Beane needs to approach next season the way he did in 2018: treat it like a rebuild and try to offload as much as possible. That means accepting 2024, and probably 2025, as true down years. If they do it right, they can be competing again with a largely new roster (and new coach) by 2026.

Good player. Not a game-wrecker. Probably won't ever be. About what you'd expect out of an edge rusher drafted at the end of round 1.

Allen is 0-5 in Overtime, so no.

What is the allure with Daboll? Does no one remember that the offense also sucked at times when Daboll was OC? Or do we just zero in on a small sample size from January 2022?

Alright boys, time to break out the slide tackles.

McDermott made the mistake of being a defensive head coach and that doesn't mix with Cowherd's ongoing tirade about offensive coaches being the only coaches who win Super Bowls. Something that he only started talking about in the past two years. Cowherd was very pro McDermott before that.

I mean, who hasn’t picked off Josh Allen at this point? 😂

Pure gold.

I mean... you have to have inactive players every week. Whoever we replace him with would also be — wait for it — inactive.

Read the room, man. Read the room.

Prior to today, I thought maybe a big acquisition before the deadline could save this season. But now I don't think 1 guy isn't going to do it. And the core group of this roster is toast. A lot of aging starters with big contracts that will need to be replaced in the next two years. The Bills need to be acquiring picks because the drop-off is coming fast.

I don't like things I can't control — which includes the Bills, their offense, and Ken Dorsey — so, no, I am not happy!!! I should probably talk to someone. (actually, I'm pretty happy)

I've won quite a few fantasy football championships, thank you very much. I also scored, like, 3 touchdowns in my high school football days. And I won 5 super bowls with the bills in Madden 2001 franchise mode, so I know a thing or two.

"The Bills haven't had their best start to the season and have struggled even in games they are able to pull off the victory." Ah yes, nothing says struggles like winning 3 of 4 games by 20+ points. Two weeks ago, all anyone could talk about was how the Bills have the greatest DVOA ever for a 3-1 team. I get that the past 2 weeks have looked rough, but holy smokes, this is the NFL, not some SEC team playing out of conference games. Another thing, the Bills have started 4-2 in 3 of the past 4 seasons. Plenty of offensive duds in those years, too, even with Daboll running the O. And one more thing: In 2021, Cowherd had Beane/McDermott in his top 3 GM/Coach combos. But for the past year and a half he's been on a tyrade about offensive-minded coaches so now he's out on McD because it doesn't fit his new narrative.

At this point in Von's recovery, I would have much rather seen Epenesa out there at the end of the game over Von. Von looks like he doesn't have any burst or closing speed right now.

Everybody calm down. Tonight was just the Bills paying homage to and showing respect for the Tyrod Taylor years — nothing more.

I can't do this again this year, guys.

Wait, why would Dorian not accept the mission?

Wasn't my intention, but I suppose that was a very Chevy Chase-esque sentence.

I have dreaded the arrival of this day all season. Better to do it now and get it over with so we can all move on with our lives.

Also... I know Elam was badddddd but could this also indicate that Benford might be missing more time? Because if that's the case, oof.

At least we don't play the Titans this year!

Ugh. Did Kincaid not take Jiu Jitsu classes this summer?!

I'd say this team is exactly who we thought they were: the most confounding, impossible-to-judge, best-dvoa-ever-yet-somehow-simultaneously-disappointing collection of lovable rag-tag idiots the NFL has ever seen.

Elam was just making sure he played enough snaps today to make up for weeks 1-4. That's why he gave up all those receptions on 3rd downs.
