Big Turk

I cant disagree. He doesn't have great defenses during the year but they seem to get better in the playoffs. Ours gets worse season after season from regular season to playoffs.

Not me...I watch all the playoff games regardless. I guess it helps with the pain

Wondering if Hamlin being there had the opposite effect as what it should have

McD was ranked as the 2ne best situational coach in the NFL this season next to Sirianni in Philly. I'll listen to a lot of things on McD, this isn't one of them tho. You are barking up the wrong tree.

Yes. He looked like someone who was spent. Mentally and emotionally.

I think the Eagles D makes Purdy look like trash. Talk about the 49ers pass rush?? Eagles almost broke the NFL record , finished just 2 sacks short from tying it with 70. Whoever they play will be under duress all day long

Is he balling out? He isn't looking so hot today

Exactly what I said. They were emotionally and mentally spent. That manifests physically last, but when it does it looks like an all out collapse. Allen echoed it saying "We just didn't have it today"

That our receivers drop the ball too much when Allen hits them in the hands perfectly? Perfect throw, it needed to be caught.

And Baltimore.

Diggs left before the coaches even got to the tunnel, was talked into coming back by Duke Johnson but then left again after a few minutes. Not a great look for a team captain.

The Chiefs literally let Hill walk because they wouldn't pay him. Chiefs didn't even have a WR with a $5 million cap hit this year. MVS was the highest at $4.8 million. Not them. The Raiders top 2 WRs made had a cap hit of $16 million combined this year. Nope, not them. Chargers yes...Bucs yes. Look what happened to them. The correct model is an elite 1st rounder on a rookie deal paired with a legit high priced #1.

I think they need a new DC but they won't. Frazier's schemes even with high level talent are exposed by good offenses in playoff games. I'm wondering if we could get more out of what we have in those situations with a different scheme. It would be hard to get less. It's like he coaches scared and gives up free yardage to not get beat deep

There is no way you can afford to pay 2 WRs #1 money. Every team in the NFL relies on a true #1 and a guy on a rookie deal. Look around and find me one team that pays 2 WRs #1 money. You won't find me one because there isn't one.

Especially if the Jets get a competant vet QB. Even Carr makes them a LOT better than they were this year with that D and the young skill position players. Fins have no 1st round pick this year.

But they weren't a great defense...they just took advantage of officials not making calls against them. Kudos to them. They didn't get away with it in the SB and got flagged often and blown out.

Because every team hits on all draft picks?

Maher again!!! I can't believe it!

So KC has a great defense? Or one that just plays situationally well?

Dallas D looks quite nasty as well

That's how KC does it. However their DC gets the most out of his talent in big games unlike Frazier who seems to do that until we play a really good offense, then he gets exposed.

I doubt that will be one of the demand made of him. In fact I know it won't. That's what I am saying. If they are going to continue running this scheme they need to focus on the offense. They simply need to outscore teams in the playoffs.

It's a scheme issue IMO. They give up way too much when they try and take something away. It makes sense because year to year it is much easier to stay consistently good offensively than it is defensively. This has been studied. Much higher correlation year to year with good offenses versus good defenses. So if they are going to not be good when they play good offensive teams then they need to outscore them.

I just answered why. You must never have had to endure a significantly rough stretch and then had to continuously perform under it if you don't understand how this happens. At some point doing it over and over again with no breaks or downtime it just wears on you mentally and emotionally which then becomes physically. The answer is, it's simple. Football players are human beings not robots
