SectionC3

Oh yeah.

I dunno about the down part. There's a way to fix this. If I'm the owner, as absurd as this sounds, I wonder if a defensive head coach is in order. To me the D is the huge issue here, and a coordinator change and a couple of WRs would do wonders for the offense.

Lots of nonprosecution there. Why is that? And what was he arrested for, Anus Man? Kind of looks like a mental illness issue here. So you can highlight one instance of one person who may or may not have been previously violent (the predicate for this whole conversation) and attempt to apply it to all of the "libz" everywhere. Or you could, like, actually work in the field and know what you're talking about. Want to know what the big issue is in New York State? Discovery. DAs are slow to adapt to new discovery rules, and they blow a lot of (typically nonviolent) cases, resulting either in speedy trial dismissals or lame plea deals that accomplish next to nothing (no treatment program, no probation, no incarceration). Lots of R DAs in this state in the rural areas. And then guess what else happens? The R judges take a misguided stand against bail reform (a well-intentioned but highly imperfect law for reasons that you're not aware of) by not applying the provisions that allow for holds to make a political point. Happens ALL. THE. TIME. And then, in my experience, they take care of their buddies in the defense bar and cut their clients sweetheart deals. Happens ALL. THE. TIME. So it's not just the "libz" that make these mistakes. It's both sides. There have been two big issues re: bail reform and pretrial release here locally in the past year. One screw up (which looks bad, but really wasn't a mistake for a variety of reasons) was by a democrat. The other screw up (from a legal perspective, but probably not from a practical perspective) was by a republican.

The offense to me is a fairly easy fix if some of the understudies on the line are ready to play. QB/RB/TE are all solidly in place. Slot is there--I think--and it's really a matter of finding effective speed at WR.

I agree on Beane. I question whether Terry blows the whole thing (McD included) up unless Josh puts his foot down. What I can see happening, based on no inside knowledge, is Josh getting frustrated, and Terry making a simple, safe move (Belichick, proven winner [I suppose, if one discounts Brady and video] and new defensive staff; Daboll, keep some holdovers on the offensive staff) to placate Josh and to mitigate risk. If McD does stay, then one has to wonder who the sacrificial lamb will be. The bet here is Brady and the S/C staff, with some changes on the defensive side of the ball that might not include Babich.

I’m more into blaming Beane but I think it’s time for a new voice for the players, too. And I agree with you that I don’t think McD is going to get it done here.

I normally don’t agree with stuff like this, but what the hell. Why not try not of Daboll would come back during 10 day break. Nobody can fix the WR mess, but Brady probably isn’t coming back anyhow and maybe something like this would be a spark.

Mess is the perfect word. Josh is wasting his time with this group. No rhythm or imagination on the offensive side. Defense is hard to watch. There’s gonna be at least one coordinator on the way out. And I’m wondering if one of Beane/McD goes too.

I actually agree with you for once.

Quiet, piggy. The people who know what they’re talking about are speaking.

This makes no sense. I don’t think even you get what point you were trying to make.

So I assume. The question was with whom to replace him. Absent an upgrade I suppose it was worth having him here. Now that Gabe is contributing, I see no reason Keon gets a jersey absent multiple injuries at that position. As an aside, another good night by Gabe might make one wonder if he is one of the more unique FAs in NFL history. Easily the best WR upgrade on the market late in a year, when injuries start to hit, healthy, would be contributing and on a roster, yet free to leave at any time. A good game might get him a nice contract now if he’s so inclined. Food for thought.

I completely agree with this, except I'd use the word "injuries" at the end instead. I can't seem him getting time over any two of Palmer, Davis, or Shavers outside. I can't comprehend that they'd trust him in the slot without lots of practice time there, since he apparently is a little unsure of what he's supposed to be doing outside. He doesn't play core teams, and he almost got himself killed on his one PR. Barring multiple injuries, I just don't see how he gets a jersey again this year.

Why would they bring him back this week? Things worked well last week. Completely the wrong message to put him back in.

Neither does Trump. Summit in Russia? He shouldn’t have car keys.
