He's a Safety?
That's a confusing move. We lose Ja'Marcus Ingram and are now down to just 3 Boundary CB's, and are one injury away from Dane Jackson - and they fill that spot with a player at a different position.
Odd.
Glad to see that they put Slay on the "Did Not Report" list. Let him rot there. I kinda hope they go after his bonus money too (and they can).
Maybe they are picturing a 3 safety look with Poyer in the box more. IIRC, they ran that look a few years ago and it helped the run defense.

Just wait. Beane is soooo gonna make Fetch happen.

He's already at Slay's house laughing.

If he was drafted as a development project, and I’m not saying he was, is idiotic. This team is trying to compete for a championship NOW. Draft players you think can contribute to that. Worry about the future next year.Joe B repeated many times that the Jackson pick was always more about 2026 than it was this year. I do believe he's correct, as Beane has many times picked for needs that are projected 2 years in advance.
On the one hand, I agree that pick could have been used wiser to help this year. There is no argument there. What I would offer is that with both Bosa and AJE scheduled to be free agents, it wasn't the worst plan. Honestly, had he stayed healthy and had a couple nice plays to help us this year as well...that would have been terrific.

On the one hand, it's not really applicable because those teams are not this team. Different teams, different years.
On the other hand, the Bills have often gotten smacked on defense on the first couple drives before they make adjustments.
A fast start by Cincinnati wouldn't shock me. As long as we can keep up out of the gate we should be ok.

Totally different levels of tampering by Miami. I dont think Beane should've done anything outside of the rules, but I also think that type of thing does happen more often than an OWNER calling a HEAD COACH to all meet FACE-TO-FACE with a PLAYER under contract with a different team regarding a way to push him off his current team, join the ownership ranks, and then come back as player/owner.
A GM talking to an agent about a number of players and then casually asking "So I take it your guy Slay is looking to get his way back to Philly?" without even mentioning Buffalo being interested could probably fly under all the radar.
Yes, if you NEED more of an apples to appleS COMPARISON to feel BETTER about YOURSELF: Atlanta Falcons & San Francisco 49ers (2024-2025 Season): Both teams forfeited fifth-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft for violating anti-tampering rules by contacting players/coaches not yet free to negotiate.
Point is it's AGAINST the rules and you NEVER really know what the league will come out with for punishment. Was SLAY worth the RISK of losing ANYTHING?

Anything to keep Beane from drafting in the 3rd round 😁
And if Beane tampered, there's a chance that 3rd round pick may have been his first selection of the draft. A draft we need to have picks to fill in the many holes we do have and will be opened after the year.
Tampering for a washed up CB really wasn't worth the risk.

I know it's bad business for player and agent relationships but I'd let Slay brew for a while on this one. Not saying he can't eventually get his way but make him sit another week or two.
The one thing I don't buy is "teams are not allowed to talk to the player or agent during the waiver period". Tampering happens hourly in the NFL and all sports. There are ways around that. I don't mind getting Slay but the whole idea that we had no idea what would happen is BS
Just curious, would you feel the same had Beane tampered, been caught and had the Bills punished by being losing day 1 or day 2 draft picks like what happened with Miami a couple years back?
Really, if there was any "tampering" it should have come from Slay or his agent leaking that he would really only go to a certain place or retire. Rosenhaus misplayed this more than anyone and it's going to cost his client game checks.

Congratulations. You hit almost every square in the "I really am just regurgitating what other people say and have no idea what I'm actually referring to" bingo board.
Really a spectacular job!

This is kind of silly isn't it. Last game was over two years ago at Cincinnati. Game was 21-7 at halftime. Bengals scored three points in second half in 24-18 win. Really different teams now.
People are scarred from the 2022 playoff game (in January 2023 at home. Bills were emotionally spent after all the weather issues that year and, of course, what happened to Hamlin. And after the game Burrow was smoking cigars and acting like an a-hole, so the PTSD is understandable. Hopefully players that were on the team then remember. But this Bengals defense is a shadow of what it was two years ago, and none of this is predictive of what will happen Sunday IMO. But I could be wrong. 😎
This is a reasonable take with sound logic.
12 minutes ago, Mikie2times said:It’s not a prediction post, the Bengals are certainly different. I don’t think the Bengals offense is materially worse and despite a week to prepare for all three games, we couldn’t force an incomplete pass. So yes, it will be interesting to see how the first drive goes from my perspective.
I think that offense is worse. They still have a crap OL. They still have some nice targets to throw to. But Joe Mixon of a few years ago > Chase Brown. I don't think we need to focus on the run as much this go around.

True. But he's got that really cool spinning throw he made in warm ups.

I think in the Bills first game he must have infected the team with what ever it is he has that has caused his injuries because the Bills just can't seem to keep any one healthy this season .
I would tend to agree, but our issues started in TC. Maybe we infected him?

