So, what happened after 2014?

So, we had two teams with serious injury issues play and they won. Get over it. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. It's hard to improve on the 2nd highest scoring offense in the entire league. Rubber-stamping, mental roadblocks?! I guess no one can disagree with you. OK. I like McBeane's football ,management lifecycle. No rubber stamping or mental roadblocks here. If you all are mad we didn't win a SB, news flash: NEITHER DID CINCY. So you're comparing us to a non-super bowl winner. What good does that do, if winning it all is the end all? Cincy fans, along with you, should be questioning their GM too. Philly too?!? Quit acting like NE fans in their heydays. You are not entitled to squat. Enjoy the ride or don't.

There's a saying that says: “If you listen to the fans, you’ll find yourself sitting with them”. He has a job to do, and it's not taking input by fans on roster moves.

He can be our mitch trubisky

He should be upset after a playoff loss. You're giving places like this too much credit. If he reads and takes to heart what some people here write, he's an idiot. I don't think he takes this place seriously. I hope he doesn't waste time on TBD. Why should he? He's got better things to do. It's like that old soap opera " As the world turns" on TBD. You can come here once a month and read the same complaints as the day the season ended.

Herb Nightly should switch from Indica to Sativa.

Relax guys, it’s for your veggies. Bills fan asks: “ what are veggies?”

With Edmunds gone, I think you guys found your new whipping boy. Have at it.

Who are you referring to, Davis or Williams? You know what, never mind.

My point was why is anyone comparing the expectations of Davis to Williams? There’s a reason he’s a 4th round pick and made less than $4 million total in 4 yrs. If he was undrafted, my expectations would be even less. Again, a 4th round pick brought in to supplement our #1 wr vs a guy drafted #7 overall to be the #1. That’s what I was talking about.

I wondered why Davis is being compared to Williams myself. Williams was a top 10 pick and signed a 4 year deal worth just under $20 million. He made almost $13 million his rookie season alone. He was drafted to be a #1 wr. Davis is a mid 4th round pick. He was brought in to supplement our #1 wr. He has made less than $4 million total when his 4 year contract expires. IMO, he’s the definition of a #2 wr. Unless a team uses its slot wr or TE as a #2.

All you need is a few buddies with a mask.

I guess you’re saying these players are worth $20m because Only Hill is making $20m and that’s after leaving KC. Kelce made $10m last year. Chase is on a rookie contract still and Higgins made $1.4m last year. Point being it’s almost impossible to PAY two wrs $20m each. Ain’t happening.

I like LB Bumper Pool.

No, he’s going hold on to it until next year.

Josh Allen should try running out of bounds and sliding more when he has the chance to, instead of playing "Tough Guy". Bad o-line play is not an excuse for Josh to try and run over defenders or leap over them when he has a chance to avoid a big hit. Josh is big and strong, but there is always someone bigger and stronger ready to light his ass up. Josh fans here blame the o-line for Josh taking on defenders head on, instead of just getting out of bounds or sliding. Two things can be true. The o-line needs improvement and so does Josh's awareness.

Competitive, sure, but he's not a dumbass. He has to know that not sliding when he can and trying to run over or leap over defenders is going to catch up to him. All coach is saying is we're going to run him less on called runs AND he needs to better protect himself. As far as the oline...I know, I know. That's not an excuse to run into brick walls on your own volition. What's wrong with gaining the first down and running out of bounds berfore you get popped? Wrs do it all the time. He has to know this.

Beane dis mention Gabe’s ankle being an issue. That certainly hurts the ability to separate. Also, Diggs is one of the best route runners in the NFL. That’s why we gave up so much to bring him here from Minny. He’s been the focal point since arriving. Gabe was in his first year as a starter, with a new oc. Thinking an off season of film study and getting the ankle ready will help. I don’t think he was brought in as Diggs’ replacement. He the #2 wr and I feel he performed well overall in that role.

If the question was posed in the interview, I’m sure he would have answered. He stayed on topic. The nerve.

He’s going to bench himself. IR. Love Josh and his toughness, but he’s taking a lot of hits he shouldn’t be taking. Running back mentality is not for franchise quarterbacks. I’m not talking hits because of the oline. Hits he’s taking when he can slide or run out of bounds. Oh, and stop leaping over guys. Edit: LAMP, but I’ve brought this up on a few occasions.

He hasn’t signed the tender yet, so he can’t be traded. Per Scheffler on ESPN. He hasn’t signed the tender yet, so he can’t be traded. Per Scheffler on ESPN just a few minutes ago

I would add Benford to the list. I think he's going to get some work at safety this off season.

Stats wise, Edmunds best year was his rookie year. 121 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 FF, 2 Ints and 12 PD and then made the pro bowl in years 2 and 3. He made an immediate impact IMO. A lot of anti Edmunds folks even admitted last year was a really good year for him too, maybe his best. I would take those results all over again. He's not the reason we haven't won a SB. If he didn't command such a high dollar contract, I think we would have signed him up.

I looked up the top athletes coming out of WSU and to my surprise, Ryan Leaf didn't make the list. 🤣

Too late, Robinhood has it all. Things are going to change.
