No defensive TO? I thought calling one was mandatory.

Just a terrible angle by the safety Edmunds there. No wonder he’s on his 3rd team.

Would’ve been an even bigger advantage for MIA if they had been there for a week already. I compare this travel schedule to the Titans/Ravens. Ravens left on Monday, Titans later in the week. Ravens won the game, but I’m not sure how much their early arrival helped.

I wonder if those two off the couch are better than Settle and Ford who have been getting live game reps.

First game Nick Bolton doesn’t play and the Broncos moved the ball against that 2nd ranked D relatively easy. Now imagine if they were also down their best CB Sneed and also their 2nd best DT Nnadi. For the year. Makes a significant difference in the defensive performance. At least for them that’s not the case AND they get Bolton back in a few weeks. Injuries are the great equalizer.

Beane didn’t say he’d be inactive for the game. He said he’ll leave it up to McD as far as how much he plays (or if he doesn’t). Only thing Rasul might miss this week is the walk-through today.

Used to be. They’re much fewer now post pandemic.

As evidence by the Edmunds contract. If Johnson leaves in FA next year they’ll likely get a comp pick for him anyway.

I’m not usually a trade for this guy! Trade for that one! Sort of person, but if Beane sits on his hands and does nothing, considering the injuries we have and the inevitability of a weaker roster once these contracts start escalating next year, I’ll lose all faith in him. It’s not like he’s a strong drafter anyway.

So predictable, I called it in the offseason. I thought it would take about 4-6 games though, but they were already on him by game 2. Whoever pushed for him on the Bears pro personnel department should be fired.

If he does get moved, I only want a player for player deal, no draft picks. Take a disappointing pick off of another team and hope he’s our second chapter of Jerry Hughes vs Kelvin Sheppard. DT Mazi Smith, CB Emmanuel Forbes, LB Devin Lloyd, etc.

Thats how it happened too, late to the play and someone fell into his leg.

Injured.

I’ve been to a few of these Chargers games and in almost every one of them the opposing team’s fans are much louder. The game against Dallas was deafening whenever Dallas had a positive play. Must feel weird to be a Charger or Ram, there’s no home field advantage.

My mother was born in 1959. That’s all I’ve got.

Keep your eye on which players are inactive this week…

He was getting mugged pretty good and got zero calls, meanwhile the Bills get hit with two that I considered questionable. Refs gonna ref.

Looked like they were consciously trying to get Diggs involved in the 2nd half and the offense struggled to move the ball all of a sudden. I liked the multi-faceted first half approach, please keep targeting everyone.

Which one? He did it TWICE!

It’s uncanny, supernatural even, how almost every defensive timeout leads to something positive for the opposing offense. You’d think McD would learn.

Hamlin is a much better story than he is a player.

It started last year when Xavier Rhodes was curiously active over Elam. Like you, I have to believe it goes beyond talent and potential. Something happened at OBD that we’re not privy to.

If a guy who was sitting on his couch a couple weeks ago is activated over our first round pick, then yes, see what you can get for Elam. It’s over and done with for him under McD.

I thought your other post was akin to “Kyler Murray makes X amount of dollars. If he wants to play video games rather than study film, let him play his games. It’s on the offensive coordinator to adjust to Kyler.” 😅 I see what you mean by letting Allen play how he wants to play though, even if that means designed rushes. I’d rather hand the ball off to a RB than have Allen running by design and taking hits, but we’re just about at the point of “however we can get it done, do it.” He still needs to get better in season with his prep though. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when he meets with Dorsey and Joe Brady to review game film. If we can all see 4 Pats defenders on the left side of the line against only 2 blockers, Allen has to see the same, right? So why run the toss sweep? To me that was more egregious than not recognizing receivers that popped open in the endzone. I want to hear his explanations and what the coaches are telling him.

Im with Wayne on this. You have a 6 year veteran superstar QB who’s not executing the most basic of reads. What can Dorsey do to compensate for that? Call a high percentage of rushes and screen passes? What eventually happens to offensive coordinators who are forced to work with a subpar QB? Allen isn’t subpar, but he’s playing that way at times. Forget about what the money affords him, this is more on him to execute what’s there than it is for Dorsey to cater to a QB who’s not seeing the field well. In the case of the latter, those QBs are usually replaced by those who can. Josh simply needs to play better, but he’s not alone. Everyone needs to elevate their game.
