    But Allen has done nothing to contradict that feeling that we DID screw up...yet. Let’s all hope you’re right, for our collective sanity’s sake.

     

    People said the same thing about Watson, that we made a mistake not drafting him. But he didn't look good at all today and it's not like the Patriots defense is elite. It's going to take a lot more than one game for Mahomes to prove anything. I mean I get it, he's making good reads and getting the ball to his playmakers. That's all you can do as a QB. But he hasn't done anything to make me think he could play with our roster and be successful. Every one of his completions have been routine throws. One thing I'll give him credit for is no interceptions. I expected some turnovers.

    Cheetah has me 30 fantasy points ?

     

    He's an outstanding receiver. He is definitely top 10 and if he keeps up this kind of performance he'll be top 5 before long. The one TD pass was a standard short pass over the middle and he just put on the burners to take it 50+ yards. Another pass Mahomes threw too high in double coverage but Hill jumped up and brought it down with perfect timing for a 30 yard gain. Our receivers can't even catch a ball that hits them in the numbers.

    He didn’t sign Poyer and Hyde.  He has signed ZERO free agents of quality in two offseasons.  His plans at G, WR and CB have crashed and burned.

     

    Beane and McDermott are tied at the hip. I don't separate their decisions at all. Everything we did last offseason belongs to them, good or bad. The weak point I agree is WR. Benjamin isn't good enough to be a #1 receiver. They have to address that next year. I don't blame him for the offensive line. We lost 2 starters to retirement and no one in the NFL is able to find quality players.

    This team is on the same trajectory as the Sabres, using the same logic that they used about cleaning house and rebuilding. See how that worked out for them? 

     

    Really, so using 1st round picks on Reinhart and Lehner is the same as the players Beane has drafted? And Murray didn't blow up the salary cap, he filled it with underperforming players. The proper comparison to Murray is Whaley. I'm not a huge Sabres fan but even I understand that.

    Sammy was 3 first round picks, so it was 5.

     

    Oh man my favorite argument of all time... I also just remembered we got an extra 1st round pick and still got White. So we used 2 drafts worth of 1st rounders on 3 franchise players. Whaley used 4 and got nothing. I can't believe he still has his fans around here.

    Beane will be fired after the 2019 season but probably not sooner.

     

    We've nailed our early draft picks so far, albeit it is very early. White, Dawkins, Allen, Edmunds, and Phillips look like franchise players at this point. Again it is still early but our only outright bust so far is Zay Jones. We did all this while trading down for another 1st round pick. Free agency hasn't been as consistent but Poyer and Hyde were home runs, Marcus Murphy looks good, and I don't know why everyone is complaining about Lotulelei because our run defense looked much improved today.

     

    I really don't know what people expected this year. All our holes filled with experienced players in 2 offseasons?? When is the last time we had consecutive good drafts?

    ?

    Yeah, Beane's doing great. By next season after they dump McCoy and clay they won't even be able to beat the top college team.

     

     

    Whaley left them with a huge mess. It's taking them 2 seasons just to clean it up, and next they have to restock the shelves. Anyone who thought this team was close was kidding themselves. We had very little talent and a salary cap filled with underperforming players. So far it looks like we have a franchise CB, QB, LT, and MLB. We didn't have a single franchise player when they took over other than Kyle Williams on his last legs. This year we lost Wood and Incognito to retirement. What did you honestly expect?

    Anyone miss Whaley yet? Or are we good with the personnel direction of the team.

     

     

    4 1st round picks on:

    EJ Manuel

    Sammy Watkins

    Shaq Lawson

     

    vs

     

    3 1st round picks on:

    Tre'Davious White

    Josh Allen

    Tremaine Edmunds

     

    Nope I don't miss Whaley at all. There is a reason he doesn't even work for an NFL front office anymore.

  9. The big knock on Allen coming out was his accuracy but I haven't seen it. He's usually hitting receivers in the hands or the chest. The one thing he needs to learn is you can't always run away from NFL defenders but that is not a huge deal at all. I'll give our line some credit too, the pass blocking has been better. If they can keep that up I'm cool with Allen starting the rest of the season.
