More likely bentford. Problem is we don’t know how good or bad Elam will be at corner and we may need 47 at CB. Plus he was pretty good there

Bass has always been bad from the right hash he has had plenty of years to keep working on it and still fails on right side of the field...
I don't have the stats but I would be the majority of the misses have been from the right side
He’s not an nfl kicker.
he faked it for two years. I don’t care what the cost is. He has to go

I actually think over the last 4-6 weeks they have looked better. Poyer has looked faster to the ball and tackling has always been solid. Hyde had some key punchouts on Tyreek in the Miami game. You cant discount the mental element to the game they bring and i do feel much more comfortable with them back there than anyone else currently on the roster.
I would agree its probably the last dance for both or at least one. It is an important position for this defense and im sure the front office is considering on how to proceed.
I know there was talk about moving Bentford to safety but after the year he has had at corner i wonder if that is not a consideration anymore.
We could enter next year with Douglas, White, Johnson, Elam on the depth chart that could motivate them to look at that again but a lot needs to fall into place for that.

How could you say he’s mentally screwed? His kick was blocked and he missed an extra point on what appears what a bad hold.

I noticed at the end of the game wilkins came up to greet Josh and tell him good game. Josh didnt necessarily reciprocate the gesture. I think Wilkins thinks he can act like this during the game and be cool with each other after. I genuinely think Josh hates this guy.

Beane is average imo. He’s had his misses but so has every other GM in the league. I refuse to be upset with him for the Von signing because almost everyone was on board with it when it happened. It was said if the Bills win a Super Bowl it would be worth it. Where I do blame him is for players like Elam, Poyer/Hyde, Basham, free agent signings, and a lack of a quality second receiver. The team has needed a reliable second receiver for the last couple of years and hasn’t gotten one. With what Sherfield and Harty have provided they should have kept McKenzie who would have been cheaper and better for the morale on offense. While Elam was a miss Benford was a great find. Since they were in the same draft I consider it a wash with Benford being a late round pick.
Beane had no part of Hyde/Poyer unless you are referring to them resigning them to the deals they are currently on.
They were some of the best FA signings this franchise has ever had. The issue now is that the wheels have fallen off and they are still our very best options and will most likely have to reset these two and several other important Defensive positions this offseason.
The negligence surrounding finding a reliable WR2 for the past two seasons while we are in this window is scrutiny he cannot avoid.

oh, look two accounts with next to no posting history.. posting right after one another.. I wonder what's going on here.
You seriously think anyone is spending the time to do that on a fan forum.

“Hitting” on Allen essentially amounts to choosing him over Rosen. I guess that deserves some amount of credit.Would he have drafted Allen if he had the first pick?

No thanks. I’m not the one arguing he’s a failure. I have given you evidence of a majority success rate.
That ball is in your court to provide your argument he’s worse than the rest of the nfl at drafting talent. You got exact numbers that correlate to your rookie contract and drafting statements; something Beane has done.
If you’re going down that route, make sure you point out the amount of first rounders since 2018 who are a) no longer with the current team, and b) no longer in the league.
You are being so stupid I can’t stand it.
if you are seriously crediting beane with identifying NFL talent with the likes of Cody Ford, Kair Elam and Boogie Basham then save anymore of your time and start researching common sense.
should we seriously be celebrating the fact that beane has drafted 3 nfl caliber running backs in 5 years all the first 3 rounds. If you think that is a success you are completely missing the point.

Ok. Go across the league and look at how many teams have players drafted and still on their roster after 3 seasons. It’s not as high as you’d like to believe.
When you average 7.5 draft picks a year and draft 2/3 key players to your team, I’d say that’s a success. Furthermore, when 26 of them are still on your team with another 12 are on NFL teams that means you’ve successfully drafted NFL talent on 38 out of the 45 picks Beane has made since 2018…
All of those 26 players, over 50% (58% to be exact), is capitalizing on rookie deals (your exact statement). So what’s the counter point now? They have to be pro bowl or all-pro?
Picking NFL talent out of thousands of prospects every year isn’t the cake walk you like to believe. Especially when it’s multiple voices and inputs on the decision.
Go across the league and give me a percent on how many 1-3 round picks are key contributors and starters. What is the percent on that? -

Because it's 2023 and outside of CMC (who has an obscene 193 carries) RBs dont have big games anymore because they arent a featured position anymore.
His 12 carries for 109 yards (with a big 42 yarder) against the Broncos is up there with big games from RBs. Too bad the coach lost it for us in the end. Probably lost it for us in the beginning by benching Cook for way too long.
He had 17 for 143 against the Raiders and was key to putting them away.
The kid is the real deal, up to the coaching from here.
Execution on first quarter is important too.

