Likely, yes. But the fans are already "saving their postage" to put up a billboard. If he doesnt get the OL and play calling figured out soon, the seat is going to get hotter.

Zac Taylor going to be a "surprise" fire if he doesnt get things straightened out in Cincy.

Even as a classic Edmunds detractor I don't necessarily agree. I think he'll go to another team and play very well. Hopefully he doesnt go to another decent AFC team. He will definitely be a point of conversation here for a long time into the future, and likely due to how well he does on his next team. But it's just a matter of $$$. We can't afford to pay him $18M-20M/year.

3 points.

Rhule back to UB???

Ehh, if I'm going to add a RB, I want a true RB. Not a pass catcher. We have lots of those. Give me someone who is dangerous between the tackles. That is who we are truly missing. The way I figure, if I'm adding a pass catching RB, I might as well add the better pass catcher and go OBJ. JMO

Genuine is Genuine!

$11M in 2025 will be bottom of the list. He isnt highly paid.

We arent paying anything right now. New deal was an extension that doesnt even kick in for another year. He is making a base $965k this year.

Serious question. Compared to what? He's the #22 paid TE next year. And barely on the list this year.\ https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/tight-end/

Maybe he could be, but the bigger difference is both of those guys are their teams #1 target. For the Bills, Knox is like #3 or #4. Only so many balls to go around, and our offense runs through Diggs and the WRs.

Haha, for real. It was over week 2 when they had to bring in an additional coach to help him with in-game decisions. Like, WHAT?!?

You know that. I know that. The world may know that. But Hackett doesnt have the ability to make those decisions in real time.

He remembered the last time he was in that position and got lit up for taking it out of Russ's hands. This time he said "ok, world, lets see what our Franchise QB has". Turns out he's got nothin.

Maybe theyre trying to give Bernard more 1st team reps in case we pull our starters early? Seems like too cocky a move for McD to be true, but could be... Right, like how can you note a team is a 14 point FAVORITE and then say it's going to be a tough game???

What the ***** is all this bull####?

KC is a playoff game that will likely decide the #1 seed and therefore homefield advantage. We have to throw everyone and the kitchen sink at KC. Rolling over for them now pretty much sandbags our SB run. Weak, dude. Weak.

Just in the Ravens game alone, he had a pretty big catch for 20 on that last drive that was clutch. Also had a huge catch to get down to the 1 and out of bounds before half to setup the McKenzie TD. Had a HUGE seal block to spring Shakir on that 12 yard run. He does a lot of little things that dont show up on stat sheets but are crucial to us winning. He's a problem for teams. He'll get his eventually. I agree that not having that 2nd TE threat is hampering what Dorsey wants to do, and the way he is using Knox. He had 2 TEs when he was playing in Miami, right? Shockey and Winslow?

Just gonna leave this here again...

Yep. Russ will stay. Hackett has to go. They dont really have a choice.

Yeah, we had a running joke in one of the group chats about the "dreaded 3rd quarter", and folks not bothering to come back from halftime until the 4th quarter. They really turned that around. Great stuff to see in the development of a first time Head Coach and his staff.

They have to get rid of Hackett and get real coaches in there. Only way they are ever going to get any return on their investment in Russ. Yes, a LOT of this is on Wilson, but I think his confusion and lack of confidence starts from the top. With the new owner coming in, he certainly has the opportunity to cut Hackett. We'll see. Edit: And yes, with the performance they are getting out of Geno Smith, Carroll looks like an absolute GENIUS right now.

Thank god we dont have to watch the Broncos again until... next Monday Night OHWHATTHEFUUUUU!?
