The reason behind it was last year it was called about 1/3 of the averages of the past 2 decades. It is quite the annoying penalty, but it’s also quite annoying to see your receivers constantly interferes with.
I’d prefer it to be more like last year honestly. Grabs like we saw against Diggs at Tampa for sure should be called, but I can’t stand the ticky tacky stuff. Let them play a bit. The main reason it annoys me is because there doesn’t seem to be a ton of consistency game to game (not just talking about Bills games only BTW). The obvious stuff is what should be called, like a Jersey being pulled away from the wr.
Has anyone noticed that trend that some of the better wr’s have been getting good at “falling” after the db barely puts their hand on them? I believe Evans did this to us last year once or twice. I’m afraid we will see a ton of this s**t this season.

I wouldn't be surprised if the scuffle was staged.
It looked pretty natural in the video. These guys have enough going on, I doubt they are planning staged scuffles with a chance for a silly injury.

yeah I don’t think Jordan did that to Kyler…I do think Josh’s size and physicality makes it more welcoming for Jordan to feel he can do a little extraHow could you know if he did or didn’t do that to Kyler? That’s pure speculation. You’d have to follow Cards camp to even have a chance at knowing.
The rest of your comment may hold some merit, either way it’s pretty much like nothing. It’s got to be hard to do their job when all of sudden the red no contact qb comes running at you.

The Bills star players have been healthy for 3 straight years. We are due for a big time injury. Its literally inevitable.
We lost Tre for the season last year. He is definitely a star player.

I don't begrudge the players for getting what they can, when they can get it.
I just think it stinks that teams are forced to pay ridiculous amounts of money to their QBs, making it difficult to build around them. And even if they can manage to build around them, they will still be faced with tough decisions/incapable of having any kind of continuity across the board.
I actually kind of like this. It adds more disparity and variety. I also like to see how teams navigate which qb’s to pay.
I also things it’s cool to see the really good qbless teams pick up a good young guy and make runs (Seahawks).
What else does having a high paid qb require? Good drafting. Staying on the top with top qb contracts requires help from many levels and most especially the qb himself.
Hopefully Beane can keep it up on the drafting end, because we know Josh will (I believe in Beane btw).

Is it just me, or do Beane's contracts frequently look like amazing values about two years into them?
I know that part of it is just the nature of the market. The "highest paid at his position" at the time of signing quickly becomes the sixth highest paid as other players sign deals.
Still, the value I see in Beane's contracts seems to go beyond that.
Whatever he may lack in pure player evaluation, he sure seems to make up for in shrewd contract maneuvering. Credit also to former Bills fan punching bag turned afterthought Jim Overdorf, who Beane says plays a big part in the specifics of the deals.I think this is also a reflection of the, “culture” we hear so much about. The Bills get guys who want to win and understand if they truly want that, they have to be flexible with contracts, while still being paid their worth. It’s a fine balance for sure, as you said, Beane gets it don’t.

Highly doubt it. The kid has a huge learning curve to begin with coming from a very weak conference. He also fell to the 5th round for a reason. Can late round picks make it?! Absolutely, but it usually takes a very long time.
There is 0.1% chance that plays are even being made for him. If he makes the team, he won't even be dressed without injuries.
Did you watch the video? It honestly sounds like you didn’t. There is a couple VERY specific examples of how him and Cook together can change how the defense defends our offense, you know, things that defenses did last season, that we know have two counters for.
Also, Shakir opening things up for our offense doesn’t mean he is going to have a monster season, in fact, in the video Brett mentioned that a good year would be around 500 yards or so, but his value would be more so in relation to the rock/papers/scissors games that defenses and offenses play.
Look how our offense evolved during the season last year. With Shakir we have someone who excellent at alot of different things, which means, it’s very possible our offense evolves during this up coming season in ways that incorporate Shakir, while keeping defenses on their heels.
Lastly about late picks taking a long time to do anything, I’ll references Gabe’s rookie season. He contributed quite well, and right off the bat. If Shakir can provide something close to Gabe Davis year 1 production, while providing our offense with more versatility/counters, that’s good boost.

