Keon isn’t good enough to have 3x more touches. Obviously. As evidenced by him having 8 targets in the playoffs and ending up with 3 catches for 22 yards lol. But hey, don’t take it from me, take it from the guy who drafted him. “I wish he had finished the season stronger,” Beane said in his Thursday morning press conference “I would say probably was a little disappointed in the return from the injury,” he said about Coleman’s final six games. “I did not see the same player down the stretch from a physicality, some of the things that he needs to use his size.” Make sure you write a letter to One Bills Drive and let the GM who drafted him with this first pick that he was wrong for being disappointed in Coleman’s performance and that he was actually awesome.

Coleman’s 2024 season - 16 games, 33 touches, 587 yards 4 TDs Worthy’s 2024 season - 20 games, 101 touches, 1037 yards, 12 TDs Ahhhh it’s so hard to know who was better in 2024!

That “if” is doing heavy lifting. also, the way the top-end HCs stay in business is keeping their jobs even if the team doesn’t perform. Harbaugh survived 3 straight years not making the playoffs. Would Sirianni? Tomlin survives being a first round exit every year. Would Sirianni? Shanny survived missing the postseason this year after being an SB team last year. Would Sirianni? The answers to all these questions are so obvious, it’s obvious why @Chaos refuses to answer them. Spoilers: it’s because he knows the answer and is likely trolling with the “Sirianni is the second best HC in football” take.

Um, Worthy had way more yards and also didn’t have much competition on the boundary. Thats the point. Coleman also had 12 starts. He started week 1. He played 1 game that he didn’t start all year. Was the intention of your post to support my point?

Imagine the opportunity Coleman could’ve had if his only competition on the boundary was a lifelong gunner/run blocking WR.

What’s very funny to me is that Coleman had probably the least competitive WR group he will ever have in Buffalo (hopefully). His competition for targets was a disappointing TE, a slot guy, and a gaggle of MVS, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins. He may be WR4 in target share next year. He should have been WR1 or WR2 by default this year.

I think their mystique is broken a bit for sure. Remember that stupid story of Kelce telling the punt returner to be great lol. God I’m so glad they got their ass kicked.

Here’s some fun. Worthy in the playoffs - 19 catches, 287 yards, 3 TD’s. Coleman in the playoffs - 3 catches, 22 yards, 0 TD’s. Man, it’s neck and neck. I think we need a few more years to figure out who is more valuable right now.

So, like I said initially, what are the odds Sirianni is the HC of the Eagles 3 years from now? His winning percentage and resume would assume he’s the second safest HC in the NFL second to Andy Reid, right? Do you think he’s the second safest HC in the NFL to have a job 3 years from now? If you don’t, he isn’t. Period.

I’m sure that he has had the most talented team in the NFL over the average of the last 3 seasons. I’m sure that the midseason collapse of the 2023 Eagles is largely a referendum on coaching malfeasance. As evidenced by Sirianni being the only coach in football to not pick his OC and DC. I’m sure that calling a naked Jalen Hurts bootleg while he was injured with 2 min left against the Rams in the postseason up 6 would have cost him his job had they lost that game and Stafford not luckily thrown a ball out of bounds on 4th down. I’m sure that Sirianni was 100% on the hotseat entering 2024, despite making the playoffs 3 straight years, the NFCCG once and the Super Bowl once. You are welcome to take your pick of all of those reasons. You are also welcome to predict he will be their head coach 3 seasons from now. I mean, he has all this track record of success right? He should be safe for a couple years right? There’s no way the wheel fall off and there’s a new HC in Philly in 2027, right?

Sirianni is not a good head coach. He has won a SB. Very good for him. what are the odds he is the Eagles coach 3 years from now?

The quoted lyrics gave it away lol

Yeah that’s the problem all 3 teams have TEs. maybe there’s someone out there who would want him. Chiefs if Kelce retires? (I kid). anyway, BB said, "He's going to have to continue to work on his play strength. He's not as built and muscular as, let's just say, Dawson is, and so that's one of the nuances of this game," said Beane. "In college you don't play 17 games plus playoffs, so building your body up to withstand what it takes.”

Yeah but that works when the DL is getting to the QB. Its the synergy of the matter. Pressing with Elam while Greg Rousseau gets pancaked by Kareem Hunt is a great way to give up a 60 yard TD.

