But even Kyler was an average QB in a bad organization in Arizona, but KOC got his hands on him and now he's bad. Kirk would be an improvement to be sure, I just don't know if the offense will be good enough with KOC running this clownshow. He's gonna abandon the run game again and put the entire offense on Kirk's shoulders. He's going to continue to run these screens that defenses blow up 95% of the time.
-
It's truly incredible how hard this defense fights and can go toe-to-toe with top 5 offenses and embarrass them... just to watch the most incompetent offense from a group of players who have no business looking this bad. The Bills defense has been terrible this year! That's now like 4 or 5 top 10 defenses we've faced that have been made to look competent. I'm not convinced a QB addition moves the needle that much, every QB KOC plays turns to dust and can't throw accurate passes. Do we really think Kirk will come in and play just like he is from the far superior Kubiak offense? The dude did just throw 3 picks against the 49ers.
-
The Jags are going full Rams, good for them. I don't like the price of Davis for a 1st and 2nd rounder, he's a good run stuffer but he's having a bad year against the pass. He was debatably the 3rd best iDL on the Eagles.
-
Inactives - Bills starting LT and LG are out. Vikings are down S Theo Jackson (was playing 30-40% of def snaps), and DL Caleb Banks is a healthy scratch.
-
Yeah, maybe we can stop getting 7 Cowboys primetime games per season!
-
Yeah, it's bizarre to not even want to trade rentals. They are reportedly refusing to trade Khalil Mack who's only on a 1 year deal, the Chargers are 0-7, what is he possibly giving you that you can't trade him away for? Really stupid stuff. The Titans are reportedly not going to trade Tony Pollard, which also makes zero sense. Expiring contract, soon to be 30 years old, they have a young RB they just drafted who should get a trial period... but no, the coaches think they can still be playoff-relevant with terrible rosters. Zero self-awareness on their part. Miller was in the doghouse with two different NO coaching staffs, so something is up with him. But it is odd to axe him when they only have 2 RBs. I imagine somebody picks him up.
-
Mullens would be free (Jags practice squad), you would think the Vikings would have scooped him up after trading JJM. I imagine KOC would rather have him over Brosmer to be QB2 for the next couple games, but evidently the organization still has belief in Max for some reason. Unlike last year he had a bad preseason to pile on top of his abysmal regular season play.
-
Agreed if you get more of 2026 Jones. I have a feeling KOC saw what Jones was doing in 2025 and thinks he could replicate that here.
-
I could see KOC pounding the table for Jones at a cheap cost, and he'd only cost $2.9M salary this year and a $500K dead cap hit to release. Not exciting given he's been crap this year, but I can see it happening.
-
Time for another update:
-
They did a lot of short stuff in the Browns and Steelers games last year with Wentz too. We'll see if they continue that or do the old hold the ball for too long waiting for an explosive play downfield. Well, that's been basically every QB under KOC.
-
I think it will look more functional, but let's not forget we scored 9 points on Wentz's last start... and he has a high propensity for turning over the ball.
-
Nit-pick, Tiernan only played 11 snaps which is 2.5%. Yeah, the common defense is "you all called Dallas Turner a bust because you weren't patient", but that glazes over many things like how A) some prospects should be able to play right away and others need development time and B) Turner was one of the youngest players in the draft whilst Banks was the 4th oldest in his class, oh and most importantly C) the vast majority of prospects who do nothing in Year 1/2 end up busting, guys who break out in Year 3/4 are the exception and not the rule. I'm still a believer in parts of the class, I think Golday can be a very good player but LBs develop slower than other positions so you need patience for a guy like that. But Banks and Orange shouldn't be getting man-handled like they have been, your two 3rd rounders shouldn't be projects who might contribute in 2028, and they blew Day 3 picks on a mediocre FB that they've stopped using, a speed-only RB when plenty of good RBs went rounds 4-5 (Coleman, Washington Jr, Johnson), and a non top-500 prospect center who wasn't even good enough to be kept on our 16 man practice squad.
-
If an Addison trade happens I think it'll take place over this offseason, this should be the decision year as they either extend him or trade him. I think we had this conversation last year too, but they just don't seem willing to let him go mid-season and let the WR room be bad outside of Jefferson. I just saw a blurb from the Rams Athletic writer saying that they're likely to trade for a receiver and Jennings is on a short list for them - given Teasley tried to deal him last week, seems like he might be gone sooner than later. Then they're not going to also trade Addison and only have Jefferson-Felton-Price... and cooked OBJ.
