On 10/30/2018 at 1:34 PM, Coach Tuesday said:
The systematic dismantling of one of the Bills' highest-producing offenses in franchise history, replacing it over two years with what is shaping up to be statistically the worst offense in the modern era - an incredible feat when you consider that offenses are scoring points at a record pace - cannot go unpunished.
Brandon Beane gutted the offense and has failed to draft or acquire a single quality player on that side of the ball.
Not one.
The 2017 WR group was the worst in the NFL - and they did absolutely nothing - NOTHING - to upgrade it.
The lack of talent on offense predictably led to the highly-invested QB getting seriously injured.
There is no excuse for this - none. Don't tell me they're "tanking" - no team tanks the year AFTER drafting their franchise QB.
Don't tell me they have cap problems and are "rebuilding" - those problems are self-imposed, and even if they were sound decisions (which is dubious), there is no excuse for failing to even attempt to acquire playmakers during the offseason. Find some speedy gadget WRs and a James White-type scat back who can create mismatches. Find me one - ONE tight end who can BLOCK, let alone occasionally get open and catch a pass. Find me a guard who can move laterally without running into his own guys, or a right tackle who can at least attempt to execute a cut block without taking himself, and only himself, out of the play...
This offense is a shambles and it absolutely positively did not have to be. No one expected this team to contend for the Super Bowl this season but fans act like there is nothing in between a Lombardi and the first overall draft pick - it just ain't so.
Brandon Beane's "solutions" at WR have included trading up for Zay Jones (if you want to put that draft on him - fine with me if you don't), trading Watkins, trading for Kelvin Benjamin, trading for Jordan Matthews, trading for Corey Coleman, signing Jeremy Kerley.
I would let Beane spend the day working the trade wire and, come 4:01 p.m., if the roster is not upgraded for 2019, I would fire him. Why wait? I suppose you could do the Bills-y thing and wait until Beane squanders $80M in salary cap room and 8 draft picks, but why saddle the next GM with that? Get a head start now - once the trade deadline has come and gone, there really isn't much more for the GM to do until the offseason. Now is the time to make the change.
And for those of you who want to tell me that it's really McD calling the shots - fine. This will put him on notice. He has no business making personnel decisions and screw the Pegulas for their nonsensical org chart - they want to piss away their $1B business, I guess that's their right. They are clueless. If they understood accountability, they'd tell McDermott he's going to be judged based upon Juan Castillo and David Culley and the rest of the bogus offensive coaching staff that McD hired. But they probably won't.
Fire Beane, do it tomorrow morning, rip the bandaid off and move forward.
These guys have destroyed this football team i couldn't agree with u more. What makes things even worse is this crop of free agents on the offensive side of the ball and the draft looks like slim pickings in 2019.
The 2017 draft was loaded with offensive talent and we squandered it. Trading bk and allowing KC to select Mahomes was a monumental mistake. Trading up for Zay and Dawkins has proven to be awful moves also. Nobody can tell me Whaley was in control at the time it was Mcd. Although Dawkins has proven to be a good left tackle we already had Cordy on this roster . These moves left us just spinning our wheels instead of taking advantage of this draft that was loaded in the middle rds with talents such as Kamara, Hunt, Kupp, Golladay, Godwin, Dede Westbrook & Tarik Cohen etc, etc . The lack of vision this organization has shown is downright awful.

excellent idea.
I think his market value will be 12,13 mil so if we want Tyrell were gonna have to overpay. 15-16mil per.

Bills need to offer Tyrell Williams a offer he cant refuse. 4yrs 60-64 mil .

Names anyone? Of course I want someone too who can help the offense, but let's talk names. I am not that knowing myself, asking the panel of experts here who yearn for firings.
I think the Bills wont fire this dumpster fire regime but i can see Pegs bringing in a president of football ops Bill Polian. We need at least to strip Mcd of his power.

