I do think he has been a bit nicked up since the Chiefs game. He isn't quite as quick in his cuts but he is still running hard.

Jimbo is a stud. You only need to be wrong once defense.

Grest blitz recognition Josh. Got to his hot.

Let's gooooo Bufffaaalllooooo!

It is cos Beane remains confident he will make the 2026 1st round pick. He is less confident he makes the 2027 one. 3 years ago he makes that trade under those circumstances IMO.

I still think he is better suited to the nickel long term but let's see.

Agree. My least favourite slot for the Bills.

This is a fair point. And speaks to they have some older vets at the end and a lot of rookie deal guys and only the 3 guys they paid last spring (where the big dollars haven't kicked in yet) and Oliver (done for the year) as prime age guys they are paying market rate for. On the flipside they have thrown some draft capital at it the past couple of years.

I went to the Jags - Rams game because it was our bye week and a mate is a Rams fan. But it was the first non-Bills one Iv been to since pre-covid.

They screwed the pricing up this year. Removing the season ticket option and then hiking ticket prices. I'd expect some reversion next year. Because I genuinely think they priced themselves out.

I'd support the Bills. Easy answer. If the Bills ever moved from Buffalo and there was a London team already in situ then it might become a question.

Yep. And when he has had good ones they made the Superbowl. When he hasn't they crash early in the playoffs.

Yea. His GM and his coordinators have been the stars of that show.

No. Trust what you were seeing. They were good. That is what you saw. They are bad now. That is also what you are seeing.

Agree once the season is started especially. That is the rules and the way the game has evolved. Is what it is.

The defense hasn't been bad through 7 groups of players.

Do we? I don't know that. What I do know is Joey Bosa is a limiter effort tackler. What I do know is Milano, White, Poyer and Taron Johnson are slower than they used to be and so are not always getting there at the right angle. What I do know is Dorian Williams has taken bad angles his entire career. What I do know is pad level has been an issue for Deone Walker through college and there have been times it has popped up this season. It has always been an issue for Jordan Phillips. Fans overblame coaching. Players have to make plays.

Exactly. If that stat does anything it absolves the coaches of blame somewhat. You can say "well they should practice tackling more" but you don't know that they don't do that already. Players have to be accountable. They have to tackle. That is on them to do their ***** jobs that they have very highly remunerated for.

The fact that I think Sirianni is a net negative and if you move on don't hire Vic he might walk as DC....

The coaching is bad in Philly. Especially on offense. It's pretty clear now - give Hurts a good OC - Steichen or Moore and he looks good. Without them he looks meh. Sirianni doesn't move the needle at all. That Superbowl win was Howie, Vic and Kellen. I do wonder if there is a point at which Howie just says "let's make Vic Head Coach"?

I did talk about this before Beane signed the 5 guys this summer: Bernard, Shakir, Groot, Benford and then Cook. All 5 of those guys were good draft picks. They are all NFL starting claibre players and other than Bernard I think they are all above average with Cook and Benford darn good. But there was a personal incentive for Beane to lock those guys up that went beyond the team. Before the spring Beane had been responsible for seven drafts as the Bills General Manager. The guys he had drafted who had been worth second contracts were: Josh Allen Taron Johnson Ed Oliver Dawson Knox AJ Epenesa Tyler Bass Spencer Brown Knox and Epenesa had since lost their starting jobs. So from 22 starters after 7 years as the GM Beane had four guys he had drafted and then re-signed. That is NOT a high number. The 2022 draft where Cook (2nd), Bernard (3rd), Shakir (5th) and Benford (6th) came from was without question his best draft since 2018 even though he blew his first round pick. If he didn't retain those guys from his most successful class his record of drafting multi contract starters for the Bills would really have begun to look sparse. He almost had to show "look guys in 2022 I got it right" for his own reputation.

The only one I disagree with is Grable. If he can ever get and stay healthy I think he can be an NFL starter and a good one too.

I mean Beane actively tells us he does. I don't know how many times he has to say it before people believe him.

Only in 2017 did McDermott draft anybody.

The above poster is right, Poyer played well vs Tampa. He wasn't the issue. It was the second level almost all night. I don't think any of the three of them even played average. Poyer was pretty good.
