It’s funny how you call out these “key” players who haven’t shown they can play in the NFL or the injuries to guys that got banged up well after the suck started (which has actually been most of the year). I mean, we are supposed to get excited for what Jones, Sanders, Samuel, Palmer, Hairston, Strong, Milano, Bernard, etc…. All of these guys either A) haven’t shown they can play in this league B) haven’t shown they can stay healthy C) both

I really don’t trust Beane to be honest. I just can’t reconcile the guy he presents himself to the media as, and somebody who would call PFF and complain about how they graded players to the point that the PFF main rater says he’s the most sensitive GM in the league. Then you throw in the radio interview where he mocks needing a #1 WR. The you looks at how he has local Buffalo media essentially in a zero access state if it’s not team approved positive content. Beane tries to portray the BBB image. The reality is he’s sensitive, not as confident as he comes across, and I sincerely believe reports that he is not a very good scout. As it aligns with his track record drafting. We want him to draft a WR worth a crap, just jeep in mind, Kelvin Benjamin is probably the best WR he has ever drafted. This is not a guy with any track record at WR. His hits in Kincaid and Torrence at TE and G are not positions teams use #1’s on. So you better hit if you do. Glad we did, but the wins have been pretty minimal. The the extensions have been downright criminal.

It’s the GMs job to eventually get one of those situations correct? I understand we can’t talk about it because Keon needs 6 more years to develop and Max needs to play one down, but while we aren’t talking about it other teams are getting production from those draft picks and not using qualifying conditions to justify not judging players yet.

Hairston might be fine. That doesn’t take away from the fact that two players were very highly rated and available when we picked and we passed. These are not hindsight picks. These were well known players nearing BPA at the time of our pick.

Jesus, thank god. After 1787 days I can finally go to sleep. By the way, why does his name sound like Native American porn?

Johnson was BPA on just about every board when we picked. McConkey was BPA on several. This is like saying Troy Franklin or Tory Horton or Halati Ngata is hindsight. Sure, usually it is, but it’s not when most fans are calling it out.

The consensus for a long time is McD is elite and Beane is elite. I called flaming horse crap awhile ago. You don’t have an MVP QB, elite HC and elite GM and not get over the hump in almost 10 years. One or more than one element to that is not as good as perceived. I would point at GM even before HC. This just isn’t a championship caliber roster and it’s been going backwards for awhile now. Iteration one was far better than two. Like light years better. We are no longer getting the Beasley, Brown, Poyer or Hyde FA’s. That quality has been replaced with tier 2 acquisitions, fringe starters serving as primary players. No, Buffalo players are not getting snubbed in the Pro Bowl or Top 100, they just aren’t very good. The consistent lack of representation on these lists is just a byproduct of it. The good ones you mention, like Torrence and Kincaid are first rounders at positions teams rarely even use first round picks on. So ya, we sort of had to hit there. Beane is a witch alright, it’s just in PR and sales, not talent acquisition. He has sold this entire fan base that he knows what the hell he’s doing. He even doubled down on then offseason reminding the fanbase how “dumb” it was to think we need additional WR help. Good thing we have all this C talent locked up on extension.

looking like Sam Rothstein from goodfellas

Things I have been cursed at by the majority on this board. Brady is not a tier 1 OC, Beane is not a tier 1 GM. Forget about McD, but these other two slip under the radar way too often.

Hate to break it to you, but you won’t see it all year

I would settle for his slow cousin Jerry Wannestedt

The talent level is so low. It’s not absolving McD, it’s on both Beane and McD. The Josh Allen show is only going to cover for them so long.

Defense is finally hitting enough injuries to absolve McD. Quick, let’s sign all of them and then wonder why we find ourselves in the same spot next year

His QB's those two years were a end of the line Tannehill, Will Levis, and Dobbs. He's 58-47 with a bunch of 3rd rate QB's. He's never been part of a 1st round pick at QB. I would say he's done a pretty good job. That doesn't hurt as much as people think. If anything the pain comes from what clappy will do with it more than what is lost. Good system, poor game planning.

It was about the funniest thing ever hearing McDaniel try and do damage control on Tua's comments. I'm not sure it was Tua's intention to F him over (not like it really mattered). But when your on the hot seat and your QB says players aren't doing the right things, it's just not a good look. McDaniel “Player-led meetings are extra things outside of what I demand. We’ve been very accountable, to me. It sounds like there was something on his mind with regard to specific meetings with a couple of individuals that he was trying to get corrected by direct communication. Clearly, he’s sending a message. From my standpoint, everything I’ve asked of the guys, they have delivered on. So I’m sure whoever he’s talking to, they’ll deliver as well.”

I just can’t with Lions fans 😂

Grew up in that area, them getting one before us? No thanks.

If that type of strategy worked even 1/4th the time against a team that runs that play more than a couple times game, the leverage is so high the win shares they contribute will be more than the other 6 Bob Smiths on the practice squad combined that might see the field a couple times a year.

Bill Braskey and Mark Sanchez don't have a lot in common

I would say the evidence shows pretty clearly that it is. Unless you think refs are just deciding to ignore it. All these SEE! False start! are being done in slow motion and still frame. Not live.

It's a bang bang play that is difficult to officiate. Hard to see the false start live. Hard to spot the ball. Impossible to determine if the player fumbles. I have no idea why people are going to such lengths to say this is positive for the game or should be in it. It's just not on multiple levels. So what are we going to have, false start instant replays? Now we have those on all plays? We can argue over how somebody scratching themselves should be a false start? End the lunacy please.

Or take a spot on the practice squad and activate when you play teams that use it frequently. Lets not let thinking get in the way of words.

Buddy's from Detroit, if it needs to be a chain, Jets from Detroit/also in Ohio. But I certainly have love for the occasional Chicago or New York slice. I like making my own pizza as well.