I don’t think you need to trade Kincaid for picks necessarily. I think you would package him where he would have more value to the team receiving him in a player trade. Of course, the 3 teams I would like to trade him to, the Seahawks, the Raiders and the Browns all have big money TE’s but still lol. Is Kincaid and a second better than 2 seconds for DK? Beane’s language against Kincaid I thought was pretty strong tbh.

Meh, I think Josh on the Chiefs keeps it a game at least. Josh is probably the greatest QB at playing/compensating with a complete disaster at OL. I won’t be charitable to Pat when I hold Josh to the same standard. Yes, Thuney got pushed back into Mahomes for the second pick that basically ended the game and put them down 24-0. It was still horrific. The difference between Mahomes and Josh, imo, is that Josh would have willed some more first downs, even with that kind of heat. And stringing together any kind of offense by any means necessary was crucial to stop the bleeding. Mahomes wasn’t just a victim of circumstance. He telegraphed a bad pick six when it was only 10-0 and the Chiefs had shut down Barkley and already had a pick on Hurts. sure they may have still lost, but Mahomes opened the flood gates by himself. Josh Allen wouldn’t have ever been down 40-6. I promise. Maybe we lose 27-10 or 33-10 but Josh wouldn’t have lost like that.

Definitely a hot take. Mahomes wasn’t middling in the first half. He was a disaster. The Eagles had more points than the Chiefs had yards. He had 2 picks which put 14 points on the board for the Eagles. If he played that way vs the Niners, they would have also blown them out. Hurts didn’t play “almost perfect.” Not even close. He made enough plays to make the Chiefs pay for their mistakes and capitalize on them. And the Eagles D erased Hurts’ horrific pick. If you dropped Josh Allen on that Eagles roster last night, they would have scored 100. That’s not “nearly perfect QB play.” Mahomes “turned it on” when the game was over lol. They were down 40-6. Put that take in the freezer.

I guess I’m being biased, but I think the Eagles have players with that extra gear in the tank that the Bills don’t have. I can’t see Ed and Greg both coming out and being dominant from start to finish against KC. Ever. I just can’t. A guy like Jalen Carter had a ceiling that Ed and Greg don’t have.

Shaky calls matter in nail biters. Not in blowouts. if you don’t want the refs to affect the game, make it impossible for them to do so. ass kicking takes the refs out of the game. It takes Jalen Hurts’ bad pick out of the game.

Rodgers has the same problem as Russell though. They both refuse to play outside their comfort zone and conform to the team. Russ developed bad habits after he won a ring. Rodgers developed bad habits far earlier and was notorious for clashing with LaFleur. On paper it sounds nice, but Rodgers will be blaming Pickens for not hearing his tenth check at the line with 1 second left on the play clock by week 3. I would roll the dice with a Darnold over Rodgers and blow it all up if it doesn’t work.

I agree and don’t agree. i agree this eagles front is not the 2015 Broncos. This wasn’t the culmination of a dominant season. But what I would say is this wasn’t the culmination of Howie’s strategy. He has poured picks and money into the DL for this kind of stage. That’s why he got guys like Carter and Davis high. If you played this game a hundred times, maybe the Eagles win with DL dominance like 10-20 times. But the Bills would win far less like that, imo.

Not sure Dawkins or Brown are starting on Philly tbh. It’s just Josh. Josh and Philly’s talent would probably win the SB every year. But part of the reason they are so talented is because they gave Hurts the “we believe in you but not really” contract. Sure that’s nice but is that scheme or talent? Imo clearly talent. They didn’t blitz because they didn’t need to lol. If Mahomes was picking them apart while their OL held up, they would have blitzed.

For sure. For all of his greatness, this is the second Super Bowl where Mahomes has shown he can be pretty flappable. he wasn’t the only problem but he was an absolute problem. Throwing at Kelce’s knees etc etc. they truly did collapse after that.

Is the tape out? I felt like the Eagles mixed up zone and man looks pretty significantly. Notably, both of Mahomes’ picks were on zone reads. I think their gameplan on D was different but I wouldn’t go as far as to say opposite

I think he posted the Bills had double the pressures the Eagles did on the season, FWIW
