    If I was Pegula I would put strict limitations on McD’s role in drafting players & signing free agents. I will give McD a pass on his decision not to draft Mahomes (which Pegula wanted to do). But draft decisions since then reflect a defensive minded bent, and have negatively impacted Alllen’s career. In an era where you can get a quality RB anywhere, we used (wasted)  two third round picks and one second round pick on running backs, two of whom no longer play for Bills. Imagine if those three picks had been used on wide receivers. It’s a good bet that at least one of those WRs would have developed into that field stretching quality threat that Allen so desperately needs. Bills O faced man to man coverages more than any other team in the league - our WRs can’t separate consistently.

     

    Then there’s the recent draft where TWO defensive ends were taken in rounds 1 and 2. Huge free agent signing -Miller - defense. And DB Elam with a round one pick. So running backs (to ensure a strong ground game) and multiple picks and signings of defensive assets. A defensive coach’s dream!! But that’s not NFL 2024. Even with all these assets being devoted to defense, it’s been the defense which has repeatedly failed in the playoffs. Stop wasting Allen’s career, give him the weapons he needs and deserves, and let’s go outscore everybody. Step one, keep McD’s role in talent acquisition to a bare minimum. He has earned that

    Boogie Basham 2nd Rd pick in the trash. Don't forget to add Cody Ford he was a waste of a couple of pks because they traded up for him and Elam as well. So not only are they drafting busts but there trading up for said busts which makes it even worse. I mean there trading up which means they have convection that these players are good. That's just awful not only does he need to be neutered but fired as well and he can take his puppet side kick Beany with him

    I am not missing anything. Kyle is a great offensive mind. He might be the best offensive schemer of all time. But he has blown double digit leads in three Superbowls now with baffling play calling and is without doubt benefitting from being in the weaker conference. He is a good coach who hasn't yet found a way to win a Lombardi. So is Sean McDermott.

    There not the same not at all. Kyle has actually beaten really good teams in the playoffs unlike McClappy. Stop trying to paint them with the same brush. I don't care what conference there in. Didn't Cinny go into KC and beat them? Didn't The DC Lou Amurilo shut the Chiefs down in the 2nd half and overtime of that game? Do u believe Cinny is some juggernaut defense that's more talented then the Bills? What makes u think the Bills would've beaten the Rams or even Detroit this yr? Why because Mcd is a frontrunner that's had the fortune of beating nobody's and has beens in his time here in the playoffs . Lamar Jackson was Mcd shinning moment as a Bills coach to bad he shares that moment with other teams like Tennessee or the Chargers because they beat Lamar in the playoffs as well.

    EXACTLY right!

     

    Some Bills fans here wanted the hurry up TD @ 2:40 & 2:00! As though, Pat Mahomes isn’t on the other sideline with 2 TOs. How ***** brain dead does anyone, including the HC have to be to fail to comprehend that end of game strategy? And you know your FG stiff Kicker has been pooching it at a 25% rate in the Playoffs! For him alone,you need to get closer, in case you don’t get the last minute TD.

     

    No. No. No.

     

    I saying to my friends once we got to the 2 min warning that we should be in 4 down territory because we can't trust Bass! Mcd wants to keep playing he always coaches to extend the game or basically extend his demise. That's what loser coaches do. 

     

    If Mcd had the balls to tell Brady and his offense that were going for the win and we're in 4 down territory can u imagine the confidence that instills in your team The confidence that instills in your OC to use his entire playbook? But no Mcd wants it his way which is the loser way.

    Fair point about the QB but at the same time will he bring McCaffrey, Bosa, Samuel, Kittle, and many other blue chip players with him?   Their roster is better than the Bills outside of QB IMO.   Also my opinion:  Neither will be moving on so its a mute point but I will say if Shanahan was available I would consider it, just dont see it happening.  There is only one thing for this team to accomplish and whoever comes here will be "fired" by many in the fan base unless they accomplish that thing.  

