Mr. Scot

Some of what I've read makes me think this is a real possibility, especially the reports from Dianna Russini.

Here's the video of Garafolo making the comment... So this was said yesterday before the game. Might not make a difference, but it's worth noting.

Adrian Wilson arrived too late in the offseason to have much of an impact.

Relevant to the discussion...

More on the Bills...

More detail on the final play from Joe Person... The Panthers had a play called that included an in-breaking route by DJ Chark Jr. and other downfield routes. But thinking the Titans were in Cover 0 — man coverage with no deep defender — Young checked to a screen to Chark, who was pulled down by safety Amani Hooker for no gain. Reich defended his rookie quarterback afterward, saying it was the right check and adding that Chark might have drifted back too far behind the line of scrimmage. “When you hit that play right versus 0, it’s a touchdown. DJ probably came a little further back than he needed to. He’s not normally the guy in there for that,” Reich said. “We had a couple (receivers) go down. The play that we had called was going to put DJ on another in-cut, not that he was primary. So we wanted him in that spot. We just need to execute that better.” But Chark said the Titans were not in Cover 0 and the Panthers would have done better to stick with the original call. “It was against Cover 0, but they didn’t go Cover 0. My job is to get 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage. I have to check and see how far I was, but felt like I got 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage,” Chark said. “I’ve gotta watch film and see what it is.” Asked whether he should have left the initial play call, Young also said he needed to watch the tape. “We had an option to have that on. You play that cat-and-mouse game, and it didn’t go our way,” he said. “That’s on me. As a unit, we’ve just gotta execute on big plays.” Link

Depends. Are you talking about the Josh Allen who had Ken Dorsey as a quarterback coach and Brian Daboll as an OC or the subsequent version?

More ominosity (no, that's not a real word) from Gantt... Between this and his earlier tweet posted here, I'd say it doesn't exactly sound like Gantt is Frank Reich's biggest fan. Is there more to be taken from this, or...

This from an old huddler...

Overreactions happen, though. On a related note, I think a lot of people are starting to feel like Josh Allen might have been a little overrated.

Video of Chark...

I'd agree, though I do have some legitimate beefs with some of his decisions. This, for example... I didn't know Blackshear was the leaves leading kick returner, but that info just makes this decision look worse than I felt it already was.

Ben Albright mentioned hearing that Sean McDermott's seat is "warm".

There is one conceivable possibility... If there's an older tackle currently available, a guy who might not have been able to play a full season but could still have enough to play six game, you could potentially bring that guy aboard and ask him to finish up the year on the left while moving Ekwonu inside the guard. Preferably, this would be a guy who operated in a West Coast / zone blocking scheme before. Before anybody asks, no I haven't looked at the free agent list. I'm just spitballing.

Jerry Richardson's biggest issue was that he put too much faith in the wrong people, a frequent end result of which was people being put into positions they weren't really qualified for (Marty Hurney being a prime example). David Tepper's biggest problem seems to be too much faith in himself.

I'm gonna need the account number 🫥 (maybe a debit card number, expiration date and three-digit code)

That's where I've had a question about Fitterer. I know per his own statements that he was pretty heavily convinced on Bryce Young. Reich was long rumored to be interested in Stroud or even Richardson. There are definite coaching mistakes that I believe Reich has made, but if he was overruled on his choice of quarterback, that's an issue.

Forget who mentioned it, but the point Kyle Bailey made about Tepper potentially wanting to avoid a repeat of last year's interim situation could be important here.

I've seen that suggestion made before.

I feel like that would make more sense in our current scheme.
