And thus we now have the biggest question of the offseason…who is Josh going to race at the end of each practice?

LOL. Old joke as there were a few ninnies around here bemoaning letting Gillislie go, and then he proceeded to fall off the face of the earth.

I know we treat McD and Beane as one entity at times, but coaching hires are squarely in McD’s domain. Sean is serious about making the Bills better and I’m already psyched about the offense for next season despite losing Daboll. Somebody get that man a bro! Or a manssiere. Something. Good lord.

How did we let that guy get away? He’s got to be getting fitted for his HOF jacket by now.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves…first the Pats*** must be awarded two compensatory draft picks.

It’s just really weird how a thread about intriguing WR FAs turned into a “you don’t care about defense” indictment.

LOL. I just don’t think you get it. The Bills were in the AFC championship last year, and a brain fart away from hosting the AFC championship this year. “Have not done much to help him out.” LOL again. This team doesn’t have glaring weaknesses; they just need to continue to move forward, and to me that means continuing to add weapons for Josh. I refuse to be a fan pounding his fist on the table for a “splash” move at DE. The Bills are not at home right now because their defense wasn’t good enough, and if one more person tells me about how the Bengals “shut down” Mahomes I might explode. The Bills’ coaches failed them by not making necessary adjustments. You think the Bills lose that game if Tre is playing? I believe that McD learns from his mistakes. I’ve seen him evolve year after year, and I think that will continue. The Bills will have an above average defense and an elite offense, and hopefully a coach who is better at the in-game adjustments that can make a huge difference.

Yes, I made fun of an ages old football "truism." That doesn't mean I don't think defense is important, and you know it. Window, schmindow. When you have an elite QB your window is every year. The good GMs find a way to manipulate the cap to their advantage, and I'm sure Beane will do the same.

If anyone thinks I’m saying the Bills should “ignore” defense they are taking an overly simplistic view of my post and this thread. My overall perspective is that when you have a bell cow at QB, you don’t let him “make do” with what you have; you keep putting more players around him. On defense the Bills need to upgrade at CB2 and continue searching for impact players on the line. That is not in dispute.

Agree. I don’t envision Crowder or Kirk as “pricey overkill.”

This is true, I just look at the Bills’ defensive failure in that game as one of coaching and adjustments, not talent. For my money, I’m going to give the big fella all the weapons I can.

Couldn’t disagree more, re: not continuing to build the offense. Forget this “D wins championships” nonsense. The Bills are right there; they need to give Josh more weapons, not fewer. Lack of adjustments kept the Bills out of the Super Bowl, not lack of talent or lack of defense.

I was looking around on Spotrac this morning and pulled this list. There are a number of guys who could add to the Bills offense in a big way to complement Diggs and Davis. I think we know the Bills aren’t going to go after Davante or Allen Robinson but what about guys like Crowder, Kirk, Mike Williams? Kirk is intriguing to me in particular. Still young (25) and had a pretty good year for Arizona with Hopkins going down. Crowder is a very solid player. Mike Williams is a contested catch guy also. Can’t wait to see what Beane does.

I just have to say how wonderful it is to read that statement and know (a) it’s true; and (b) we’ve got one.

He also snagged Laura Young to some “director of coaching” position. She was on the Bills staff last year.

She is absolutely adorable, and Stef is exactly who I'd expect him to be after watching how he conducts himself over the last two years. Just a really good dude.

I absolutely intend to watch the Williams movie. I can't imagine I'll ever sit down to watch the Kurt "Jesus" Warner story.

And by the way, if ANY of you go see his stupid movie I'll personally come to your house and whoop your ass.

Yeah…I mean god forbid these guys have some fun and show their personalities…

Having read three pages of this thread, I can only reach one conclusion: this is either a great hire or we're doomed.

There are medications for that. Hi troll.

Ok, well forget what I said.

The day after the lawsuit was filed I noticed a tweet from the Vikings lauding their 2nd HC interview with a black candidate. It’s extremely possible they thought about things and decided hiring Harbaugh — another white retread — over a black candidate they obviously “like” might not be the prudent move. I don’t like the idea of teams being “pressured” into making certain hires but if the Vikings go that direction in this instance I kinda like it.

This your new thing? Bash Bills fans who don’t live in Buffalo? Most of us who root from afar spend far more of our disposable income on the Bills than local supporters like you.
