[noshame]

4 and 12 if 4 isn't happening they all should be fired.

 

[Hadenough]

I'm buying 4, 10 and 14. If this team didn't have Parson fall into their lap they would be equal to the rest of the NFC east. I'm not buying into this offense because of the offensive line coach stinks, Dak holds the ball too long when faced with tighter coverage. We have seen Daks best and he is part of the problem.

 

[DonaldM]

We'll be fine. Football season is always a good time.

So share what your answers are. Which ones are you buying and which ones are you not buying?

All completely IMO of course

1 We still have a ton of resources (draft picks and cap space) invested in the OL. They need to be really good, not just good. It will come down to T Smith 77's health (like always) but I think better in the run game and hopefully better in the passing game.
2 Zeke's days of being dominant are over. He wasn't good at all after the first few weeks. To expect an NFL RB to not have some type of injury is wishful thinking. I think he'll be better than the end of last year but not as good as he was at the start. The production generally goes down as the mileage goes up
3. Not a chance. He's the new Sean Lee
4. Buy. For the first time we heard the team make mention to Zeke's contract. Pollard has been so much better than Zeke lately that only an idiot wouldn't see it. Unfortunately our team is run by idiots, so we'll see I guess
5. No chance. Our only issue last year was health and we already have our #2 with an issue. We will be good though. Like our WRs and love them if the kid can play.
6. No idea. I have found it harder and harder to separate Moore from our execution. Dak was too up and down due to injuries and our OC and LG were horrible and our top RB wasn't good either. The best laid plans go to crap if guys can't do their job. But the head scratcher calls need to be fewer also. I'm not sure it's as much diversify as it is the using our talent part, although he does need t stop this reluctance to run outside and be less predictable.
7 & 8. He is just not a smart person. The less involved in the game plan and play calling the better. Let him walk around and motivate and get the guys to want to play and continue to delegate to his coaches. I think that is what he does best.
9. No idea but I hope so. He just will never be an elite pocket passer. Part of what makes him a good NFL QB is running. He needs to do it more.
10. not buying. He might have been the best player in the league when allowed t odd his thing. I just don't know if anyone can be better
11. Buy on the coverage part. His yards given up were over stated. There were a couple of big plays were he was supposed to have deep help and that is when you want your CB taking chances. He does however need t stop focusing only on getting interceptions. Job 1 is not allowing a completion. I think he will have less picks but another really good year.
12. no longer De
13. Buying. I don't think we are done adding players. I think we will add either a LB or a DT and either would help.
14, 15 & 16. Buy because of J. Hurts. If he all of a sudden learns how t throw the ball the Eagles are the most talented, but as of now he is just too big a liability so it's us.
17. Not buying, but that doesn't mean we won't be near the top in turnovers again.

 

[CWR]

Buying:
Defense
Pollard as a dynamic threat
Still a solid group of pass catchers
A capable QB

Selling:
HC, Oline coach, O-coordinator.

The season hinges on our ability to have a credible run game imo. For that to happen I will need to be wrong about the offensive coaches. I believe, unfortunately we are stuck being good, but not good enough.

Number 5 should read Ferguson

 

[CouchCoach]

I never buy anything from them because I do not get the sales pitch directly. I get it second hand here. However, those are some nice buy/sell options.

I do laugh every time I see some member get mad and say they're not buying anymore of Booger's BS. Why did they buy in the first place? Can they not see with their own eyes?

Buying or selling isn't required for me because I am used to the unknowns of not only this team but the NFL. Anyone here see CIN at the Big Dance?

I am OK with an unknown OL, WR corps and even if Kellen Moore has learned anything in the off season. All will be revealed as the season wears on.

The one thing that piques my interest the most is the effect of Cooper being gone and if the pass game struggles, what will Booger do about that? The QB has yet to prove he is a pass game lifter and he may have to show that this year. The other thing is just how much will he use his legs?

I do not think they repeat as the East champs. Curses are real.

Here’s my answers: I’m Buying: #4, #9, #10, #13, 14 and maybe 16. Not buying the rest.
So share what your answers are. Which ones are you buying and which ones are you not buying?

1. Not Buy - I am not ready to buy Tyler Smith will be good in his first year, and I am not buying Steele is better than Collins.
2. I am renting - I can believe Zeke will start the season back to form, but I am not buying that it will last.
3. Not buying. And the Cowboys brass are not buying it either which is why they are giving Tyler Smith critical coaching time at LG and LT. Let's just hope playing him at both positions does not impede his progress at LG.
4. Not buying.
5. Not buying.
6. Not buying. We may see flashes of some creativity, but when the chips are down he reverts to what he has always been. We will still see the crazy play calling inside the 10 yard line. It is who he is.
7. I will buy this one. It may barely be noticeable. But I do think he knows his job is on the line so he is not going to allow Moore to do anything stupid in crucial spots.
8. Not buying.
9. Not buying. I need to see him run to change my mind.
10. Not buying. I will be hard to be as dominant as he was last year. He will be good again but 2021 was special.
11. Not buying. I am not sure I want him to change his style. The INTs are good for the team. We had boring coverage with Byron Jones. It wasn't better than what Diggs brings.
12. Not buying. Not many rookies make an immediate impact. He might make a few plays but it takes time for young guys to develop.
13. Buying.
14. Not buying. I think the Eagles are going to be good this year. They won 7 of their last 10 last year, albeit against weaker competition, but they still have a really good offensive line and running game. And they still have a very strong DL - and they are getting Brandon Graham back.
15. Not buying.
16. Not buying. There will be no wild card in the NFC East this year.
17. Not buying. Hard to repeat what they did last year.

 

[Hardline]

Easy answer.
I'm not buying a damn thing from this team.

 

[Bobhaze]

Added: #18. Sean Payton will be the HC here beginning in 2023. (Buy or not)

NOT BUYING- IMO there’s no way Payton comes to this circus for multiple reasons. Starting with the fact he’s a real NFL head coach who would never agree to be riding in the back seat with JJ driving and Giggles riding shotgun. Payton is from the Parcells school of coaching where the HC is fully in charge of the locker room and players. Jerry will never again surrender that.

And Payton was last with the Cowboys under Parcells, only the second time Booger was hands off the team.

Booger hired McC because he needed a job and he knew he could push him around.

Besides that, going to pay him 10M a year and give up picks? Try building this team without 1st round picks for a couple of years with RG, LT, RB and possibly WR a need in the next couple of years.
