What sucks is if/when Gabe move to the Active Roster, it will likely be Shavers who is released. Hopefully back to the PS, but who knows. Coleman will be inactive on game days, but he isn’t getting released.
And I agree on more Moore.
Not that Shavers is all that as a receiver, but he would stick as he's a good blocker and special team demon. If anybody would ride the pine it would be Keon. He is next to useless and gets the lion's share of the snaps.

I'm not panicked, I'm resigned. This is not a Superbowl team. It may not even be a wildcard team. Years of bad contracts and poor drafts have caught up with us. Milano, Bernard and Taron Johnson are washed. Why? We draft undersized, fast LBS that get pounded and injured. Johnson is a DB they make play LB. They never seem to make it to the playoffs when we need them the most. Massive contracts like Beane gave Knox limit our ability to acquire FAs. Missed early picks on D Line and cornerback have hurt. This big contract to Ed Oliver, another undersized (see a pattern?) player for his position limits us and he is once again out. The money we gave FA receivers is ridiculous. None of them are better than a 3 or 4 wideout on other teams. The pass on Worthy for Keon is really aging well. We do have a solid OL and stud RB, something to build on there. And of course Josh, but the years are flying by and we have no championships to show for it.
So no panic, just the realization that not only has the league caught up and passed us, so has the AFCE. The Pats aren't panicking because they win with methodical offense and tough defense -AND- they don't beat themselves. They can run, pass and defend. We can only run. The core of this team is just not good enough. That's not panic, it's just time to flush and rebuild while Josh had some years left. I'd rather rebuild with a new GM and HC. A GM that actually builds around a generational QB and a HC that can maximizes that QB's talent and build a defense with size, speed and grit that can actually stay on the field and not live in the blue tent. I'd rather a regime change, but don't count on it. I just pray we're not in for another few years of washed re-treads at skill positions and a D scheme that OC"s have long figured out.

I am happy to have a good running game. Our pass-first teams eventually got shut down and we couldn't get a first down to finish a game. It's not the run game that's the problem, it's the complete lack of talent at receiver and an OC that can scheme against man coverage. We do not have one receiver that can beat man coverage, not one. Beane like's them big and slow. Load the box and dare one of our receivers to win a one-on-one, they cannot. Josh had 3.5 seconds plus to throw on Sunday, the longest of his career, and couldn't find anyone open time after time. So I do fault McD, but this is mostly on Beane. I think both need to move on.

My thoughts:
1) Relax the rest of the season, this is not a Superbowl team.
2) This is the same exposed team we saw in the two losses before the bye.
3) After this season, yet another season that we waste prime Josh, it's time for McBeane to go. The roster building is flawed and the HC seams to be losing the players. Today's effort was inexcusable.
(4) As for Josh, he is just not himself. I don't know if it is getting married and making big time commercials during the offseason, but I don'tsee his usual swagger. Even on the rare occasion someone is open, he is often off target and hesitant to run. He's also likely dispirited with the lack of receiving talent and Brady's inability to scheme against man coverage.
5) All these injuries cannot be just bad luck. Have we gone a game with a long term loss of someone?

Hope you're watching Beane. Josh has to scramble for 10 seconds before any of our receivers can escape man coverage. It's not everybody eats, it's everybody sucks.

