More fake news. I’ve said in other posts that Beane is the best gm in football. I think the problem is McD, “but ok”…

Hahahahahhaha!!!!! Davis has struggled this year with drops and bad routes and yoy are one of the ones that are holding onto one game from last year. Haha. I bet you thought Timmy smith was the real deal when he set a super bowl record for rushing yards too. Hahahaha!!!!!

I agree. I just don’t see it honestly. I love poyer and hope they keep him, but i think his age is gonna work against him. We have a lot of tough decisions coming up this off-season and the next.

Really? Are you kidding? Anyone that can think for themselves can see where our struggles are. If you think for one second that we are even on par with our weapons from last year or the year before then I have no idea what to tell you. Your witty and snarky responses don’t make you right.

Of all those guys…how many are first rounders? Then while you are at it, please list all the firsts or seconds spent on defense.

Good for you. You don’t like it don’t comment. Simple as that. We all have opinions. Sorry mine don’t match yours. Don’t need to comment negativity and snarky remarks every time I post. And who’s the stalker again? Its a free message board for fans. I’m a fan. I have an opinion. It has nothing to do with you.

What is your deal? Talk about stalking yet that’s all you ever do with me. Don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house. Keep my name out of your mouth and I’m more than happy to do the same.

Wow. One example. Good one. You got me…👍

Are you kidding? We wouldnt need to draft or sign anyone on defense this off-season and STILL have more talent than most teams. The point is…we have spent enough on that side. Time to invest on offense.

Hopefully he keeps Beane from drafting a safety in the first to replace Poyer.

Oh I absolutely think we need to improve the talent on the line.

Exactly. I said all off-season we would be in trouble if something happened to Diggs or Davis. That was assuming Davis would prove himself as a true 2 in the first place. He hasn’t. He’s a very good 4 or 5 and there is nothing wrong with that. But that’s what’s bizarre. Beane and McD preach “competition” but pretty much handed the job to Davis. That has turned into a big mistake. We need at least one stud WR this off-season to compete and probably take over after next season. Our WRs have time to get open. They just dont run good routes except for Diggs. This is the issue with this thread…too many of you fail to acknowledge the deficiencies in our overall talent at WR. It’s like you choose to be blind to it.

Why they continue to use McKenzie is beyond me. A “shot” Beasley is still better than a healthy McKenzie. What’s your point?

Well said. The bottom line is we didn’t do enough on offense this past offseason. I honestly think the plan was to bolster the defense (McD) and hope Allen could elevate everyone on the offense. Well…that’s proven to be a huge mistake. Our line isn’t very good and outside of Diggs, we can use upgrades everywhere. Davis is a solid 3 or 4, but he isn’t a 2. That experiment has backfired. The resigning of McKenzie pissed me off at the time it happened and it still does. Saffold to a one year deal and then don’t bring in a rookie to learn and take over last year? Not good enough.

Beane is the best GM in the game, but hasn’t done a great job of allotting resources evenly to both sides of the ball. One of my main criticisms last off-season was that we didn’t do enough to strengthen our strength, which is passing the ball. We lost sanders and Beasley and replaced them with McKenzie (hated that extension), crowder, Howard, and Shakir. He signed 4 offensive players to one year deals, while giving several of the defensive players multi year deals. I have been banging the table to keep adding weapons. Beane and McD talk about competition, but didn’t challenge Davis going into camp. He was basically handed the number 2 role, which he hasn’t exactly earned this season. I think he’s a really good 4, but he leaves you wanting more as a 2. Shakir seems to have a good future, but it makes no sense why McKenzie is getting as many snaps as he is. Thinking crowder would stay healthy was wishful thinking. Saffold is on a one year deal and I wanted the bills to draft a guard high to learn and take over next year. Now we have a hole to fill because they did nothing else on the line.

I wouldn’t call him a “great number 2” by any stretch of the imagination. If anything, he’s disappointed this season by not being the consistent threat we were hoping he’d become.

It’s absolutely mental.

Yep. I can’t understand how McKenzie keeps hanging on with this team.

I think it has a lot to do with them hoping McKenzie could be beasley’s replacement. He’s nowhere near that level. Not even close. It was a bad miscalculation on Beane’s behalf. The really frustrating thing is the lack of usage for Shakir. He Is a bigger guy, he’s fast, way more physical. He’s been in the system for a while now…give him more burn. He’s the unknown, while we all know what we have in McKenzie at this point.

I think a lot of fans bought into the elite roster talk this off-season and ignored the fact that we lacked a lot on offense. I was never impressed with extending McKenzie, signing Johnson, crowder, Howard, and Saffold to one year deals. All the while signing multiple defensive players to multi year deals and drafting a corner in 1. I mean, what does Allen have to do to get some help?

Beane needs to focus on offense this off-season. He needs to lock McD in a padded room and not allow him to be in his ear that he needs more defense.

A “very good 2”? Come on man…that’s a bit of a stretch, but whatever.

I wanted a WR or OL early. Didn’t want a corner in the first. McD has a good track record with developing DBs and thought we could wait til later. Turns out that the WRs were picked through and there weren’t any OL available in round one either. I was then hoping for a trade down to pick up more picks.

McKenzie is a decent gadget guy, that’s it. He’s not a good slot.

I agree. I can’t for the life of me figure out how McKenzie continues to get opportunities with this team. I hated the off-season extension because I thought there was an obvious need to upgrade. I think Beane and McD need to stop with this “great locker room guy” BS and start getting better players for the offense. We have the leaders in the locker room that can handle a more volatile personality.
