He's not even close to Kelvin Benjamin tbh

Not counting this years rookie class we have Epenesa, Bishop, OCT and James Cook as 4 out of our last 6 second rd picks So I'm not sure how you're defining success but I don't see a lot to complain about there

I'm not saying he's perfect or even excellent tbh I think his drafts are generally solid if unspectacular

Beane did not trade Mahomes to Reid, that was McDermott

Yes exactly Breaking news/having sources I have no problem believing guys like Cover1. I question a lot of what they put out in their analysis because it invariably puts the FO in the best possible light

Id argue his work in later rounds offsets those misses tho, we draft very well imo

I think if you go back and listen to what McDermott has been saying the last 3 years or so you'll probably agree that this is ultimately the kind of offense he's been trying to create. Beane has been shopping accordingly. It's not an accident that we've arrived here. It may not look exactly how they drew it up but make no mistake it's by design

The coordinators are clearly operating within the existing system Swapping them out will not change much

Missing the playoffs is 100% legitimate cause to fire everyone

Either/or for me No need to ditch QB and staff, just one or the other

😂😂That's such a bad wr room no offense to our guys

100% part of the equation. allen's advanced efficiency metrics, stats i put a good amount of stock in, last yr were all top1-3 due in large part to the historically low negative play rate that you reference. this season they've fallen (some would have said predictably so😂😂) to around top1-8ish range for a variety of factors...the largest of which is most likely due to a combination of mean regression and offense structure full disclosure- i predicted last preseason the 2024 offense had the potential to be poor by conventional standards, due to both lack of faith in brady and personnel. and while on the face of it that was inaccurate (offense was incredibly efficient, allen won MVP, etc) i think there did exist underlying issues that were masked by our negative play% which was bound to return to normal levels at some point. now that it has, we're seeing more of the kind of offense i thought was the likely result of playing this kind of system, w this personnel and coaching staff larger point being...imo we are not being set up for success on offense. doubling down on what amounted to a statistical outlier of a season, offensively speaking, in 2024 was incredibly poor judgement from the FO. allen's play, while not up to mvp levels of last yr, is far from the reason we see such inconsistent results- the margin for error in brady's scheme is too thin when the difference between looking borderline unstoppable/outright lost is a never-before-seen-in-league-history negative play rate

correct qb2 is allen 2024 qb1 is allens 2025 pace its not lamar and allen

here are two QBs guess which one is the MVP QB1 4,041 yards 28TDs/9ints 70%completion + 587 yards rushing and 13TDs or QB2 3,731 yards 28TDs/6INTs 63.6%completion + 531 yards rushing and 12TDs

Yup Bills 40 Bucs 23

Yup for me 2021 was the year we let it slip

i just remember coming off the afccg loss and thinking that 2021 was the typical trajectory of a team that's been knocking on the door. i put down a big SB future bills 2021 NFL champs lol could just be a personal thing but i haven't felt that way since. 13seconds game was when i started having real doubts, i was all in on mcdermott and beane prior

fair agree on philly i dont buy the 'ready to win' thing tbh bengals went from 5yrs of missing the playoffs straight to the Super Bowl we were coming off back to back playoff appearances and an AFCCG, we were plenty ready imo

not close is true but i maintain we were closest in 2021 and im not going to kill them for trying something different, even if i think it's the wrong approach, but i think it's fair to say we've been losing ground ever since. or at least not really progressing

I think I'm more in the camp that there are multiple paths to a championship and I'm not saying the one we're on won't work even tho early returns are not promising. My contention has been- trying to small ball your way on offense to a Super Bowl means you have to be really buttoned up everywhere and very sound situationally...I can't say I'm confident that's ever really been our strong suit

2019 chiefs and 2020 Bucs had those kind of offenses

here ya go

ok look just put me on ignore already, im tired of having this same discussion

meh sulking is your word. im not offended by the way he looks on the sidelines

i mean hes literally the only guy id want out there when the chips are down lol i dont particularly care about his demeanor. i think it's just a narrative. i care about results and he stacks them up
