Low Positive

Can an unpaid intern act as a shadow OC?

Right? They even botched the coach firing. As if getting killed by "Secret Bagent Man" and the Bears wasn't reason enough to do this. But you can buy your Devonte Adams Jets jersey. That is as good as a done deal.

He'll bring up Mahomes at least 5 times in the game on Sunday night. He used to do that with Tom Brady. Not to mention, when I just want to watch TV I have to see crap like this. He never goes away.

It even started going away before the Pandemic. Vegas used to to be the place of cheap rooms, cheap buffets and prime rib, and free drinks. They made it back and then some at the blackjack tables. Now, it's all luxury hotels, high-end nightclubs, and $300 tomahawk steaks. I guess that's what happens when you can gamble in almost any city in the United States.

Feels like Devonte Adams is the defacto GM right now in Vegas.

I hear ya. I'm usually positive on this forum because I don't see the value in preparing myself for letdowns, but if you came into my office right now I could unleash a 30-minute rant on that inexcusable loss to the Pats two weeks ago. I'm still pissed, and if the Bills don't make the playoffs we'll point back to that game. But to assume that the Bills will lose this Sunday is a bit too much. Let's look back at that game in SF. It was really close until it wasn't. It was 17-10 in the 4th when Brock Purdy threw an interception at his own 20 to gift the Bengals a free TD. Then the Niners marched down the field to score a TD of their own to make it 24-17. Right back in it. The next Bengals TD drive was a killer, I'll give you that. And the week before that, the Bengals scored TDs on their first two drives and then managed 3 points over the next three quarters. I'm not saying that the Bengals are not a good team. They are a very good team. But you and others here are treating them like they're the Greatest Show on Turf on offense and the 85 Bears on defense. Let's let the game play out. If they get destroyed, I'll be right alongside you and everyone calling for everyone to be fired.

He does give off string Lane Kiffin vibes.

What, you’re telling me that the Bills haven’t played the Bengals yet? I thought that game was already over and that the Bengals put up 50 in a rout.

New England as OC. Gotta see if they can get rookie-year Mac back before deciding on picking up the 5th year option.

He must have completely lost the room. That’s the only explanation of why you make this move now.

He is. That’s how bad it had gotten.

They never do

You can't say that. Think back to when Tim Murray was honest about being disappointed about getting Jack Eicehel instead of McDavid. The honesty was nice, but the relationship between the team and the player was doomed from the start because of it.

At least we know that he's not gonna complain about the cold weather.

Last year at Arrowhead? This year against Miami?

It is just a replacement for Harris. And they needed that. Can't be an injury away from Ty Johnson getting significant carries.

My favorite is "Injuries aren't an excuse," followed by "this team doesn't have enough talent." Either talent matters or it doesn't.

I thought that yous guys were talking about this guy

No, we cut him and signed Shane Buechele back in August Interesting that he wasn't even on NFL Trade Rumors' list of top 100 free agents: https://nfltraderumors.co/top-100-2023-nfl-free-agents-list/

The Broncos are going to try to compete for the remainder of the season just because they got one win this Sunday? Strange decision. The Bears' only move was adding a player and losing a pick. Strange decision.

There is a really good video where Tom Grossi goes into what is going on with the Bears. They have no leadership. Their primary owner is George Hallas' 100 yo daughter. They keep missing on coach/GM hires because they keep letting the same people run the search. And what's ironic is that Bill Polian has his fingerprints all over the dysfunction.

I'm more worried about the DT situation.

We sent them a 3rd and they sent us Douglas and a 5th.

So the Chiefs didn't get a WR and the Fins didn't get defensive help, and the Bengals didn't get a TE? Good day for the Bills.

The more that I think about Chicago, the more that I think that the guys that are making decisions won't be the guys making the picks unless they start showing some promise. So their interests and the long-term interests of the franchise don't coincide.
