Defense is the biggest disappointment in 2024...

That is why I hope we lose out I don't think the Krafts stick with Mayo if we don't win a couple of more games. That's the gauge Five or Six games if we lose out we should be First in line for Ben Johnson - Kliff K or Bobby Slowik. That said I don't see too many wins on the remaining schedule unless our WR's play light out: not holding my breath.
Another thing of note. Andy Reid hired Brad Childress at OC/assistant coach when he took the KC job. Ben McAdoo is supposed to be assistant coach to mayo he hasn't spoken one word this season.. as bad as we may Want to move on mayo he's here next season brother.. I believe next season is when the clock starts ticking on mayo. I see Drake balling out and the defense doing what is has all season.. Tua will be tuning up and trying new plays with the defense Sunday.

Yeah Mayo will have a full season under his belt so any grace period he has now expires. He's made a lot of mistakes but I hope he's learning from them.
 
@archstanton543: Black Monday 2025 could be one of the Richest for Experienced Coordinators. I would take any of those Three Guys over Mayo... Ben Johnson - Kliff K or Bobby Slowik. I would have Mike Vrabel as a wild card too we know him.
 
Amazing to see a regression even from last season's weak defense. That's a low bar and they went under it.

To be fair injuries hurt a lot.
I think the safety play has been atrocious.. the pass rush is non existence. We aren't the only team dealing with injury.. Buffalo lost thier best LB in Milano and has no names all over thier defense and they are top 10 in the NFL.

I didn't expect a regression from Dugger. That's a disappointment.

Yes.. he needs to get it all out his system becuase I believe mayo, convinngton and AVP are all on the clock starting September 2025.

This year's draft once past Maye is the most disappointing to me.
I would add this year's FA signings to the list of serious disappointments. With the exception of Maye, Wolf had one of the Pats worse GM performances ever. People would scream that BB was a lousy GM, and Wolf was even worse.
 
Yes it does. That's why the coach who is .426 post Brady, who hired two bozos who were his buddies to run his offense and who "led" his team to 4-13 last season is no longer here. Now go ahead and defend the wall! lmao

Mayo of course hasn't proven he is or isn't the guy but I think we'll know soon. I'm cheering for him.

No it's just Bill who is well below .500 without Brady and hired two incompetent buddies who failed at offense everywhere and cratered his team as a result Nobody else.

Keep defending the wall though it's comical!

Thing is brother.. schefter reported he expects there to be 7 or more job openings... the GOAT is going to take one of course...

Really doubt Bill's getting hired anywhere. Why would a team hire a 74 year old who has done nothing as a HC without the GOAT QB, who is set in his ways and whose decisions put his old team in a giant hole which they're trying to dig out of now?

Can't see it at his age.
 
Mayo was LB's Coach and wasn't a good one: got to wonder how he vaulted to HC without no Coordinators experience.
How you ask?
He nicknamed Kraft's junk "Thunder" and shivved BB while navigating the back stairs at Gillette

To me the pass rush is the biggest issue. If we at least address that part of it and become a force up front that would mask alot of other weaknesses. Should be the major point of emphasis this offseason with OL/wr/cb

Somebody will hire him. And then realize that hiring a 74 year old who has done nothing without the GOAT QB was a mistake.

Good point brother!!! He's got a great gig anyway with the media.. why would he want to go back into the grind of NFL coaching again at 74. He can just enjoy his massages on Nantucket with his happy ending...

Agreed. As you saw me post look at the bills. Try and name 1 all pro on thier defense. They did a total revamping on defense and they amongst the top half of the league on all defensive categories. I've accepted that coaching is failing the defense. The Rams game made it so apparent. But your right pass rush is huge problem!

You may be right. I just don't see the upside. He's old and set in his ways, he won't put more butts in seats, and based on what happened the last few years in NE I highly doubt it will end well for him elsewhere. Just damaging his legacy.

If he wants to become a DC again or take an Ernie Adams type of role especially for defense then maybe there's some value there but if he really wanted to do all that I'm sure it would be here.
