    Should the Bills trade up for their own “Julio Jones”

    I did, but disputed the “sure thing” support for a trade up. Agreed with your second point.

    It all depends on so many factors when engaging in a trade up, of course you don’t want to give the farm away so to speak, but if you’re damn certain about a player selection you do it, within reason, this year “supposedly”  there are “a lot” of good receivers available, but we all know a fair number aren’t gonna make it in the NFL, anyway, it will be entertaining to watch things unfold,

    Too bad that even the “he’s as sure as a sure thing ever was” didn’t even turn out “sure” in the end. No such thing. The draft is a crapshoot, if the Bills burn capital moving up and miss on the pick, the franchise will be set behind KC even more. If they hit on the pick, great, but now other areas that could’ve had young, cost controlled talent will suffer. Best approach has always been to accumulate picks in the “money” rounds, we just don’t do it often enough.  

    Yes, various scenarios could very well  play out, but there are absolutely no guarantees that any teams picks will pan out as anticipated wether they trade up or stand pat…,

    I was told that he was only getting interviews because of the Rooney Rule. No way he's actually respected around the league for being a good coach. 

    He is an excellent regular season coach, and I mean that sincerely, the soft coverage in the postseason was majorly frustrating, and had negative results.

    Well, for starters, we have only one functioning boundary receiver, which allows defenses that double up the most likely mid to deep receiver, or who ever they want to bracket, combined that with the drops and an offensive scheme that is so obviously in transition you get what we have, very likely all this will change for the better this upcoming season, in which Brady will have set in place his offensive game plan/scheme, and we will have a couple new receivers in the stables which will compliment our current functioning pass catchers, me, I’m optimistic going forward.

    What makes you think these guys won’t have some new concepts or ideas in their new roles?

    Didn’t you know? McDermott has all new hires lobotomized so they never contradict him…, it’s part of the process…,  😂

    Ill post a link to that as well, but Beasley was on the Shane Gillis Podcast earlier this week.  He said he text Beane to come back when he left the Giants and Beane said "Ill keep you in mind."   I have no doubt its Beasley. 

    Tried to embed the code but didnt figure that out either. 

    Beasley has always been a turd, good slot guy for two seasons, but still a turd,

    The Blame Game and Changing Narratives

    That is the thing. There is always some excuse to explain it away. Like the Bills are the only team dealing with something. Every team has injuries and has to adjust. Some of the Bills ST play this year was just inexcusable. No idea why that guy has a job...hopefully they are planning on a change just waiting for the dust to settle. 

    I hear you. I guess I get annoyed by excuses and inconsistent messages. We are promoting Babich because look how great his players have performed. But we are not firing Smiley because he is a good coach but his players did not perform. Meanwhile many of the ST players were ones also coached by Babich. I dont need some massive blow up. But many teams around the league get better by adding talent to the coaching staff yet we already have the best staff top to bottom so dont need any help. 

    Like i said its never so cut and dry, every organization, to include every household,  family businesses, corporations, and all NFL teams, ALL have less than perfect outcomes, the reason for this is that “humans” don’t do perfect, you, me and every other swinging d-c/k on this planet has flaws, that’s never gonna change, so get comfortable with it, all one can do is go with the least objectionable choice, just like when we vote for our civic leaders, no candidate is gonna fulfill all the things you want done, you just have to chose the one that will “F” things up the least…,

    We consistently hear about execution being the reason for the Bills losses and primary theme to playoff exits. The close games are discussed as a supporting narrative to McD success. A lot of these games had time out blunders, penalties, dropped passes, poor play-calling, etc. At what point is responsibility taken for mistakes in most of the close losses and playoff failures?

     

    That does not mean McD needs to be fired but at some point some new blood should be brought on the coaching staff. They blame lack of execution but then promote position coaches who coached those players that resulted in lack of execution. Coaches get credit for players that play well. But when that is not the case its all on the player. Cook fumbles and he is benched for a half. There is a consistent trend of blame that seems to occur all too often. Then whether it be from the Bills themselves or the folks that work for the Bills via WGR talking the story always changes. Is it too much to ask to bring in someone from the outside that has an eye for detail which is lacking on this staff. It just feels like settling for getting close which leads to complacency and the inability to get over the hump. 

     

    Special Teams - Matt Smiley still has a job because the issue was not coaching buy execution. So the players fault not the coaches.

     

    Dorsey Fired - Early on, not Dorsey's fault. No matter how much people complained the narrative was "you want to fire the guy that has one of the top offenses in the league? Are you crazy?" The plays are clearly there it is the players are not executing (penalties, dropped passes, turnovers, etc). Then he is fired and it was an issue with the job he was doing all along. Brady is clearly better. 

     

    Babich Hired - The main justification I have seen is how well safeties and linebackers performed when he was the position coach. So the coach gets the credit in this case for good performance. But players not doing well in other cases is all execution and not the coaches fault. 

     

    Josh and the "low positive" thing - Initially sold as a positive. Josh needs to settle down. That is why we are giving him easy throws early on etc. Now the narrative post Dorsey is we need to let Josh be Josh and that is what Brady does. Ok so which is it, let Josh go superman or we need to settle him down. 

    It is Shades of grey my friend, the world in not black or white, sometimes it’s the coaches, sometimes it’s the players, always been that way, always will be, relax don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control, 🍸🚬😁👍

    I made a pithy comment a while back about only trusting Rodgers in his taste in drugs.

     

    Look, I am not expecting football players to be MENSA members (though there certainly are some extremely intelligent players in the league) but Rodgers has gone completely 'round the bend. From being a vaccine denier, to claiming alien sightings are being used to hide Epstein updates, to explicitly stating that a (arguably not very funny) comedian who mocked him will be revealed to be a child molester.

     

    He has become a liability

    A Ron is a classic example of the Dunning Kruger Syndrome…,  sadly there’s a lot of that going around nowadays…,
