Beane needs to put his resume on Indeed. This team is just smoke and mirrors of what they used to be and its all because of him.
Indeed is too good for him. Craigslist

We are a soft team that wants to say it’s physical. Houston is not a soft team and doesn’t say anything.

Shakir, Benford, and Bernard extensions looking great.
It doesn’t make sense to make guys play in contract years. They’re usually more motivated after large sums of money 🙃

McDermott looking like he’s about to show a teenager hot to use a miter saw.

People vastly, and I mean vastly, overrate how good Shakir is. The guy has an 800 yard season and people act like he's some game changer. He's an average #3, nothing more
He’s a niche player. He’s not even a conventional slot. More gadget slot guy.

Looks like Houston has the best defense in the NFL and the Bills are fielding a high school defense. Just such a stark difference.
Houston has just put us in a bag and beat the hell out it two straight years now

Realistically the 49ers are doing more with less, on both sides of the ball
way more injuries than we are dealing with

We've had poor run defense every year since McDermott got here and it has never once been the reason we lost a playoff game. I just don't worry about it that much.
I push back a little on this. Hard to say how much a decent rushing attack can soften things. It doesn't need to be about getting completely gashed for 60 minutes. This isn't the 70's. But 5 yards a pop really hurts in the playoffs. We are 4-1 when we don't allow 125 rushing yards. The only loss being our first AFC championship game. We are 3-5 when we allow 125+. Which was basically every KC game outside of that one, the Bengals game, and the Texans game. In several of those games we had couldn't get teams off the field and the run defense was part of it.

We paid Von Miller who to prior his injury here was no role player. Joey Bosa is no role player. When White was extended he was amongst best CB in league.
We might not had drafted WRs in years of Beane but traded for Kelvin Benjamin, Corey Coleman (former 1st Round pick), Antonio Brown and Diggs. We also signed guys like John Brown, Coleman Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, Jamison Crowder, Terrelle Pryor and more. Sure several busted some excelled but again we made efforts to add talented WR other ways to let us draft other positions. Aka building a roster. Obviously looking at our drafting history maybe it not best plan to draft WRs.
3 years ago we didn't have as many holes on defense. But I know keep building an offense cuz as great as Josh and offense been in playoffs they can be a few points better but fail to see letting d talent lesser they get more worse than the offense improves and still lose in the playoffs.
I think the problem is with exception of Bosa, in most instances, we are several years removed from all these decisions. I think our first build was really well done. Especially the bargain Free Agents. We still get a hit on some bargains like Floyd and Bosa <== who is more a bargain than trying to pursue elite talent. Nice hit either way. But we really haven't made attempts at bigger moves in awhile now, preferring to invest in our own picks, many of which are in fact role players. Which then tends to lock in further attempts at growth at these positions. When you are arguably a player or two away it is a bit frustrating that we are so hesitant to add a known commodity. Personally, I think Beane is gun shy over the Diggs and Miller moves, which didn't work out, but I feel were correct.

I never take one game for granted !
We are witnessing something really special... I literally had to throw in a Hall of Fame full back to round out his play style because he is otherworldly
I appreciated the Scrambling Fran as well. You don't tend to think that right away because of the size difference and physical style, but he has that pure playmaking and sense of surrounding.

Allen is the most productive offensive player in NFL history. I would be ok if somebody called out Jim Brown, because it's similar when you look at era and positional impact. Allen, like Brown, could play for any team, any group of players, and that team would instantly be a top 10 unit. His individual contribution is that strong. I have wanted to better understand Allen's off script production for years now as it's clear a very large % of his production is not within the play design. For all these reasons it makes it very hard to evaluate our coaches and GM and other roster talent. He's play's in a way that nobody else ever has been able to do at his level.

I was talking about the playoff game...that's the one they put up 472 yards in
I don't know what the perspective is here? The Colts were up 10-7 and failed to convert a 4th and goal at the end of the half. We go the length of the field, score a TD. Colts miss a 33 yard FG in the 3rd quarter. We take a 14 point 4th quarter lead and still need to get a stop on the final drive to win it. Colts finish with 450+ yards, 25+ first downs. We aren't going to win most of those games. We won that day. How is this an example that our defense can provide support when it matters?

It was 17-10 at halftime but 24-10 with 14 mins left in the 4th.
Not sure what game we are talking about here. This is the game I have been discussing. That was the year of 13 seconds and our #1 overall defense.