I respectfully disagree with that take—focusing on one play instead of the full body of work from the game misses the bigger picture.
But even if we do isolate that one play against the Chiefs on first down, it wasn’t about receivers failing to get open. It was a well-designed blitz that our All-World QB misread, and the offensive line missed their assignments. That breakdown had everything to do with protection and recognition—not a lack of separation.
Let’s not rewrite the narrative based on one moment. The game is bigger than that.
When it comes to playmakers, I think this is the best offensive line we’ve had—better than last year’s unit. James Cook has emerged as a top-3 running back in the league, and Dalton Kincaid is now playing at a Pro Bowl level, with two other tight ends who can supplement the attack.
On defense, the emergence of Maxwell Hairston could be a game-changer. Cole Bishop, especially over the past two games, has brought a presence we haven’t seen since prime Jordan Poyer. Joey Bosa is playing at an elite level when he’s on, and Deone Walker is flashing signs of something special.
There’s a real chance we’re witnessing the rise of something new and exciting—this team is starting to look stacked with playmakers on both sides of the ball
You're optimistic for sure, and I pray you're spot on. But based on the last 5 seasons I am not as upbeat. It's not just the one play, it's having the playmakers that can make those crucial plays at crucial times. There is nobody elite on our defense. They are solid, some maybe up and coming, but not a guy that can routinely disrupt the elite offenses. Last week, KC was down 3 starters on their Oline, and still the game was in Mahomes hand on the last 2 plays. On offense, we have Josh and Cook as elite. But how many times does Josh have to scramble and still can't find a anyone open? He doesn't have a guy that will be open no matter what. He has a committee of good, but not great pass catchers. Sometimes you need great to be the last team standing. Will this be year be different than the last 5? I sure as Hell pray so, but it feels like I am watching the same movie. And hey, I have followed this team since 1963, so I appreciate these past years more than you know. But I want to see the Bills win the SB before I check out. To quote George Allen, The future is now.

Let's take a breath and look at what the offense is actually doing before we spiral over not getting a WR before the trade deadline.
Here are some facts that might help bring a little levity to the conversation:
Total Yards/Game: 385 – 1st in the NFL
Points/Game: 29.4 – 3rd in the NFL
Rushing Yards/Game: 161.5 – 1st in the NFL
Yards/Play: 6.1 – 3rd in the NFL
Passing Yards/Game: 224 – 14th in the NFL
Yards/Pass Attempt: 8.2 – 4th in the NFL
Yards/Rush: 5.0 – 4th in the NFL
Red Zone TD %: 67.74% – 9th in the NFL
Completion %: 69.9% – 7th in the NFL
Third Down Conversion: 45.65% – 5th in the NFL
These are damn good numbers. This offense is efficient, productive, and balanced. We’re top-tier in yards, points, and play efficiency. The passing game may not be flashy in total yards, but it’s highly efficient—top 5 in yards per attempt and completion percentage.
Could we have added a WR? Sure. But let’s not ignore what’s already working. This team is moving the ball, scoring points, and doing it with balance and precision. And the WR room gets better with Palmer back into the fold and I do think Gabe Davis will help on those scramble drills which seem to be missing this year.
Let’s keep perspective. The season is long, and the offense is already doing more than enough to win games.
It's never the in season numbers I worry about. It's about the one play we need on 4th down against the Chiefs in a AFC championship game, or making a stop when we really need it. It's about having an elite player who will get open when we need to stack some first downs to ice a title game. We're good, but always short on the clutch play, on either offense or defense, that the other team seems to have and we don't. I don't care if we rack up the points during the season. I care that we can close out of championship game. Elite players will get open (Kelce) or make that crucial stop (Chris Jones) to ice a game. During clutch time, we don't have anyone who is un-blockable or a player can't be covered. It keeps us outside looking in. What about this roster makes you think we'll get over that hump this year?

