yes, but at the start of his 4th season and there wasn't the same media firestorm about "are we doing enough to help Josh." I could be wrong; just saying I wouldn't be surprised if Beane waits it out longer on Keon than trading him that soon.

Scoring 44 today is gonna fuel Keon critics (Steve Smith, Joe Marino, etc.) who have said he's in the wrong role and getting too many targets. Can't blame them.

Pretty sure Keon told the media he was counting on that.

Far from a perfect game by Josh, but damn, he rose to victory when needed.

That should give Josh the record for TDs under 30, passing Manning.

Finally using the backs in the passing game this year...

thinking about this question of trading Keon, I think, given that the return might be something like a 4th or 5th, the bigger question is this: Will Beane take another high-draft shot at a WR? Most here agree that we need a real boundary stud, and the capital Keon fetches isn't likely to get that stud. Will Bean take a shot in the first two rounds at a WR? I think he should.

Totally agree he was wrong. I just think Beane doesn't take to criticism well. If we traded Keon and got some value in return I would be good with it. Let's see what happens.

I saw Palmer open much earlier in real time. I don't think Josh is reading the field well right now for whatever reason.

Fair enough. But he also exploded against local media for suggesting we need WR help.

I'd be surprised if Beane (assuming he's still here) does that as it would be an admission of a really failed pick. Beane likes to control his image.

What kind of bizarro world are we in where we need the D and our run game to bail out Josh.

Pretty sure Josh had an easy completion to a guy in the flat on that pick.

I think the o-line blocking overall is not where it should be.

Careless Josh is still here...

Sorry, had a few pops and when I read this "when passing seems to be clearly better...." in your post, I took that as an endorsement of going really heavy on the pass instead of a balanced attack.

Did the OP actually watch more than the first minute or two of the video? The video does NOT advocate for passing all the time. In fact, here is a screen shot of what are almost the last words of the video, with captions, of course.

One of the most embarrasing.

Coleman can be a good athlete but just not the right fit for a boundary receiver. Like how a guy can be a great athlete for a linebacker but not a cornerback. Many people, scouts, here, and pundits, said when we drafted him that his best fit is a big slot. But we have Shakir so he plays outside. He's not playing in his ideal place. That's not really his fault. Beane reached on him for whatever reasons. I hope we draft a size/speed guy in the next draft who has proven experience playing outside.

@Simon Now that Josh is good again, what's the updated hypotheses? The joys of lactation?

So he butt fumbled his post NFL career as well.

The Bills have a lot to do to improve in the second half, and beating the Chiefs is just one game, but if you asked me before the season if I'd take the Bills at 6-2 and the Chiefs at 5-4 with the tie going to the Bills, I would've said hell yeah.

Treat Miami like a bye-week and rest up the guys who are banged up.

I'm not a college fan but hear this coming draft won't be a good one for QBs. So that pleases me that they're acquiring their capital for that draft.
