Coach Tuesday

No words... I want the WR from Colorado. The Bills need WRs with YAC potential.

He still - STILL - looks out of shape to me. How many other EDGE rushers do you see with a beer gut? I'm glad he's playing with a bit more suddenness this year but it was absolutely the right call not to exercise the option.

He has done it before and he knows that the real season starts after Thanksgiving. This is the time that good teams buckle down, eliminate the noise, and focus on what’s directly in front of them. Last time the Ravens won the Super Bowl they started the season mediocre and got hot in late November and never lost another game. This season feels similar for them. Hopefully McD, who isn’t used to success as a HC, already has taken notes from Reid and Rivera about ratcheting up the intensity starting NOW.

Isn’t that impossible?

I'm sorry - you think the Bills' solution is to add a "battering ram"-type compliment to Singletary WITH THEIR FIRST ROUND PICK? That is just...

Don't shoot the messenger here - if there is really going to be a historic influx of WR talent next year, we'll also need to draft another CB or two...

Now I'm wondering if we're better off losing to the Ravens on Sunday to better our odds of beating them in January - odd, I know. It's been so long...

Cover 1 dug deep this week - really cool how he showed Beazers' college tape as a comparison.

Huh? Boyle is definitely on the Ravens. http://www.nfl.com/player/nickboyle/2552402/profile

The Texans aren’t scared at all.

Coaching

Lorax is the weak link - I might play Neal instead - we need one more athletic linebacker to really match up with them.

Meanwhile in New Jersey...

It’s called Stockholm Syndrome and 90% of this message board has it. I think they want J Johnson to take over for Poyer next season.

It’s subconscious bias not intentional bias. I think.

Saw the same thing and had a similar reaction. Plus the hurrying to the line to keep the defense on its heels - 12 is his hero and his game is becoming similarly cerebral.

Virgil stepped up his game just like Josh did yesterday. Good stuff. As for the game: we had the better QB. It’s that simple to me. I’ll say it again: there has been no game this year where I thought the other team’s quarterback was materially better than ours.

Couldn’t have said it any better.

Need to match their intensity right out of the gate. Let’s see if this team is ready for prime time - I have no idea which Bills squad shows up. None. We are in uncharted territory as far as the last two decades go...

Growth

I despise Roger Goodell.

You mean this savage take right here? Two years ago, I nicknamed Garrett “The Clapper” because it was apparent to me that all he does is clap. His impact on the team is non-existent; in a sense, he does not impact the offense, defense, or the kicking game. The television cameras are always showing him, yet he never looks at the Microsoft Surface to examine what happened in the game; we never really see him looking at the play clips, huddling with the players during a break in the action, or scanning a call sheet, and we never even really see him needing to cover his mouth because he rarely speaks. The television people don’t have to look for him as he is always in the same spot. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever heard any player say, “Garrett made me better, he showed me how to play the game.” Nor do I notice any variances in his schemes from game to game, which would demonstrate Garrett’s involvement. The Cowboys are the same each week, they rely on talent to win, they rely on players to play well. But they don’t do the little things to help make a player better. A recent example is how they didn’t help wide receiver Amari Cooper get away from Patriots corner Stephon Gilmore on Sunday. Garrett had to know that Belichick’s number one objective each week is to take away his opponent’s number one receiver. He was not going to allow Cooper to have a big day. If receiver Randall Cobb or tight end Jason Witten played well and caused the Patriots to lose, then Belichick would accept the consequences. But if Cooper had a big day and was the reason why the Patriots lost, Belichick would not be able to live with himself. Garrett has to know this! I mean, come on … even if he didn’t read my book Gridiron Genius — which details how Belichick draws up his game plan every week — Garrett had to know Belichick’s gameplan. It’s common knowledge. So if Garrett knew beforehand, why didn’t he find creative ways to allow Cooper to escape Gilmore? Why didn’t he do something to help his receiver? Do you think the Patriots or 49ers would let the opponent take away the best player without knowing the adjustments beforehand? And why did quarterback Dak Prescott have to put on a glove in the second quarter because of the steady rain affecting the footballs? Do you think the Cowboys practiced with frozen footballs drenched in water? Of course not … but the Patriots did. The answers to both questions are Garrett never prepares for the situation; he only can react.

LOOK CLOSER

This is the Zay Jones of threads.

Only if he also throws for 300 yards in that Super Bowl, otherwise it doesn't really count.
