I understand the arguments made against these contracts, even back at the time of signing before the benefit of hindsight.
However... what else was Beane supposed to do. Besides maybe "draft better", which even then could be argued since that list has a couple of 5th rounders and a 3rd rounder that turned into starters.
We couldnt let that core walk. Sure they arent All-Pros like we'd all love them to be, but for as disappointing as some of them have been, letting them walk and creating even more holes would have been worse.
I dont think drafting or re-signing any of these guys is the issue, as much as not drafting other talent to go around them
Better DL drafting would make Rousseau and Bernard, and probably even Benford, look better.
Better WR drafting would make Shakir better by not being the main focus as a small slot receiver.
I think it’s pretty obvious what he could do. Let the guys walk and replace them with better players for less money. Example, don’t resign Rousseau because he’s basically invisible, save 20M, with that you could look at any of the 1 year rentals like Bosa or Floyd, add Clooney etc. Heck, he could have signed all 3 for about what he spent on Groot. More production, more depth and less money. So with that extra money that’s NOT wasted on an average guy, there’s room for another 10M worth of talent on the roster. The problem is, the SAME mistake time and time again. Bass, easily replaced, Bernard… already replaced, Rapp, Hamlin, Milano, Knox, Oliver, to this point Benford, arguable on Brown as well. The team has never had the top end talent to get over the hump because they won’t part with mediocre. Add in the FA flops like Samuel, Palmer, Moore. All taking up cap space for no production.
Yes it ALL stems from mediocre drafting, but it’s completely on Beane not cutting the loss and continuing to push on with bad investments. Doing that pigeon holes him trying to fill the roster by swinging for “potential” from guys other teams refuse to pay as much as he will. See Palmer, Moore, Samuel, Rapp, etc.
The most obvious issue is the DL, he needed to let Oliver, Jones, Groot, AJE all walk and sign the likes of Bosa, Floyd etc for less money and more production. Instead they have one of the highest paid, least effective lines in the NFL.
It gets worse at WR, not much better at TE when you look at the draft investment as well. Safety has been become a major problem as well, the only saving grace is Bishop appears to have figured it out and is making up a lot out there.

Tell us how Reid out coached McDermott.
4th and 17. Forced FOUR defensive Time outs.
once again the failure of a coaching staff relies on Allen to score and miracles on D, they got both tonight.

Please, go away and be a Jets fan.
Do us all a favor and paint a big picture of my ass at the Super Bowl Parade, I’ll pose for you at media week. This team is going no where with Mc D and the fact your sorry ass is comparing to the Jets shows how pathetic your standards are, lined right up with the owners of the Sabers.

Somebody needs to get McD credit. He thoroughly outcoached Reid, the offensive genius. And he did so with a lineup without many of its best players.
You’ve got to be ***** kidding.

Cuz the coach made the field goal hit the goal post.
The coach set you up for that FG and had no plan beyond it. Thats the strategy part McClapass can’t handle.

The Bills D was not ready for then play 2 of those time outs. KC was on goal line, running no huddle, and McD called TO and subbed in our Big guys. Bills Big Guys made a huge stop on Hunt- great TO McD
So what is the excuse for the team not being ready?

It may have been easier for him to concentrate on the game since he didn’t have to have his head on a swivel trying to avoid friendly fire.
Maybe the best post of the entire day.

Enough. They weren’t lined up right that play. And as Romo said the TO when they were on the goal line stopped them. This team sucked it up today. The D held Mahomes to around 50% completion, Josh was great, Cook, Bishop, Hairston. So just stop.
It’s not THAT PLAY, it was 4 ***** defensive time outs. From a DEFENSIVE COACH.

You essentially just said something that makes such little logical sense I am not sure why I am even responding to it
Keep on your homer glasses, you can believe what you want, the team will always allow team back into games because our pathetic coach can’t close a game.

I honestly believe this team is bottom 5 in coaching, it takes a lot to think less of Miami, NYJ etc, but man, this team wins insppite of coaching, time and time again, and loses in big games because you can only overcome so much. The sooner McD is fired, the better the odds of actually winning in the playoffs. Today was a PATHETIC example of how bad the coaching really is, over half the timeouts WASTED ON D, only to get lit up the insuring play, 4th and 17 and a team feels it’s worth going for bc they know how pathetic the D really is, etc. JA better be the second coming of Jesus himself if they are ever going to overcome this false prophet, McBeane. It’s pathetic.

