Pine Barrens Mafia

Did coaching drop a deep shot that hit a receiver in the hands? Did coaching get manhandled back into the QB in the clutch? Did coaching get scorched by a 34 yo tight end in single coverage? Was coaching incapable of winning a pass rush battle all game?

If you had to ask me to choose whether to fire beane or McDermott, I choose beane. Why? While he's overall built a competitive roster, he's utterly failed at drafting gane-changing players. You know my position on some of his picks, but ask yourself honestly: would you rather have a Metcalf or an Oliver? Basham or Humphrey? AJE or Uche? I could go on, but beane seems to prefer a whole roster of average over high ceiling guys (oddly, with the exception of the QB). Also, this team lacks speed all over the field on both offense and defense, and I'd argue that the lack of speed on defense is the most notable reason why this team has failed in the postseason. Lastly, beane's cap management and free agent acquisitions have been suboptimal, and the cap issues are going to do us in this coming season, I get the feeling. So, if you're asking me who's holding the bag of failure, it's Brandon Beane.

The sure sign of a young person or a congential idiot is the desire to take blind leaps into the dark with uncertain outcomes.

It'll never happen

Yes, they are.

I feel culturally enriched

"Fire the guy I don't like"

You're damned right about that.

Think we need to move on from both. Hyde's retiring, so that makes that easier.

Pat or Kyle Williams. We haven't had a dominant DE in like 20 years.

New here? Also, @Nervous Guy wept

I got herpes just reading this

OCT was a HELL of a pick. Maybe one of Beane's best.

The bills barely beat Skylar Thompson because Josh Allen was a turnover machine in that game. It wasn't coaching.

Diggs may be at best a number 2 receiver next year. At best.

OK, that's not unreasonable.

Football just isn't worth that level of emotion.

I mean, dude literally broke a leg. Can't hold that against him.

Look at the splits pre-week 10 and post He fell off a cliff mid-season.

Still an ####### after all these years, Good old Ice.

Not on this forum, they don't.

Do we know this for sure? We're paying him like he can.

Will you ***** people do me a ***** favor and cut this ***** out? You knuckleheads wouldn't use that kind of a line if he was a Jew or a Buddhist.

Absolutely. I was THIS close to being all in on Ed till he vaporwared it for the playoffs. He is what he is, and that's middling. A shame we blew a 9 pick on him

That guy makes the ONE play we need him to, this conversation likely doesn't happen. The ball hits you in the hands, you HAVE to catch it. Unfortunately, the big talker hasn't done much of that lately