Mentioned this in another thread - but the shape we're in after this season definitely was a major factor in being hesitant to move picks for players.
As usual, we're in rough shape cap wise. While we could come up with more money, it's still only going to go so far with all we have to do and freeing that space would add to the number of bodies we'd have to replace.
We have *TWENTY ONE* players currently on our 53 man roster that we'll have to either re-sign or replace with limited money and just 7 Draft Picks - including 9 starters and key ones like 2/5 of our OL and our best Pass Rusher. The list includes:
Unrestricted Free Agents:
- DE Joey Bosa
- C Connor McGovern
- G David Edwards
- LB Matt Milano- DT Daquan Jones- DE AJ Epenesa
- CB Tre'Davious White- LB Shaq Thompson
- FB Reggie Gilliam
- DT Larry Ogunjobi
-
WR Elijah Moore- QB Mitch Trubisky
- CB Cam Lewis
- S Jordan Poyer- S Damar Hamlin- S Sam Franklin Jr.
- DT Jordan PhillipsRestricted and Exclusive RIghts Free Agents:
- G Alec Anderson
- OT Ryan Van Demark
- CB Ja'Marcus Ingram
And again, that's not taking into account players that we'll most likely move on from to free up space like Taylor Rapp, Curtis Samuel, and Dawson Knox. The number grows to 23 players currently on our 53 with that.
You can say "who cares, let most of those guys walk". But we'd still need to replace them on the 53 with limited cap and just 7 Draft Picks (as we made traded away no one and won't have any comps).
All this to say, we weren't in a position to willy nilly trade away Draft Picks or take on large amounts of money in 2026. Which complicated things.
It's definitely fair to argue Beane shouldn't have put us in this position to where things were this complicated - but it doesn't change the position we're in.
A lot of truth here. Even if you subtract the players I crossed out above, we'd same about $14,500,000 in cap, but take a big hit on dead money. If we fall short this year again, we're going to need younger, faster, cheaper and better players, and look deeper into the roster than what you have here. Beane has some pretty bad contracts to deal with. All the while, the clock is ticking on Josh.
-
Once again we're one special play from one special player away from a championship. Beane makes sure we are good enough to be in the hunt every year, but incapable of getting us over the top, as we waste yet another year of a generational talent at QB. So we save draft capital for another 3rd round undersized LB or another midling receiver. If we fall short again this year, is it not time to say McBeane isn't the leadership we need to finally win this damn thing before our unicorn QB is past his
prime?

Felt like a Buddy Nix trade deadline today. I guess Beane is saving his draft capital for either an undersized LB or big, slow receiver he has his eye on.
-
Mahomes may not feast on our safeties, only because our CBs will be a bus ride off their receivers, giving him 10 yards a pass play. The plan is to exhaust his arm.

We've gone from "everybody eats" to "everybody sucks" pretty quickly. I do wish Beane would get over the Keon bust and trade for a legit threat WR, but there's got to be more to this. DC'S are wise to us, Josh is not being Josh, and Brady has no answers other than hand the ball to Cook or screens to Shakir.

Regardless of who plays at CB, if they start a play in the same zipcode as the receivers they cover, we just may get off the field now and again.

Just checked 😂
“Following the game, Colts coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Richardson suffered an orbital fracture, forcing him to spend Sunday's game in a local hospital. The injury allegedly occurred as a result of a malfunction of the elastic band he had been using. Richardson attached the band to a pole in the locker room, and the pole snapped and made forceful contact with his face”ouch!!!
Bizarre. I think I'd rather say it was a shotgun snap!

I’d fire Beane before McD but yep
If it were to happen, I think both would need to go out together. But let's be serious. Given the tire fire that is the Sabres and Terry won't move on Kevyn in 6 years, McBeane is going nowhere.

The Falcons were a bad style matchup. I knew that going in. The loss, for me, was expected.
The playoffs are the only thing that really matters, but even then these same problems will persist.
Any physical run team will have their way with this defense and there aren't enough difference makers on offense.
Yup, so some on the board hope we make the playoffs and pray nobody runs on us. Seems like a plan.
This D is broken. We have mini-me LBs who can't stay on the field, clueless safeties, average but slow CBs and a DLine that just can't close out the deal. Throw in abysmal tackling and a DC who has the CBs 15 yards off receivers and you have our defense, which cannot stop the run or pass but hopes the other team makes a mistake along the way.

Nope. Absolutely not. You dramatic Nancys. The Ravens at 1-5 are done. No one is saying the Chiefs are done when they were 2-3 and now 3-3. Get a grip.
Chiefs are playing great D now and just beat the Lions. We cannot beat any team with an even or winning record. The Bills are a hot mess of small, slow, average players who can't stay on the field. Right now I would favor the Pats winning the division.

At some level, I think either way, we win. Watching KC lose never gets old. We are not a great match up with Indy given our run D, but maybe Daniel Jones will be Daniel Jones again on the way to tje AFC Championship game.