Randall Cobb is similar to Tate and could likely be signed for less. Plus Tate has a poor teammate reputation from Seattle. I like Tyrell Williams and don’t understand the Chargers use of him. When K.Allen was out, Tyrell looked very good.
TWill would be a great addition but i think he will get potentially 15mil per yr. With the cap going up Wrs are getting paid.

6 starters and a couple more depth players is damn good and anyone who says otherwise has it out for the regime.
Thats pretty standard stuff 3 starters per draft is average. Damn us Bills fans have come accept medicrity.
Considering the massive mistakes on the offensive side of the ball this regime needs to be fired.

I’m just saying thinking Mahomes be the same in Buffalo as he is in KC is unrealistic. Different teams and different coaches.. he could be a bust here if they had drafted him.. who knows! I just try compare apples (talent around then) to apples is all.
This is not true. The fact is Mahomes started a gm vs Denver on the road in week 17 . He played with his bkups vs the #1s on the Broncos . He ended up throwing for nearly 300 yds in less then 3 quarters of play. He also lead a late gm drive to win the gm after he was pulled midway threw the 3rd Quarter with the lead. Which KC gave away with the 3rd string QB playing.
Im not saying Mahomes would be the machine he is now in KC with us. But he would definitly be turning heads and leading this team to a better record then we have right now.
Btw had we drafted Mahomes maybe the direction McBeane goes in free agency and some of the trades we made would be different. Maybe we still have Sammy and a few other weapons. Maybe Mahomes would be lighting it up in Buffalo.

Hopefully we can get one of those Osweiler deals . A 2nd rd pk for cap space.

Mahomes was probably better than A LOT of QB's in college but that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure he looked a lot better than Tom Brady and Drew Brees in college as well. But then again, Colt Brennan and Timmy Chang put up better numbers than Drew Brees and Brady as well. College numbers don't always translate to the next level and don't kid yourself if you think he'd be the same QB if he was drafted by the Browns or Bills with no QB coach.
First I never used a stat to determine if Mahomes was better then Allen in college or the pros . But if u wanna talk about the stats they do figure into the equation . Yes u can find tons of system made QBs on the college level that put up huge numbers that never amounted to nothing on the next level. There also can be many of reasons why those QBs never paned out maybe they went to the wrong team or didn't fit a system . We all know how these Coaches want u to fit into there little boxes and only now some coaches are trying to adapt to what these kids do best . Maybe there are a bunch of Brady's we would never known about because they didn't fit whether it was because they were a late rd pk or they weren't the prototypical size some coaches wanted or maybe the coach and GM got fired and the new administration wanted to bring in there guy. I mean there's thousands of reasons alot of these QBs get left behind. Maybe the NFL needs to implement a better way to develop these QBs but that discussion will be meant for another day.
With that being said stats are not the only determining factor of why these guys make it or not . But the one thing we can all probably agree on is that QBs that didn't perform or put up stats in college usually never ever pan out on a NFL level. Especially QBs that were playing poorly in smaller programs such as Wyoming.
Mahomes is a much better QB then Allen and he has been since he played at Texas Tech. Mahomes has many platforms he can throw the ball at different velocity and touch depending on the situation. Mahomes has the big cannon Allen has but he's much more accurate with his throws. Mahomes also has the it factor that only the naked eye can see . He's a Gunslingers Gunslinger. I'm sorry I've never seen that from Allen on any level. It just seems like Allen doesn't have the natural feel for his position.
Last but not least Mahomes played the season finale last yr on the road with bkups and he played a great gm and lead his team to victory on the road vs Denver Broncos with them playing they're starters all gm. So there goes the help excuse.

Well all I know is it takes a helluva lotta moving parts to make a Superbowl winning football team and the Bills better darn well get their acts together if they are ever gonna do it.
An Andy Reid coached Mahommes is PROBABLY gonna be better than a McDermott coached Josh Allen.
An Andy Reid coached Josh Allen would PROBABLY be better than a McDermott coached Mahommes.
It takes a lot of organizational excellence to make a world champion football team, and comparing Josh Allen to Mahommes right now is a fools errand.
People that say this don't realize Mahomes has been better then Allen since college. I didn't know Reid coached him in college to. I thought his coach was Kingsbury but maybe I'm wrong. So what's the argument for that. Oh let me guess Allen never had weapons.