How disrespectful is it that a team feels confident enough to go for it on 4th and 17? Un ***** believable. This team is a joke.

Kincaid lines up in the slot and even out wide some (approx. 68% of his total snaps). When he's inside, he's still frequently running routes. There is not a huge difference in his case.
But even if you want to insist on making this distinction without much of a difference, the reality is that he's still a significant part of the passing offense that Beane invested in, and he belongs in all these conversations about the passing game. Except, no one pushing the no receiving talent agenda ever acknowledges this and it's super disingenuous.
Ok, count him as a WR if you want, take his very best season, he’s still mediocre. You are excited about a guy with less than 700 yards and a 9.2 YPC as a difference maker? Let’s get real.-

Shaq Thompson. Arguably our best LB. 😭 And Milano will probably get hurt again in the 1st quarter (I hope I am wrong!)
Who’s arguing against Thomason being the best lb?

Hurts has Brown and Smith
Burrow when healthy has Chase and Higgins
Dak has CEE-DEE and Pickens
Allen has what at the WR position that would be considered elite... NOTHING!!!
I can’t take anyone who laughed or thumbs downed this post, it’s nothing but fact if if anyone here is going to try to argue anyone on this team outside of Allen and Cook is “Elite”, you drink too much.
1 hour ago, without a drought said:Receivers don't get the ball in a Brady run offense. It might be that simple, then when they need to it looks awkward.
They could use better wr's but not sure what they would do with them. The short passing game looks forced and the long ball is non existent.
Funny, bc if you look at his tenure with elite WRs in College, there was no problem throwing the ball.

All I’m saying is a healthy Gabe Davis is without a doubt the Bills #2 WR right now. Really says everything about this unit and the need to improve.
Sad, but true.

That's just it, isn't it?
Gabe Davis isn't a guy you want starting for you and was maligned as a starter for us. But when you look at what we're rolling out at WR, especially lower on the depth chart, Gabe is an upgrade. Maybe not a massive one, but an upgrade nonetheless.
And when it comes to what we're rolling out, any upgrade of any kind at any of the 6 spots on the depth chart should be welcomed.
Yep, it’s a sad state of affairs in my book.

Never thought I’d be excited to have Gabe back, this roster is atrocious.

A couple weeks ago, I was thinking this could legitimately be an undefeated season, then the defense completely collapsed and I now question if they even make the playoffs. I expect a full on @$$ whoopin from KC. The defense certainly can’t do anything to stop KC and the offense isn’t that good without either Cook or Allen just shouldering the whole load. Cook has actually been the key to the offense this year, more than Allen. With nobody on the team that scares you as a pass catcher, the only hope is a big running day.
I see another 4-5 losses coming and possibly missing the playoffs. The team looks defeated/disinterested, whatever it may be. I think they know they don’t have the horses and McD is not going to get it done when it matters. Sadly, in my opinion, the window has closed and it’s not going to reopen with this regime.

Injured so often?
Never seen a good player get injured several times..ever?
C’mon. Dude was hurt beginning this year, otherwise has not been injured and missed a regular season game since 2018.
Hasn’t missed a game, but there’s always an injury that limits his ability. He’s been glass since entering the league. -

Between a rookie that missed camp and one of Poyer, Cam Lewis, or another rookie that missed a ton of time at safety Andy Dalton looks poised to have a nice game.
If Andy Dalton lights this D up, McD himself best suit up at had time because his days as a coach are numbered.

It's interesting because typically the Bills aren't killed down to down as much as they get hurt with long runs that tend to inflate the numbers.
I'm not saying they have been great, but really it's more a few plays a game here and there that lead to huge averages versus constantly giving up big yards per carry.
The trouble is, those runs count. Every year, we have big TDs given up by the run D. How many times has Henry torched this team for 40+ yard TDs, it’s insane. When a team does run well, the Bills have to sell out to stop the run and that opens everything else. The Ravens losing to the Bills 2x in a row with complete collapse in one half or the other is just amazing to me. Harbaugh and McD are two coaches that are living on reputation and deserve to be fired. -

Yea that's likely it for him as a Bill
I was hoping for that after the 1st one year contract… yet here we are.

Can I trade all of the WRs and DBs?

If McDaniels is employed Tuesday Morning, they are tanking for Tua(s replacement).

Spot on. Never have we seen this level of parity. The Rams are the scariest team and they are beatable.
