We wasted a good opportunistic Defense in 22 we can't do that in 2023 fix the Anemic Offense at all cost Offense Offense Offense in the Draft and FA. I say BB two years maybe one if he chokes this year again.My question to those of you who say no is how much longer do you want Bill to stay if we look how we did the last couple years? If we go 10-7 and lose in the first round again are you fine keeping Bill? If we win 8 or 9 games and miss the playoffs are you keeping him? I am just curious to see what the bar that has to be met is for the people who want to keep Bill.
The defense could use upgrades too. They were good not great IMO.We wasted a good opportunistic Defense in 22 we can't do that in 2023 fix the Anemic Offense at all cost Offense Offense Offense in the Draft and FA.
We were living off of defensive scores and it just isn't a sustainable model to win games. I think Curran likened it to "finding $20 bills on the ground until you get rich".We wasted a good opportunistic Defense in 22 we can't do that in 2023 fix the Anemic Offense at all cost Offense Offense Offense in the Draft and FA.
I still think we need a rangey coverage type LB and a real number 1 corner.The defense could use upgrades too. They were good not great IMO.
But our Offense and QB was bad.The defense could use upgrades too. They were good not great IMO.
Lots of holes to fix everywhere.But our Offense and QB was bad.
I think those Jones boys are going to morph into elite CB's. I love our CB situation.I still think we need a rangey coverage type LB and a real number 1 corner.
That sounds like we would be the new Jay Fiedler Miami Dolphins. Just good enough to be mediocre, but that’s it. Maybe we are them with Bill still here. Not sure. But this “who would you get to replace him” nonsense needs to stop. Chances are, the team won’t be better off without him either. But residing in mediocrity every year isn’t going to give you a great chance to rebuild through the Draft. At some point, we’re just going to have to be really bad before we can get good again. Hope that makes sense. I’m wrestling with Round 2 of Covid and the brain fog makes me feel like even more of a moron than usual.At least playoffs with a new coaching staff and create the illusion they could contend for an AFCE title. Any less and it’s time to go.
Me either. Don’t think I’ve seen any team average nearly 10 yards/play other than maybe a High School game.Congrats on last night. I figured it would be a blowout but I didn't expect to to get that brutal.
Since last year, they created the illusion for fans that their defense was better than it really was. Once again they were over overmatched by competent offenses.We wasted a good opportunistic Defense in 22 we can't do that in 2023 fix the Anemic Offense at all cost Offense Offense Offense in the Draft and FA.

Yep and every defense eventually cracks. Your offense has to score at some point. Ravens defense couldn’t replicate what they did in 2000 as well as the 2002 Bucs, 2013 Seahawks and 2015 Broncos.We were living off of defensive scores and it just isn't a sustainable model to win games.

Thanks. I feel fine other than the brain fog and some chest tightness. Pretty much same as last time. Covid is a nothingburger for me. My wife struggles a bit more because she has asthma, but she’s getting some monoclonal bois and will be right as rain within 24-48 hours.Hope you get better dude.

I’ve been saying the same thing for a while - one more season. It’s make or break this year. If the team is the picture of mediocrity again and we don’t win a playoff game next season, part ways, bottom out, and move on.
You don't know that for sure. A team looking for a fresh start is going to hire a guy who's going to be 71 and well into the back-9 or do you think teams are going to go for a young up-and-comer with a fresh perspective? Plus if BB comes in to another team, it's going to take a while to install his system and then get the players on the team to buy in...or not. That's going to take a year or two at a minimum. At that point BB is going to be 73 and even closer to the end of his career.- Bottom line? I know the moment you leave, if you don't finish your career here, you're going to take some crap team to the Super Bowl. We've both seen that movie. Tell me how we're going to do it here.
