Really digging Chris Bell from Louisville as a realistic target. Mostly being projected in 2nd rd, but seems like a "riser" and could end up in 1st rd by draft time, especially if he continues to play well, have a good Senior Bowl week appearance 6'2" 220lbs 4.4'ish. Currently at 62 rec, 792yds, 6 td. This is his 3rd year with good production, quiet freshman year. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Chris-Bell-WR-Louisville Here's a game from this year versus Miami, who has pretty nasty defense. They've fallen quite a bit as of recent, but thats more on offensive side of ball. @27 second mark was a play that really put him on my radar. He took over and won this game which was a pretty huge upset at the time https://youtu.be/PbsyBBvOxxs

I just want to share something I saw yesterday from Cover 1 guys. Bernard is playing hurt right now. I don't think it's any shock, and its its own problem, but he didnt just become a bum overnight at least. Id been really down on that one as of recent. Im assuming theres been so many injuries they've made him push through, but he had zero explosion and clearly a limp of sorts on the play they showed.

What NFL HC job has opened up, at any point recently or not, has been a better place to step into and win immediately? Im drawing a blank, I'm sure there has been, but this has g2 be at the top. Let the names roll in and see what you have. Spend some $$ and gather some top consultants. I dunno, youre a billionaire, how would he hire a different job at a company he owns, that he couldn't possibly know anything about doing, on a personal level? Do that lol

Everything that could help us the most, can be done without the constraints of a salary cap. Your point is valid, and makes a potential hire scary, but it need to be done. Terry needs to hire a board of consultants to help interview/pick the right guys, that costs $$$.... but no salary cap on that. I think McD couldve done ok here IFFFF we went balls out and made sure we got top coordinators. Should've been super obvious by the end of Dorsey's tenure!! We have a Ferrari, we cant let the soberest town drunk drive the car.... def cant bank on a Rookie Coordinator with a Championship Window that open..... we learned nothing there Looking back in hindsight, I think McD likely held Frazier back more than we realize... Im not going to cry over it, he wasn't elite, might not have even been "good", but damn Babich was a crappy decision too. Anybody have a pulse for who the hot named coordinators are? We cant really afford to be this picky (probably).... but we cant go with the full on youth movement again, but I do not want some dinosaurs in here. I really dont love the idea of picking from the NFL's leftovers, too small of a pool. Are there names from college ranks we can kick the tires on?

No its not. Billy Madison level answer here. Nobody is spewing any hate if we go out and plug our #1 hole, for MULTIPLE YEARS, for a player in his prime, in the most wide open SB year..... is going to say "mAn hE sAyS hE sUks aT dRafTinG"....... "And may God have mercy on your soul" Im ready to move om from BB, yet this stupid defend his own players, before the season EVEN STARTED, rhetoric is alive and pumping. I guess this is what he gets for standing pat, but im so sick of hearing hyperbole about this radio station with 10k viewers determined how a Billion dollar company chose to handle itself.

Im critical of Brady right now, but you're absolutely (intentionally or not) butchering the context of what he was saying. Its not going well enough as it is, no need to make up garbage 👎

Dont let todays news and yesterdays anger influence you.... Daboll had the most stacked WR room in league. Prime Diggs & Beasley. Jon Brown. Emmanuel Sanders. That team couldnt put up points last year with Daniel Jones & Nabers. Anyone forgetting Danny Dimes looks like Joe Montana the second he left NY, and Nabers was the top WR outta that draft.... now Danny isnt what he looks like right now (i dont think), but he also isnt as bad as he was with NYG.... its somewhere in between. Anybody thinking Daboll comes in here and lights it up with Keon, Shakir, and Palmer is highhhhhhhh on cracccccccc. No more spinning our tires with our old friends, thats part of the reason we are where we are. I actually like idea of bringing in a Failed HC, who was once a good Coordinator, but we don't have any evidence that Daboll was ever a good Coordinator. I dont even want anybody "Good", I want someone elite at both coordinator spots

We had the best WR core in the league... we are now at the polar opposite end of that! I don't hate the idea, but we can't afford to gamble. These Coordinator hires are going to be the single most important round of hirings we have EVER (!!!!) done. Getting the boys back together past their glory days, over and over and over, is part of the reason we're at where we're at!