Dude Patrick mahomes has been scoring 22 points per game The last 2 years
If that was the bills offense everybody would be freaking out.. we scored 28-29 points per game and people lose it
And no Sean McDermott is 100% a top 5-7 coach in the NFL.. there's not 8 coaches better over the last 8 years
He's not good just because Josh Allen.. he would have a job in a millisecond as a head coach if we fired him
Josh makes the bills much better he's not taking us from a two-win team to a 13 win team.. we went to the playoffs with tyrod Taylor
he's taking us from a perennial .500 team to a 13 win team. This doesn't look much different than our meddling drought years without Allen.

That Indianapolis offense was good
It would score points on a lot of teams..
The end of the day we held them to 24... That's the only thing that matters
Sean McDermott is a great football coach
No, Sean McDermott is the Coach of the best QB in football. Allen could make your posts seem logical, he's that good.
2 minutes ago, Big Turk said:Most of that came late tho...the Bills mostly kept them in check until late 3rd quarter and had the game well in hand until they popped a couple big plays.
It was 24-7 at halftime?

Dude you can give up 600 yd... Technically... It matters how many you give up point wise..
You could give up 575 yards if the other team only scores 24 points at the end of the day... Realistically the only thing that matters is points against ... nd scoring more than that
Obviously your right u want better but that was Philip Rivers last oorah! A borderline HoF QB who was putting everything on the line ... And their offense scored 28 points per game in the regular season... Buffalo Bills held them to less despite the yards
In 2021, when we allowed 40+ it was Carson Wentz, not Phillip Rivers. The year prior when we played Phillip Rivers in the Wild Card and almost lost, they didn't punt. They had 27 first downs and 472 yards off offense. I'm pretty sure that was the most first downs allowed in a playoff game in victory. We got some very timely stops. The point is the injury narrative is insanely over played. We have cratered in the postseason defensively like clock work regardless if we led the league in total defense or we completely sucked. We are much closer to the latter at this time.

Our previous defenses were in the top in "Yardage Allowed" and Turnovers. I don't think we have ever had a strong run defense in McDermott's term.
That year we would consistently jump out to 14+ leads, then put offenses in pass only scripts with back up level QB’s and we just steam rolled people. Not exactly what we face when the stakes get higher.

Philip Rivers is a tremendous quarterback and was doing basically what Daniel Jones was doing right now and look how good they are
Patrick mahomes is obviously a beast
Philip Rivers is way better than Daniel Jones and look what the colts are doing right now.. they have a really good offense in place
You could say they had a “playoff caliber” offense

This is the last thing I'll say on the subject it's not a lame excuse
They had four players on the injury report... Patrick mahomes who is 100% playing.. two backups and 1 starter and they played .. any injury that happened 8 weeks ago is irrelevant because they're professionals and adapt.. I never throw von Miller's injury into our injury discussion because we had eight weeks to adapt okay
The bills didn't have their best safety.. and lost their best cornerback in the first half
But we had 10 players on the injury report going into Arrowhead.. in a game of inches
... Played without two starters ... Six starters and two contributing backups on the injury report with fresh injuries from the last 10 days
This is a game of inches and all of that happened and we lost by three... If we were healthy we're beating the Chiefs
That doesn't even talk about the injury report two years ago
I don't care if you don't believe me I am fully certain that the bills can and will win versus the Chiefs if healthy.. beating them five straight times in the regular season shows we can .. that's not a fluke
Everybody says they have a better roster than us yet were barely losing while being hurt more ... Ravens had six all pros last year and we beat them in the playoffs
Maybe McDermott's not that bad of a coach
2021 was he best defense this regime fielded. We allowed over 40 points at home to the Colts, over 250 yards rushing. We allowed 40+ to Chiefs in 13 seconds. This was never going to be some dominant playoff unit. No evidence to suggest that besides beating up on inexperienced QB’s.

Playing Klein was a decision. A terrible one. He may have known the defense but he was spent. Every single team deals with injuries. It's a lame excuse.
I have been looking for a long time for the stat that tracks every teams relative health historically so we can truly discuss how unfortunate we are. I would guess in the scheme of an entire year, we are actually doing pretty well. While we have had some poorly timed things occur in the postseason, does anybody here really think those past defense, even when healthy, would shut down a legit playoff team? (not the wild card carousel of bums and back ups we have had, but an actual contender). The answer is hell no and if you think that’s a yes you should be required to provide some form of logic to support it.

A Few Thoughts about the Texans Game - Community Edition
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Mikie2times
Beane is the biggest issue. But I don’t think it gets fixed with just Beane. This team needs an entire schematic overhaul and it will probably hurt for a year, because this regime drafts players so specific I doubt many would even function in a traditional scheme. At the end of the day we wasted our best shot at a Super Bowl win since the early 90’s in a slow and painful way. I really don’t know how people could sign up for more of this, but I have a feeling Terry is going to make us.
