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

Maybe. But we might put 35 on their defense by halftime too

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.
That's why I said "help" and not "heal".

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.

Take that automatic win off of your calendar.
Shouldn't be an automatic win, period. Their defense is legit good and Judkins is a superstar in the making at RB. If the Browns come in and play sound defense and pound the rock, they very well could win that game. Definitely a team we need to score early on and force Sanders or whoever is taking snaps that day have to throw to come back.

Big ben is such a blowhard. There's a reason he's never been on a network show, even as a guest analyst. Its 100% time for Tomlin to go, but he's more likely to end as the HC of the Giants than Penn State
I think if either the long term coaches from that division are canned it will seal McDaniel's fate in Miami. Ross cannot resist big names. And truthfully, a Tomlin or Harbaugh is probably needed to reset the culture down there. Refocus guys from the club scene to the football field.

None of these guys can stay healthy, so I doubt he will have any real decisions to make.That's probably the closest thing to the truth in this thread. Seems a lot of weeks we have an either/or and not a both.
Though I will add this about play time and such. McDermott values guys being in the right place in the defense at the right time. I don't know who is supposed to be where at what point so I can't say who does it better, but that is valued with this coach.

I'm so glad there may be a happy ending here

Tomlin is overqualified to be our DC. You can’t be serious! One of my major issues with McD/Beane is our lack of quality coaches. Tomlin would be huge for this team, bring back Daboll too..
He's coordinated a defense ONE season...20 years ago. And then double down with Daboll? This HAS to be satire.

Would Tomlin come here and be our Assistant HC / Defensive Coordinator??
Why would we want that? Tomlin has less time as a DC than Babich.

With both defenses being not so hot and both offenses being able to pile points, naturally this will be an ugly low scoring affair.
Bills- 20
Bengals-11

I'd take Jaylen Warren as a back up RB lol. He does well when he's more of a change of pace guy. I'd take Darnell Washington, that mammoth TE.

the Steelers traded Pickens who is now All Promaybe, just maybe Slay can still be very good
the Eagles wanted him back if he cleared waivers and Howie is almost never wrong
Pittsburgh didn't trade Pickens because he lost his starting job and played horrible this year. Slay was even an healthy scratch at one point this year.
Howie makes moves every year that don't work out. Just like every GM. Just as an aside, is there somewhere that even says the Eagles wanted him back that I missed or is this personal speculation dressed as fact?
In any event, what's best for the Bills? Pulling in a vet on the way downside of his career, or getting out promising looking first round CB the most possible snaps and on field experience before the playoffs?

Don't like it. He hasn't been good this year and it's one more guy that may take snaps from Hairston.
Unless he can play the NCB role

I suspect Bosa is out for this one, which sucks due to the Bengals not being good on the OL and Burrow being a statue. I will even say he misses a second game...but I don't mind him missing the New England game actually. Maye is shifty, probably not getting too many sack opportunities...but Bosa out means maybe we have someone in there that will set the edge against a good running team in a possible bad weather game.
