A no brainer, he should be a Bill instead of the receivers on this roster, Shakir and Kincaid being the only keepers.

It’s painful to think we’re wasting our great QB with game plans that are designed around a receiving corps that can’t stretch the field or get separation. Realistically our talent level can’t improve until we purge this roster of players that are overpaid and not impactful. Sadly I don’t think Beane, with his resume of roster construction shouldn’t be the one making these decisions.

My biggest question about receivers is Beane’s hesitancy to resign Hollins. He was so productive and clutch. He was not going to be expensive but with other clubs interested it was just easier to let him walk .Samuel has been often injured and it’s obvious Josh has no trust or desire to target him. Moore, for whatever reason is an afterthought in our offense. With Palmer being a lower tier addition as a FA, it makes you wonder how Beane is prioritizing talent or if he is just slapping together journeyman players that fit into the beleaguered cap situation he has with the overpaid players he has extended and Josh/Cook contracts. It’s hard to reconcile the sad reality that Beane never intended to add any quality talent with an untenable financial commitment and this will continue. Unless he stumbles on a player drafted late in round one, Josh will have to make due with lesser talent at receiver.

Beane is totally responsible for the Pats having flipped the comparison of rosters in one offseason. Besides bringing in quality coordinators and a vastly superior HC, they added skill positions players that are producing at a high level. They are far better on the backend of their defense and their front seven is as good or better than ours. Josh and Cook are arguably the best tandem QB/RB in football. If we beat them in January that’s great but with their trajectory with the GM/HC advantage being huge, can we expect to keep our AFC hierarchy position much longer? Only distorted pompom carrying homers can avoid this reality.

Simple answer is that Beane takes the easiest route to put a reasonably priced product on the field that will destroy the cap but not force bidding against other teams, or using draft capital.His extensions, made possible by restructuring other contracts and kicking cap hell down the road, were made without ever factoring injury history and inconsistency into the decision. Now, we have our pedestrian coordinators trying to game plan and call plays with depth players and less talented veterans(White,Poyer, Milano. AJ, Knox, Moore, Jones ,Phillips, Samuel etc) that we are stuck with. We should expect more of the same next season because Beane doesn’t draft well and the cap restrictions continue. Ask yourself why are so many of our highest paid stars injured so often?

The furthest thing from the Pegulas mind is questioning the GM/HC on the Bills. With the new stadium and the Bills still a playoff team what could be wrong with the world. He’s basically a photo -op owwner. I think Jessica would be a better owner with regard to holding people accountable.

Allen is a victim of an offensive game plan that teams have caught up with. If you’re going to be a run first offense , including slot receiver screens behind the line, and use check downs to bring about 3rd and short, when stacked boxes and missed O-line blocks ruin the game plan, Josh is forced to throw against safety and corner blitzing or on the run that’s where he changes delivery. Mahomes and Stafford do the same thing. The receivers are not great but they’re not a big part of the offense. When they’re asked to get open on 3rd and long against double teams or defenders trying to prevent free releases, they just can’t and Josh has tiny windows. Brady has to open up the offense while still getting Cook touches. So far, he’s failed and if he continues to force the same approach, he will see Josh lose confidence in our coaching and himself.

Thanks, I’m still waking up.

The problem was the team came out flat as a pancake with no energy and sadly that falls on the HC. He’s watching the offense go 3 and out against a team that is poor defensively four times and looks lost. Can he even try to get in the face of O-lineman that are being dominated by Miami’s D~line. He’s furiously screaming at halfhearted efforts by LBs and secondary players to wrap up ball carriers. This should a given for a team with championship aspirations. Julian is it on your on the on your you know that what do they call that thing that portal oh *****

McDermott is the last guy you want to analyze offensive play. He’s basically a defensive/ST coach who’s team has been lacking fundamentals, which he preaches constantly. How does he explain not wrapping up ball carriers, missing tackles and blown coverages leaving receivers wide open. Also inexcusable PFs, presnap penalties and poor halftime adjustments.His strengths were supposed to be motivation and preparation which the Bills didn’t have against lesser opponents this season.(NE, Atlanta, Miami) It’s called being “buttoned up “. This guy is the worst possible HC for a Josh Allen led team. He’s like having a retired military war veteran who played on his college team, coaching in the NFL. My sympathies to the great fans that travel( with the gov’t shutdown no less) and watch these embarrassing performances. Much respect.

