yards, zero incompletions.