Beane brought on Floyd, and when the D collapsed due to injury, he got Douglas and Joseph to shore up. Dorian Williams, Terrel Bernard, Christian Benford are keepers, so his recent work has been very good. Elam looks like a bust here, but to me that's coaching, I bet he gets better elsewhere. Miller contract looked good last year until the ACL. I give Beane the benefit of the doubt. McDummy must go.
The point is all those picks are having to be used after picks flopped. As we all know veterans cost more money. And the fact that we had little money is why Gabe Davis is WR2 and missing scoring opportunities at the end of game. There is a domino effect
1 minute ago, billsfan714 said:30-40 million over the cap depending on what site you look at. Cut players XY and Z and those are even more holes to fill. 3 defensive linemen signed to the roster next year. One of the safeties is a FA, the other one is old too. Gabe is a FA, lose him you have Diggs, Shakir and nothing. Pre-Beane scouts got you Milano I believe, correct me if I am wrong on that. Panics in the first round, throws away picks that could be young, cheap guys to develop. News flash, other teams dont share their board with Beane. Turns 2nds into 5ths and 6ths. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay overpaid for a speed rusher on the wrong side of 30. Extended a TE for 14 million when he was going to take a TE in the first. I would say his record is mixed.
Someone who gets it.

Dude this type of post and the ones blaming Allen aren’t accurate. I get it, that’s how you feel. But if you go into the Beane evaluation thread there’s multiple posts pointing out his history.
It isn’t terrible or as bad as you would like to believe. He’s produced 2 or 3 key players out of every draft. That’s decent going if you ask me. Those same players aren’t just a role player either. The “failures” you believe aren’t actually failures as if you go by the draft history they are mostly in the later part of the draft. Some guys just don’t mesh with a system or team they are on and move elsewhere and become successful. Again, key contributors more than failures. You cannot hit on every player, the real test is whether you move on from them instead of wasting a roster spot and that more often comes down to coaching and scouting input more than Beane. So you’ve got what? Zack Moss, Wyatt Teller and who else that become regrettable decisions you moved on from?
Teller is the only one. Moss did nada here.
He has a handful of failings, that’s always expected in a crap shoot.
Harty, Sherfield and the contract to Miller is rough though. That’s a massive amount of dollar and definitely part of the aging sentiment. Knox we can hold off on, for now.
It’s a blended input from more than Beane… McD and his coaching staff, scouts, trainers, other front office staff around the league…
Two players a draft is not good enough. Not expecting all pro players. Just solid and capable starters. Not with a $40+ million a year QB contract.every single miss in the draft has later been compounded or made up for with a corresponding move (or several moves) that has put us further into a tough cap situation.
why does he get let off the hook for the guys not working out? Isn’t his job talent evaluation? So if a guy leaves and doesn’t do well anywhere else he is off the hook? Sorry. Don’t share that sentiment. Pick the correct players for your scheme and take advantage of good production on rookie deals. That’s the formula.
this dedication to investing these resources into the same
positions has cost us the opportunity to address the top need this team has had for 2 offseasons.

Did you watch the NFL. Did we need to invest yet another 2nd rounder in Cook. Or could we have used a WR.
im watching Keaton Mitchell run while in the secondary right now.
This isnt an isolated incident. He’s had numerous issues with protecting the ball.

It’s the same nerds who call him “big baller beane” and say git er done BBB when we hit free agency or trade deadline.
the fact is all the draft pick misses have caught up to us. This year.5 minutes ago, stinky finger said:I'll repeat: Cook is fine.

Von Miller was a good signing until age set in. Drafts have been ok. Kincaid with a tough game today imo. Not a difference maker today.
The money and term matter though. We knew his age. He wasn’t some Latin baseball player who lied about how old he was. We all knew it was risk with the guarantees

Need a WR. Need a RT. Need a LT. Gonna need a C soon. Need 2 Safeties, 2 DTs, 2 DEs, and that’s being conservative. Which we all know mcdummy needs his 18 player rotation on the DL to be effective which is never actually effective.
the rotation is too much for me. Pay the top guys the most and play them the most. This communist approach to d line is ridiculous. Other teams don’t invest this much in 8 guys on game days. It’s also not working. Never get stops when we need. Shouldn’t these fresh guys be dominating at end of game. It’s a myth. Kingsley Jonathon is just fine as a reserve DE for 10-15 snaps a game. Play your best players as often as you can.-

Not horrible, but as this thread indicates, he's quite overrated by Bills fans.
Overinvestment in certain positions (RB, LB, DL) while ignoring WR, S and OL.
This is exactly the problem.

Which is why it’s going to be even more painfully hilarious when you see an extremely heavy defensive draft next year if McStupid is still here.
Haha. I know. People will rage.
but after WR in round 1 I can almost justify it.

Harty being a $5M inactive today while Sherfield ran the wrong routes multiple times was a HUGE indictment on Beane’s pro personnel skills.
Also true.
Was the old playoff format better?

6 teams better and I think byes for top two were fair. Home field advantage and the bye does favor the top seed greatly.
When the league went to 4 divisions per conference it did make securing a wild card more challenging and was part of the reason it took us so long to get into post season. Funny how we never have clinched with wild card since they changed format.
3 division winners and 3 wild cards made sense in the 90s.
I think what we have now is as good as it can be with division and conference structure