Wow! First Allen is a rookie on a team devoid of any real talent on O outside of your RB. While Mahommes has Elite talent at WR/TE and RB. The Bills O line is scarier than any horror movie while Mahommes has a top 7 line. Third, Allen is a true rookie never having the chance to learn under a good QB, while Mahommes sat for a year under a decent QB..
i understand not liking yiur QB but to be so unfair I. Your judgement IMO is wrong.. your comparing Apples and Oranges here.
No I'm not comparing anything Mahomes is far and away the better QB. I never liked Allen I believe he has all the physical tools but that's about it. I want him to succeed i really do but I believe he will never get the mental part of the Gm to be elite. I'm still seeing Allen make the same mistakes he had at Wyoming. He has tendency to leave a clean pocket way to early. Doesn't seem to have a plan to attack the D on a play to play basis. Very inaccurate at times. Plays with no anticipation or timing. I'm sorry these are major red flags . Its my opinion but I believe Allen will never be an elite Franchise QB. Maybe he can be a Flacco type but that's his ceiling.

I think Allen is gonna be fine...this experience will be good for him....just gotta get him some actual NFL help.....
Mahommes fell into a great situation...happy fo rhim.....but the fact is Mahommes behind this line with these receivers starting in his first year would be the exact same thing we have with Josh Allen now
Not at all. Mahomes is a real QB . Allen is TE . Allen has never ever been as good as Mahomes not in college and now in the pros. Let's face it our organization is trash and it starts at the top with Kim and Terry.

Considering you have 5 total posts, let me welcome you to the board. As for your dumping all over Allen, McD and Beane, there's an exit door, you should use it.
In the meantime, Buffalo fans have often been impatient since the drought started (maybe always, I can't remember that far back), but your take is on a whole-nother level....I won't do it for you, but please take some time to enlighten yourself on additional information and comparisons before you presume Allen is so terrible. Additionally, while Allen remains an unknown commodity and for all the criticism the FO has received for believing him since Draft Day, there needs to be a look at the rest of the Drafted talent which thus far has proven to be quite good. I'm not going too hard on their Pro Personnel except for Star since that was the only "real" contract they handed out. The rest have been guys to come in and fill a void over the short term. Look at their contracts, most are for a year or two....they didn't commit to anyone other than Star and Trent and while Trent took some games to get healthy, he's started doing what they're paying him to do and Star has been unheralded because they've asked him to be the guy who takes on two linemen to free up the LBers and DEs, and he's done that pretty well also.
I have no idea if Allen will be good or not, but I DO know in context of the other 4 starting Rookies, he's right in the middle with them and that's with much less talent at WR / TE than the other QBs have a worse Offensive line than Browns and Jets. All things considered, while he still has a long way to go (here's a little secret, they all do), early signs point to real growth over the last month and that he's continuing to develop. Keep in mind as well, thus far, he's faced a much tougher test than any of the other QBs in terms of Defenses faced and while the Bills have played 3 of their first 5 games on the road.
Offensively what has this regime done. Mcd has proven that he's a DC and has no clue how to build a modern day NFL offense. This WR core is his this Oline is his guys his offensive stuff is horrible he brought these guys here. Mcd hasn't proven anything but utter incompetence on the offensive side of the ball. This is the reason he will get the can after next season. When we struggle even with the additions he will make on this offense. This front office and coaching staff will set this team bk a decade. Keep buying this process there feeding u. When the process has been nothing but incompetence since the first day.

