Anxious, overachieving, or too much caffeine? 🤔

Prior to the draft I was screaming that I did not want us to draft Coleman. Xavier Legette was my guy. He isn't lighting the world on fire right now either, but that is who I wanted. The Panthers trade with us and take Legette. The next day we take Coleman. I was pretty ticked off about it. Then we went through the rest of that draft and didn't take another WR. I was even more ticked off about that when we repeatedly passed on Franklin. Still, Keon showed some flashes last year. I started to get some hope that I was wrong, and he would at least be a Gabe Davis type of contributor. The Tennessee and Seattle games were good performances. Then he got cheap-shotted by Poyer and hasn't been the same since. He had the big game against Baltimore and he hasn't had more than 4 catches, which was only once, or more than 46 yards in a game since. He's averaged 3 catches and 26 yards a game since week one. Pretty underwhelming to say the least. Then, on top of that, we've all seen the miscues in his routes running, how him and Josh just are not on the same page. Maybe this will be a wake up call for him. Maybe it won't. Maybe they will ship him out in the offseason for a 5th or 6th. We shall see.

Should have buried Naked LSD Feces Pit Hero in the EZ of new stadium Hoffa-style - that would have surely satisfied the gods. Missed opportunity- Beane asleep at the wheel

Your observation captures what I see as wrong with Brady's offense. Rather than scheme his receivers open, he relies on blockers to spring them free, hence the incessant wide receiver screens and stop routes. One might say his options are limited by the abilities of his players, but as others have pointed out, at least two of the new additions, Moore and Samuel, have had far more success elsewhere. You could arguably add Coleman to that list: maybe he's not a bust but a talented player who is being misused. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Bills receivers have started grumbling behind the scenes. I'll put my point in question form: Have we seen any innovations from Brady in the passing game during his tenure as offensive coordinator? Any surprises, wow moments, or even play calls that run against his tendencies? I'm not talking about cute plays my niece could devise, like throwing to Allen or handing off to Knox. I'm talking about pass-play calling that goes beyond generic and head-slappingly predictable. For example, how about play action on fourth and short instead of always a tush-push? Or an occasional fade or high jump ball to Coleman instead of constant diet of back-shoulder sideline throws? Or Cook on a go route (or any other route on third down, when Brady takes him, one of the most talented players in the NFL, off the field)? Or trying different concepts now and then, like flooding a zone or the no-huddle for an entire series? I've been as critical as anyone about the lack of receiver talent on this team, but I'm starting to wonder if we simply have in Brady a coordinator who is over his head, much like Babich. I admit I'm speaking above my expertise (not hard to do), so If I'm being unfair or just plain wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Yeah, I think a lot of people consider the Beatles one of the few bands to quit at the right time. Longevity is a strange beast in rock/pop. These artists earn a lot of money, but it doesn’t seem to increase GOAT status. The Stones are a good example, I really enjoy some of their recent albums, but the average fan probably couldn’t name a song less than 35 years old, at least. I’m more of bluesy rock fan as well, but I can’t help but believe you’re going to hear songs like Yesterday and In My Life years from now more than anything else from the rock era.

The same thing they saw from Devin Funchess when they drafted him in the top of the second round. A big slow.

It’s easy to see in retrospect that this move was foreshadowed last year after Keon got hurt. Up until then, he seemed to be coming along nicely for a rookie. After that injury, he’s been complete ass. We also had both McD and Beane make comments about his effort and professionalism coming back from that injury. To me it seems like an immaturity issue for Keon. I think he has the skills to play in the NFL but when you combine that with a lack of effort and a lack of professionalism, he’s a bust. You could also add in that Brady sucks at scheming receivers open and that isn’t doing Keon any favors, but the guy is velcroed to every DB that covers him yet doesn’t use his body to box out DBs and make catches. I think he’s off the team next year, but I could see a scenario where he sits for a few games, wakes the F up and starts producing with another chance. That would take a complete 180 in his mental make up though. IDK if he has it in him. I think it’s the right move. We needed to do something drastic because what we had wasn’t working and was only getting worse. It will be interesting to see if the presence of Gabe is able to open up the middle of the field for Josh and keep that over the top safety from coming down into the intermediate area like they do every time Keon is 1 on 1 on the outside.

Daboll's available! 😁 * It would be interesting to see how Rageaholics Anonymous would play at the college level. Woody Hayes II? 🤔

I think this is gonna be a tough one. Tampa has won a bunch of their games late in comeback mode. If we get a lead it's crucial the Bills step on their necks. Side note: today is the perfect day to put the tush push on the shelf. Vita Vea blows that plays up a good amount of the time. Will be interesting to see what Gabe has left and if they incorporate Hardman's speed at all. I'm expecting Samuel to join Coleman on the inactive list today. I think barring injury Samuel has seen his last active game in Buffalo.

Yes sorry you are missing my point. Beane has made some fine picks. And the job he had isn’t the easiest - coming to a team just out of a 17 year old draught, finding a QB that became elite but took most of his rookie contract to get there. He has had more challenges than other GMs for recent superbowl teams. He is not a terrible GM. As I have said before, I don’t care about where we are drafting. Sure he is getting above average value, but many of those GMs that are doing worse than him no longer have a job. I am measuring him against the stalwart GMs whose results have led to an extended tenure like his. They have either drafted, traded or signed their way (often times all three) to enough elite talent on rosters to get to the Super Bowl. Beane’s cumulative has not been good enough. This has devolved into a conversation of is Beane a good drafted or not. I think this benching of Keon is as much due to the position they put Keon in (being the guy expected to replace Diggs because they haven’t done anything else significant to do so) as it is Keons ability and effort. Then find another way to get them - trade picks for starters or sign in free agency if it is soooo impossible. Somehow others teams have done it. He did it once with Diggs and that was his best move behind drafting Allen. If you can’t scout yourself into great talent, then trade for it. But that would require being better with your salary cap to be able to acquire players with larger contracts. Something we have struggled with since Allen’s rookie contract has ended.

This podcast automatically played after the Joe Marino podcast I listen to regularly, and I have to say that I really enjoy the mix of Marino,Ostroski, and White … Jeremy is far more palatable when teamed with truly knowledgeable co hosts Ugh. I’m SO disappointed in this stiff. I thought for sure he’d end up being a productive WR2 here and his career here has been 🤮

Bills 34 Bucs 27

A “good solid dude” should mean absolutely nothing in a results based profession.

With regard to OC, I suspect Josh Allen is going to run the show, not McDermott or Beane. He’s far more valuable than either of them, and at this point I believe they can’t really do anything without Allen’s say-so.

What are we gonna trade Keon for? A sack of potatos?

This is why I don’t overreact to the bills losing last week. Someone has to lose the Denver KC game, and that will help the bills

Just saw the replay from like five different angles and it was beautiful from every one of them. Tage hadn't shown up nearly enough in the scoring sheets til tonight. Hope this can flip the switch for him.

Feel like this has nothing to do with baseball and more to do with Sabres vs Leaf fans.

Very possible. The Browns seem to catch the Ravens napping on them once a year.

Wow, don't tell the Eagles or Chiefs this because they seem to be doing ok.

It's almost like our GM sucks or something....

It’s been a while since we’ve made a sacrifice to the pit. Maybe this is why we are cursed

I'd like someone to take a break from their tailgate this AM and hop the fence for the new stadium and report the wind conditions inside - just how confused do the winds get. Bonus if you take a porta-potty feces bath prior