-
Brissett is playing at the level of a backup QB (5.7 Y/A and 7 picks!), whilst Kirk is having a renaissance season and leads the league in TD passes, I wouldn't say he's a top 10 QB but he's close to it right now. Their trade value has nothing to do with each other.
-
If Teasley doesn’t think this is the team to go all in with, that’s fine. Sell off the veterans and move forward with a rebuild. God knows we have been overdue for one anyway. The money excuse might be that Teasley doesn't want to push in any more money to 2027 because he has plans to make a lot of moves (we have plenty of FAs to retain) and will need every dollar. And I don't think he would be allowed by the Wilfs to trade away any impact players (he did try to trade Jennings reportedly) at 6-1, they wouldn't let the likes of Van Ginkel/Cashman/Rodgers get moved in the midst of how well the defense is playing. This isn't like when KAM chose not to move Danielle Hunter for a high pick in 2023 when our season was falling off a cliff. I don't think standing pat is necessarily a bad move... there's only so much that can be done to fix a bottom 5 offense mid-season. What happens over the 2027 offseason is when I will start my judging of Teasley.

Mets Claim Twins Reliever Jack Anderson Off Waivers
Danchat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Yeah, I would have held onto him, I believe he still had 2 options? Oh well. -
They could have afforded Greenard's deal (they spent $20M combined on Jennings and Harry post Wave 1 of free agency), they didn't want to give him a 2/$60M extension with $50M guaranteed over the now four years of the deal. He's actually playing really poorly in Philly so getting 2 3rds for him seems to be the right move. We could still see a couple of those levers pulled so they can make a trade or two. There was a report yesterday that a Jennings trade to SF nearly happened this week which would have saved a few million. Yeah... having Kyler sit in the pocket just doesn't work for him. Also, saw a mind-blowing stat this morning: 2 pressures allowed by the entire OL in 35 dropbacks. Somehow, some way Kyler gets sacked 3 times. That's stunningly bad for a QB to have that many clean pockets (at least for the first couple seconds) and not do anything with it. Another strange stat on the season is that Darrisaw has allowed an alarming 5 sacks in 6 games... but has only allowed 7 pressures in total, which is pretty good. For a guy with some escapability, Kyler still takes a lot of sacks.
-
Geno Smith is at least at 1900/12/3 yards/TDs/Ints with the Jets and would fit KOC's system. Kirk is playing shockingly well for the Raiders. KOC just inexplicably chose a QB that didn't fit his system and thought he could get it to work.
-
KOC wanted him out of the building, he wasn't going to develop him. Read - that doesn't justify trading him for a 5th - but Kevin is control of the offense and he gets what he wants. Hopefully that will change soon, but I can get why Teasley executed the move. He'll probably want to draft his own QB next year, though probably not too early. I'm glad JJM is getting a chance to play elsewhere and he doesn't have to sit around on the bench. I have to wonder if his durability will hold up, but so far he's playing like the guy I thought was a mid-1st round prospect. Meanwhile, I feel really good about predicting back in August that we end up with Mac Jones in 2027. Good about being right, that is. Not good about the QB situation.
-
It's funny you say that, we played Detroit on the road Week 8 last year (deja vu) and we did in fact win 27-24 with JJM starting. Not a great game from him statistically and we actually ran the ball, but he had 3 TDs and a perfect throw to Nailor to dagger the game. Goff was much better, but they stupidly fed Montgomery the ball over Gibbs.
-
Kyler Murray was 100% KOC's choice, we know that. KAM was canned and Brez was not overruling Kevin when it came to the QB decision, Kyler was flown in on the first day of free agency and Kevin spent the whole day with him, selling him on signing here. Kevin legitimately thought he could get Kyler to play his system with the added bonus of some scrambles. He tried to cram a square peg into a round hole, and the offense resembles what it did in 2023 when Josh Dobbs was at QB. A few nice throws, a few highlight scrambles, but no consistency, no rhythm, and one of the worst offenses in the league as it's super predictable. And at least before today Kevin was going run-first, he abandoned that today.
-
I agree that signing free agent relievers is risky and should generally be avoided, but is it really worth bailing on the concept entirely because it burned Falvey once? I don't think it's a bad idea to give it a try every once in a while if a reliever is identified as being worth the price.
-
It could end up as a fire sale, we'll see if they move Jonathan Taylor, who is under contract through 2028. Their receiver Josh Downs has asked for a trade too.
-
Indy doesn't have a 1st round pick and they are playing bad football, don't have a franchise QB and a new GM will be taking over by the end of the year. They've only traded rentals so far, both in their 30s.