All I am saying is that if he's ever going to realize his potential it's going to be with Josh Allen. Allen turned Beasley into a first team All Pro
Additionally, Austin came into the league right before offenses really embraced the pre snap movement/shuffle pass throws (think how we use McKenzie) that have become so popular, and that style suits his skill set. If Austin was just entering the league again, I think he’d see more success and be utilized more effectively.
That doesn’t mean it will work out here though, but as you said, working with Josh Allen is about as good of a chance as he can get. Also, if you watch his interview, the guy has such a great mindset and perspective on football and his career. Great for the locker room.

Shakir isn't getting cut, I agree definitely. Depending what happens, he possibly could be put on PS though. I think McKenzie makes it for sure. I'd be really surprised if he doesn't.
Shakir would be snagged off of the practice squad. That’s not an option if we want to keep him.

Its a way to stash a rookie without them getting picked up by another team.
Stevenson last year. I think Hodgins was the year before that.
Shakir is going to play an important part of the rock/paper/scissors game on offense, even as a rookie.
Check out this analysis of Shakir. I didn’t realize he could do some work from the backfield. With him and Cook (plus the other weapons), our offense will be very hard to stop, because we will have counter moves all over, plus we have guys who can win 1v1 as it is.

Dorsey isn’t getting fired a month into the season.
Brady is likely the OC in waiting for when Dorsey is hired to be a HC.
Dorsey would have to do some Urban Meyer type s**t to get fired that quick. If the offense struggles, he has to be given time. If the Bills management is going to have that short of a leash, you don’t make that hire in the first place.

How are we rated that high? Quessenberry is another Ty Nsehke. Brown and Bates would be backups on most rosters. Morse is a slice above average and both Saffold and Dawkins one more slice above that. All that considered, our OL is pretty average. This evaluation seems quite biased.
There were times last season when our RB's had no holes to run through, albeit with injuries. Allen was pressured more times than any other QB (185) and he was hurried way more than any other QB -- 95 times vs 76 for Hurts who was #2. The only significant upgrade was at LG and the RG position is even weaker than last year.
You’re also discounting Dion not being himself for the majority of the season. When healthy, he is the best player on our o-line and when he got better our o-line also did better last year. Sure he isn’t the sole the reason, but it’s also worth noting and not discounting as you did.
It’s probably better to think of the additions we picked in regards to the end of the season o-line play. That was more in line with how our o-line should have played, and will play this year (+ the additions).

I respectfully disagree. It took years to develop him into one on the best TE’s in the league. TE’s are an important part of a quality NFL offense these days. I’d pay him what the market expects for the talent that he is and keep weapons for Josh at every skill position. Surround Josh with talent and let him do his thing. I know the cap is an issue………..but there are ways.
Full disclosure, I was higher on Knox than most early, even with his dropsies. Now that he looks like a top TE, I’d just hate to see him wind up somewhere else. There is a way.
Even before the breakout year, there were flashes that showed what he could be. The drops help him back in our eyes, but the flashes were impressive! If we can extend him before the season to spread out the cost, I’m good. I trust Knox, and I trust Beane.
.
Perhaps it comes down to something as simple as Knox vs Tremaine as far as resigning goes? Their costs should be pretty close.
I’m sure Beane can find a way to keep both too, but at a minimum, it should be as simple as this.

Then he should say so. He has not.
I believe Bienemy is likely an a-hole. But to drop this on a radio show with no other explanation...2 years after the Chiefs tabled him in the playoffs---it certainly seems odd he would feel compelled to bring this up. And McCoy is about McCoy--that doesn't make him unique.
Just because you believe someone should say something a certain way, doesn’t mean they have to say it that specific way. There are so many subtleties in communication, everyone has their own style and flavor. You should never expect someone to communicate a certain way only.
Here’s a question. Would it have been better for McCoy to say something much closer to the event? Does it look worse saying something closer to the event (and possibly more emotional messaging being so close to the event) or saying something a couple years later?
For me personally, I see waiting to say something as the least sour grapes approach. McCoy didn’t come off as overly emotional about it all, and he was very coy about it all. I personally don’t see anything wrong with he how handled this.

