There’s a reason he signed a $5M contract and has yet to take a snap on defense.

There was a clip by Dan Orlavsky from ESPN who pleaded with NE not to start Maye behind this OL

Do you honestly think Mike Shula is a threat to take over as HC? Despite his last name, if McDermott was fired, he wouldn’t even get consideration as an interim.

Why would he “clear the decks” before signing a new contract extension in June 2023? It doesn’t exactly sound like someone being desperate. Besides there are several coaches on the staff with previous DC/OC experience. They usually are the ones given first crack as interim HC

This was a solid breakdown. I think Josh, play calling and the line play can get better. Shakir will help and Coleman should slowly improve. The big concern for me is the lack of talent at WR. If they don’t trade for someone, I guess the best option is to find a way to get the ball to Kincaid and Samuel…maybe even Knox

It’s not like he had a former head coach on his staff running the defense for six seasons or anything…

This is a terrible, laughable idea…but the better play would be to him as a short term (as in 1 a or 2 day) consultant to share the Jets playbook and strategies. Saleh doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would do this - but he has to be pissed at the Jets

They are playing Cover 1…not Cover 0. And yes, defenses don’t respect the Bills receivers on the outside. It’s going to stay like this until they make someone pay

He had chances. Go watch Dorsey’s final 6 games as OC. You think he was waiting for his counterpunch?

No, that was the Cook catch out of bounds.

This is where I am too. It’s frustrating because there doesn’t seem to be a dominating team in the AFC. My only complaint is that they didn’t draft another WR or two. Let those guys take their lumps as rookies going into season 2 where you can add maybe 1 piece to the room. I think they overvalued what Curtis Samuel and MVS would bring to the table

i don’t think the Bills viewed this roster as having a serious chance at the Super Bowl which is why they traded Diggs and moved on from vets like Mitch Morse.

That’s the problem and the reason why Beane called it a “team in transition.” This probably is not a Super Bowl caliber roster. They definitely aren’t at WR

I’ve always said I never liked this WR room. If you look at the group on paper they are probably among the worst in football. I don’t think it’s that they aren’t belong utilized… they just aren’t very good

His biggest indictment was the the trick play which his admitted was bad process and bad execution. If anything, before that the offense was starting to gel a bit. The running game actually performed well against a good Ravens interior and Josh started completing a few passes downfield. With that said, when the Bills can’t run the ball passing is going to be challenge when facing strong secondaries given the WR’s

The difference is Benjamin was a former 1 round draft pick with potential and was just 26 at the time of the trade. His salary was relatively modest and he was under contract in 2018 as well. The main issues I see with Adams are age, contract and salary as well as compensation. I can’t see him making this move

Yes… if I’m making the call I would trade the second. But I don’t think Beane will. If anything he’d be more inclined to trade a lower pick for a WR like Amari Cooper.

I saw that Cincy was charging a $99 for a ticket to a watch party against KC at Paycor stadium. I can see how the atmosphere would be cool but for me, I’d rather watch at home.

Adams in 2024 is the polar opposite of every player that the Bills are typically interested in trading for: - older - expensive - likely a 1 year rental - requires significant draft capital - will want his share of targets on offense The Bills need a WR like Adams this year but I highly doubt they make a serious attempt for him.

I thought if this game this week. Also the Week 2 drubbing against Miami the season before. Didn’t mean anything in January

My gripe as well. It’s odd because Beane said he didn’t want to duplicate skill sets at WR which is what he did with this roster. There’s still time left in the season but the performance last week in the passing game has left me skeptical of this group.

Not sure why people are roasting you… The central idea is questioning whether Brandon Beane did enough at WR. Obviously TBA, but if I had to make a prediction, I’d say “yes.” The fact that they are asking about Adams is evidence of this. Is there any top tier QB that has a worse support cast of skill players than Josh? Trading Diggs in April and the corresponding cap situation really limited what they could do. However, it’s not like there weren’t options. Beane could have traded up for a better WR in the draft, drafted another WR before or after Coleman or made a move to put someone better in the room than MVS. I think the plan was to run the offense through Shakir and Kincaid and distribute the ball to everyone else. That works when your running game is effective. When you have to rely on passing like in Baltimore that’s a problem.

I didn’t want him to be traded but was down on him after he choked against KC in the playoffs. My hope was draft a top WR to play 1 season with Diggs and move on. This was my main gripe as well. It usually takes a rookie a season or two before they can be a dependable target. I wanted them to go back-to-back picks at WR

This was always a concern with the WR room and the Bills have no one else to blame but themselves: Shakir - only WR that can separate (now injured) Coleman - doesn’t separate/rookie Hollins - doesn’t separate Samuel - non factor MVS - cooked When the Bills traded Diggs we thought Beane had something in mind to replace him. Maybe trade for Brandon Auiyuk or trading up trading up for Rome Odunze of Brian Thomas Jr. NOPE…just Keon Coleman and MVS

Hollins wasn’t really open which makes the play that much more brutal