    I don't think he'll be available as well but while we're discussing it. I wouldn't mind seeing what Shanny can do with Diggs, Skakir, Kincaid as well as Knox and Cook . Ntm Josh Fn Allen !.  Shanny has to take some credit for those weapons that the 49ers have because he was there when they basically added all those talents. So he would definitely add some more firepower to ours.

    Of course I realise that. Our problem is largely we can't get past Mahomes. Kyle Shanahan has the same problem just two rounds later. 

    Your missing the point he doesn't have a Josh Allen. Man it's basically a miracle what he's done with Purdy not many coaches can pull that off.

  5. Gunner do u realize the Bills last 3 wins in the playoffs were against Rudolph, Thompson and Mac Jones? Mof who has Mcd beaten ? Rivers playing in last game which btw we almost lost that game and Lamar the regular season Champ of QBs ? Mcd ain't promised nothing in any conference when he struggles to beat the Thompson's and Old man Rivers of the world.

    I’m not sure he will make it that far but wr class is deep so who knows. If he checks out as someone that can fit in our locker room and culture, he would be a tremendous talent to add. I like him a lot because he appears ready to play and could make an immediate impact which would be worth a 2nd in my mind, especially since it would be a late second round pick. 

    I wouldn't take him in the 2nd but do like him as a player and he very well can be a 3rd Rd pk. Like u said this yrs class is loaded. Even last yr class there was still good Wrs in the 3rd like Tank Dell.

    Swap the two teams divisions and leave everything else untouched the Bills have been to multiple Superbowls and the 9ers haven't made any.

    Maybe maybe not. What's been proven is Kyle has taken 2 average at best QBs to the Superbowl. U can't play the what if game with that. Kyle is too me a heck of a lot better coach then Mcd is or ever will be.

    Sign me up for Jermaine Burton. He looks like a DJ Moore clone and that is good enough for me. Just not sure if he is a complete head case or not with all the teams he has bounced around on but he looks to be a plug and play wr that could make an immediate impact for us next year and you might be able to land him in the second round. 

    Wouldn't mind him in the 3rd or 4th rd

    Listen man, if they cut ties with McDermott I’d like to say no to Shanny personally. If you’re going with a guy because of the success they’ve had in this league you go after the dark emperor if his year off makes him want to return to the league…

     

    I think Kyle is a good coach but that team is in a huge hole and lacking resources because of his requests to Lynch for acquisitions. They built a team for the past 3 years after their SB failure and never managed to get back until now. 2/3 years from now if the wheels start coming off and they can’t retain key players then is when Kyle Shannahan becomes available. 
     

    To build a perennial contender, or dynasty in some cases, you keep your best assets of the future which is draft picks while trying not to splash of every shiny toy that is made available. 

    I'll take the Dark Emperor or Shanny Jr. We know Belichek has the formula for winning titles and he'll have his franchise QB in Josh . Shanny Jr would also be amazing considering he's never had a QB in the realm of Josh Allen and it would be crazy to see what he can cook up with v this offense. Either one would be a massive upgrade over McClappy!

    Lets fire the guy that does not get it done for the guy that does not get it done.

    At least the other guy that doesn't get it done doesn't have a all world QB and has gone to 2 Superbowls without one.

    I know he doesn’t. That was the joking jest regarding someone’s other topic about cutting ties with Tre.

     

    Burks is going into year three and is as pedestrian as they come in the NFL. He even got demoted from a starting role. Injuries may have played a part but They tried feeding him the ball and it didn’t work in year 1. The QB situation isn’t ideal there but there’s been plenty of mediocre talent who’s succeeded with just as bad or worse under center throwing them the ball over the course of the years in this league.  Elam has had some value to this team in the limited times he’s seen the field if you don’t see that then that’s ok. However little it may be, it’s there. But if you’re point is he’s this trash player here why would another team trade a player you believe has all this potential in Burks, for a chance to “showcase” a CB???
     

