Ugh. For once I’d like a team that I am a fan of to actually win it. Not finish 5th. I guess your happy with playoff mediocrity Quote

mrags Posted March 24 Posted March 24 1 minute ago, FireChans said: No more. They wasted enough capital as it is. Pray Rousseau is more than potential and Epenesa takes steroids. Offense x 1000 going forward. Let's try to win 38-35 over trying to win 21-17. We may still lose, but I'm 100% on board with pivoting strategy. We don't have the horses and beating our heads into the wall trying to get them picking #28 and later every year ain't gonna work. Serious question, what are you gonna do if @GoBills808 isn't around to make cogent points for you? Oh don’t worry I don’t need people to back up my opinions that most of you on this message board disagree with anyway. I really don’t care. 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Good job.

And more will be spent over the years, because you need at least 8 D linemen. Basham was a bad decision. Murphy an uninspired FA choice. But if Miller doesn’t tear his ACL we had a great shot 2 years ago. Quote
Beast Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I think McDermott realizes that we will have to bring pressure from blitz schemes. Our front 4 just hasn’t done the job in crunch time during this playoff run. Time to do something else. Quote

MRags' first post in this thread was (in part) as follows: Rotate 17 defensive linemen every game and see how little snaps he can give to the actual difference makers on the defense Who are these "difference makers" on the DL? I can't get a straight answer - you're obviously an expert, so please, do tell! Quote

That still doesn’t negate the fact that the “guru” and beloved defensive head coach has gotten everything he’s asked for to help his defense. despite being a top 5-10 defense every year and finishing near the top of the league in sacks during the season, he vanishes in the playoffs. Against literally every opponent. He had a decent showing against the ravens in the Covid year and that’s it. Quote

Re-signing AJE for top-tier JAG money at least signaled they weren't going DE no matter what in round 1. Still means his market was JAG money. Someone should tell the NFL they made a mistake, he had 6.5 sacks! 1 Quote

Identifying young talent and spending FA $s on DL, has been Beanes/Staff biggest issue. You're making a point targeted at Beane, in your post above. If MCD is driving these decisions, which I'm sure he has some say, but it's the talent evaluators, pro and college, that are failing and Beane. Beane has turned us into a contender, because he got us Josh and Diggs. But beyond that, he's been "solid" not spectacular. Horrible returns on DL and missing on too many 1st/2nd round picks, is starting to show (when we have to eat the low return on Basham, Elam). 1 2 Quote

Show us where anyone on the board called McD a guru. Quote
