Also with MA: Correct me if my paraphrasing or memory is incorrect, but I believe he originally told the team he was NOT at the party or didn’t have any kind of relations with the girl. Both proven to be a lie. MA getting cut was more his own doing than the “woke virtue media blah blah blah” as others claim.

Beane repeatedly said they’re letting police and NFL take the lead on investigation, mentioning it’s their job. In my opinion that sets the stage for the team to deflect backlash to the NFL and Texas DA if no charges are filed (meaning no suspension and likely no release). Beane definitely sounded like he wasn’t expecting any sort of discipline from the league.

Y’all know Lenny is basically washed up, right?

Can someone pass the cheese? Goes good with all this whine.

For sure, it was a great pickup but a back injury caught up with him (or happened here). I have positive memories of Big Play Clay.

I think what I meant was if McD wants player A and Beane wants player B, the whole scouting team will discuss it and break it down, rather than Beane just overruling them all. He has the power to dictate it, but I don’t think he does.

I’ll name some highlights: 2017 and 2018 was light, but any success we were going to have with washed up Tyrod and rookie Josh was through the defense and run game, I assume we can both agree on that. 2019: Signed John Brown and Cole Beasley. Took a gamble with Ty Nseke who wound up being the swing tackle. Signed Frank Gore to be the #2. Tyler Kroft to be the 1a TE. Signed Mitch Morse. Only defensive FA addition was Kevin Johnson, depth guy. After going Ed Oliver in round one, they went OT (Cody ford), RB (Devin Singletary), and TE (Dawson Knox) in the second and third rounds. 2019 was an offense heavy offseason. 2020: Far more balanced after a very offensive heavy 2019. Team signed 6 defensive players (Mario Addison and AJ Klein only starters), but still added starting OG Quinton Spain, starting RT Daryl Williams, RB Twain Jones for depth. OH and they traded for that Stephon Diggs dude. 2 starting OL and a superstar WR. Went DE in the draft in round 2, then RB (Zach Moss), WR (Gabe Davis, and QB (Jake Fromm). Then Kicker. 2021: Added a high profile backup QB in Mitch Turbiski, #2 WR in Emmanuel Sanders, Matt Brida for RB depth, and Pro-Bowl Bobby Hart. They had a bunch of depth re-signings for both sides of the ball, but did ink Matt Milano. In the draft they went DE in both rounds, but added the starting RT in the third. 2022: Added high profile OG Roger Staffold who was TKO’d by Father Time by week 4, but it was viewed as a great pickup at the time. Added Jameson Crowder who was also viewed as a great signing. They added Tim Settle (wooo), Daquan Jones, and Von Miller to the defense. As you can see, the Bills have spent major money and made some major investment in the offense around Allen. This “Defense Dominated” narrative is false when you break things down. Most FA periods the offense, in terms of starters, has dominated.

From what I understand listening to folks who watch and break down the All22 professionally, McD has done a good job (gasp!) minimizing his weakness and putting him in situations that suit his strengths. So yes, he has been very good this year.

Dawson Knox, statistically, is one of the greatest TEs we’ve ever had. Hoping he regains his 2021 and 2022 form once he’s back from injury.

You sure did skip over plenty of other drafting/signings from the last 5 years that don’t fit your narrative 👌🏻👌🏻

I just want to point out it’s never been confirmed WHO sent those texts. There are official, legal documents with the who/what/where/why/when of the original incident. Yes MA was released due to the massive distraction it was causing, some of it his own doing. He lied to the team regarding that night. Your opinion that it was fueled by anything else is just that.

He also lied to the club which didn’t help his cause.

Correct, to say McD ultimately meddles is ludicrous. He’s unpopular, so now he’s magically responsible for every single issue 🤦🏻 Agreed, and honestly we are coming off our best OL season in years, I want all 5 starters back. Maybe tack 1 more year on to Morse’s deal to spread the cap hit a little.

And Torrance. Bills needed OL help more than they needed WR help.

Just stop. There is no proof to this “McDictator ” nonsense that leads to his meddling being the root cause of every single issue. McD doesn’t have more or less say over the draft than Beane does, they’re a team along with the rest of the scouts.

I think Dorsey had a to of option routes, something Dabs brought in year 2 or 3. WRs and QBs need to make the correct read at the same time. I’m sure there is more too it than that as well.

Yay another ‘our guy is worse than their guy’ thread. The Dorsey offense was notoriously difficult to pick up, especially for QBs. Kyle Allen has been a decent #2 in his career. With Brady making changes I’d be curious to see if Allen looks better next summer. Id resign him and let him fight it out with a rookie.

It’s hidden behind a pay wall. Is this one of those “our source close to the situation speculates that…” situations?

If what Brady continues to show us how good of an OC he is, I fully expect him to be our HC in 2025 unless McD wins a SB in 2024. I agree, it’s worded like it’s trying to hide the fact it’s all speculation.

Who are the officials for the game? That will play a serious role in the outcome, and I am not joking.

I think Benford is a lock to replace Poyer at SS. I’m going to speak Elam at FS into existence lol Not to start, to compete. Taron Johnson to FS would extend his career and he would be elite.

NFL trying to push the Eagles so bad, they must have all these license deals on standby they can’t wait to cash in on.

Again, leave the whine tour for one of the other many, many threads. This thread is for flower giving to some player development than has gone under the radar this season. — Can we also talk about how everything Bobby Babich touches turns to absolute gold?

He won’t be released until the NFL decides if they are going to suspend him. All reports they are dragging their feet on the Von situation.

True, I just wonder if zone techniques and fundamentals for CB is different than for FS? Maybe? It’s a stretch I know.