To me what's interesting is that few on this board are fairly and objectively critiquing the other 1st Round QBs, two of which were NOT available to the Bills. On the season, Allen is second behind Mayfield in completion % and has gone 2-2 in his first four starts against: Chargers, Vikes, Green Bay and Titans. Yes, the Bills NEEDED a good Defense and this last week they needed a decent / good running game and got it, but we knew that didn't we? Everyone was shouting to start Allen while understanding this team would rely on good to great Defense and a decent to good running game. They do, and now the sky is falling...?? Man, sometimes the Bills fans are the best and sometimes they are the worst.
Allen possessed all the prototypical traits a franchise QB has in the physical department and had the intangibles to lead a team, but needed starts and coaching to get him into the NFL QB realm. He's getting that....and the Bills are still winning despite that fact. They lost miserably at Baltimore and the game was essentially over when he came into play in the 2nd half and he was bad, but now we're seeing how good Baltimore is and it was his first live action EVER! Then, in his first start he looked every bit the Rookie QB, but the Defense was terrible and in the second half everything started to come together Defensively for the Bills and he made some minor improvements. Then the Vikings game the D continued their dominance and he orchestrated short drives to capitalize on the opportunity through his athleticism and an open pass to Croom. Green Bay on the road and he had a rookie game...no excuses other than his options for passing were limited and for whatever reason, Shady wasn't used and Ivory was non-existent in the game plan. Then Titans come to town. Defense gets a turnover and Allen uses his athleticism again to score the game's only TD. We also forget that the Offense was moving the ball and gaining yards, but a botched field goal by another Rookie cost a probable 3 points, and then Allen creates the drive to win the game on a last second field goal in just his 4th start. And he made some crucial passes on that final drive, don't get it twisted.
Is he ready to be the reining King of Buffalo? Well DUH, of course not. But, we've gotten exactly what many fans wanted, won two tough games against good opponents and Allen continues to develop. If you take Traspasso's evaluation, Allen had the best game of his short NFL stint from a pocket presence and awareness standpoint. Folks, change occurs incrementally, not all in one week. Mahomes is awesome, but Reid sat him behind Alex Smith, a former #1 overall pick and good QB, to learn for a year. Let's give Allen the year and see how he transitions into next year, all the while game-planning accordingly and building on what is becoming a very good Defense.
Please stop the Mahomes Sat for a yr comparisons. Allen could never hold Mahomes jock . These guys are not comparable on any level other then physically . Mahomes was 100 times better then Allen in college and 200 times better then him in the pros. Mahomes is a Gunslingers Gunslinger he has the it factor he has natural timing and accuracy. Allen can sit behind Brady or have Peyton Manning attached to his hip and he'll still never be good. Allen is trash let's face it. McBeane is trash let's face it. I hate these guys I can't wait till the process kicks them out the door they ruined this team.

The first managment group to even TAKE A TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS IN FIFTEEN YEARS
Let that sink in for a second.....
Let's keep things in perspective. Yes we made the playoffs but we weren't a true playoff team. We were a bad team that took advantage of other teams mistakes early in the yr. Matter of fact we were 1 of the top 5 worst teams statically to ever make the playoffs.