Sad but true

Spoiled by what, winning divisions. That’s like kissing your sister. The Jets, Dolphins and NE since Brady are opponents twice . Are you satisfied with that having the best QB/RB tandem in football? Watch the Rams and tell me you’re satisfied with the way the Bills roster looks and their offense. Our front office can’t pick players and our coaches don’t improve the players on the field. Even our strength and conditioning coaches stink. Everyone is injured.

That’s total BS and anyone who’s conscious knows it. If he targeted players in his own division and he thought they would not be overpriced, he’s a fool.

Excellent post, the most incriminating picture for Sean was his exasperation with his LBs and secondary missing tackles and allowing long 3rd down conversions. If this guy is a defensive minded coach and his defense can’t tackle and commits stupid PFs and other asstd penalties, why would we keep him. His personnel input? His defensive game planning? He’s a problem and so is Babich.

Appreciate the kind words.

An impotent, cocky GM, a defensive minded coach who used to have his team buttoned up and a team devoid of a #1 and #2 receiver. That my friends is your 2025 Bills. To all those fans who defended Beane for doing nothing at the deadline, how do you feel about the secondary without Benford, the receivers without Kincaid, and your playcalling on offense with the inability to throw the ball down the field until garbage time. The idea behind making a move at the deadline is that it can overcome one of your big weaknesses as well as add needed depth.

The answer to this question will be determined by the outcome of the rest of the Chiefs schedule. If the Chargers, Broncos, Colts and Texans can get 3 more losses on the Chiefs record, they probably miss the playoffs.

What are you in the Bills PR department? Everythings perfect,.647% winning percentage, 7 playoff appearances in 8 years,, looks like another great draft class. That’s the mindset of someone who had a bag over their head for 21/2 decades and then got arguably the best QB in generations and now is totally satisfied with making the playoffs, getting prime time games and having a spanking new stadium. Fans for longer than you,that never experienced a SB win and are frustrated that a team like KC extinguished our hopes 4 times in a row after beating them 4 times in the regular season are frustrated and expecting the organization to prioritize winning it all. Unless you’re an oblivious homer you have to admit this roster is not supporting our great QB/RB tandem after injuries or inaction opened gaping holes at receiver, D-tackle and secondary. You should send the organization a small invoice for squelching criticism by fans who know something is wrong with management.

Don’t compare Shaheed to Moore. It’s not close. Samuel is not a member of the offense he’s either hurt or doesn’t make any plays. To get an Olave or Shaheed a high rounder or 2 over a couple of drafts is a must. With a QB like Josh a GM has to take some big swings. You remember George Allen’s Redskin teams? They never had any draft choices, they were great every year with Sonny and Billy Kilmer. I’m not saying sacrificing like that is necessary but important pieces need to be brought in when you have holes.

Great points, why rock the boat. Let’s wait for fans with bags on their head, before looking at how the team is run.

All these great excuses for not making a deal yet Shaheed was a perfect vertical,stretch the field guy that Seattle,who have a better receiver room than us, picked off. All these 2and 7 teams and Beane couldn’t do anything? The Jets ,who are cleaning house, would have listened to offers for Quincy Williams. Plenty of others that Beane wouldn’t pull the trigger on because giving up draft capital is out of the question. No #1 or #2 receiver on a team with Josh F-ing Allen. Pitiful. You need my opinion because all these young bucks on this board get defensive when management is questioned. I went through 2 decades of coaches and front office people stumbling around making this franchise a joke. When you draft the best QB in football, you must surround him with quality skill position players and a respectable defense.

I’ve been a Bills fan since 65. I go to games in Jersey and Philadelphia because I live down here. My kids and grandkids are Bills fans with plenty of memorabilia and gear. What are you the arbiter of who should be a fan. I just know when fans are being taken for granted and I have the testicles to say so.

You’re fine with no moves for a receiver,D-tackle or secondary. You’re satisfied losing to KC 4 times in a row in the playoffs. Drafts in th last 3 years have been bad. Hairston played 1/2 the snaps in one game, Hawes is a 7th round pick and a blocking TE. He looks promising but anointing him and Hairston good choices, maybe premature no. Walker looks good but Sanders and Turner are nowhere.

Winning is great but if his decisions are bad doesn’t that make you worry that he make ruin us in the playoffs.

No Beane doesn’t, but ownership does. When fans complain on sports talk shows and on message boards,,podcasters, owners pick up on it.