    Why not just get your own receiver, be it a day one or two guy in the draft if you aren’t able to pick someone who’s been more productive in the league for several years via FA to fill the role you’re expecting Burks to be put into…?

     

    If you’re trading Elam for anything, go do it for a defensive lineman or a DB that fits into the system you’re saying he doesn’t…

    It's not bad idea to see what other players are available for trade for other positions the Bills need. As far as Burks is concerned trading for him won't be the last move they make at Wr. I still would draft one high. How were gonna to use him really depends on him and how he fits in the offense. What we do know is he's made some big plays on the NFL level and whatever glimpses Elam has shown Burks has as well. Burks was heading in the right direction when Tennessee started opening up the offense but he was derailed in his best game of his young career via injury. That game vs the Packers he already had over 100yds in the 3rd quarter. Maybe a change of scenery or schemes will help both Elam and Burks because obviously it's not working were there at.

    I think McD has grown a bit, he’s much more aggressive than he used to be. The early McD would never go for it from his own side of the field. This version has a better feel for the game. With that said, the fake punt was bad, especially with a non-RB rushing the ball. Funny enough, the execution of the play was worse than the design, considering it was an advantageous look to run against. Credit Chenal (or was it Tranquill?) for blowing up two blockers. The main problem I see with McD is that he’s slow to learn, he’s never ahead of situational moments unless they’ve happened before and that’s hurting the team.

    It's not just about being aggressive it's about having a feel for situational football. Coming out of that 2 min warning vs KC knowing they have a couple timeouts and we're at the 26yd line u have to run the ball . Josh Allen was running at will I don't think he had a run the whole game for less then 5yds and Ty Johnson was also running it really well so instead of throwing the ball to the endzone its on Mcd to use that 2 min warning to make sure his OC knows what needs to be done to finish this game. Which is kill clock kill the timeouts and score a TD by doing that we win the game and give the ball bk to Mahomes with around 30/40 seconds left or less with no timeouts. Obviously the next 2 plays Allen goes to the endzone as if he only had 15 secs left in the game. That's situational football and that's something Mcd has proven over and over again that he lacks a feel for.

    I hope we all like watching grass grow and paint dry.

     

    When is it going to be time to move on from this coach? I appreciate who he is, and what his MO is, but things are not pointing towards a Super Bowl victory with him at the helm. 
     

    I could be mistaken, but I believe that McDermott’s biggest (and only?) adjustment to his conservative nature is calling a more aggressive game in the recent playoff loss to the Chiefs. I didn’t see it, but okay. That’s a painfully slow learning curve. At this pace, he may figure out how to actually call a WINNING game on Super Bowl Sunday sometime in the 2040s. 
     

    How many more super quarterbacks and excellent HCs will come along during that time to put McDermott down every year…
     

    It is not happening with McDermott. He ended the drought, he got this franchise to a very consistent winning tier. But there are obvious limitations that he’ll most likely never overcome. 
     

    It’s very very difficult to win a Super Bowl. A lot of things must align. You can’t have a head coach that is a liability when/if you ever get the chances to bring it all home. Every step of the way with McDermott he is always one or multiple steps behind what it takes to punch through. The longer he is here, the longer we wait (too patiently imo) for the trophy. 

    This was the perfect off-season to let him and Beane go instead we're going to trust them to rebuild something they couldn't fix to begin with. What I mean by that is the Dline these guys used massive amounts of resources to build the Dline for the majority of the time they were here we spent the most cap space at that position ntm many high picks in the draft. I lost all faith in McBeane from the way Mcd coaches in the playoffs to his schemes to the way Beane drafts it's been a disappointment. 

     

    The best off-season we had while Mcd was here was in 2017 and we all know that was Whaley's scouting staff and personal department that lead that off-season even if Mcd made the calls they scouted those guys . We've been living off that off-season ever since.  I don't believe Pegs has what it takes as a owner to make the critical move to get these guys out that having been riding Josh Allen like a prized horse . Hopefully he figures this out next season.

