I think McD is a pretty good coach. Has he made mistakes? Yes. The Bills have had some injuries the last 2 seasons which have not helped. Teams that win the SB usually have some luck regarding injuries. I don't think the Bills roster has been as good as needed. Not enough high draft picks on offense. Too many high picks on defense. Too much FA money on defense. Not enough FA money on offense. I think the team's roster philosophy is flawed. You have Allen and Diggs on offense and now 1 season with Kincaid. Get more wideouts for Allen who can get open and catch the F'n ball. Why is this so hard?
Coach should get some credit for snatching the AFCE from the Fins with the wins down the stretch.

"No" on the chicken dinner.
On the JAGs, maybe you should. Dawson Knox just took a $6.5M salary cut in exchange for future guarantees
That took him from being the #5 paid TE in average value, right behind Kittle and Kelsey, to being maybe 17 or 18 in average value this season. This past season, he was something like 37th in receiving YPG. Now I don't think Knox is "JAG", but since football is a game of results, those are in fact "JAG" numbers, and those plus the salary haircut don't argue "dude other teams want to give up first round draft capital for.
I'm not sure who you meant by Jackson, if you meant Dane, he's a FA and has already signed with the Panthers.
Oh, Geesh now I'm shaking since Beane was involved in drafting Fat Kelvin.
You’re right. I don’t deserve chicken dinner. I was just toying with the idea of getting into top 10 back in January. Now I’m intrigued about how to get into 10-20 range to get either Verse or Latu for some must needed rush on Mahomey. With the haircut for Knox it seems Bills wanna keep him, but his contract now is more attractive to package to move up. Maybe Shakir, Shorter or Isabella, and Knox, to move up to get a difference maker on D. With that, I win the chicken dinner.

Sure. Because the lasting image of Tom Brady in big games isn't taking what the defense gives him in crunch time. It's not setting up game winning field goals or red zone TD's....... it's those deep TD passes to prevent defense's from tightening up on him in the red zone.
How have Mahomes last two SB wins ended? With a PI call and a short TD pass........both in deep in opponents territory. Not with hoping to complete the longest air yards pass of the season to a particular receiver(as would have been the case with Shakir).
You can disagree with it all you want but the play wasn't there to be had. The coverage was good and the pressure from Jones should have told Allen to take the first down. But he threw it anyway.
I love having Josh Allen as my QB. And if he just provides tons of fun moments over the next 8-10 years that's fine with me. I'm not a finish-line fan trying to get one SB win before I die. This is entertainment. Jim Kelly had greater flaws and I loved having him as QB too. But if the question is if Josh Allen is doing everything he can to secure a SB win..........I know that answer has been no.
Good points Bdb. Who’s more like the Goat with prep, study, dedication, execution and situational decision making — Mahomey or JA17?

You seem to be implying that JA never makes a bad throw, or never makes a bad decision on where to go with his throws, which is nonsense. He certainly has *some room* for improvements.
Agree. Better WRs would help him improve too.

Unless this question is put to JA17 in say, July, AND he answers it honestly, there’s no possible way anybody knows the answer to this question.
OK, maaaayyyyyybeee his Mom or Dad would know, or some other close family member, but even that’s not a sure thing.
I definitely think he has some room for improvement, but I’m not sure that doing anything in the offseason will help him make better decisions as to where/who to throw the ball to in the season.
Doubt there’s a correlation between his offseason and WR drops and route running and speed and contested catches.

Congratulations! You've become this year's Lucky Winner of the "I believe these guys on our roster are JAGS, thus we should trade them...and because they are JAGS, other teams will be salivating to swap our late 1st for their top-10 1st!"
The Bills used two 2nd round picks to move from #12 to #7 for Allen. They had previously used Cordy Glenn (who played 2 more years for Cincy) to move from #21 to #12. Are you honestly suggesting that as we stand today, teams would see Knox and Jackson as better than a LT and 2 2nd round picks?
As we stand today, no, because we got Samuel now. I don’t think those two are seen as JAGS. At 28, I don’t think we should go WR. I would like to see us move up for Turner, Verse or Latu. Get a WR in round 2. BTW, do I still win a chicken dinner?

