A lot of this has to do with the type of players that the coaching staff and Beane plug into the defense. They tend to have speed at the expense of size and durability. I get it with the injuries but imo some of this, in particular the linebackers, is due to the particular players that fit the scheme. Injuries to undersized players are now a problem and thus I think it's perfectly legitimate to question whether the scheme needs to be re-evaluated.

I was in El Chalten, and slept through it fighting a cold. Hiked Fitz Roy/Laguna de los Tres the next day. I'd say I got the better end of that deal.

How is that not a delay of game? I have watched football for 35 years and I have never seen that at the 2 minute warning.

I noticed this too... they should start going to this more often.

Last offseason, I booked a trip for this year to Patagonia for hiking over the Super Bowl because I was so confident that the Bills would be fighting, at best, for the division this year. They'd be lucky to win a wild card game. On Super Bowl Sunday, we are in a small town called El Chalten that lacks reliable cell service and has no landline-based internet. ESPN Argentina will be carrying the game in Spanish and it is not clear whether our inn gets it or not. This of course means the Bills will be playing. I suppose the pro is that I won't have to listen to Tom Brady's color commentary.

You make it a condition of hire and write it into the contract that the GM and/or HC have final say over roster composition and the cap. I'm not saying it will happen... but IMO that's what it is going to take for the Jets to have success with whomever they decide to run the football operations of the franchise.

They need a McDermott type coach to change the culture and keep Woody out of the day-to-day decision making. I agree that Glenn doesn't seem like that kind of person. Ironically I would have said Saleh might be a few years ago, but we know how that turned out.

This is a very good development.

Blakeman and Hochuli IMO are the most likely to see CC assignments at R. There is an outside chance of Scott Novak potentially getting an assignment as well.

I am hoping and praying that Shawn Hochuli does not end up at Arrowhead next week. That's the biggest wild card we're gonna have to deal with.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

I fear Baltimore a lot more than these guys. Though I will say my greatest fear is that son of Hochuli gets assigned the game.

My god the officials are doing everything they can to kill Houston.

Very predictable.

I'm in the camp of wanting to get this week over as soon as possible and just play the game, so we know the outcome. This game, for whatever reason, is kicking up the BBFS in me. I think it's the combination of the lack of success against very physical teams, little confidence in Babich, Henry's success against us with BAL and TEN, and McD's complete lack of in-game coaching skill. On the other hand, I feel very good about the offense's ability to keep pace with their offense. I feel like it's gonna be close and I hope and pray that McDermott doesn't botch the end-of-game decision making.