    Easy pass for me.  Burks has a 7 percent drop rate and 53% catch rate when targeted - no bueno!   Btw both Titans and Bills ran ball on 47% of plays in 2023.  Shakir - same draft - has same number of catches (49) and 3 TDs vs Burks' 1 TD.  

     

    Plus there is this.  https://jetsxfactor.com/2022/03/07/ny-jets-draft-treylon-burks-combine-results/

     

    His brutal 3 cone drill performance pointed to an inability to separate and is a huge predictor of failure in NFL.  Coupled with a poor vertical it emphasizes his lack of explosiveness. 

    I didn't know Burks played with Josh Allen. Btw not everything is about the underwear Olympics. Burks had a 70yd play this yr and in his rookie season I see a few big plays from him as well in 22 one game in particular was against the Packers where he had 111yds on 7 catches before getting injured on huge play in 3rd quarter he was also facing Jaire Alexander and Douglas at the corner spot that day.

    The more I read about this "anchoring" technique to heal a torn achilles... no.

     

    Tre might actually be participating fully in the minicamp in a couple months.

     

    I think we restructure his deal, which would be smart, but if we get a fully healthy Tre White by minicamp, maybe McDermott and Babbich can transition Benford or Douglas to Safety. 

    So u want to wait in see if this new technique will work for Tre while the team is over the cap by 45 mil ?  Then if he's good move another corner that's just fine at there position to safety I don't think that's logical its time to move on and use the cap savings on a real safety.

    No way man. Burks isn’t it. They willingly traded AJ Brown believing this guy would replace him. He hasn’t. He hasn’t even performed as a #2 on that team…

     

    Theres better options you can pick up on the FA market this year whilst keeping a CB IMO. With Taron picking up nicks along the year, Benford being injured and Douglas having some scares why not hang on to a guy who’s shown you flashes of promise when he’s played in that secondary? 
     

     


    Plus, what if they have the guts to trade Tre? 

    Tre doesn't have any trade value coming off an Achilles injury. He should be released were probably going to have another Von situation where Tre just doesn't have it anymore. 

     

    When it comes to a Burks for Elam deal.  It's about finding a way out and fresh start for both these young players . Burks has shown some potential at times but has had some bad luck with injuries and horrible QB play he also played in a heavy running offense. I'm not saying if we trade for Burks we're done at Wr I still think we should draft one high . 

     

    Elam has not cought on with this defense in 2yrs what makes u think he will in his 3rd? He's just not a fit for Mcd defense he never was really. It's time to find a team for him that plays the type of defense that his talents can be showcased. 

     

  16. 41 minutes ago, GunnerBill said:

    As hypotheticak trade ideas go it isn't the worst one. Dennard Wilson has just been hired as their DC. I don't know much about him but on the face of where he has been I imagine he will want to run some more man principles so Elam might be an interesting buy low option. Burks has been hurt a ton, I'd be interested to know where there patience with him is at. Don't think the current GM picked him either which always makes it easier to get a guy out of somewhere.

     

     

    If it ain't this deal we need to find a deal for him somewhere especially if we're running the same defense. He's just not a zone corner

    It's right there in the title. The man we basically got in return for Patrick Mahomes has basically been nowhere for this team since 2021. He's due to make a ton of money in 2024 and judging by his "comeback" in 2022, it seems absolutely insane that they are gonna pay him all that money next season to fearfully rehab through November and then play like a 5th rate CB when he comes back.

     

    We also have two starting CB. Benford and Douglas.

     

    Cut Tre White's ass as soon as we can. Either that or he needs to accept a shitload less money, cuz otherwise we will just be showing that this team is not serious about winning a Super Bowl.

    Do we also have the guts to move on from Poyer, Morse & DaQuan. The Bills need to move on from these older vets.