Somewhere between picks 4-8 Roger walks up to the microphone and announces: We have a trade. Buffalo has traded (a small boatload of picks) to (team to be named) and is now on the clock. And we get one of the top 3 rated WRs in the draft.
Beane and McD have said they need to get more explosive. And they’ll do that by getting more explosive with their moves to draft an explosive WR for Josh.
No way old man. At 28, Roger will step to the mic and say the Buffalo Bills have selected Troy Franklin, WR, University of Oregon.

I think the Henry tank is on E so I’m not as scared of it
And not much thread left on those tires and he’s leaking oil and gears are slipping and his shocks are shot, but don’t get in his way if you’re under 220 lbs.
-
If any of the top WRs are there at 20-27, Beane better make a move. The 20-27 teams (Steelers, Fins, Eagles, Tex, Boys, Pack, Bucs, Cards) have other needs and might be willing to fall back to 28 for a 4th. Gotta get a Metcalf type.

Sounds good to me.
Much better than "it's hard to win in this league" or something like that.
I believe this coach can get us there. I’m sure that coaches for SF (taking ball in OT), BLT, HOU, MIA, etc. etc. were criticized for mistakes in the big games since they were losers. KC coach stepped into off-season with all the glory and no criticism. It happens every year with the guy holding the Lombardi hardware.

That's the point. The Chiefs made a concerted effort to prioritize the defense the past two offseasons and immediately got an elite defense that elevated its level of play in the playoffs. The Bills have prioritized defense over offense every year that Allen has been here and not once have they gotten elite defensive play that lasted through the playoffs.
I do credit front office for getting some players during the year to help us win the division. Did KC or any team lose the likes of Milano, Von and Tre?? Even with those losses, we were just a couple plays from beating KC, and would’ve won the next two.

You lost me at McMahon/Ditka….also, this idea that Josh isn’t assertive is not in any way factually correct. Just because he doesn’t lose his #### on his teammates on the sidelines doesn’t mean he isn’t assertive. That’s not his leadership style. Yelling at your teammates doesn’t make you a good leader, people have to get that thinking out of their heads
I’m not talking about yelling on sidelines. Several of those SB QBs were not yellers, but they set the tone for their teams, along with their coaches. Jim Kelly did some yelling on sidelines but his leadership was strongest during the week. Again, the coach and QB have to set the standard. It doesn’t happen on every team, but you don’t get the Lombardi with leaders who don’t engage.

Basketball, golf and tennis you can make the mental toughness argument to a degree, but in football it’s not a thing because the game requires so many other moving parts besides your QBs mentality to win games.
Football is the ultimate team sport.
Agree Julian but in football, if you got a mentally strong coach and QB, then you gotta chance (eg- Brady/Belichick, Montana/Walsh, Bradshaw/Knoll, Starr/Lombardi, McMahon/Ditka, Eli/Coughlin). Most SB winners have this determination with the two main guys. They weren’t trying to win most congeniality. Eli Manning is maybe closest to Josh in temperament, but he had those steely eyes. Now that Josh is becoming one of the older ones on the team, he has to bring some assertive leadership.

LA that’s what I’m saying too. Andy Reid made the likes of AJ Feeley and Kevin Kolb look like serviceable NFL QBs. The guy is a master of the QB position get a guy like Patrick and you see what he does even in his Philly days he pretty much dominated the NFC with Donovan Mcnabb.
Patrick would still be great wherever he played but give Andy Josh from the beginning does anyone believe Allen wouldn’t have at least one Lombardi nowIf Josh had Kelce he would have a couple!

