Keon will get traded for a 2027 6th before the start of the season. It will be called Beane wizard magic for a getting anything. And if that does not happen we will hear how Keon will have a breakout season and how different things will be.

McD is gone. Every player that Beane has kept on the roster are going to dominate. McD cannot contain them any more. Imagine if Bosa didn’t have to think and have contain but could just rush the qb. Wait…

You can find a ton of guys all around the NFL with "stats". Doesnt mean they should be on your roster. Hamlin provides zero upside. I would rather give a rookie or yet to be seen player the opportunity to be 4/5 safety and special teams player. Maybe you get a guy that can develop into a legit starter or even just a more capable back up in a few years.

This. Hamlin has never been decent, in the run game he is noticed less maybe but a complete liability in coverage. He is a guy that should be bouncing around the league not getting resigned. Just let a young guy get a chance. I doubt its much money but still more than undrafted rookie money. Add up all the small overpays on guys we dont need and maybe you get a upgrade somewhere else on the roster.

McD just loves these types of guys. Wait. Why dont just give a guy with more athletic skills a chance to be the 5th safety and play special teams.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Its called Billieving

This is a good point. For me it’s why I wanted them to go outside of the organization for the head coach. I could be wrong, but I don’t see how promoting Brady to head coach brings about a drastic change in leadership. He has been involved in the offense the past few years and in both years, the offense had better chances to win then previous to his time. Didn’t happen then so why making him head coach do we assume it will happen now? We likely only have a year or two to get the answer to this question. Hopefully it works or we’re wasting more of Allen‘s prime career.

I will throw in Bernard and pick 26. Yes it’s definitely wishful thinking. I don’t see it happening, but I have seen some mocks that have him dropping.

And the fact is most of the elimination games were vs an elite KC team that you most likely needed to score 30+ to beat.

Want - Sonny Styles Dont - Avieon Terrell Think - TJ Parker

Other than KC games the D has only given up 30 or more vs DEN 2025 (with 5 Turnovers on O) and MIA 2022 (MIA only had 200 yards but 31 pts due to MIA having a Def TD and multiple scores on short drives, like 10 yards, following turnovers. The D could not stop KC. It was not nearly as bad in the other games. Non KC games: BAL (2020) 3 DEN (2024) 7 JAC (2017) 10 NE (2021) 17 PIT (2023) 17 HOU (2019) 22 IND (2020) 24 JAX (2025) 24 BAL (2024) 25 CIN (2022) 27 MIA (2022) 31 DEN (2025) 33 KC Games KC (2024) 32 KC (2023) 27 KC (2021) 42 KC (2020) 38

Sadly too many times. They played 4 games. But oh yeah they were terrible. I will take that version of terrible in the playoffs if it gets the Bills to the Super Bowl like it did for the Pats.

Would not be shocked at 2. Would not be shocked at 0.

"At all responsible" is fine. Its the blame every bad thing on McD, but attribute every good thing to Beane. And to address lack of player development - Poyer, Hyde, White, Milano, Johnson, Edmunds, Wallace, Benford, Bernard, Bishop, etc. There have been plenty of examples of young guys that developed in McD defense. The issue has really been the free agents have not had the needed impact and the recent drafts, which I would argue Beane likely had more control over than the early drafts, have been much less productive. Plus overpaying second contracts on guys that are good but not great players.
