If Coleman can’t separate against college DBs why in the world would we draft him in the first? Beane himself said he’s looking for separation and YAC from receiver prospects

What the Vikings second round pick does is give Beane the leeway to use our 2025 First round pick to move up if he feels the need and still have 2 picks in the top 64 in 2025.

Too many people discount the importance of luck once you get to the playoffs. Teams are very evenly matched and all it takes is one weird bounce of the ball, one key defender to get dinged at the wrong time, etc. Our O has been good enough to get to the SB for a couple years now. Josh plays outstanding in the playoffs even if there are bumps along the way in the regular season. I think our downfall recently has been 1) Key defensive injuries and 2) Our “star” offensive/defensive players not stepping up and making a play in the playoffs when it needs to be made. Edmunds never made a play in 5 years, Von was toast last season, Oliver does a disappearing act every year in the playoffs, Bernard and Milano weren’t available and both are playmakers. Josh played well but Diggs drops a bomb, Sherfleid (not a star) drops 2 bombs. Josh can’t be the only guy on the team raising his game in the playoffs. The difference between us and KC in the playoffs is Chris Jones pushing O-line back into Josh so he couldn’t step up and hit a wide open Shakir. KC defensive stars make plays in the playoffs, ours disappear or aren’t even on the field.

Gabe’s a good dude. Hope he gets paid, just not by us. I’d give him 8 mil/yr to stay as a WR3 but he’d never take that, understandably. We need a WR2 who can run all the routes and separate with enough potential to become WR1 when Diggs is done. I’m not a draft guru but I’d think we’d have to spend our first round pick or trade up in the 2nd to get a guy with that potential right out of the gate.

Josh doesn’t have one guy who steps ups and makes plays when the game is on the line and a play has to be made, especially on defense. Big time players make big time plays in big time games, and we don’t have any besides Josh. One guy, as good as he is, can only take you so far.

What a crock of sht. I don’t think for one second if we had drafted Mahomes that we’d have a Super Bowl. Except for his first experience against Houston, Josh has been MONEY in the playoffs. The guy has played more than well enough to win. it’s the coaching and his teammates that have failed him. I think Mahomes is a better QB, but Allen is a better QB/leader for Buffalo. Mahomes has had near HOF talent around him since day 1. Reid is the best play caller in football, Kelce is a phenom, Diggs disappeared. Chris Jones shows up in the playoffs where Ed Oliver is MIA against KC. Trent Sherfield drops multiple bombs while MVS catches the game clinching bomb after dropping everything previous to that. It’s up to Beane and McD to surround Allen with the talent to put them over the top. Can they do it? IDK. But they are close.

Bengals are done. Burrow is done. He’s GLASS. Now that they have to start paying people, which their owner doesn’t do, that team is going to circle into mediocrity.

He wasn’t getting anything else so he was smart to grab on to the OC title when he’s going to be a passing game coordinator.

We have a number of players like Brown and Bernard who prove beyond a doubt that the majority of this board has zero understanding of player development or the patience to see it happen

Marino nailed it with his list of what losing in the playoffs reveals about your team 1) No downfield WR threat 2) Special teams blunders 3) Disappearing defensive tackles (My opinion : Ed Oliver completely no shows in the playoffs. Disgusting effort on his part) 4) Too many defensive injuries Game plan was good. Lack of explosive plays did us in. Reid/Mahomes had a genius level gameplan to exploit our deficiencies due to injury. McD tried Zone, tried man, tried 2 high, tried 1 high, tried blitzing. Reid/Mahomes picked apart every single combo. We just didn’t have the horses to slow them down.

Going into the game, I really thought we were going to win. After KC’s opening drive of the 2nd half, I knew we were done barring some miracle which never happens for the Bills. Our defense had ZERO answers. Reid/Mahomes did a masterful job of targeting our weaknesses due to injury. McD didn’t adjust soon enough to Kelce/Rice and our D line was a no show. Game over. Thankfully, I got called in to do an emergency case after that drive so I didn’t have to experience the inevitable collapse except via my phone blowing up with distraught friends/family venting haha. It was almost a relief, I’m emotionally drained after this year. We are on to Cincinnati!

I think we are going to see a lot of 3 safety looks if McD doesn’t like how Klein/Williams look If we can stop the run effectively with Poyer in the box, I think we win comfortably.

WTF is Tampa’s defense doing? They’ve left the middle of the field open all day. Can’t stop a thing

Yikes Evans, that’s brutal in the playoffs

Take the ball, go 3 and out. Mistake #1
