Yeah I think you issue some bland blah blah blah about how you’ve cooperated with all investigations and you’re looking forward to proving that big Dan isn’t a crook and everything is on the up and up, and that the organization is focused on Winning for Are Fans and won’t be distracted by a witch hunt.

Man, MCDC had me wanting to go punch a dolphin after one press conference I was so amped up. I dunno what this dude is.

I will say that if I was trying to convince people, least of all my players, that I was qualified for a job, the sentiment "I might be very terrible at this." probably would be something I'd leave in the drafts.

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

We all overreacted thinking everyone was going to be awesome and some predicted it, but the AFC West being this pathetic outside of (probably, maybe) the Chiefs is very surprising to me.

Yeah, it's like the NFL's version of a disaster movie. Like, in their hubris, they built the world's tallest skyscraper but let McDaniels build the foundation and Nathaniel Hackett design the fire suppression system and the Chargers plan the opening night party on the top floor and now everything's crumbling and on fire and half the all-star cast has already been wiped out. Patrick Mahomes is Steve McQueen in this analogy, I guess.

The Colts don't have an offensive line that can block at all, a rookie QB who is in way over his head, a dude who's never coached running the team and they picked a signal caller out of a hat.

Maxx Crosby alone will win that game, regardless of what everyone else does.

The only way this could be better if it was a TNF game.

e: Spurrier would probably do just fine in this situation if they got him away from the golf course.

He was dogshit last year too. He had an incredible week 1, and then never really impacted the game again. The Cardinals didn't bring him back because he didn't have a lot left.

Yeah, I mean the Raiders have a disappointing but fairly average offense, while the Colts defense is fine, but is going to be receiving absolutely zero help.

They made the playoffs last year with an interim head coach in a loaded conference. McDaniels of course did the Patriot Assistant That Is Now A Head Coach thing and blew everything up.

Mahomes is 23-3 against his division for a reason.

Denver was always an all or nothing prospect if everything worked perfectly maybe they can be competitive with the Chiefs. Unfortunately they made a franchise ruining mistake and won't be relevant for years. The Chargers just always underperform when it matters. I thought at best they could be a fringe playoff team and they still can be.

But Las Vegas being so putrid is very surprising. LV vs IND had the makings of an great game at the beginning of the season but well now it is the clownball special of the week.

From the article:

quote:

In two starts, Ehlinger’s been sacked on 17.5 percent of his drop backs, worst of any QB in the league with at least 60 attempts.

Almost one of 5 times you drop back you're getting sacked with your QB who supposedly is mobile (spoiler: he's sorta not, but he does his best). And Saturday's keeping the OL coach, although I don't really know how much there is to be gained from changing him out at this point. Look Ehlinger is almost certainly awful, but it seems like he wouldn't be seeing the field if the line could pass block at all.

Just a disaster all around.

Yeah, here's a video of all 9 sacks, like what could anyone do with this offensive line?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIYkoqEy9u4

First two are identical stunts the OL completely miss on, no chance.
3rd is the entire middle just gets clowned and he's sacked immediately
4th is an olay by the LT
5th is a coverage sack after pressure forces him out of the pocket
6th is a deep attempt where the pocket isn't there
7th is a free rusher where the RB notices way too late. This might be the worst one, they jut let Judon in free, ignoring him.
8th is a pocket collapse where the rookie does dumb poo poo.
9th is a late addon bullrush over the LT.

Sure, but they still look like a worse team in every way this year. Carr is averaging almost a yard less per throw than the previous 3 years and his completion percentage is 6-8% lower. He’s somehow made the offense worse on two axes that should be inversely proportional. Shorter passes should be easier to complete but instead they’re harder to complete and less beneficial when they do.

I wonder if it's gonna come out at some point that McDaniels just dropped a phonebook-sized playbook in front of everybody and walked away, without streamlining the system at all for players who are now struggling to pick it up

I’m sure that’s exactly what happened. Which is pretty funny if true since he did an admirable job of making the offense easy for Max Jones last year so he is at least aware that you need to adapt your offense to the players and situation.