Trade Allen for Mahomes does what exactly? Qb is not the reason Buffalo hasn't won a Superbowl in the last 4 years.
Chiefs found a willing partner to trade to 10. McDermott’s ties with Reid might have factored in. Wouldn’t you help a guy who probably put in a good recommendation for you to get HC job? Many other NFL coaches might have passed. In hindsight, I do agree that you don’t make that trade to a powerhouse in your own conference … but did most coaches know what we now know about Mahomey??

Moderators: Can we create a sub forum for fire the coach. It’s worthy of its own sub forum.

If the draft doesn’t go well, next year could be down year and we miss playoffs. However, with our QB and division we’re in, we’ll make playoffs 9 in the next decade. The coach will be our coach for a long time.

Looking at our division, the window will be open for us for a decade. Fins are the only concern.

Diggs and Allen definitely fell out and it happened in season in 2022. I was told that by two people independently of each other LAST offseason.
There was a point where the two were barely on speaking terms. I think they managed to piece some sort of relationship back together for the actual season in 2023. I wasn't told that but just looking on as a fan. But I don't think it was close to how tight they were before and I am not sure it ever will be.
Probably same thing happened in Minny. Guy is basically a big hearted (loves the kids) and very emotional. Sometimes big hearted people are temperamental. The bromance part is that JA17 is closer to others and that doesn’t sit well with SD14.

Can you do blue helmet with blue charging Buffalo and bold white outline?? Don’t think the red Buffalo is what we want.

You are TSW scholar of the day.
I know some blue helmets have been offered but the blue charging Buffalo needs a bold white outline to make it pop. I like the idea of a blue helmet but have yet to see it done right. Just spitballing.

Damn we have enough 6th and 7th round picks.. but whatever, it leaves room to take enough sleepers.
28. Xavier Legette- WR Gamecocks. A tough choice between him, Brian Thomas and Troy Franklin. But he's big, explosive, fast, can jump and can make the contested catch. He comes with some risk, the big one in that he only had one year of production. There may be legit reasons. He needed a QB, a revolving door of OC's, and didn't play WR until college. Taking the risk that he blossoms into a DJ Metcalf or Mike Evans. We need a deep threat...and he is a deep threat.
60. Sedrik Van Pran C- Goergia. The successor to Morse, who we got lucky with this year, as he didn't have an injury for the first time in forever. Van Pran is as solid as they come. Im not waiting to take someone in the later rounds.
99. Malik Mustapha - S Wake Forest. Another risky pick..but he is fast, and plays fast. Short at 5'9" but stout at 210. He's aggressive, but that is a 2 edged sword for him. Here's hoping he can be coached up a bit. Strong as hell too.
128 Javon Solomon -Edge/olb Troy. Small school, 250lb Edge rusher who runs a 4.5 40. 17 sacks last year and 45 pressures.
158 Jha'Quon Jackson - WR Tulane. With all of these picks...I was planning on taking another WR. Watching the Senior Bowl 1 on 1 reps I really liked what I saw. It reminded me of watching reps 2 years ago...and watching Shakir win all of his 1 on 1's, or watching Tank Dell last year. Although he wasn't leaving DB jock straps all over the field like Dell did last year... he was getting by people and getting open regularly.
161 Jordan Jefferson DT LSU. Another athletic freak. 325 lbs. has a 34 inch vertical, supposedly ran a 4.5 40 and is as strong as a bull. At minimum he can be a run stuffer...but he can also be more, much more.
197 Jay Stanley S Southern Miss. Not the athletic freak that Mustapha is..but maybe more solid of a pass defender. Worth a pick at this stage of the draft.
201 Nehmiah Pritchett CB Auburn. One thing that stands out with him...his QB rating when targeted.
2019 85.4
2020 48.6
2021 83.4
2022 72.0
2023 54.8
205. KT Leveston OT Kansas St. Big as a house, at 337, could probably stand to lose a few pounds. BUt moves people in the run game and has gotten better in pass pro.
245. Devin Leary QB Kentucky. A near Mr. Irrelevant. Time for Borkc Purdy II.
Hope van Pran is still there at 60.
Diggs trade aftermath...what this means for the offense, draft, other WR's still here...
