I don’t feel this is hindsight. The Coleman pick was not adored at the time. Sanders maybe, but Beane has taken MANY early round players that were not clean fits for this team (Epanesa, Ford, Bashum, Oliver, Elam, Coleman, etc) that have provided minimal impact. Some later picks have over performed, but for their draft but they are not making up for the lack of impact in rounds 1 & 2

I don't totally agree. If you ask players to constantly play fast to make the penetration play, you're not encouraging them to break down and play solid fundamentals. The scheme here matters.

McDermott is a conundrum. He's taken us from doldrums and changed the culture so positively. Obviously, Josh is the major part of that, but McDermott's (& Beane's) contributions cannot be ignored. That said, I feel there is a ceiling to this defense and the ceiling of the players they bring in, especially on defense which is McDermott's side of the ball. I hope they do not waste Josh's career. That man deserve a ring.

Not may be, will be

I know noone who wanted that.

Which is why it's still in the bag. Let Shakir cook.

I wondered if I was the only one that was quite bothered by that.

This isn’t even a thought exercise. We have a realistic chance to experience the pinnacle of why we follow our team, but we’ve not had that pleasure yet. That experience will be priceless, especially in Buffalo where other than NLL, championships are impossible to come by. NO ONE IS STANDING BY TO GIVE MONEY AWAY TO YOU!!! Why even entertain such an idea?

I’d rather be the b**** than sloppy seconds

The problem is you believe the league cares about parity, or fairness. They do not. The NFL is a business and they only care about profits. 14 teams in the playoffs earns more than 12. Fortunately, 16 earns more than 14. In a TV contract negotiation upcoming, we’ll get a 16 team playoff. We’ll get an 18 game schedule first, so we’re probably 2 negotiations away to the 16 team playoff. Why should the Super Bowl be on a Saturday?

I posted elsewhere that other than Josh & Dawkins, most or the high priced players we’ve extended have underperformed Milano due too injury Von to age & injury, Tre injury The return is not worthy the investments Elam was a bad fit choice. Unless the defense is going to revamp to play to has strengths (something I highly doubt) then he’s should be traded to resurrect his career. Get an asset for him and do better in development

Annually the Bills shy away from rookies making an impact since the coaches fear giving rookies too much responsibility. Other successful teams don’t fall into this scared narrative. McDermott either needs too trust Beane and the picks he’s given, or learn how too coach up rookies and make the contributors right away. Worthy v Coleman. Mahomes clearly trust Worthy more. Elam v KC secondary last couple or years. Elam has been ruined by this coaching staff forcing him too fit into a system he’s not suited for instead of adjusting a scheme for him too thrive while KC plugs & plays rookies annually who get the job done. McDermott has been great for culture, but he’s annually fails this team from getting too the pinnacle

I hope the league, err, the Chiefs get their 3peat. Otherwise the league starts the cycle over again for the (red &) golden boy

I haven't gone back to look at the first formation penalty against Anderson, but I watched him on the 2nd one they called at the time and went back to see it on replay and he was lined up like an H back inside of Kincaid. That was a truly incorrect call.

Why was he not challenging the sticks on that play? He's Josh's most reliable WR and he's deep in the backfield against an aggressive defense. That should have been Samuel with Shakir beyond the sticks. PK
