Enough passing. They have a rookie QB with the worst wide receiving corps in the league and they are passing 80% of the time. Meanwhile, they have a top running back and one of the best running games over the last three years sitting mostly unused. When they do run, Marcus Murphy gets almost as many snaps as Shady. This doesn't sound logical to me, but apparently I'm not an offensive genius like Daboll.

Apparently, it's up to Allen to pick up the free blitzers. As if he didn't have enough on his plate as a rookie. Nice offensive system.

Actually, what he said was that more than half of the sacks weren't the offensive line's fault. He didn't say who's fault they were. I.e., how many were due to Allen holding the ball, the RBs not picking up blitzers, the WRs not making blitz adjustments, etc. It actually sounded to me that he thought the biggest issue was Allen not seeing the impending blitz in the defensive alignment and making the adjustments with the WRs as a result.

We had a receptionist once that left for lunch and never came back. To message, note or anything. We got a letter from her about 2 weeks later letting us know that she quit and to forward her last paycheck.

Patience! It takes 5 years for an expansion team like the Bills to make it to the playoffs. And doesn't count the 2 years that the Bills are spending turning into an expansion team in the first place.

I'm glad to read that everything is all going according to plan. ? Strange that McDermott didn't seem to happy about it at the post game press conference, everything going so well and all.

It's impressive that Kerley is praising him when he would probably have not been cut if Davis had simply quit before the game.

That doesn't matter. He gets credit for them anyway because McDermott was here. lol.

Also, Goff didn't start until week 10 and the Rams were a 4-5 team at that point, not a virtual expansion team like the Bills are right now.

It sounds like they are going to get some of that money to Davis back, so there's that. Maybe the Pegulas will throw a monster party with it! Goff didn't start as a rookie. Kelly didn't start as a rookie in the NFL. Nice try. OTOH, look at Mahomes. I know, Andy Reid doesn't know beans...

Sure. That's why all these rookie QBs are starting around the league. Means nothing!!! lol Stupid coaches.

So when evaluating Beane and his department, we give him credit for decisions that McDermott made while Whaley and his staff were there? That would certainly help his record I guess.

Exactly. He will develop bad habits. Looking at the rush, throwing too quickly, not setting his feet, etc. Forget that he might actually get injured if he runs it 8 times per game and gets hit 20 more on passes like today.

Bobby Babich, the former Browns DB coach, was the guy that recommended Poyer, not McDermott. FA evaluation is the GM and scouting departments job. To say that McDermott did it on his own doesn't sound logical or likely to me. But maybe McDermott did it all, who knows.

It will matter if Allen gets destroyed like David Carr because he has a crap team around him, especially that 2018 OL.

Hyde, Poyer and Hauschka were not signed by Beane. So that's a little problematic.

How do you know that Hyde, Poyer and Gaines were McD's guys? They never played for him. Neither did Jordan Matthews.

Or they could have drafted Mahomes last season without trading a thing... just saying.

I'm going to give some of the credit for last season to the name which must not be spoken on TBD: Whaley. He and his team identified, scouted and evaluated all those FAs. I'm sure McDermott made the final calls but don't underestimate the value that Whaley provided to finding good FAs; something that he's always been very good at.

And ideally make a tackle once in a while. He has zero so far this season.

The Browns defense would destroy the Bills O.

That's going to be key.

The impact of trading Dareus and signing Lotulelei to replace him on their salary cap has been tremendous. Well, at least he didn't quit at halftime.

The problem with this opinion is that the team created their own cap problem by cutting guys that were under contract. And any optimism we might feel by having some cap space available next season is tempered by seeing the way they spent their FA money this season: Murphy, Lotulelei, Davis, McCarron, Ivory, Coleman, etc.

? This made me laugh.
