Beane ***** the bed with the Knox and Miller contracts and now the Bills have to sleep in it for a couple years, he's not the genius many here make him out to be. Side note, he's also not the great drafter people make him out to be either. Getting Josh Allen was a big win and granted them job security, but the rest is not so impressive.

Have you really eaten horsemeat? I'm thinking/hoping this game will be a reprieve.

The Bills have not maximized having Josh Allen at all. After drafting Allen the very first thing should have been building a really good line and getting him great wrs to throw to. (They got him one good wr and after 5 years they still have a weak, below average line). The defense should have been improved AFTER accomplishing that. Having Josh Allen, the Bills offensive philosophy should be getting as many possessions and scoring as many points as possible. To do that you need an aggressive attacking defense that sometimes gets burned but gets off the field relatively quickly one way or another, putting the ball back in Allen's hands to score more points. Not a bend but don't break d that allows teams to keep the ball away from Allen and eat up the clock. Also, what's the point of blitzing when all the dbacks are playing 7yrds off and the qb can just throw it to a wide open receiver underneath the coverage? Beane and McD have basically done the complete opposite of what I've just described. They have wasted so much cap and draft capital on the defense while Allen has to scramble around behind a weak line and carry the offense. The running game will always be inconsistent and weak behind a line like that, regardless of the rbs. Evidently these guys can't see that. Add in McDs complete lack of situational awareness, clock management skill, and leadership skills (blaming others instead of being accountable, etc. ), it's easy to see that these guys have failed Allen and the rest of the team.

Dorsey and McD are both the problem. This is not just Dorsey's offense. I would bet that McDs influence on it is detrimental. His obsession with 'balance' and 'complementary football' has ruined the rhythm and flow. McD should be coaching a small college or high school team. His clap clap, slogan, catchphrase style would be a better fit there. He could gain valuable experience like learning how to manage the clock, timeouts, knowing the situation and responding appropriately. Watching him on the sideline, especially in crucial, stressful moments, it is obvious he is out of his league and the Bills are disadvantaged because of it.

Yes Being balanced is so much more important than scoring points.

Just more confirmation that he is a dummy who cannot articulate an intelligent response to anything. Slogans, catchphrases, blaming others and claps are his go to moves. He is ***** clueless and often looks that way on the sideline. He needs to be fired. I wanted him gone after he blamed others and offered no explanations for the 13 secs. debacle. He is not a good leader and is not smart enough.

He's not very smart unfortunately. The punt at the end of the half was mindnumbingly stupid. On top of the dumb decision not to Hail Mary, even though the clock was started before the play and time would expire before the play clock, he was actually going to punt the ball. Fortunately he didn't get the ball snapped before time ran out. He is simply not smart enough to be an NFL head coach. The close-up of his embarrassed, flustered and confused face after he lost the ill-advised challenge said it all.

Whether it was a catch or not (I think it wasn't), it's a terrible challenge unless you can clearly see that he caught it; especially in that situation. I think McD tends to panic when pressed to make quick decisions, you can see it on his face

That's the spirit!

The thread title reads like a Jeopardy question. That's all I got, carry on.

Larry Scott and his PAC 12 network completely destroyed the conference. He lived like a king on their dime and then walked away with $$$millions more. Meanwhile nobody watches the PAC 12 network because it's hardly even available. Scumbag The idiot presidents that gave him so much for nothing deserve some blame as well.

Did you see the 3rd down spot at the end of Texas vs Houston game Saturday? Completely inexplicable

Eagle have AJ Brown, Devontae Smith at wr and still go out and get Julio Jones; the Bills think Gabe Davis is a good wr2. Enough said

What??? Kincaid ceiling is so far beyond Knox it is not even close. Kincaid will thrive with more targets, I think they haven't targeted him enough and hopefully that is about to change.

I'm not turning on him, I've always thought he has poor technique catching the ball. His new contract is 13 per for the next 4 years, laughable for his talent set. He is avg at best and benefits from Allen being his qb, same as Davis. Let's hope the Bills don't re-sign him to a ridiculous contract as well.

Ridiculous statement; regardless of who's paying, the team has a salary cap. Money wasted is money that could've/should've been better spent elsewhere. Maybe the oline, LB, CB, WR2 ? 13 million probably could have bought 2 good players at those positions.

You need an above average o line to do that, not just a couple tight ends. The Bills have never had a good oline for Josh Allen. He doesn't need one evidently. Why does he need a clean pocket when he runs around so well? Besides, the d line is so much more important and still needs work. Maybe another new RB will fix everything. P.S. I couldn't find the sarcasm font. Cook looked good yesterday, one of the few bright spots imo.

Brown has consistently been one of the worst starting rts in the league since day 1 three years ago, it's laughable that he is still starting on a team with SB aspirations. The oline should have been a top priority after drafting Allen, period.

Keep running him up the middle, he's a powerhouse. I had a bad feeling on the first drive when they ran Cook up the middle for little gain on 1st and 2nd down, then Spencer Brown gets knocked flying backwards into Allen. Cook is not a 3 down back, he hits the ground whenever he's touched; and once again Brown should not be a starter. Stinker all around, Allen played like ***** but the coaches and line stunk it up as well.

Ugh Beane said he drafted Basham in the 2nd rnd even though he had just taken Rousseau in the 1st, because "he just couldn't pass up his talent". Meanwhile Humphrey has been the best center since he entered the league and he went the very next pick to the arch rival Chiefs, completing their oline overhaul in a single offseason. They are still thanking Beane for the gift. Morse has been in decline since he joined the team imo, the Chiefs let him go at the perfect time and haven't missed a beat. I pounded the table for Humphrey and actually stopped watching the draft after Basham was picked. What a wasted pick and opportunity. The Bills line has basically sucked the last few years and will almost certainly be mediocre to below average again. Torrance looks like a good pick so far and should help them improve, but more talent is needed. The tackle group beyond Dawkins is one of the worst in the league, but the Bills are all good and ready to go. Luckily having a good offensive line isn't very important and the Bills have been winning SBs without one. Also luckily, this is the last time I will rehash my disgust with the Basham pick. P.S. for those saying the Bills had Morse and didn't need a center, Humphrey at 320 lbs is versatile and could play either guard position (according to his draft profile) until replacing Morse(which should have happened by now). The Bills were desperately in need at guard at the time.

Bills with at least 10 wins? I'd make that bet any day, I highly doubt Conor Orr would put his money on a 9 win season. He's just looking for attention.

Not too bad for an old guy whose legs are shot😉

He's a vet backup/situational back at this stage. I think he can adequately fill that role for this season and bring knowledge and experience for the young ones. I like the fact that he has fumbled 3 times in his last 1000 carries and lost none of them. Not a single lost fumble in the last 7 seasons

Ran 4.38 40 at his pro day.. He's 33 now but big and slow is not an accurate description He had 170 carries 750 yds 4.5yds per carry and 6 tds last season with very high grades from pff (8th out of 60 backs). He looked good whenever I saw him play.

Jones and Johnson are good restructure targets.