He'll be back. They always come back

This, IMO is not a bad look for Beane at all. A player was on waivers and he claimed him.
He can't help that Slay had his heart set on Philadelphia. And from what I see, a team can't contact the player or agent and tamper while a guy is on waivers. Y'all would have lost it if Beane did that and it cost the Bills a day two pick.
Slay wanted to play the system and got played. And even if his agent tries to play hardball and not deal with the Bills next year as "punishment"...it's a poor look on the agent. If the Bills are high bidder for a player he represents, he would be leaving money for himself and his client on the table. Dumb move.
If the Eagles wanted Slay bad enough, they should have given something up at the deadline for him. Maybe they tried and he wasn't available then. But in any event he can report to Buffalo and play ball ..or sit home. Bills should easily be able to recoup his pay if he doesn't report.

Yet his team fails to give him the rock more than 20 times per game. Since October 16 he's had two 100 yards rushing games, the standard of good running games. He doesn't scare me. It's possible he runs all over us but like our chance running over their defense more.
More important, every play they turn around and hand him the ball it's on less time they are throwing to Chase or Higgins. I HOPE they try and run the ball

Fans always look for big name former head coaches to be DC’s/OC’s. I don’t hate that idea but sometimes it gets ridiculousAgree.
At some point in a HC's career they pretty much graduate from having to take a coordinator position. I believe, it's only happened once before. Off the top of my head the only guy I can think of that took that step down was Gary Kubiak. And I believe that had some to do with health issues.
Once a guy coaches a team to a Super Bowl win, doors fly open. From being a talking head on pregame shows, to consultant jobs with teams.

Right now, I have Rams vs Broncos. Lot of time left and things can change. I think 8-10 teams have a realistic shot

Will the Bills Win Out? I think they will.
They showed me something in the Steelers game.
No. And that's not a negative about the Bills. There's just way too much parity in the NFL this year.
2 hours ago, Jrb1979 said:The same thing you saw against Tampa. How did they follow that up?
I think they finish 10-7 and need help to make it. They have been too inconsistent all season to think they are about to go on a run.
Yeah, but see....4 years ago....

Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Jackson*
All still in the hunt this year. It kind of surprises me that a class this good is still waiting for its first SB appearance, now nearing the end of their collective 32 seasons of NFL football. For comparison, the great Class of 1983 (Elway, Kelly, Marino) saw their first SB with Marino, then a couple with Elway, then already had one with Kelly by the end of their 8th season. (Yeah, and zero wins, but still.) And that's despite Kelly losing time to the USFL.
Right now I'm still sticking with Josh. I think the Bills patch it together and come back strong in the playoffs this year and the next couple years. But I can see a really good argument for any of the others too, particularly Darnold (that defense) and Lamar (those injuries won't last forever). Mayfield? I think he's a really good QB on a very average team.
*Josh Rosen exempted; he joins Todd Blackledge as a footnote to NFL history.
You are seriously underestimating the chances of Josh Rosen coming back and leading the team that originally drafted him.. Arizona...to Super Bowl Glory. There will be Hallmark movies made about it

We've played some really bad pass defenses and have still looked like a pretty bad passing offense.

It would. Helps our pass game as well. That defense is completely different when he's not there. This would be huge for us

Tomlin is totally stale. He won 1 SB with Big Ben, AB, and L. Bell, along with a great defense. That does not scream "elite" and "untouchable". Only the doofy Rooney's would continue to employ him and treat him like Lombardi or something. Heck, even Bill Bellicheck was shown the door after winning 6 SBs. Tomlin needs to go. And yeah, you can fire a guy like him, and you should. Why can't you.
That's what Tomlin and Harbaugh (and perhaps McD) are best at. Culture reset pros. Nothing wrong with that. These guys rarely get the max when they have talented rosters, but they setup a system that another coach could come in and build off of.
Wonder what happened of the rumors regarding Brady (OC) to PSU? Perhaps he is one of the next options? If so, and McDaniel got canned, he'd be a good OC here.
It's funny. Tomlin has done a lot (or all) of the draft selections, and Pittsburgh's roster is really bad now.
I agree with all your points, except the bolded.
If McDaniel gets canned, he will, IMO prove to be a horrendous OC on his own. He basically brought Shanny's system with him and added speed. Once teams figured out how to limit the offense, he has had no idea how to evolve.
He frequently gets locked into one mindset when calling plays and often abandons the run, despite his most dangerous offensive weapon being his RB. Not ideal when our best offensive player this year is our RB, and we tend to play more than a few games in bad weather every year.
Add to that the Shannahan system he would likey run isn't really what Josh excels at. It's more designed for mediocre QBs with weaker yet accurate passing styles. Tua, Purdy, Mac Jones. Guy that get the ball out and don't go off script. That's not Allen and I frankly don't think McDaniel has the ability to tailor an offense around him.
