With AR we will still win 9 or 10 games. We have some real weapons on offense finally. No way we pick in the top 5. We will sweep the Titans, beat the Jags here, and beat teams like the Pats, Giants, Dolphins, Jets, etc.. That is 9 wins right there alone. If we somehow and go to Houston and win, we could win the division. -
If Gus is fired, Ballard will go out and find another Eberflus/Bradley type of defensive coordinator. Ballard believes in the soft cover defensive philosophy. We'll just end up complaining about the same exact things, just with another name as the defensive coordinator. -

I agree but I differ on Steichen and the offensive coaches. Yes Shane has some clock management issues at times and needs to figure out when to simply punt on 4th down or to take the points (the latter in which he has gotten better) but overall he has shown growth as a first time hc who is now only in year two. As a fairly young offensive mind Shane is one of a handful of coaches in the league like a McVay or Shanahan that is capable of getting a team to a SB based on HIS offense and playcalling like he did in Philly. Who by the way hasn’t looked anywhere near the same on offense (Jalen Hurts either a MVP runner-up under Steichen) since Shane departed for the Colts. Justin Herbert had maybe his best season winning ROY under Steichen. What Shane did with the offense last season should be applauded. Scoring was up and under Shane AR showed plenty of promise early as a dual threat qb before his season ending injury which in turn led to Shane having to switch the offense to accommodate Minshew at qb and Moss at rb due to JT's holdout. At one point Moss was leading the league in rushing after showing little in Buffalo and we all knew Minshew's shakey play prior to the Colts but guess what? Both had CAREER years. Both left in the offseason for more money and BOTH have been benched from the starting lineup by their new teams!!!! Flacco has stated that Shane is a brilliant mind that knows how to manipulate defenses and cater to one's strengths. The problem is that Shane doesn't have the luxury of a complete team. This defense is AWFUL. The offense right now is ranked right outside the top ten in almost every major category DESPITE the fact that they are ranked dead last in time of possession because this putrid defense can't make stops or get off the field on a regular. As a matter of fact we avg more points than the Chiefs and they're undefeated!! Ballard is the problem and has been for awhile as the architect of this meh built team that continues to falter. -
1. They are trying to win games. 2. They are also invested in AR and his progress. Ballard's career is tied to AR. 3. If it's not Gus, Ballard will go out and find another soft cover-2, cover-3 defensive coordinator. This is Ballard's vision for his ideal defense. We know this because he's hired 2 defensive coordinators that run a soft, zone defense. He drafts specifically for this defense.
