    And Beane continues to mortgage the future in order to win a SB this year.  
     

    we were 20M over the cap to start the season and added Floyd, McGovern, Poyer, Rapp, Edwards, Shell, Poona, Shaq, Phillips, Harty, Sherfield, Harris, Murray and Sam Martin.  Plus the draft class.  

    “Mortgaging the future” is quite the over exaggeration. They’ll continue to balance things. 

    Trading away multiple high draft picks for an underperforming DE or 40 year old QB is mortgaging your future. Manipulating the salary cap is not.

    Now you KNOW it's an outright lie. Beane likes his draft picks too much to risk losing them in a tampering situation. Yet we will have people here claim for years that Beane was "all in" on him for YEARS now...

    It doesn't sound like the Bills offered to trade for him... they made an offer to sign him.

     

    It seems like MIN let him negotiate knowing that they'll release him and NYJ and BUF mades offers - they're trying to find a taker before releasing.

    Meh

     

    the pass rush was dreadful so they needed someone but this guy was a bust until he got to play next to Aaron Donald.

     

    my girlfriend could rack up 6-8 sacks playing next to Donald, Floyd won’t have that luxury here 

    I know. We should’ve signed Myles Garrett this time around… surprised that he’s still sitting out there.

    Would like to see some solid input on this acquisition. 

     

    I really don't know much about him. 

    Top 10 pick in 2016 and never really took off in Chicago. 
     

    Has been with the Rams the past 3 seasons and produced 10.5, 9.5 and 9.0 sacks. He’ll get after the QB.

    What exactly do you want them to be critical of the pegulas about

    Not building a dome. That’s his #1 gripe.

     

    If we had a dome we wouldn’t played against Cleveland despite the travel ban. 
     

    Disregard the Sabres having to move their game against Columbus because of a travel ban. A domed Arena is different than a domed stadium.

    That was the single best game Dorsey called all year. Singletary had his highest amount of carries all season.

     

    Where did that Offensive Coordinator go the rest of the season when it mattered more

     

    oh and Singletary is a Texan now. :(  gee I wonder why

     

     

     

     

     

    Right… you pointed out his single worst game all year and I pointed out his single best. 
     

    Where did he go the rest of the season? 3rd in scoring in the NFL. 
     

    Not sure I understand the Singletary point at the end there… just more of your erratic nonsensical posting?

    overwhelmed a lot of the opponents yes. The Bears and the Browns of world couldn't keep up with the talent.

     

    But when met with opponents of similar talent Dorsey was routinely outcoached and downright embarrassed at home in the snow against Cincy

     

     

    What about the Chiefs game on the road at Arrowhead? What did Dorsey do there? 
     

    I can single out individual instances too!!!

    just keepin it real cause your WGR & your Buffalo News aint gonna tell that story cause they are under Pegula's thumb. What I dont get is why posters here dont want to keep it real and accept any criticism

    Because you don’t provide anything of substance.

     

    You call someone “a bum” with nothing else unique included. That’s not contributing to any sort of conversation…

    He has Travis Kelce.  A dominant TE like Kelce is every bit as effective as a WR.  

     

    We were 3rd in the NFL in scoring with a bum?  Did we overwhelm our opponents with talented weapons?

    Oh boy!! Start the Merry-Go-Round up! 
     

    The reply will go a little something like this!

     

    SUNY: “Neither. It’s because Josh Allen has to constantly step up and make something out of absolutely nothing. He has no talent outside of Diggs and no help from Dorsey.” 
     

    ROYALE: “Wait, so you’re saying Josh Allen has to carry his offense with subpar skill players and play calling? That means he’s at a disadvantage to Mahomes and it can be argued Allen is asked to do more and possibly even better.”

     

    SUNY: “That’s not what I said. Mahomes is just a better QB. Talent and playing calling don’t matter at all!”

    We are accustomed to WR's fetching big hauls in trade now but at the time they ended up over-paying by the standards of the time to get Diggs because of that desperate need..........meanwhile Arizona got the at-the-time MUCH better Hopkins from Houston for a second round pick.

    I agree with the rest of your post, but this leaves out context. 
     

    We didn’t have the ability to acquire Hopkins for a 2nd rounder. Bill O’Brien wouldn’t trade him in the AFC and was notorious for making head scratching moves during his time as the main decision maker.

     

    It was agreed on as a clear loss by the Texans at the time and there’s no doubt  the league saw it that way as well. Nobody was using Bill O’Briens’ haphazard decision making as a blueprint. 
     

    Earlier this week, NFL executives slammed O'Brien and Texans for the move in a scathing piece in The Athletic.