Let's set the stage: The Bills have the fewest number of homegrown players in the league. In other words, we haven't drafted well in the past. And this year we're in Cap Hell because of bad signings in the past. In fact, we're spending less on current player salaries than any team in the NFL. So we have virtually no talent we've drafted ourselves and we can't afford to pay for FAs. That's what Beane and McD are up against. This season they have a team will little talent. Their plan is to improve the cap situation so they can sign better FAs and draft better than the previous regime. It's going to take time.
So in this past free agency, we dumped TT to get his salary off our books and get some draft capital.
We also signed AJ - the best vet FA QB would could afford. We still had Peterman. And we drafted Allen - a guy who many scouts and former NFL QBs believe has a lot of upside despite your misgivings.
Peterman - surprisingly - outplayed the other guys in preseason and won the QB competition. AJ disappointed in camp, got hurt, and was traded away for more draft capital.
Coaches tend to publicly say they have faith in their players because players play better when they have the confidence of their coaches. It's a well known psychological phenomenon called the Pygmalion Effect. You have no idea what McD privately thought of Peterman. Given what we saw of Peterman last year, I seriously doubt that McD ever considered Peterman a franchise QB. I suspect he considered Peterman a placeholder until Allen developed a better ability to read NFL defenses.
But when Peterman faced a real NFL defensive scheme playing at regular season speed, he couldn't approximate his preseason success. So Allen's getting the starting nod earlier in the season than maybe expected or ideal. But most Bills fans and observers expected Allen to start at some point this year anyway.
I'm not sure how this series of events lead you to conclude McD doesn't know how to develop QBs? Dallas threw Aikman to the wolves his first year. And speaking of Carrs, Oakland threw Derek Carr to the wolves and it didn't ruin him. Putting a rookie behind a bad line on a bad team doesn't necessarily ruin him. It depends on the resiliency of the the QB. I'm not even convinced that David Carr was "ruined" by his rookie year - he just might not have been quite good enough for the NFL.
No one can look at this roster or Week 1's result and be happy. But nothing leads me to the conclusion that McD doesn't know how to develop a QB.
McBeane is making sure they keep the legacy in place with more bad signings and more bad drafts and more well u know what I'm gonna say incompetence. So let the golden Era of Bills football continue.

over 50 million in dead cap space says it all...... WRs says it all...OL says it all, special teams say it all.....DL says it all..Murphy, Lawson,. Lo=tuia..all pathetic and Kyle has slowed down and not a starter anymore. We are old and need replacemnts galore on OL, DL, WRs, OLBs, and Clay, our prozed TE sucks. Zay Jones is useless and Benjamin does not look like he even tries at times to catch the ball. Letting go of McCaron so no vet to mentor Josh other than Mr. August, Peterman is pitiful.....
Let's throw in the waste of money on Vontae Davis and DiMarco. This org has no clue how to run a professional football team.
On 9/10/2018 at 3:59 PM, BuffaloRush said:Yes I totally agree. But did they really underestimate the OL? Or were there just not many good options out there? People are forgetting that Beane didn’t have the cap flexibility to sign players like Nate Solder or Andrew Norwell to huge deals.
I guess you could say that they could have drafted some linemen. But remember the #1 priority in the draft was QB, the second was defense. There were a lot of needs on this and you can’t all address them at once - especially given the cap situation. Whether it was OL, LB, WR or whatever other position it’s impossible to fix everything in a year. This is why I am certain that Beane and McDermott were privately bracing for an off year given the roster they have.
They had flexibility this is a poor excuse. Star got nearly 10mil per yr to plug holes. Vontae got 5 mil to sit on bench , Murphy got 7 mil to be injured and take more steriods. Stop making excuses for these bums . Call it what it is pure incompetence.

Brandon Beane deserves to be fired tomorrow
in The Stadium Wall Archives

Cap space for What? We have to overpay to bring in less talented players. This cap space is a mirage. Mof i believe these guys will blow the space they have .
We can all agree that even though most of us here dont want McBeane back next yr. They most likely will be back and they will be on the hot seat. When GM/Coach combos are both feeling the heat thet tend to make even worse decisions to keep there jobs. These guys will spend this money on players that dont deserve these deals. U can ask me how i know this? Well lets just say threw experience . How many times do we need to watch guys on the hot seat sell the teams futures for nothing strickly out of desperation?. Most times these things get worse and McBeane has not given us any reason to believe they can build and develop a functional NFL offense.
The Process should continue in 2019 but without McBeane. Yup i said it. Pegs should thank McBeane for building a solid D and show them the door. The next move is to follow the steps that both the Rams and Bears have shown us bring in a offensive minded head coach with a proven track record of developing and recognizing offensive talent. With all this cap space and picks it would be a great advantage to an offensive minded coach to bring in the talent he needs to get this offense turned around. This should defintely be the direction we take this offseason.
