"You up?"

He was the QB coach to the league MVP, Newton's best years came with Dorsey. As a QB coach, Allen also had his best seasons production wise. He failed, but again he was a legit candidate. Nope, we as fans said that. Whatever positional group he oversaw, had stellar seasons. Dabs was NOT a proven OC, fans here hated Frazier. HATED. Time makes us forget, I see. Right, so it doesn't exist. I'm not, by any means, saying we don't have major issues with the coaching staff, roster construction, and cap management. I'm not opposing changes now or in the future. The "hot takes from the hip" captain hindsight where lots, I mean lots, of context is ignored or dismissed is just plain inaccurate though.

Harry Potter!?

I think it's after the season. Bottom line fact is we are 6-3 with 8 games left and the division leader is 7-2. Nothing will happen unless the wheels fall off, and my gut says Beane is first.

Games missed is a pretty misleading stat as well, he was active for games where he had a significantly reduced role due to being hurt.

Do we have multiple guys named Josh Allen?

Ken Dorsey was a proven legit QB coach who worked with Allen for a few seasons. How was he the wrong hire? I get it didn't work out, but in no way was there obvious warning signs. Joe Brady was a bit different. BIG TIME college experience, some OC experience. Again, what huge signs were there that Brady would be a bad hire? The fact he'd been fired before? That will eliminate a large amount of prospects from the pool. Bobby Babs - The saying around here was "everything he touches turns to gold." Remember? Everyone loved that hire after he had a multiple, legitimate outstanding seasons as a positional coach. Learn the ropes under McD, who is a great defensive coach. Ya'll are acting like these are 3rd rate hires from the Cleveland Browns. I would love for anyone, someone, to find a quote from McD where he says he wants to be a run first, conservative passing game. Especially considering 2 of his last 3 OCs were highly aggressive in the passing game.

Impressive. Everything you just said outside the last 2 paragraphs is wrong.

Milano is our lightest and shortest.

Hard Knocks had nothing to do with Beane's choices the last few years.

Real talk though, commentators are regularly pointing out consistent tells that the offense has. Under center and/or no Kincaid - likely a run. Shotgun and/or Kincaid - likely a pass.

Honestly, I think flipping him to Milano's role next year will be fine. Those two are a LOT alike.

Worth mentioning how bad the DTs have been is playing a huge role in that as well. All the LBers have been bad, Williams has also taken a step back.

It's really not. His cap hit is under 1.8% until 2027, (3.3%) and by that time we can release him for huge savings. Like nearly 7m. His contract, honestly, is phenomenal for the team.

Re-signing Bernard wasn't a head scratcher. He should take over the WLB next year. He's just a bad fit at MLB. His run defense has been poor this season, but Larry O was the only DT who isn't a washed up p-squad vet or rookie until DQ returned today. His pass coverage has been fine.

I'm struggling to find the silver lining. Gabe Davis and Josh Palmer don't move the needle a ton, but they are the only incoming reinforcements. On the defensive side, we have no reinforcements. Maybe just who's left, get and stay healthy?

McD isn't signing players.

Did anyone see what happened to Landon Jackson?

60% scheme, but Coleman/Shavers suck.

They absolutely should not, unless it's a depth, vet minimum "try to earn a spot" contract. He's spent most of his time in Buffalo with the trainers. Enough with these signings.

Statistically he's a phenomenal OC.

I think there was more to the Diggs situation to that. Everyone eats is over complained about, it was just a tag line. The target distributions speak for themselves about who eats.

The one with the worst resume (Daboll) wound up being the best. I have major concerns over Brady's passing attack, but maybe he's just trying to utilize the tools he has?

It'll be good to have Palmer and Davis, question is if it'll be enough. Bills are a 50.5% run team and very close to the LOS when they do pass.

The Beane Masterpiece: Top highest cap hits this season - Taron Johnson, who's been mediocre and was declining last season. - Epenesa, your DE3 but planned DE4. - Spencer Brown, money well spent - Curtis Samuel, enough said. - McGovern, well spent - DQ Jones, 2 years removed from elite play - Dawkins, well spent but north of 30 - Milano, enough said - Dawson Knox, enough said - QB1 That is a ton of money just wasted.
