Would you: 1st round pick or 2nd round and Coleman

Yeah, I’m offering a 2nd and not thinking twice about it.

Does this seem fast, considering McD’s comments? To be clear, I’m happy this is happening.

Crazy. He was a projected top 10 receiver this year. get it done!

Sorry I missed your trip. Del Rossi’s has amazing Cheesesteaks and Pizza.

Panthers 31 Bills 20 Bills come out strong initially, winning the toss and taking the ball. However, once the scripted plays run out, the Bills offense flounders. Brady force feeds passes to Cook which eventually leads to a turnover. The Bills start to unravel, and the Panthers put up 250 yards on the ground.

Assuming Milano is gone next season, would you want Williams to start or would you want to bring in someone else? If it’s the latter, which is what I believe, then I would not put him in bold.

For clarity, the Bold players were meant to be impactful starters that have positively contributed this season. I'm not talking about a quarter or two of good play, like Groot or Coleman. But players who have overall received positive graves and are seeing a healthy amount of snaps. I'm not looking at their entire career. I would not consider Bishop or Coleman to have made an impact on this team as of yet, even as starters. Now, is that coaching? Maybe. But considering they were both drafted in the second round, albeit just last year, would you say they have come anywhere close of producing to their expectations? Hawes, Davis, and Williams are not starters. I understand that roughly a third of your roster aren't going to start and this team operates with a heavy rotation at most positions. I'm not saying these guys are terrible either. Honestly, I struggled not putting Taron Johnson in bold, but he also hasn't had a great year as of now either. But Beane has been talking about getting impact players for years, yet his drafts have typically found anything but that over the past few years. Have we hit a home run in the past few years? Torrence is probably the best drafted player in that time spam, with Kincaid showing potential this year. I don't find that to be acceptable.

There’s no part of me that believes Brady knows how to utiilze a #1 receiver in his offense. It doesn’t matter if we trade for someone else or not. At first I thought Diggs fell off a cliff, but seeing him in Texas and New England, as well as just how all of our receivers have faired since he took over, makes me believe Brady is the issue.

You were totally right to call that out. I cant believe i missed that. I was just messing with you with my response, hence the 😋 I bolded the players that are starters and that we are happy with. If you think Coleman and Bishop have lived up to their draft status as of now, we can agree to disagree. To me, the percentage of moves made by Beane over the last three years that have paid off is less than expected.

Yeah, but they already killed that when they adjusted how teams had to line up years ago. This new rule didn’t really make it worse.

How ***** dare you 😋 Oh, not in the slightest. McD can go too for all I care. I just wanted to focus on the singular here, multiple focuses typically go off the rails.

And yet we only scored 14 last week 🤬

I honestly like the new kickoff rule. Injuries are down, there’s some excitement, and over 80% are returned. I think they got this one right.

For a penalty that some say happens on every single play, 10 yards is too crushing to a drive. There’s no malicious intent, nor is there fear of injury.

This^

Which leads me to believe that McD is not worried about his job at all.

Okay, I'm in the sky is falling section with most people, but even I'm not rethinking if it was a good idea to let Edmunds walk. Edmunds did not deserve the contract he got and had zero big play ability. Benford isn't playing great right now overall, but he is still making the occasional play.

This feels different to me that our prior two game losing streaks for a variety of reasons: 1 - We've looked bad for 4 games now. This is more than us just being "off" against a good team/scheme 2 - Josh clearly looks rattled and defeated. He's been bottled up before and made bad decisions, but this looks different on a cerebral level 3 - We are playing incredibly sloppy and undisciplined, to which the players can't even guess as to why Overall, it looks like this team has just lost their culture and everyone but the FO seems to notice.

Is that really why? Have the coaches spoken to that? Just curious

Add Groot and Knox to that

All I’m saying is that we don’t know if Hairston or Strong would have been good enough to start.

I would argue Walker is now the starter with Oliver now, with Jones and Sanders as backups. Coleman was meant to be Palmer is a third if their starters, as it’s just him, Shakir, and Coleman. Samuel is a rotation piece. We have no idea if Hairston was going to start. Strong was a long shot, and only was seeing action because Hairston got hurt and Tre is slow. I’ll give you the LBs, but when are they ever healthy? Relying on them is a sin. If your draft picks get hurt, while unfair, that tends to fall on the GM. And none of his top two picks from the last two years are doing anything. Now, with ALL of that being said, I’m more worried about the culture than the roster right now. Josh looks absolutely defeated. These guys are starting to quit and lose faith. We’ve seen way more injured teams play harder than this. I think McD and Beane might be at a crossroads, even when we get players back. But you also assume no one else will get injured, or injured again.

I'm not dumping on him and think he could have a solid future. I only bolded the players that are starters or making an impact. He needs to earn his roster spot at this point.

AJ has been dead to me since 2024.
