Don’t forget keeping the trash we had at RB, to cut Blackshear who went on to perform just as well in the regular season as he did here in preseason, only to ditch the trash after the fact and need a replacement.

TJ is solid, he’s an average starter. Davis is a JAG, he’s a #3 (at best), getting #2 volume due to the offense I’ve scheme, you could plug in virtually anyone in his slot and get the same production. He’s got one of the highest drop percentages in the league and improved his YPG ~15 yards after moving up to the default #2. Benford Jackson and Hamlin all only got on the field due to injuries and another whiff on the 1st round pick. Keep trying though. I’m fine that he’s got decent depth players, that’s great, now go find one impact player outside of Allen.

And to be fair, we not only had a long term question at Center, but glaring needs on the OL, but another mid-evaluation lead to drafting another DE, who was already going to be nothing more than a back-up with that roster.

Yep, they are obviously loyal to fault. After the last two years in the playoffs, the LAST thing they should have been looking at is extending both coach and GM. They have no clue or don’t care about winning at all. They (Kim) just wants the team(s) in Buffalo. I guarantee they will sell off the Sabres and we’ll continue in with Marv Lewis 2.0 until Allen won’t sign an extension.

Who cares? They are all JAGs. You really want to point to greatness from selecting a bunch of guys that have jobs, fine. The fact is, most of them wouldn’t even start on another team and absolutely none of them are actual difference makers.

That’s literally all he’s done, except put the team in salary cap hell as bad as it was when he took over and gutted the roster. Now he’s got himself a roster full of over paid Jags with Allen dragging their asses to wins. We are witnessing the Aaron Rodgers/Brett Farve scenario all over again. The only props I can give GB is they at least used picks on the OL too. Save yourself the time of trying to tell me 13 wins. You can’t be all excited about that and also criticize every other team/QB for not winning championships. The window is closing fast in the Bills, it’s time for a massive overhaul. Facts are facts, Diggs is right.

That’s a joke. Beane is so overrated it’s not even funny. Complete roster mismanagement and horrible draft after horrible draft, he may have been a scout, the guy should be handcuffed in a back room come draft day.

Yeah… no… Cook is the receiving back, Harty is just a slot guy. He’s going to be Lil Dirty all over again.

I think you over estimate the amount guys talk, but believe what you want.

I don’t think they would “give up” per se. The thing is Allen IS the offense. Aside from Diggs, it can be argued there isn’t another starting WR on this roster. Davis is ok, but he’s really a 3, his numbers lie a bit because of volume, but he’s not a legit 2. The rest of the WRs are JAGs, nothing more. Unless Kindcaid has an exceptional rookie season, which we hope for, there’s nobody on this team that anybody has to scheme against. Take away Allen and plug in a bottom 15 starting QB, you have a sub .500 club. Every team has a plan to beat the Bills with Allen, without him hiding the deficiencies, it’s going to be Very tough to win. The defense is ok, but if teams know they don’t have to worry about Allen dropping 30 on them, they can just play power ball, work the middle of the field and destroy the obvious weaknesses. Hell the Pats didn’t even have to throw to beat them when Allen struggled in the elements.

I have a feeling we will be trading for one of the Texans back ups, to make sure we get that 3rd round comp choice. Mills makes a lot of sense as he feels he should be able to compete against their rookie, wasn’t allowed to and probably is still pissed. Keenan can’t be cut or they let a 3rd round pick walk away for nothing. Lance was worth a flier for a developmental project, he is basically what Allen was when he walked in, super raw athlete, all the tools, needs refinement. McClappy probably thinks he is the reason Josh turned great, so he could do it again. Not worth paying though.

Yeah.. about that.. step one, fine. Step 2, hard pass. This is exactly right. This offense without Allen is a bottom 10 offense, BUT if you have somebody that can at least not screw up and make the basic plays, you have a chance to win a couple games. To me, Barkley is the better choice for that of the options we have. The guy isn’t a world beater, but he can compete. Kyle Allen is just not good enough. He’s had chances on other teams and couldn’t do much there either. He’s a better athlete and has a better arm, but he’s not a good QB.

For the love, you really think GMs are not humans? It doesn’t take a genius to see what everyone else does and for him to say something along those lines in a casual conversation would not at all surprise me. I have personally interacted with past GMs, while they were on the job, their passion is football, they talk football and yes they talk about the players. They hear/see what fans/media say, it’s not like they are robots in a bubble. I was speaking with a former GM and brought up a big signing and asked him point blank if he really thought it was worth it, he gave me a real answer about the player and ended it with “I hope it works out, because I’ll be out of a job if it doesn’t”. For those that care, it did work out pretty well and he’s still out of a job 😂

Really surprised he got cut before Peterdude. The kid they had out there last night looked every bit as good as Fields 😂. Ok, it’s against 3rd stringers etc, but he did look good. I’m not sure what happened with Walker there, he’s looked pretty good in the past.

Wow.

It is true. If you have a team that’s supposedly that good, anywhere you add a better player, makes the team better. Passing on Creed Humphrey because you “need” pass rush, makes the team weaker. Drafting a project DB because you need a CB2, when you also have holes all over the OL etc, makes the team weaker. They took guys looking at the future, just the opposite of what you are trying to say, they had to develop all these players at positions of need, instead of letting the draft come to them. There isn’t going to be an “aggressive rebuild”, there’s no money for it. The consistent whiffs on finding any difference makers is killing this team. Yes, they are ok, but they can’t get over the hump because Beane has drafted exactly zero difference makers outside of Allen.

Could not agree more. I didn’t like a single pick out of the first 3 rounds, you had a guy they panic picked in round 1, over drafted a non-starter at RB in 2 and took a guy that may have been undrafted in round 3. Just awful. Signing bonus gets fast forwarded to this year. That’s the killer.

They better get at least that considering the dead cap is 4x what he costs to keep.

Not sure how many times Beane needs to see, YOU DON’T DRAFT FOR NEED and succeed. These continued draft misses are killing this roster.

I can’t see it happening, the longevity is going to be the hard part. The competition today is so good, you have to be at absolute peak condition for an insane amount of time and not break. It’s virtually impossible.

For the 3rd overall pick, it ain’t cheap. The 9ers would owe more on the cap to get rid of him than keep him. Unless he’s a distraction, look for him to stay right where he is until after the season or when they get decent compensation for him.

Yeah, sounds about right. Didn’t know him, but got to read the back of his Jersey as the end flew by

Agreed, both need to be looked at very hard to determine if they do in fact justify bringing back. I expect this to be the last year of Tre and Dawkins is questionable, his appetite for the game seems to be less than his actual appetite.

He’ll most likely be double digits again. He will be playing hero ball again because the front office refuses to get him real help.

The only time I noticed him in the games he’s been blown past, must have missed the “strong” part.