McCoy brought this up unprompted. I's been two years and he drops this at the end of some radio show.
Why do you care what he says?
Let's recall what McCoy is claiming he knows for a fact--that Bienemy isn't getting hired because he talks poorly to some players.
How does he know why GM's/owners aren't hiring Bienemy? Who told him this is the reason? He should follow up his comment by telling us how he came to know this is why.
It’s pretty obvious McCoy is speculating why based off of personal experience. In addition, would it be unreasonable to suspect he may have heard some information either first, second, or third hand about reasons a team or two didn’t hire him? Bienemy has interviewed a lot and McCoy’s been around the league enough to have many league wide contacts.
I don’t know why you are on such a crusade here. It’s not without reason to assume McCoy might know a little bit more than any of us. That being the case, his comment can’t simply be dismissed by a reasonable person.

He's been a hood ornament SB winners for a couple of years. So what? Reid humiliated him by not even dressing him for the final playoff game. Arians wouldn't put him in the playoffs the next season either.
He's delusional regarding his value.
I have no info on him. I assumed the obvious: he doesn't get hired because every GM knows he doesn't run that Offense. So why would they want him as HC? And why would McCoy bring it up 2 years later?
What did he divulge--that's his quote: "he talks to them in a certain way"...no elaboration nor has he since this comment blew up on twitter.
He's bitter, no other explanation makes sense for this outburst.
You know it is possible for him to be both bitter and telling the truth. As another poster said, we have all run into those people who are intelligent, but can’t read a room to save their life. People like this project different personas like quiet and passive, or aggressive and loud (like a bull in a china shop), really awkward, etc. We’ve all seen it from time to time.
it’s very clear Bieniemy isn’t getting a job for more reasons than simply not being considered the architect of KC’s offense. Think about the info about Bieniemy from the Chiefs world (the one that was redacted). Even though it was redacted, where there’s smoke there is fire, and Shady’s comment just adds more smoke (not proof, but info that it may be true).
If he really is the type that has some sort of communication issue, I’m sure it’s obvious to the interviewers during the coach hiring process, and more often than not, those traits are going to hurt being in a head coach position.
In the end, we don’t know. But Shady worked with him, interacted with him, so he is going to know better than any of us, and he alluded to Bieniemy having some sort of communication issue. We also know he hasn’t been able to land a head coaching job. At this point, it’s hard to discount that there might be to this than him simply working with Andy Reid as an O coordinator.

Listen, at 48 years old now, I'm not the wisest man ever to walk this planet. Far from it.
But what I have learned is that no matter how much you think you know (and by second guessing multi-million dollar professionals you clearly think you know better), you don't know SQUAT!
No more comment. Just drill that into your head. Trust me, you will be so better off the rest of your life if you can get this concept into your dumb head:
1. Rule #1 - YOU DON'T KNOW SQUAT!!!!
2. Rule #2 - if you think you do know better than everyone else who's actually PAID to make these decisions, like B Beane and McDermott, then please refer back to Rule #1.
Seriously, for those who brush this off now and say I don't know what the F I'm talking about. If you are minimally blessed in this life at all that the Big Guy Upstairs gives you just a hint of smarts, you will surely, someday, eventually, read what I'm posting here and understand that I'm absolutely correct.
Just that some of us have already figured that out, and we laugh/cry/whatever at these stupid posts you choose to make. And sometimes, if you browse back through the history of this website, you will see others like me who try so hard to send you a message you really need to hear.
The OP and others like him need to read up on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Essentially, when someone doesn’t know a subject well, they think they know it all in regards to that subject. Then the more one learns, the less they believe they know about that subject, until they truly are experts in that subject and understand that they are.

