Man the wr market was CRAZY this offseason lol
-
I agree with you…seemed like Ben knew he was leaving one way or the other and kinda phased him out then dj knew Ben knew he was leaving which led to a weird scenario 😂
-
I defended mcd probably longer than I should’ve lol but he really did create kind of a logjam on the coaching staff. No idea what he saw in babich yet he kept him around.
promoting Brady might seem kinda silly to some looking at just HC but it allowed them to get another HC-ish level guy in Jim Leonard and bring in a veteran offensive mind for Brady to bounce ideas off of in Pete Carmichael while maintaining some semblance of continuity on one side of the ball

Honestly I don't feel he was that good with his decision making last year, so I understand the low ranking. Still one of the best, interested to see how he does this season. Quote from the article:
One veteran NFL defensive coach was critical of Mahomes' overall play: "Mahomes struggled even before the injury last year -- held the ball too long and forced throws when it wasn't necessary. Still has a tendency to chase the big play instead of keeping the offense on schedule." But even that coach added, "If they don't have him, they win three games, tops [last year]."
I feel like there’s only so much you can do with shaky oline/decent WRs/bad running game. The anonymous scouts always make it sound like it’s so easy to just string long drives together with all those deficiencies but chasing the big play might be your only hope of scoring points a lot of the time
I’ve used the same to defend Josh at various points in his career so it seems like it’s only fair to give mahomes the same luxury as much as i don’t want to 😂

I think we were all nervous they would retain everyone but dumping mcd and promoting Brady let them bring in some fresh defensive minds and a veteran offensive coach for Brady to bounce ideas off of. Feels like a great move now to me

I think in large respects is accurate, the Patriots got better I believe (we will see how the drafted players play out) there is coaching uncertainty may be better may be worse... Schedule is tough... but clearly tougher for both teams... I do not think they are factoring that in... The fight fire with fire is a bit out there... we did go out for years and sign folks to bad contracts in an attempt to get over the hump, we now have cap issues and cannot possibly compete on the FA market with teams that have massive cap space. This strategy failed miserably for Beane/McD in so much as we simply have been very poor at acquiring defensive and WR talent via FA and that has strung our CAP out to a bad place. Add in that the drafting has been medicore at best in these area's and you have a situation where it’s tough to get better. I think this may be Beane's year to put up or shut up. So bottom line, they are not wrong, but the post fails to recognize that our sitting tight isnt because we dont see the lack of supremely talented people, rather we were bad at acquiring it. They also over estimate the impact of their schedule on their W/L if the equal the W/L last year this year color me impressed...
I think everything kinda fell the pats way last year and they’re gonna regress a pretty good amount tbh. Feels like they’re underselling that to nitpick the bills. pats fans don’t want to see it so they’re only looking at half the equation to question why the bills are favored in most places
pats had a generational run of good luck last year…bengals with no burrow and Chase suspended,Lamar goin out at halftime,historically easy schedule because they were very bad the year before, chargers beat to hell in the playoffs, dolphins straight up tanking, Bo nix breaking his ankle the week before the afc championship and so on. It was honestly wild haha
you hear a lot of ‘the schedules were only 3 games different’ but it was really closer to 5 games different regular season then they got a huge gift in the afc championship (caused by the bills ironically enough 😂)

no one bet on him being a WR1 at 10m perthey simply were bolstering the platoon
Yea that’s fair…should’ve worded it a little differently. I think they signed/drafted a few guys hoping someone could step up into a bigger role at a discount and nobody really did

