According to what I have been seeing on the web, Ravens beat themselves....
They are blaming Henry but Lamar had the ball and all they had to do was kill clock. Harbaugh and Lamar failed in the end. It was McDermott-esque.

I am as happy as a little girl this morning so I am unsure where you figure I hate the Bills.
It's just the same tired crap people on this board come up with when you criticize something about this team. They can't refute the correct analysis so it devolves into lame soap boxing about "haters."

I'm gonna go with the guy that did something so insane that I don't think any of us here can even truly appreciate it. Josh Allen may end up being the best football player to ever play the game, not just the best QB.
McDermott gets zero credit. Defense woefully unprepared. Gameplan was hideously conservative. The 2 point tries... I feel bad for whoever picks him up after Allen retires. Gonna be like Belichick in North Carolina all over again.

This is a drought era team without Josh Allen. Good thing we have Josh Allen. I had many negative feelings but they kept showing Josh's face and I kept watching and then he did Josh Allen stuff and there was much rejoicing.

Pass rushers don't grow on trees. If they think they can develop a 3rd round pick into an above average starter, then I don't think it's a bad pick. If they were for some reason hoping he'd be a contributor year 1 then they whiffed hard.

Palmer, Shenault and now Moore. Shenault was definitely a player a large part of the board wanted in the draft when he came out. Moore fits the exact type of receiver people wanted in Worthy last year. I guess I am not understanding how a 4th round wide receiver would some how be a better prospect in a receiver thin class than 3 guys with NFL experience. Is it just the desire for the unknown? You want to be there when "your guy" makes it to the big time?
Shakir is the #1. We used him essentially the same way we used Diggs, except Shakir wasn't bitching every play he didn't get the ball so he saw less targets. Kincaid is technically supposed to be the #2, the generational talent at tight end. You mix Knox and a couple guys in here and there, that's the offense essentially. Cooper improved the offense because he was a deep threat. Coleman is supposed to be that guy but he did not mature as quickly as the staff thought he would, in came Cooper. If Coleman can start to be the presence on the outside that's a threat to Moss a defender down field, this offense will be just as good, if not better than it was last year.
Moore will be the McKenzie of this offense, or at least, that will be what this staff hopes to get out of him. Speed can work just as well on a jet sweep as it can downfield. Get him some bubble screens and make some space, he can certainly be a piece in this offense.

Nakua, despite his name, can kiss his dreams of playing in the NFL away now that he has assaulted a fan. No team will touch him after this. The NFL is not bush league.
These are the kind of guys that Beane gets derided for not drafting. Character is certainly not a quality that should be overlooked.
On a positive note, the Defenders completed the largest comeback in UFL history this past weekend and won 37-33.
If you haven't watched any yet, tune in. Without a preseason or terribly long training camp, about mid season is when these teams come into their own.

I don't know about the weakest wide receiver group but the Bills definitely have the whiniest fan base.

Defense wins championships.
I am going with a B grade. Did not address the weakest position group (safety) and the blocking tight end pick was frankly a throw away pick. Seemed early to make that kind of choice, would've been nice to see that pick made last and a receiver in the 5th.
Other than that? Can't argue with overhauling the very weak defensive line.

I keep hearing we needed to draft a wide receiver but I've yet to hear a single name that we missed out on or passed on that would even move the needle in this offense.
That's how you know it wasn't a deep class at wide receiver, no real big names.

Right. They backed off big time while Beane was on the phone, then after Jeremy got all insulted Beane came at him.
The Bills blog-o-sphere is an echo chamber (or maybe a circle jerk) where the same people keep slapping each other on the back for being so smart about what the Bills need to do. So no wonder they get the vapors when the rather successful GM tells them they don't know it all.
But they got the fan reaction they were looking for. Just two phone calls later some guy is ripping Beane, comparing him to Jason Botterill! So now the Bills are no different than the Sabres? WTF is it with this fan base?
What's with this fan base is that they turn on the radio and listen to the circle jerk and then they come on a message board to regurgitate all of the talking points.
The bottom line is we signed Palmer, Shenault, drafted a kid, have Samuel that may finally be healthy this year and brought Moore in to kick the tires. Beane has historically spent a ton of capital on addressing the wide receiver room. This offseason hasn't been any different.
I guess my question is, who was the can't miss prospect at wide receiver that the Bills had a realistic opportunity to draft?