For me it's still Mahomes and the Chiefs until proven otherwise. And as much as some folks believe that Mahomes and the Chiefs are going to steeply decline this year deep down I think Mahomes is going to have his best season ever and prove what a generational talent he truly is especially with all the doubts cast after Hill was traded to Miami. Also let's not kid ourselves here, until the Bills beat the Chiefs in a playoff game nothing else truly matters so hopefully they get that matchup again sometime next January.
Best season statistically? If so, what makes you say that? the Chiefs will continue to see 2 high looks, limiting the big plays, and now no Tyreek who was good for big time plays and thus big time stats.
Of course Mahomes will play very well this season, but I believe it’s a stretch to think he will have his best season yet (statistically speaking). Perhaps best season as far as taking what’s available, moving the ball, and overall offensive success (as in points scored, not so much stats success). If that’s the case, I certainly can’t discount that.
The AFC is loaded and the Chiefs have a hard schedule to go with their very hard division. Like many say, the Chiefs can’t be discounted, however, that doesn’t mean Mahomes is going to have his best year. I don’t think Mahomes has best statistical season this year, too much going against that.

Well, that's interesting about his limitations in pass defense. I'll have to reshape my thinking.
As someone else said, they didn't take him to be a situational player. There were several front office comments saying he can wear the green dot - that is, he's the guy you want running your defense.
And yes, I hear you about Johnson, but I think McDermott wants a bigger, run oriented guy on the field.
It will be interesting to see how they use him, and how long it will take to get him there. If you saw his press conference after he was drafted, he is super-smart. He talked about how he will learn the whole defense - first learn his position, then learn all the other positions. He develops an in-depth understanding of everything going on out there. I think McDermott wants that on the field.
Consider this. With Levi our defense had to play to cover for him some. Now that we picked up Elam we will have two athletic outside corners (when Tre’s healthy). Perhaps if Bernard has some pass coverage limitations (Cover1 mentioned more about his deeper pass coverage abilities, like how Tremaine can cover the deep middle) but the two more athletic outside corners can allow the defense to cover a potential limitation from Bernard on some of the deeper stuff.
Ultimately, like you mentioned about Bernard’s ability to be a mlb (green dot), perhaps this move was made to replace Tremaine after this season?
Bernard is definitely the guy I’m most excited to see in training camp and pre season. Just to see how he is used and how he performs. He sounds like someone who will have a role year 1, even if that’s lb #3 and special teams.-

A corner that played on a dumpster fire team with no pass rush and No culture. I don’t put very much stock into 7th rd picks, so o see like taking a chance on a guy that we can cut if he sucks. Our coaching staff has had success with every corner they’ve gotten their hands on. Risk vs reward leans towards Johnson over a 7th pick. If we cut him, who cares. It’s a 7th rd pick
To add, it was a 2024 7th round pick. That’s like less than nothing. Chiefs can easily recoup that pick next draft too.
One thing about the Bills not making a deal for this guy. Even though the Bills have done a great job at cb’s brought into the team, perhaps part of that reason is by being selective in who they choose?

