2022 NFL season discussion

The problem was bringing in Fangio for that 2 weeks. I think it screwed up the rhythm

Gannon is gone to the Cardinals

The bengals shut down that offense. Your Bills shut down that offense in the 1st game this year. It’s definitely possible. But man did the eagles defense get out schemed in the second half.

My reasoning is this:

With the cap you can not build both sides and not cut corners somewhere.

So an average defense will have to do if your going to keep your $40m QB healthy and be able to score points with the best teams.

You need 5 good/great linemen so 8m each for 2 guards 12m for a center 18m for a LT and 10-12m for a RT

Thats 56m for your O line

2 outside WR's at 15-20m so we will say 35m

1 slot WR at 6-10m

I Star TE 8-16m depending on experience

I dual threat RB 5m

Thats another 53m or so and your almost at half your cap without your QB's 40m

I know you can draft and sign cheap FA's but you need to get lucky

Your at 150m just to field an elite offense now a days of course like I said plug and play a cheaper guy here or there but you get what you pay for

Vic Fangio was there to help the Eagles offense scout the chiefs defense. I think he did a heck of a job.

I get what you’re saying now. The nfl has definitely changed. It’s become you pay a few certain positions all the money (qb, left tackle, wide receiver, pass rushers and cornerbacks) and the rest get peanuts. My counter to what you just explained though is the eagles were paying hurts peanuts and had a stacked defense and offense. They just totally got out schemed by Reid and bienemy when it came to the chiefs offense vs the eagles defense.

As an Eagles fan I was afraid of this the game before. I thought Shanahan was going to out scheme Gannon but he somehow didn’t account for Hassan Reddick (you can’t block him with George kittle. That led to the purdy injury).

Unfortunately for the Eagles multiple starters on defense are free agents. Anyone who gets bradberry next year is getting an absolute stud at corner.

Probably going to be 16-20m for 4 or 5 years for Bradberry.

To compete against the mobile QB's you need your Edges to maintain the pocket your DT's to penetrate up the middle, smaller faster LB's that can cover like Milano for the Bills and CB's that can play press coverage.

The safeties need to be good in coverage and run support.

You are not going to stop these modern offences that have a good QB you just have to let them march between the 20 yard lines then defend the redzone.
