Just covering your stuff, but might as well include all the rest of it..... Teams with a QB in the top 5 in QBR have gone 225-86 since 2020, good for a 72% winning which is identical to McD's regular season winning % during that time. Allen has finished 3rd, 6th, 2nd, and 3rd in those years. We should expect to win 70% of our games with a top 5 QB. Just looking at who made the conference championship and beyond since 2020. If you have a QBR in the top 5 you have a 50% chance of going to the conference championship. 3 of the 4 Super Bowl winners are represented. 2023 = 2 of the 5 made it to the conference championship, one made it to the Super Bowl 2022 = 2 of the 5 made it to the Super Bowl, one won the Super Bowl 2021 = 3 of the 5 made it the conference Championship, one won the Super Bowl 2020= 3 of the 5 made it to the conference Championship, one won the Super Bowl Andy Reid is 15-3 in the playoffs since Mahomes. Prior to that he is 11-13. Burrows is 14 of 14 for 181 Yards and 3 TD's on opening drives vs Buffalo One of those games he had 3 starting offensive lineman out, why do injuries only matter for us? We have accomplished nothing more than what you should expect to accomplish with a top 5 QB in the NFL. We have no basis to suggest we have performed any better or worse. Regarding the infamous playoff drought year we allowed the exact same amount points as we did two years prior under Tyrod Taylor and Rex Ryan while scoring 77 points less. About 6-10 teams per decade make the playoffs with a -50 point differential. We ended up being one of them. Anoint the man.

Joe Burrow on his first 3 drives vs Buffalo 14 for 14, 181 Yards, 3 TD's

Last year? How about the first 3 drives for both teams in the three times we have seen them? Did they not score fast enough the previous three tries?

You think he's getting past the Bengals?

I love people talking about Andy Reid, as if that is a possible development story McD could aspire to. Reid playoff record with Mahomes 15-3, 4 AFC Championships, and 3 Super Bowls Reid playoff record without Mahomes, 11-13, one NFC Championship I guess we can expect things to get better when McD gets a better QB 😆

We would have gotten to at least a few divisional playoffs games and likely at least one AFC championship game. So not that different.

What incredible thing did he do his first year? Dalton doesn't complete that pass and he blends in with the rest of the 20+ years of futility without a second thought.

McD is organized, consistent, respected. He is certainly above average. I just don't think he is A) the X's and O's guy we want B) the strategic thinker we want as far as taking the next step. Skilled offenses take his system apart. Bengals and KC specifically and just because they have skill doesn't mean it's white flag time. KC and the Bengals both have defenses that have performed even better as competition grew in the past. We have no answer for either team on either side. It doesn't get discussed but things like the fake punt. They fumbled, it shifted the narrative to the missed TD pass. But awful, awful call. Being aggressive was not the wrong call. A poorly executed fake point with Damar Hamlin was the wrong call and it could have been a decision that cost us a Super Bowl had the script been different. Do the Bills at the very least get to one AFC Championship game without him? I have to think the answer is yes. Does Allen make us a perennial contender? I have to think the answer is yes. So why do people just cling to this notion that since we sucked for 20+ years we should wait until McD becomes synonymous with guys like Wade Phillips or Marty? Hell, it's already happening. The odds of us going full blow in that direction are so sever vs the odds of the narrative changing.

The only coaches in NFL history with a .600 or better winning % an no Super Bowl, NFL Championship, or conference championship are Marty, Lafleur, and McD. When you move that goal post to .550 the list includes. Mike Smith Don Coryell Mike Zimmer Wade Phillips Jason Garrett Chuck Knox Kevin Stefanski Chuck Pagano He has the best QB out of anybody on either list and by a mile in most instances. Do something to change it.

Legend, glad he was able to live a long life.

Gabs. You get them from rotating your torso. They come with a porn stash.

I never realized the guys on the cover are not actually Jim, Thurman, Andre, and Bruce. I thought it was an older photo at first but I zoomed in and that’s certainly not them back then. At best the older versions and I don’t think that’s even possible.

Not allowed

Doesn't appear trustworthy

Whenever somebody posts something about Marino the post is like "one of my favs, take a look" or "best in the biz, worth the time". I just want one of these posts to be like "likely a bad person, check it out anyway".

It's pretty equal with the loud ones from each side. Most of us don't really care and accept people with different opinions.

I always read the R&R and this was the best one. Thank you. I want to go all in on this concept but I don't believe we will ever see another position group go the way of RB. Perhaps the largest reason RB's are devalued is they can't produce for more than 5-6 years. Teams figured if they have to take a gamble in the draft and the best case result is 5-6 years then no point exists in taking the gamble. That is largely how we got to our current state. WR's just don't have that restriction on life. It's also a fairly nuanced position. The upper tier, even guys that you mention specifically like Kupp and Brown, they can really run routes. That's what the NFL is all about. They're coming into the league more polished but you will only have so many guys each year run a sub 4.4 with elite football speed, size, and coordination. Maybe 3-4 per year. The fact that many of these guys could also play DB which also pays a premium will further also stabilize the WR demand pool. If that market starts to become saturated we will see more play corner. I think that is already happening to some degree.

McMarty is my safe word

Derek Brown led the NFL in tackles for a DT How about the Bengals have like 2 healthy offensive lineman when they blew us out?

Given he appears like a Lions fan I'm going with Canadian

Yup, I didn't feel that way until coming to San Diego. I didn't see much of this in Ohio/Michigan. Drivers here are actually pretty bad. I hear Atlanta is also a mess.

People that drive excessively fast in heavy traffic. I get going fast, but you're barely arriving earlier than other people when it's that slow. Just chill the "F" out.

They did have two pro bowl level TE's for a stretch. One Hall of Fame TE for most the run. When they did finally pursue a stud they produced the greatest offense of all time (somehow not winning the Super Bowl). I think in hindsight that could be viewed as a mistake. If Brady had a Moss like WR for most his career he would have at least a few more rings I would think.

A lot of people really have no clue who Brady is. Not saying I do either, but the guy is an ENFP on the Meyers Briggs. For context Robin Williams is probably to most famous male ENFP of all time. These people are usually actors, comedians, or artists. Can easily take jokes and role with the punches. They like being the center of attention, it doesn't matter if the joke is on them.
