Einstein's Dog

I agree it's a bad look on Beane but not because Ingram > Slay - no, that is just crazy talk. But it is bad because we lost Ingram. But to Beane's credit you don't just let Slay move from toasted Pitt over to starting for a contender. The Bills play Philly at least once more this season and Beane is not letting this happen.

It's an opinion expressed IMO with undue optimism when stated as "will probably make the playoffs if they win out". When in actuality you mean they might be able to squeak out winning their division if they win out and a lot of things break their way.

You think the Bengals would make the playoffs at 9 and 8? I don't think so. A win here does not salvage their season IMO, they are done.

I think he will. Beane can feel the mood. He has already distanced himself from the radio disaster by saying he was trying for Waddle - normally he doesn't talk about failed trade attempts. I don't trust the drafting process for the next good WR. I want him to get a proven vet. And I hope he soesn't try and cheap out - the A Cooper over D Adams. It is a little tricky now though because I don't think they want a 10 target prima donna.

Of course you’re not going to count Kincaid because you want a stat that makes Beane look bad. To see how useless this stat is we need look no further than it has the Bucs- with M Evans, C Godwin, and E Ebuka at the bottom. When healthy probably one of the top three WR rooms in the league. I agree with your overall point that the WR’s should be better and Beane needs to upgrade. I think he will. And I hope Beane doesn’t try and do it through the draft but instead FA (or a Diggs like combo) to get a proven commodity.

This reads like a made up stat to make Beane look bad. Beane spent a 1st on Diggs, a 1st on Kincaid, and used his first pick one year on Coleman. While Beane has been struggling w WRs since the Diggs debacle, he did bring in A Cooper and tried for Waddle. I would anticipate Beane making a huge effort this offseason to bring in a name WR.

I agree Beane is tied into the WR problem. But the amount of heat he gets for letting the radio guy get under his skin gets taken out of proportion IMO. Beane pretty much alluded to the WR as a problem by publically stating he tried for Waddle. Then signed Cooks. Beane didn't do well in addressing the WR problem left by the Diggs debacle. But it looks like he is going to try and do something about it.

If we're playing the "what if" game, how about: If the Bills win the Superbowl will TBD be able to vet the posters who can rationally discuss if this is the greatest era ever for the Bills? It seems some should be excluded from the discussion because of an incredible bias. Here we are "half-jokingly" discussing replacing the staff after winning an important away game with an understaffed, injured roster. An outstanding coaching game from all angles -offense, defense, motivation...and yet here we are in an OP talking about replacements? The Bills are in the mix once again as a Superbowl contender and here we are with posters hoping they lose.

The one I would like an explanation on, was the one where Pitt got the ball at the 25. Seemed like a similar situation where the Bills were penalized but then intentionally kicked the ball out of bounds. Romo said the rule would be revised at the end of the year.

DK Metcalf to Pitt.. G Pickens to Dallas.

Maybe not impossible but extremely, Extremely, improbable. And yes there are plenty of things to hold him accountable for, but many of those those things are positive.

"IF"...c'mon man. How exactly is a top 5 GM moved on from? Missing the Playoffs, maybe?...And does anyone really think that is happening. Yes, I agree with some frustration over the WR position (I wanted DK Metcalf bad). I hope Beane finds an excellent WR1 - either by trade or FA (Pickens is a possibility although a slight head case). But Beane does have a choice, and his job is not in jeopardy, and the season hasn't been wasted, and it isn't over. So, yeah, like wow.

I agree the Bills handled Denver with pretty much ease last year. I think Denver scored their first possession and that was pretty much it. I think D Henry is playing hurt/dinged. He is not as fast/quick as earlier in the season. Recovery is harder the older you get. And Balt can't afford to give him any rest. Balt won't want to give D Henry any type of injury designation outside of resting him thru practices.

In this instance, it's hard for me to buy into the Beane arrogance thing, when none of the big WR targets got moved. Olave, AJ Brown, Ridley, Wilson or Waddle. No one got them, so it's unfair to say Beane overvalued his draft choices compared to the others. I'm disappointed, I wanted a WR of the top variety listed above (although never considered Wilson or Waddle possibilities). I would have even liked Deebo and Von - but once again can't say Beane overvalued draft picks because no one got them. I didn't care for Meyers or Shaheed.

Get Simmons and Ridley!!! That would work.
