Of course being clutch matters. I’m not saying it doesn’t. As I’ve said before many times. But we’ve been clutch. Being clutch on offense means nothing when your D can’t keep a 3 point lead with 13 seconds left. In all likelihood, even if Josh had been clutch in the last 2 playoff losses, our defense would’ve lost it for him. We can judge based on history. And history suggests McD can’t stop Reid and Mahomes in the playoffs. The defense has been abysmal in every season ending loss since Josh’s ascension saving their worst for the biggest game. It’s the biggest reason we have no super bowls. Our WR unit carries some blame as well. Just not nearly as much. Every unit on D played much worse than our WR unit in our season ending losses. It was our best players that dropped passes and got blown up in pass pro.

Yes- again- I’ve acknowledged this many times. In the chiefs 2 Super Bowl losses the opposing QBs were sitting on the sideline watching their backups on their final drive iirc. It’s possible for teams to not need a final drive to be clutch vs KC. our defense is the biggest reason we haven’t beat KC in the playoffs. Disagree if you like. You’d just be wrong.

Yes, they did. I’ve acknowledged this many times. Not scoring on a drive in which you scored 29 points is different than allowing your opponent to score more points than they had all year. The year before, the KC offense obliterated our defense even worse. Both games without our best defensive player, Benford I don’t feel like we’ve lost ground to KC. They had a helluva draft, but don’t think they’ve upgraded their OL very much if at all. Also acknowledging that their offense could be better with rice and royals in the mix. I also think we had a helluva draft and upgraded our DL in a big way in the offseason. Our pass rush, on paper, is much better than last year imo. Our secondary is clearly better this year, unless you think Rasul Douglas is better than our new additions. Our LBs are the same and have a chance to be healthy. I will say, our offense didn’t get much better, if at all. The improvements will have to come from player progression. Possible.

💯 Giving up a season high points to KC in a game decided by 3. The offense wasn’t the problem. The defense and the health of the defense continues to lead to our demise. The bills have gotten 9 stops vs KC in the playoffs since the 21 playoff game. The eagles had 9 straight in the Super Bowl.

Think there’s any chance that RVD is OT3? I say that with the thought of possibly Grable transitioning inside to start at RG or LG. Unlikely, but just a thought. I don’t see us paying Torrance 20M aav. McGovern could demand close to that. If Edwards plays well he could demand 10M or more. He’ll be 29 chasing a first big payday. That said, I love the depth of this unit, especially the.potential our backups. I think Alec Anderson, Lundt and SVP could all take their game to the next level, partially due to the amount of competition. It’s difficult to keep 5 talented OLmen together. The IOL could change drastically in 2026. Could Grable be in the mix? I see the depth of IOL to be his biggest obstacle

I enjoyed watching this. I was a big fan of his coming out of college. While he may not be an “x”, he can play imo.

I think Moore is more “likely” than Shenault.

Agreed. Bad look.

Agreed. Hopefully Beane can turn this into a day 3 pick. I could see us getting a 5th for AJ. We got similar for Ryan Bates and Cody ford. I think Daquan will be retained and start unless one of the kids really show out and take it.

He’s a beast. Good for him

There are different levels of losing your cool. You don’t have to threaten someone to lose your cool. You don’t have to hold a grudge to lose your cool. I don’t think he threw a tantrum or acted immature. I do think he wishes he had that back. agree to disagree

The fact that he lost his cool defending this is very strange to me. He knows that the WR is missing a piece. He brought in Moore to cement that as fact. Compound the fact that he admitted he knows that these guys say things as a way to create their content. Even more reason to not lose your cool. Just strange

To be fair, I don’t listen to Jeremy other than on Marinos new show. I didn’t hear his rant that Beane was referring to

Good point. Seems to me like the guys we’re investing our best resources in (diggs, Kincaid, and to a lesser extent ) haven’t been able to get it done. Diggs was elite. Couldn’t make the plays when needed. Kincaid, trade up and use a 1st. Drops pass he needed to catch. Our pro bowl LT gets bullrushed and causes an incompletion. Talented players not coming through when the opportunity arises. Only time will tell.

I cringed. That was the worst I’ve heard from Brandon Beanes mouth. Especially considering the topic. Why get so animated over a subject he knows to be true. He wants another speed WR. He said all he needed to in the PC- the guys weren’t on the board when they were on the clock. They went BPA. Leave it at that. Those that are expecting him to say he made a mistake and should’ve traded up, you should know better. That would ever be said. Nonetheless, that was a poor moment from Beane and I bet he wishes he had that one back