Thats an excellent post that pretty much sums up the offseason roster building for the team. (You didn't think the signing of Mike Dana from KC was that one big piece? LOL. But he actually is a solid player.) I agree about the lower floor/higher ceiling level of players. More risk/reward which was not McDermott. Lets hope that is what we need to change our fortunes as the season plays itself out.
I am very excited about the upcoming season with a new stadium, new coaching staff, and a lot of new players. But with still the foundational all time piece of Josh Allen in his prime. Lets go Bills.
I think the DC/defensive philosophy shift is a bigger change than any roster building could’ve been. To me you’ve got a qb you know is gonna score points in the playoffs so why not pair that with a defense that brings interesting disguised blitzes and can force a huge turnover when needed at the risk of giving up points that the mcd defense would’ve given up anyway 😂
also promoting Brady gave him the opportunity to bring in a veteran offensive mind to bounce ideas off of. I really think the coaching staff improved a lot and could’ve gotten a similar roster in the past over the top but I guess we’ll see haha

Starting with the 2nd half of our game with the Pats in NE, Maye struggled. I think the Bills showed the blueprint on how to defend against him. This culminated in one of the most dreadful Super Bow performances ever. He also has small hands and is prone to fumbling. This will never go away.
Someone out there had a good article about how bad maye was against cover 6..I don’t think he saw it much until that second half of the bills rematch and then teams started throwing that at him pretty often and they were wildly successful when doing so.
If that’s a real weakness and the pats stay in team to beat status they will continue to see more and more of that until he figures it out. Feels like most DCs are a little too stubborn on a regular season game to game basis though and dont mix it up enough. They ran into the team in the Super Bowl that typically runs it the most and saw a lot of it in each playoff game
-
I’m sure it’s been said but he needed that second superbowl imo and I think he’ll just miss…idk how to justify Russ getting in and Eli maybe not (although maybe they both do)
-
Palmer could be a good wr3…I think the bills bet on him being able to make the jump to a decent wr1 and that didn’t work out though.. it’ll be interesting to see what happens

What is funny is they played a very similar schedule to the Bills last year. The Pats had the easiest and Bills second easiest. All but three games were the same and you could argue playing against the Bills twice should be considered harder than Bills playing the Pats, if the Bills are so much better.
Those three different opponents were about as different as they could be though to be fair lol the three teams the pats got were absolutely dreadful and the bills got some perennially great teams. Three games against three good teams instead of three horrendous teams has a huge impact on a division race.
I don’t believe bills were second easiest either granted some of that is cuz they got the pats twice..i gotta doublecheck though i had it all in a spreadsheet somewhere 😂. I think if the pats didn’t exist last year people woulda been all over the broncos schedule instead which also ended up being one of the easiest a team has had in the last 5 years or so.
The bills were like 6th or 7th easiest last season going from memory. Bears and chargers were two other playoff teams with easier schedules than Buffalo on top of Denver and NE…can’t remember who the other team was

Maye is a good QB. he's very obviously a tier below the Allen/Mahomes types and I don't think any sane person would argue otherwise. But yeah he was historically bad in the playoffs and feasted on an easier schedule last year. This year is going to be a great test for him. My guess is he always remains in the middle of that second tier (which is good enough)
It’ll be interesting to see if teams continue to throw more cover 6 at him. He was one of the worst qbs in the league against cover 6
some teams seem to not sway from what they like to do on defense no matter what but it feels like any team that threw a heavy dose of cover 6 at him down the stretch was crazy successful with it.

If McDermott comes back, and I pray he doesn't, is because Brady has turned into a disaster as HC
About as likely as Stefon Diggs coming back, neither will happen.
I can’t see mcd ever being back in any capacity. Whether by just bad personnel evaluation or what the guy just didn’t really attract any defensive coaching talent and it was always a huge liability when it mattered most

The only two teams that traded back into the 1st round were the Jets and Titans. Not exactly the models of Super Bowl caliber.
I feel like you’ve oversimplified this a bit personally. With this draft board any gm drafting in the late first needing linebackers and a run stuffing DT badly is trading back.
the chiefs,eagles,pats etc don’t give up 75 ppg in the playoffs 😂 I don’t think they were down a second round pick on top of that either like the bills were
I really don’t like any of the trade up moves tbh. Really feel like the chiefs have too many holes to be doing it although they did get good players assuming woods returns to his 2024 form. Pats needed a tackle but drafted a LT that can’t run block well when they needed a RT than can imo
lemon I’ll guess we’ll see…that’s probably my hot take of the three lol he seems like he could go the ‘slot only that can’t hang outside’ route at an nfl level but time will tell. I don’t think a team like Buffalo without a second round pick and kinda loaded at slot could roll the dice on a trade up for lemon

