yet refused to trade for a proven one this year. Double-faced Bean.

is there luck involved, for sure. But the amount of luck is vastly overstated by many (not saying you are), otherwise, you wouldn't have multiple time winners, unless you think KC, NE, and others are routinely "lucky." You have to have a solid foundation and then have a window open for you. The Bills lack that solid foundation and have for years with McD and Bean. Poor play calling at inopportune times, meltdowns, and poor roster management. The window is huge this year for the Bills, and Bean and McD whittled it away.

everyone was saying how they would be down for a long time because of the lack of picks. All they did was win a SB, make great picks, and come back. Meanwhile, Bean hordes picks in a bad draft (2026). a testament to our genius GM and defensive minded HC.

is this real? If so it's rediculous and why we miss out on guys like Pickens. If our "culture" and "process" are so great, it should be able to handle a Pickens. Or is McD just full of it/himself.

we've played teams missing their starting tackles and couldn't generate pressure. Perhaps our backups will be up to the task?

I’d send a first for him. fair points, but when Lamb was hurt Pickens was still lightening it up. Although, Brady would have to use him correctly.

Don’t know who originally bumped this but loving it….

Yeah, living in PGH I can say this is the first I've heard of it. Great list of things to do, btw. For those interested in history/subs, there is a WW2 era sub docked at the Science Center that you can tour (It's right by the stadium). Also, a lot of interesting mid 1700's history here and the French and Indian War history (including the Point). Pitt also plays Miami on Saturday, so a good chance to root against Miami!

I love the dedication to the delusion. But who is Andre Reed in this WR room?

I like the lotto ticket mentality, but not for WR1. For 3 or 4, sure. But not 1 and 2.

i have no idea how polymarket works, but sounds interesting.

Bean: “why have a WR 1 when you can have 14 WR 4’s.” I guess this dart throw is better than nothing at this point.

not if Bean is picking!

this is a great exercise. Here are my (hopes) below: Offense QB: Josh RB: Cook & Davis WR1: ? Pickens or draft pick. Slot: Shakir WR2: Palmer/draft pick WR3:Palmer/draft pick WR4: Shavers TE1: Kincaid TE2: Hawes (Knox cut for cap) Offensive Line: Returns in full unless they make moves for cap (if we get Pickens, I could see McGovern gone and new C). Defense LDE: Groot DT: Oliver DT: Walker RDE: ? (crickets) Bosa, Franklin-Meyers (Den FA) WB: Bernard (this does not mean they do not draft or bring in a FA but with him being captain I can't see him not starting at this moment) MLB: ? 1st round pick if we sign a FA receiver. No clue otherwise. SLB: ? (Maybe Dorian Williams but I think they know they need a lot of a talent added even with him in the fold) Can Shaq Thompson play here and then another rookie? CB1: Benford CB2: Hairston NCB: ? (Taron has been awful and can save money in cap cut, I can see them using Cam Lewis here as spot starter if needed) SS: ? Poyer to start, perhaps Hancock. Prob draft/FA another. FS: Bishop I think OT is a sneaky need. Between what you stated and Dawkins looking slow and getting obliterated against top DEs (and generally not caring), I think we need to draft a OT high or get one in FA. Here is a Bleacher Report updated FA list for anyone that wants to use in it recreating the roster. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25275549-2026-nfl-free-agency-rankings-after-trade-deadline

Funny forgot I started this thread. But now Iust here to say told ya so😜

I like the OC from Florida to replace McGovern. Get a center on rookie deal. Also no more paying mid tier guys. Get enough game changers and roll with low paid JAGs or rookies elsewhere.

Bean and McD go is the only silver lining. Talentless team that shows up unprepared.

perhaps Pegs should have listened 😜 (although totally ridiculous for a OC to do that). But I also hear Daboll is a top choice at PSU. Would be a great spot for him.

I’m done with the McExcuses. Injuries, Thu night games, etc. He stinks. Team looked disinterested like it did against Dolphins and Atlanta. That’s on the HC. Lack of talent on Bean.

yeah, you’re right it is nice to get something. But you can almost always get something for a 1st round pick on rookie deal. This is another bean blunder. And why we have 0 elite talent outside of Allen and Cook. Thus why we loose in the playoffs every year.

100% this. If the season will be salvaged, a message needs to be sent that Dawkins 1/2 assed effort last night is not tolerable. The Cowboys benched PIckens and Lamb for the first drive. I'd go even further. What Dawkins did (or didn't do) yesterday was more inexcusable than Coleman missing a meeting. You're supposed to be a team leader and you get your butt kicked every play, then false start, then joking around at the end of the game, then blame Davis. I exempt him. He kept trying to play even though injured, becoming a massive liability. One of the coaches should have subbed him out before they (eventually) did. This coaching staff is a total joke. Terrible and soft team culture, no game day IQ, etc.

the HC is a major reason why this stupid culture persists. I'd trade Dawkins this offseason. Get a OT who gives a shi* about winning here. in fact, I'd even try to trade him to the Browns since he is fine with loosing.

This is a nice reworking and new FO. In terms of players, see notes in bold Might be able to trade McD to the Giants or someone for a 1st. It sounds crazy to Bills fans, but I think the Bears were offering a 1st for Tomlin. Then sell Pegs on the upside performance wise of a new HC and a 1st, as well as the excitement it would bring for a new stadium. It's funny because in Pittsburgh people are over Tomlin and his early playoff exits. Wonder if we could just trade McD for Tomlin. Tomlin would also hire a real OC.

I never said he has to leave us. McD and Bean need to go.

imagine having JSN and Pickens!