Having listened to Cosell, now I understand why I'm excited about this draft.
Liking Elam is a given, whether you like the trade up or not.
Here's what Cosell said about Cook: The OC's job is to make the QB's job as easy as possible. The less the QB has to think about what to, the more he can just think about executing, so the big thing you can do for the QB is to allow him to know what the defense will, and to know it as soon as possible. Post-snap reads make things difficult for the QB.
When a guy like Cook, a true dual threat, is in the huddle, the Defensive Coordinator doesn't know if he's defending a heavy pass formation or a heavy run formation, because he doesn't know where Cook will be positioned. That forces the DC to go to his base defense, whatever that is, to have the best chance at defending whatever is coming. And when that happens, the OC has done his job, because the QB knows he's looking at the base defense, and he knows where he's supposed to attack the base defense. Running holes get bigger, one receiver or another gets free in open space, either because he had a mismatch or because of where the defense is forced to leave big seams in the zone.
That's what Cook can do for a team, and there aren't many teams that have a guy like that.
And then it dawned on me that Bernard is the opposite side of the same story. The Bills played a lot of nickel last season - it was their base defense. I think Cosell said they led the league, so the QB always had a good idea of where to attack the Bills. If Bernard can make the grade, the 4-3 will become the base defense. And one would think that then the Bills would be vulnerable to versatility just like other teams will be vulnerable to the Bills with Cook in the lineup. But, no. With Bernard in the lineup, they can be 4-3 or in nickel, interchangeably, because Bernard can be a safety, or Bernard occasionally may even be a nickel back. Bernard can take the tight end, leaving a safety free to roam.
The point is that Cook can force Bills' opponents to go to their base defense, and Bernard can make it difficult for other teams to do the same to them.
I like your point, and there is a good merit to it. However, Taron Johnson is no slouch (he’s becoming one of the best slot corners) and we would be taking him off of the field for a rookie. Also (I only heard the Cover1 guys talk about this), but it sounds like Bernard doesn’t have good hip movement which will hurt his ability to play pass coverage, and then combine that with this lack of top end speed, and it’s not even guaranteed he can vary a defender down the field.
Bernards films shows him being at his best in either close to mid range, and shooting gaps with quickness and agility (good at avoiding blocks and not engaging). To me, this feels like a Klein replacement with some potential to give us more options in the 4-3 defense. We needed depth at lber and we got it.
I’m curious how Bernard compares to Taron in a slot/big safety role, but Taron is damn good, and it would be alot to expect Bernard to take his starting spot during the season, and especially early in the season.

If Allen gets hurt because we failed to protect him, I’m going to beyond livid.
We signed Saffold, matched Boettgers offer, and drafted two RT’s last year and there has only been 1 round of the draft. Chill! Our team is in good shape and let’s see how the draft shakes out.

Anyone still worried when he scramble every so often?
Hes sliding a lot more now, and if memory serves, all of his injuries over the last four years were in the pocket.
He can handle the occasional scramble. Again he’s much better at sliding now than in 18.
Allen in year 3 against the Raiders was injured while out of the pocket (but looking to pass, not run). Granted he finished the game and didn’t miss any games from the injury, but he was certainly hurt.

The CB vet signing doesn't necessarily have to be done before the draft though. If the large number of FA CBs are still there, no need to rush into a signing. Haden/Gilmore/Fuller/Nelson/Callahan/Rhodes/Jenkins/Sherman - Beane's staring 'em down, he'll get one to break for a $3-4M deal. And if they don't accept it before the draft, the price goes down after the draft - because 5 CB needy teams will have just addressed the position with top 2 round picks.
Secondly, the draft is for the future. So the pick may be of small significance to our winning the Super Bowl and more integral to the overall decade of dominance we will be experiencing under the Josh era (and yes, I am hoping a Williams/Burk/Watson type influencer).
Good point about possibly waiting until after the draft. It certainly seems Beane has made his price point clear and it’s a matter who takes it. Playing for a super bowl contender, even if making less than one wanted, has be a perk for some.
About the rookie signing contributing to a Super Bowl win, I was being facetious. Basically, as long we win the Super Bowl this year, I’m good ☺️ But your right, our draft picks need to be made more with the future in mind. It seems like cb, rb, iol, and wr are the positions that have a chance of more immediate contribution to one degree or another.
Question, assuming we don’t sign a vet cb (or atleast starter quality level) before the draft, does that make you want cb in the first over the wr’s you listed? Would you be willing to wait for a cb in the second/third or later?
Personally, I don’t know. I’d be happy with a number of directions, we really are in a nice place going into this draft. I trust the wizard to make the right call.

How many trades does Beane make the next 3 weeks?

Exactly. A trade guarantees a team gets the player, instead of having to compete with other teams. A trade is never out of question with Beane, especially when we have good depth.