I dont think we can afford to do this anymore. Its at minimum 1 year too late. We need to seriously retool this roster and just absorb the down year. Bad $$ needs to go, we need the higher draft slot. Rolling back the same/similar staff is too risky. You'll have these guys fighting for their job, with the belief that under change, a WildCard or Divisional will buy them another year. They'll throw everything at it, to get to our ceiling of Divisional round appearance. We need to retool, absorb the down year, shed bad money, ship out all the walking injury factories/petite players and get the talent boost from picking a bit higher. If you try a mini rebuild you risk running out of time with subpar talent around Josh. Its ugly, it hurts, I haaaaate it. CAN NOT RISK HALF-ASS THIS. Certainly doesnt mean going 2-15. If we do it right, between finishing this season out under a D.O.A. coach staff, and a new staff next year, eating bad dead money... we can pop back up and have a new & better window to make certain we get one with Josh while he's here. My belief of multiple rings is gone now. Tear it down, fix the foundation CORRECTLY, we have some nice pieces for the next run, but we can't bubble gum tape this team again. Trade the older, and the higher cap guys that have value like Dion Dawkins. Maybe Oliver. If Kincaid is FUBAR and finishes out the year well, unload him... too sleight, someone will want to take on that risk. We can not continue to gamble and hope we win back what we've lost.

The WR's make this too big an obstacle to overcome. Some might hate it here, and I questioned if this was an emotional belief I had yesterday... 24hrs later. I genuinely want to fire McD/Beane. Signal to prospective coaches that a good job is available way ahead of time. What comes after that naturally, is what we're left with. 1. Maybe it fires the boys up, and they start caring/Billeiving again... become dangerous 2. We flounder, lose an extra game or two that we shouldn't have (on top of the ones that would've already happened), and we get a chance to move up draft boards. I know it won't be much, but we need the talent injection! That can be a part of our mini-rebuild, which we need. Cut the worst money, eat those contracts in first year after new FO comes in. Expect it to be a down year, but we can still sneak in as a wild card and actually be dangerous. This team is not winning s*** this year. Even if we go Red-Hot, I dont trust or believe in them to keep it up in playoffs. I'm over rehashing what the problem is with the FO right now... it's old and stale. Were part of a couple, where both sides have been caught cheating... the fights have escalated to throwing plates at the wall... they resent each other. We waited too long to get out of the relationship, and it's fried. Doesnt matter who is more wrong, or at fault. It cant be fixed. I appreciate everything Beane and McD have done here, genuinely, but we hit a wall... we were pot-committed to staying in the hand, so we kept calling... the turn and the river have changed what was a really solid hand, into 3rd best cards at the table... the other guys know it too. There's no more cards to turn, we can't bluff our way out... we blew our chips. Seriously, we need to re-tool.

I actually bet money on this for this exact reason. The running game has really taken a front seat this year, after several years building towards this... and I think the NFL will want to showcase this, and break the trend of a Non-QB winning for the first time since 2012. Biggest hurdle against that IMO is Stafford's old, and they may want to get him one before he retires

Yep, Ive generally been a supporter of Beane for sure, and McD to a lesser degree... but yesterday, was the third one of the piss poor games we played halfway into the season (just over). Normally we get our 2 bad weeks in a row, and then come back firing better than ever multiple times.... this one is significantly closer to the heels of our bad stretch than other years. I dont have a problem with the loss, anywhere near as much as I do the way we lost. We looked like we did 0 work all week. There was no focus coming in, and very much like they won the SB last week. Preparedness and focus are the 2 tools McD has in his bag that are hard to criticize (at least big picture). Well, those feel gone... so what are we left with? -- A guy who makes WEEEAAAAAK coordinator hires, who cant get those guys firing right. -- Weak X's & O's guy: -Not a real strong Offense Guy -Good def play caller, but not when role is delegated as it should be -If hes calling defense, that time is going to leach from something else! Focus, preparedness, undisciplined, and intensity? Looks it -- A guy that has lost the team. Players may not say it, or even realize it. Consciously or not, they told on him yesterday for having lost them

Im done with McD but at minimum the least he could do for us/himself is stomp his feet into Pegulas office and say "i cant thrive with these cheap coordinators. I need real money for coordinators". To me its insane that we dont already do that. Hes cool paying roster a quarter billion a year, and were bargain bin shopping with rookie coordinators? Go spend an extra $10m a year and see what that buys you! That'd make a huge difference.

Stupid. Im miserable, you can be too, but this is idiocy. We also dont know how vocal or what type of vocal he is behind the scenes. Hes not a quitter and I don't appreciate the baseless implication.

Im sorry. Did anyone looked focused? Fired up? Did we see any players take the reigns and try to snap them out of it after the 2nd TD? We looked completely and unequivocally unprepared mentally. That is the coaches job. If you truly did and do your best to prepare them right either: 1. Your best isn't good enough 2. They've tuned you out. Looked like a combination of both. I have a hard time believing McD kept their heads outta the clouds after "winning their SB" last week. For clarity I don't care which of the 3 it is, theyre all unacceptable. Amd for the "Terry hasn't hasn't msde a right hire for Sabres/with Rex". I dont want to hear it. We'd have the pick of the litter. They would NOT face the same dilemma the Sabres have. Not at all.