Everyone continues to fall into this trap of thinking that WRs don’t put up numbers because of poor QB play, and that just isn’t the case. People were convinced that Amari Cooper was going to light it up with Josh after leaving Cleveland. It didn’t happen. Meanwhile, Jerry Jeudy moved from Denver to Cleveland and had a career year.
If a WR doesn’t put up numbers, it’s because he’s not a very good WR.
That's not how that works lol scheme is actually the biggest success and failure for a lot of receivers. Jeudy had a career year because Dorsey's offense is typically designed around a single receiver, we saw it in Buffalo with Diggs.
Anyways, Moore is an undersized guy who if he was 3 or 4 inches taller, would jump off the page. Consistent hands, excellent route runner, 4.35 speed. Remember Isahiah McKenzie? That's most likely the role Moore would play in this offense.

Everyone saying that we have the highest scoring offense, points per game, ect. Yes, we do but our last two seasons have ended with 17 having the ball in his hands with a chance to win and nobody could get open and/or dropped passes. Beane pointing out the obvious grand slam he hit drafting Allen and ignoring the many high pick whiffs he's had recently I think was wrong.
The biggest drop coming from the highest paid receiver I think the Bills have ever had. Drafting a 4th round receiver doesn't fix that. It's still all about player development and finding the right fit.
The defense has fallen off a cliff, the offense has not, there for, you load the defense up with new talent. It's really not a difficult thing to understand. Beane has spent tons of capital on receivers over the years and the needle hasn't moved.

A well deserved remember your place moment for these two nit wits.
The Bills have had the #1 offense in the entire National Football League since 2020. The over reaction to not drafting a receiver is absolutely ridiculous.

I think the pros - the GMs and the coaches - have learned over the years to be careful about what they say. They choose their words carefully. I think a 23-year-old guy who's never been through this process before is likely to hear things he wants to hear and isn't accustomed to listening as carefully to the words as the GM or coach chose them.
Yea as you grow older you learn to translate corporate speak. What is said is hardly ever what is meant.

I need my Gator pick this year and who better than Elijhah Badger? The Gators offense was the Badger show at times through out the season last year and really helped with the development of the freshman QB DJ Lagway. 4.4 speed, excellent hands and much like Shakir for Buffalo, always seemed to come up with the big 3rd down catch when we needed it. From scouting reports I've seen he has more of discipline and work ethic concerns than ability or talent concerns so I think that is a perfect 4th or 5th round kind of guy. The Gators staff is not the hallmark of coaching staffs that's for sure, so a change of scenery could certainly benefit him.

Cook was the best player in the afc championship game. If he was given the ball more, we might have gone to the SB.
also, Cook was only behind Barkley and Henry (with far less carries) of 40 yard runs. I know it’s that pre beak-up thing where you have to say how she isn’t that hot, but Cook was a stud last year
Where did I say he wasn't a great player? No need to turn what I said into something to fit a narrative you want to write.
Cook is the 2nd best player on offense, but if he wants out or Beane knows he isn't paying him $15 million a year, the time to move on is when you can get compensation. That's the business part of football.

And 18 months younger. But yep, agree. I still think it Hairston was gone they'd have picked Amos. I think they liked them both a lot.
I will commend a post by @sven233 which talks about his usage in Kentucky's D and I agree with what he wrote (although will repeat my point from earlier on the Bond breakup - the left hand gets there a bit early on the shoulder / back of Bond before he reaches the right across and he has to watch that in the NFL with the flag happy zebras).
I'm about to head out but I will try and come back with some more on similarities to our D later.
This is the hardest part of projecting a CB to the NFL. College allows them to play, the NFL does not. Elam was too reliant on his hands and couldn't grasp the coverage concepts. Hairston should have no issue with our scheme, but I imagine we will see some yellow thrown his way at first. Just the nature of NFL officiating.

I love Cook. I would also love if Beane was able to trade him for draft capital. Josh Allen is the guy that gets paid on offense. Everybody eats but that also means everybody gets paid accordingly. With the best QB in the league, the skill positions can be replaced, that's just the fact of the situation. His touchdowns were a product of not wanting to send our franchise into the middle trying to reach and score and risk injury. I think Ray or Ty could also fill that role or if the draft a Skateboo in the 4th to pound the rock.

Yeah. While some may have preferred other positions, anyone who complains about taking a corner after watching Kaiir Elam get absolutely smoked in the AFCCG last year should probably have his head examined.
The Bills were DREADFUL on 3rd down last year, and it probably cost them a Super Bowl berth. Corner was so clearly a need, and the guy they filled that need with was a "swing for the fences" type pick who has playmaking potential we haven't seen from a Bills corner in years.
Benford and Johnson weren't any better. Plus there's a complete lack of competent safety play so that really amplifies any little mistake made by our corners.
Is Babbich on the hot seat now?

I think the young interior of this line is going to be the difference this year. The more they gel and grow together, I think we will be fine. My main concern will remain McD and Babbich's lack of adjustments when things go sideways. Won't have to worry about that too much going forward. The Ravens win is looking bigger this week than last.