     

    “It is amazing in the NFL that some trades are so lopsided still,” an executive said, according to The Athletic's Mike Sando. “The Hopkins thing was a joke. How the David Johnson contract was included in the deal just astounds me.”

    Working on it.. story of his life. I’m not holding my breath

    If we had a dome, he would do his job more effectively.

    I didn’t know Brandon Beane was above criticism

     

    sad what this fan base has become

    There was no criticism. You just made a smart ass remark weeks after he signed two veteran UFA post-draft?

    They had one of the best drafts in recent memory (for ANY team) last season. Their first pick is already an All-Pro. Their second pick was great even with Zach Wilson and I believe will be an All-Pro by next year. Their 3rd pick was better at DE in his first season that Rousseou was in his second season, and had a top PFF ranking.  Their 4th pick was a top 10 player at his position before he got hurt last season. 


    They just NAILED that draft.

    Yeah they had a great draft, they had 4 top 40 picks and 2 top 10 picks. They seem to have hit on them, that’s what you want. 
     

    That comment about Jermaine Johnson and Greg Rousseau is wrong though. I don’t know where you got that information. 
     

    Johnson 

    OVERALL/RUN/PASS/SNAPS

    71.7/68.7/64.6/309

    No need to trade a WR. Get rid of Gilliam and just keep two TEs on the roster. That opens a space for an extra WR and an extra OL that can play TE3 when needed.

    They should be able to keep something like: 

     

    3 RB

    1 FB

    2 TE

    7 WR

     

    That’s usually the total number of skill guys they keep - except it’s typically been 4 RB. Only Taiwan Jones was a RB in name only. 
     

    Cook/Harris/Hines

    Gilliam

    Knox/Kincaid

    Diggs/Hopkins/Davis/Harty/Shakir/Sherfield/Shorter 

     

    Gilliam/Hines/Shorter/Sherfield will all play ST mixed with Matakevich/Dodson/Neal/Bernard and whatever backup DB they put in there.

    Would love to see it an offer my perspective.  I'll read it if you link it.  I've found that the Draft analyses here are defensive in nature however, but don't explain why so few or our draft picks become above-average players much less impact players.  Apart from Allen Beane's drafts have produced next to nothing in that regard.  It's one thing to produce "starters," but that is meaningless when those starters aren't getting it done.  I mean think about it, how many draft "starters" do crappy 4-12 teams have?  I'm sure plenty.  And then trading away players like Hodgins and Teller ... that merely adds insult to injury.  

     

    This is going to be an interesting season.  We've generally had easy schedules the past three seasons.  This year's is, at least at this point in time, not easy.  Per our prior couple of posts, IMO if McD cannot advance at least to the CCG this season, and win the division, then on top of my thinking that it'll be time for a change, I think that there's going to be a whole lot of media and fan opinions supporting that notion as well.  It's one thing to slide through a greased-up schedule, win a division filled with QB-less teams for the most part, win an occasional Wild-Card game, but it'll be completely another to prove coaching prowess given this season's schedule.  

     

    I mean we're not a crappy 4-12 team drafting starters. We're the 2nd winningest team in the NFL since 2018 drafting various starters for our team - what do you think Hodgins was for the NYG who had no WR? He was a waiver claim that an overachieving team claimed towards the back of waivers because their starters were poor. 

     

    That was the narrative going into last year as well... and then we played a Top 10 SOS and went 13-3.

    I completely forgot that we scored with 16 seconds left against the Chiefs last year.

     

    Which made me remember that McD & Frazier let the Chiefs get down the field and get a FG for the second year in a row ... this time with 16 seconds left, instead of 13 seconds.


    Brutal.

    Yes, but then Taron Johnson sealed the game with an interception of Mahomes… with 13 seconds left on the clock.

    It was 6 years. 5 at Georgia, one at JUCO.

     

    He majored in football, like 99% of every NFL player.  He just didn't get the piece of paper with the "BS in General Studies" on his way out.  At least he's not pretending to be a college grad.  

     

    None of this is odd. 

    My apologies great and wise Mr. WEO.

    Plenty of players enter the league with no diploma.  At that level, they aren’t there for the education, but for the exposure that will get them drafted.  This has been true for many years. No diploma. Bogus, unearned diploma. There’s no difference.  This is suddenly “odd”? It’s how it works.

     

    it’s certainly “odd” to consider any of this “a red flag”…

    Yeah, plenty enter with no diploma after 3 or 4 years, maybe 5? Not 7. I know they’re not there to play school, they’re forced to go this way if they want to make it to the NFL. 
     

    It’s more so that he was there for 175% of the prescribed time to be in college and didn’t have enough credits to graduate? Not really a slight on Bennett, just odd circumstances. 
     

    I never considered anything a red flag - I specifically said it was odd.