     

    Morse - still a good player but he's 1 head injury away from missing extensive time he's also north of 30 and saves 8+ mil on the cap. Plus we already have his replacement in house with Bates. Bates just turned 27yrs old and has performed at a high level when he's played. The Bills have serious cap problems and can't afford for Morse to get Injured again while eating serious cap space it's time to move on from him and give Bates his chance.

     

    Poyer- Poyer is another older vet 33yrs old and has lost a step this last season do we really want him to stick around and see if he loses another this upcoming season? Poyer has around 6mil in cap savings if released and the safety market is full of young players and won't cost much to get his replacement maybe a player like Jeremy Chinn who's still young and has shown massive potential early in his career and can come in here and play at a higher level then Poyer has this last season. 

     

    DaQuan - Another player that still has some game but coming off an injury and entering next season at 31yrs of age do we really want to sign him back to a 2-3 yr extension? The Bills don't have the cap space to take chances. There's potential free agents like Tair Tart or Raekwon Davis that would cost way less and play nearly as good as DaQuan. Mof I think we can sign both these players for around what it would cost to keep DaQuan. I say that's a win for us. 

     

    This off-season is a great opportunity for the Bills to enter a mini reset phase get younger & cheaper. Move on from older vets and take on some young hungry players all while fixing there cap for upcoming seasons. The question is does McBeane believe these guys are even old ? I don't believe they do actually I think they will bring all of them back.

  18. I was looking around at depth charts of different teams for possible Beane type deal and came across Treylon Burks Wr from the Tennessee he's been underwhelming since being drafted by the Titans and now they have a new regime in place . The Titans have a desperate need for corner help and we have a big need for Wrs . The Bills should make an offer there bust for ours 😂 maybe Elam will be a better fit in the Titans new Defense and Burks can finally play with a real QB in Buffalo. Win win everyone. 😂

    There is a RANGE of schemes among those teams though. Trying to throw Spags in the same pot as Wade Phillips and them in the same pot as Bill Belichick is just basically saying "here is cover 3 / cover 1 zone and then here is everything else." Not all of those schemes were press man. 

     

    The common denominator in there schemes is the man to man press schemes. That's the point! 

     

    Most of those defenses are 3-4 defenses or hybrid . We don't run that D . My point is this is the way to go if u wanna win big

    That does seem to be what’s happening around here…people are talkin like the chiefs are blowing us out every game but the last two of those playoff matchups easily could’ve gone the other way (as could the regular season matchup that we won) 

     

    if we were losing two score+ type games and getting clearly outclassed like that afc championship game a few years back I’d feel a lot more hopeless 

    Do u realize the last 3 QBs we beat in the playoffs and who they are 2 3rd stringers in Rudolph and Thompson and a Rookie in Mac Jones and guess what they all scored good points against us. 😂

  21. 59 minutes ago, GunnerBill said:

     

    They did not play a ton more man than us. They were overwhelmingly a zone coverage team. They held and committed a lot of PI. Do I think they were more physical than us? Yea probably but they were not a press man team. They played zone with DB with length and two safeties that had corner like coverage skills. It was extremely similar to the scheme here. 

     

    EDIT: what I will say is there is an argument that the cover 3 / cover 1 scheme peaked in the last decade - Seattle x2, Carolina, Atlanta all made Superbowls and were regular playoff teams. The Jags ran it in that great year they had where they made the conference Championship game. Even the Bills are more hybrid now than they were. 

    My point is they clutched they grabbed with the Wrs that's something we don't embrace on a high level were not committed to it. 

     

    U mention Seattle, Carolina , Atlanta using Cover 3 and 1 and having great success but now I can go Pats 3  KC 3 , Den 1 , Balt 1, NYG 1, Rams 1 & BUCS 1 that's 11 Champions since 2012 that ran man to man press defenses. I'm not sure exactly what Philly ran  so I didn't put them in there but that's basically a sweep .
