I will throw up if this happens. We can’t afford to address our offensive issues in the draft. If there isn’t a guy of value, trade back. It’s a moot point as the new factory of sadness will take Bosa to replace Mack.

I’m glad they said no and assume it means he should see an extension this offseason

NFL Teams with the Drunkest Fans

@26CornerBlitz I trusted you, and you failed me -
This entire, miserable season revolves around 1 player

A game that men play with other men, between the hours of 2 and 3am, off interstates, at rest stop bathrooms.... -

Maybe he’s prepping you for another change he’s making. What are your thoughts about tummy sticks? -
This is absolute *****. How does this guy have as many passing touchdowns in one game as our entire offense all season? Tell me again that coaching and scheme doesn't rank above talent on offense sometimes? This is why Daboll has to go

Worse than the 49ers? I'll take that bet. -

I'll keep saying it. There are worse NFL offensive rosters and they do more with less. -

That's what I get for blindly listening the the commentators I mean....yeah? I just don't expect a lot from the guy. He's exactly what you'd expect him to be and really doesn't do anything special except throw crucial INT's on the last drive. If we allow the game to rest on the shoulders of Anderson, we are in way more trouble than I realized. -
Call me a bad fan, but I was dreading this game all week. I didn't know what outcome I would see, but I knew it was going to be one of two. Either we kept in close for a while and ended up getting blown out, or we would have our typical Bills hope game where we find a way to give it away at the end. Well, it seems that I got a little of both. I'm not going to look for moral victories here as this is a NFL football team and it's all about the Win's and Losses. 1 - Shady - I've said this a few times now, but I think Ivory is the better runner for this team. Yes, Shady is faster and shiftier in space, but he's not getting into space much and his lack of decisive attacks to the line is costing him yards. I'm also noticing more and more that Shady isn't even breaking arm tackles. Ivory may not have the big runs, but he hits the hole hard with a few solid gains. He's a more punishing rusher and is better suited for our offense. 2 - 3rd and 8 before Halftime - This is the punt in the snow game against the Colts last year. I can't understand this play call here. We aren't going to beat the Pats with field goals and 8 yards isn't insurmountable. Well, maybe in this offense. Either way, even with gaining no yards, you're still in field goal range. These are the kinds of plays that make me want to say ***** the process. We want to build a culture and turn some heads, play to win. 3 - The Glorious Hits - I've complained about broken tackles in previous weeks, but not today (minus Stanford's whiff on 3rd and long) Not only were we tackling well, but we were laying the wood on the Pats. And yes, it felt really good. Brady took some shots today, none more beautiful than when he tried to lay a block. But we were all over the place today and punishing the Pats players. These guys showed up today and were fired up. A lot of Patsies are going to need an ice bath later. 4 - He didn't teach you how to win, he taught you how not to lose. That's nothing to be proud of. You're playing not to lose, Josh. You've got to risk losing. You've got to risk everything. You've got to go to the edge of defeat. That's where you want to be, boy - on the edge of defeat. 5 - Wide Receivers - This might be the very first time I'm not calling out the Wide Receivers in a loss. These guys were ready to play as well and Kelvin looked like he actually care out there. Penalty or not, his block was awesome. His catch over Gilmore put a smile on my face. And on the botched snap after Hyde punt return, Zay was wide open in the endzone. These guys were getting separation and making catches. Best game for them all season. 6 - Defensive Line - I've never claimed to know much about the X's and O's of football. I know as much as anyone who's watched games for 20+ years and plays Madden. However, I'm curious about the defensive line alignment. In the games where we seemed to get the most pressure, we'd spread the lineman out or overload one side. In this game, even when the Pats ran and empty formation, we kept the guys tight and centered. As a result, we didn't have a great pass rush today. Even on 3rd and long, we're only rushing 3 and Hogan burns us for a big play. Obviously, the lack of pass rush didn't cost us the game, but I'm curious to understand the strategy behind this. 7 - We've earned it - Watching the game, it's infuriating to see the opposing defenses stack the box and press our receivers because they know we can't throw the ball downfield. On almost every 3rd down play, they dare us to beat them and we failed to live up to it. It's happened all season long and we've brought it on ourselves. But when we do it to other teams, they expose us with a quick pass or break contain. It's beyond frustrating. 8 - Overall Defense - If our defense quit at any part in this game, I would almost understand and give them a pass. These guys had a great game plan with the bend but don't break, and held the highest powered offense in check for most of the game. You can't blame them for getting gassed or realizing their efforts are futile with the lack of offensive support To keep the Pats out of the endzone through 3 quarters isn't a moral victory, it's a straight up victory. Hats off to McDermott for having this side of the ball ready. And I promised I wouldn't write a thought about Milano again, but I may have a man crush. He almost had a game changing pick 6 too. 9 - Special Teams - Hausch and Hyde aside, this unit is making too many mistakes week in and week out. I didn't want to go after the coaching, but someone has to own putting these guys out there. Botches punts, almost fumbles on kick off's. It's just too scary to watch what should be an entry level area of the game. 10 - Daboll - I'm done. If the Browns can fire their offensive coordinator today, so can we. I'm sick of the excuses for this guy. He's accomplished nothing at any level. The fact that there are numerous NFL players that single-handedly have more touchdowns than our entire offense combined is a joke. 9 quarters since we've scored an offensive touchdown. We are absolutely wasting a fantastic defense. I don't care about the talent level. There are less talented teams out there doing more. I watch other games every Sunday and no one is anywhere near as bad as we are. Daboll gets creative for an opening drive, but then just falls apart as the game goes on. Yes, this gets a second paragraph. Negative plays, the inability to counter a defensive scheme, play to our teams strengths, and overall put together multiple drives is more than enough reason. Our offensive line isn't terrible. Our running backs aren't terrible. Our wide receivers, at least today, weren't terrible. How many games do we have to keep watching this dumpster fire before we make a change. I didn't want him hired and I don't take pleasure in calling for a man's job halfway through the season, but there's absolutely zero hope or signs of life. The man needs to go.

I wasn’t going to take this post seriously, but then saw the bold.....

If he’s practice squad eligible, I’d sign him. I don’t know the details, but if they were considering giving him a look as a starter and still cut him, it can’t be good.

We should trade for Bridgewater NOW
Virgil replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No offense but, how hard did you search? -
I would be pissed if we took Oliver. We’ve spent enough on defense and that’s not what’s losing games for us. We are 3rd in the league in sacks. We have to score points.

A Few Thoughts about the Colts game, in no particular order
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the game offense is still at least 50% Daboll. I’m not blaming it all on Anderson. 25% turnovers and bonehead plays Didn’t he start the season on the sideline and the go to the booth later? I noticed that too I’m just getting tired of beating the same dead horses. It’s getting harder, trust me -

I think that if we aren’t at least a top 20 offense and top 5 defense next year, it could change. But yes, I think the Pegulas want continuity. -

I think this was McDermotts plan, yes. But I don’t think it was that specific. Whoever didn’t fit the process had to go, salary cap be damned. Build the defense first, offense second. -

Before he broke his back, he was well on his way to being a top 10 QB. They tore up the league that year. He’s absolutely worth it and I don’t see a fall back. -
I don't blame them for giving up. They get no rest between drives. The offense kept giving the ball back in great position. And Luck got the ball out quick to neutralize the pass rush. They've earned a bad game
