All this tells me is the Chiefs are playing chess while we are playing checkers.
We should be showing the Chiefs nothing of value in the regular season, or at the very least, plan B. Use the regular season to setup the offseason.
Even the 4th down play was the Chiefs sending a different pressure than we’d seen all game. Meanwhile, we ran the same stuff repeatedly.
This is the difference in the games. They are one step ahead of us.
You just summed up my problem with McDermott.
The more injuries you have the more creative you should be. Cb blitzes, major risk taking should be considered. Not what we get , especially on defense.

i would even be happy if he just develops into an adequate starter or even the Safety 3 role in 2026 … I suspect that Washington might have kept him on a minimum deal if he was giving off Hyde/Poyer vibes ..We are best at developing dbs and safeties. (I'll know I'm wrong if we draft a safety high lol)

This is 1 of the next Hyde/Poyer. Watch.

We are not getting to the Graham and Carter range. We just aren't. So let's leave that to the side for now.... who are the guys that "fill" this draft and match our needs that you would want the Bills to consider trading up for in say the teens or the early 20s? Because that is a realistic conversation to have.
You think we have to move up to get K Grant if he's a major target?

A trade is imminent. we’re not keeping 10 rookies. We could trade out to later draft that’s a possibility or we could take a big swing and try to go get the missing piece. That’s my stance and I hope we do it.
I think this is accurate. If Beane views this draft as weak we may trade back to next year. Honestly it's smart if that's an accurate assessment of the draft.

That's a tonne of dough for a DE with a girl's name.
Ah, sure thing there Sydney.

Nah, what we need is a jag, hear me out...

People seem pretty split I think on who is more to blame for not having a title. Seems like it's close to consensus that we have top 3rd of the league coach and gm.
I still lean mcd as more at fault, though it's close. I just don't think he has the creativity at the end of the day to take out top coaches and overall his DEF has been putrid in the playoffs. But I see the other side. We lack elite playmakers. That's on Beane.

See I think Von is a good example of Beane NOT taking risks.
Beane could have traded for Von 5 months prior when the Rams got him. But Beane didnt want to give up the 2nd round pick. THAT would have been a risk.
What happened? Rams trade for him and they win the Super Bowl. We needed ONE stop against Mahomes that year and I think Von probably provides that (he was still elite at the time).
Instead, Beane didnt take the risk of the 2nd round pick and instead took the safer route of signing him in the offseason.Ok, very fair take. Probably correct in hindsight.

iMO Beane's biggest downfall is his unwillingness to take big chances. You look at Roseman and how he went out and traded for his number 1 WR and spent big bucks to sign a star RB.
I agree. He does take risks, like with Von, but he's less apt to try for the risky moves.

Now wait...who do you think you are? Woody Johnson?!
I couldn't think of a better way to explain. Side note I was very sure that story was bs but I think it was actually true wasn't it??

Both things are true. Beane hasn't brought in enough elite talent around Josh and Mcd is prone to getting outclassed by the best coaches in the league.
I think while we lack very high end talent we're full near the top of the league in good players. Groot is an example. Good to very good, not elite. A bit hard to explain, requires a bit of nuance. In madden terms we have a lot of guys in the 80's but few in the 90's.

Can anyone speak to the financials of this? I assume that suspended players do not receive game checks. Does that mean their salary for next season is 6/18 less? Do this suspensions reduce the cap hit of these players at all?
Great question. 👍

Google told me no cap relief.

Hopefully they can keep juicing until they come back!

I like him. Feel like he hasn't gotten a great shot at wr. Hard nosed, hard running guy who at worst is just a returner but can also contribute on offense as a gadget guy. With a real qb maybe can develop more.
-
And I think we have more draft capital than other contenders too. Gotta turn those higher picks into high impact players.

He couldn't have gotten it anywhere, because RAS uses combine numbers.
Thanks. Didn't sound right. Just that 40 time would probably score him higher than 5 alone.

A mid rounder??? Isn’t his RAS around 5. I’m not even sure that would justify a Udfa call up. Andreessen got the call due to his RAS score
His RAS being 5 doesn't jive with the measurables posted. Where'd you get that?

This team went 9-7 with Tyrod at QB. The team has a decent amount of talent outside of Josh. The team boasts a top 5 offensive line, a top 5-7 RB core, a top 5-7 TE combo, and an at worst above average defense. Yeah the defense could use a few more pieces and the WR core might need a piece but to act like if you put Sam Darnold on this team instead of Josh they would go 5-12 is just dishonest.
Sam is decent now. How do we look with Mitch T? Not good.
I dont know where you're getting 5-7 for TE's. Maybe. Also maybe bottom 5. I don't think we know Kincaid enough yet. Last season he was meh though apparently hurt.
-
Not enough elite talent. Assess the team without Josh. We are not good without him. Most teams aren't, without their qb, but the best teams are. Balt, Detroit, Philly (lost a lot of quality this offseason tho).
1 more elite piece and we're there. Cb, DT preferably imo.

Anyone else think that with all these signings we may move up in the draft?
Could be the opposite too, I've heard rumblings that this draft is weak. Maybe we'll move some picks to next year?
I may be wrong but I don't see too many open spots for rookies.

"Injury prone" is a fallacy if applied to future prospects. Yes, Bosa has been injury prone, but that doesn't mean he will continue to be., as long as he's healed up. Why would he be more likely to hurt his ankle or back or shoulder than any other player? Because he's unlucky? That's voodoo talk. For all we know, he could be the healthiest player in the league going forward.
Yes to an extent though. Many thought Barkley was injury prone. Some turn it around. But others are prone to injury. I like the deal. He needs stats to score another long term contract.

Only 5 sacks, good run defender but has not stayed healthy ever in his entire career, not 1 season did he make it through yet.
The cold will do him good.

Who cares about regular season??? How's our D in the playoffs?