You can never please everybody. Those 3 players were probably the overall fan favorites at or near #26. Don't confuse a few loud mouths with a majority opinion.
I think of your 3 lemon would’ve been well received initially because he’s a big name but he didnt even make much sense as a bills trade up target imo when you start to think about it.
another mostly slot wr without great physical traits that doesn’t win over the top a ton. Scouts are kinda battling it out over if he can succeed consistently outside at an nfl level… I’d imagine that’s why he fell a bit. Bills were not in a great position to trade up into the mid 1st and their roster has established veterans in that role already.
lemon at 26 if he fell that far somehow is a no brainer but if the bills had to trade one or both of their remaining early ish picks with all the other holes it gets pretty dicey. You better make sure you’re getting THE guy if your next pick is like round 5 and lemon mostly played slot so far

I have two questions after that. What was the over under on trades tonight? and does Beane have a polymarket account?
maybe we can get him arrested like that soldier
I think if you’re trading at least once in the late first it makes sense to trade 2 or 3 total times to get to the early second but that’s getting treated as weird for some reason
if your list of guys would be a reach at 26 they’re probably still gonna be a reach at 28 and 31 too

I think people might have more time for this if your argument wasn't "we should have draft someone for a position we already have covered."
That’s the issue I have with the complaints…even if cooper is good it doesn’t even move the needle unless he morphs into a completely different style of player at the nfl level. Concepcion is possibly gonna have that issue too although they might’ve taken a shot at him at 26

A trade up for Lemon, Concepcion, or Mesidor wouldn't have cost much and probably would have made most fans happy. Not saying that would have been the right move, but it's silly to say that people would have complained about any outcome when there were clear paths to fan favorites.
People would’ve complained heavily about two of those im certain…mesidor people were already complaining we were gonna draft him at 26 😂.
lemon might’ve been received ok depending on the return.

I GUARANTEE Beane did not think the Jets would trade up to take Cooper.
Then Beane got pis***d and traded out.
Y’all are being very strange about cooper when everyone mutually complained about us only having slot receivers all year last year 😂. You want him to spend his only pick in the first two rounds on pretty much the only prototype of player we don’t need
Cooper was out once they traded for dj Moore imo

We were the only team trading back.
The Eagles - up.
Houston - up.
NE - up
KC - up.
But what do they know.
Who did those other two teams trade with to move up if we’re the only ones trading back 😂

That changed for me when Cooper fell to 26
The Texans trade was good. Even trading to 31.
This is too f***ing stupid.
What is the deal with cooper lol I’m really not seeing him as a fit on the bills roster at all for reasons I thought this board mutually agreed on during the season last year. The whole roster is slot guys 😂. Frankly I’d rather just take a shot at multiple raw but physically talented prospects than draft a guy that even if he hits doesn’t help the team much based on the current wr room
Boston I don’t like either but at least if he develops it’s something they don’t really have much of on the roster. Still could be a Keon repeat though so I can’t hate on passing on that in the first-

Cooper is a stud we passed on to select a LB in round 2. This is ridiculous
Genuinely don’t know what this guy even adds to a team with Shakir/dj Moore already. Would’ve been a wasted pick imo. Might work out well for someone without a guy filling those sorts of roles though

At some point you just play the game and make a selection. No one can predict the future. Beane is doing his smartest guy in the league bit as usual.
I’m thinking he’s gonna start packaging picks to move up and it’ll make more sense but we’ll see 😂

That’s kind of apples and oranges on the DJ Moore point…the ravens offense was absolutely stacked and the qb/derrick Henry running game opened everything up for guys like zay flowers. Dj Moore was in a much worse situation and if he’s got similar per game averages to zay flowers I think that is a point against zay tbh
