It was for this season. Long term he projects as a starting safety with Joseph.

So we need a LB who can stay out there for 3 downs or another safety- weak safety- hybrid or whatever it is they want to call it.

We'll find that LBer eventually. I actually think our LBer group has been pretty decent this year. The secondary has been where we've been completely let down (with the exception of Carrie and Joseph).
Carrie has turned out to be our most valuable db. Tackles without getting called for penalties too.

Corey James turning out to be a find.

He's a decent player for sure. I also think that Marquel Lee has been solid. Overall, LBer to me isn't the real issue on the team, it's the secondary. With the exception of Karl Joseph, they've got no one.
This loss all on the offense. Also. Bills #77 was holding on almost every down.
If you are looking for a flight to US United are selling return tickets SIN-LAX for USD390. New terminal open at Changi.

So disappoint.
You can also get cheap Tickets to SIN by Scoot. Just book a long way in advance.
Note: generally an American Airlines voucher ticket is cheaper.

Very nice. Best deal I've ever gotten to USA return was about 1200 AUD which was around November/December.
Got a round the world ticket travelling in December and Jan coming up flying Virgin business class for 3k though, doubt I'll ever be able to top that.
I watched a replay of the bills game. I don't know how much of that dismal effort you can blame on the weather.
Could be our last chance for playoffs next week in maybe sunny Miami.

It had nothing to do with the weather. The offense in terms of a schematic point of view, is cooked. Way to easy to diagnose the plays as a fan. Under Musgrave, we were the most diverse offense in the league. Under Downing, we're the least diverse offense in the league.
The bleeding needs to stop ASAP otherwise it's conceivable that Downing is unemployed come the bye week.

Jimmy's probably better than Carr too
-----
Everyone is better than a qb that sees ghosts. If it's temporary because of injuries, or whatever, than awesome. But if it doesn't stop, we've got a $125 million dollar turd on our hands. And before everyone jumps all over this, it's not about arm talent. He's got that. But he's having hallucinations behind the line, and that's VERY concerning for a "franchise" QB. Not sure I've ever seen a QB come back from that.
-----
Like I said in the off-season, and even just before that, but everyone jumped down my throat. He's definitely gone all "David Carr"

Right now, so many players look like trash.
Thing is, a better coaching staff probably gets better play out of these players that are NOW on the fringe of being cut.
When you have a bad year, and/or due to bad coaching, many players on your roster seem expendable.

First, someone has to re-set the clock in Carr's head. Has to scan the whole field.
-----
He wasn't particularly good at that prior.
-----
He has to progress. He's still young. There's always something to learn and work on.
-----
TBH, IMO, I think he's reached his ceiling last year.

I don't think so. Take Brady, he still works on his footwork all the time.
-----
But Brady hit the Super Bowl caliber ceiling early and has maintained that level, a consistency of that standard of play. He might work on various aspects of his technique, mechanics, etc, but his level of play has ALWAYS been at that upper echelon from the get-go.
Carr is wildly inconsistent, not just stats, but the actual play on the field, being a boss on the field, seeing the whole field, etc. He cannot maintain a consistency that he should have by now in his fourth season.

Again, coaching. I'd bring in Jim Fassel to work with him.
-----
That's about all one can do right now. Get some new coaches around him -- HC/OC/QB.
-----
Not even sure HC. But OC & QB for sure.
-----
Look at the wonders Sean McVay (the HC) has done with Goff this year. There's an OC and a QB coach, and they're contributing, but clearly the teaching is starting with McVay, passing down the lessons to the OC and QB coach, what he wants from Goff.....and, much was made of McVay and Goff having a closer relationship thru the off-season.
JDR is more of a hands-off HC. As opposed to McVay who's more hands-on.

The bye is next week, and we will be coming off a primetime game. Primetime games always highlight issues in your team, simply because more people are watching leading to greater media coverage. So if the offense sputters again, it really won't surprise me to see Jack fire Downing.

Lynch is in Florida. He had last week off and the bye is coming. Need to run him til he stops. Might be the only way the OC keeps his job.
