    But youve been one of the best teams in the NFL for 5 yrs. It sucks they haven't gotten over the hump, and if not for perhaps the best QB of the era they prob would have. Think about how many good teams Kelly kept out in a 5 yr span. Only one team can go to the SB. Of course the goal is to get there, but let the guy who's been better than so many other teams for so long have a chance and building it back up again. Heck, last yr was supposed to be a rebuild and they managed to make it pain free with a team that was good enough to go to the dance. 

     

    Now, do I think perhaps we like the idea of drafting and resigning our own too much? Maybe. But these guys have been pretty decent at self scouting. I think now its crystal clear we need resources devoted to WR. He thought he could get by with a bandaid and devote resources elsewhere this year. He even believed it so strongly he stuck his neck out uncharacteristicly. I was worried hed double down,  but they've been actively trying to do what they can to get stronger while still giving themselves the ability to be able to have a future. 

     

    Now. There is just a fundamental difference in wanting to sell the farm for one year to win it all, or try to set yourself up to be competitive and go every year. You either fall on one side of that coin or the other and both have arguments for and against. This GM doesnt seem to think its worth a sell out bc nothing is guaranteed.  I think that as well, but acknowledge either side can be right - its just whatever your fundamental beliefs are. 

     

    Regardless, this is sssooo far away from my original point that people have just gotten so spoiled they just B word to B word. Every player signing there are people who run to make light of age, or former affiliations. Even after the KC game this yr there were complaints and thats the most dominant of a win we've ever had in game.

     

    Id venture to guess if McB were cut loose today both would have jobs in quick order. We have it good. We haven't won it all yet, but our chances with these 2 seem better than the unknown. Hell, Id love an awesome offensive minded coach to pair w Allen. But there is more to it than that and more to it than we see or think about. Messages get stale, but I dont think McDs has as of yet. Of course that can change but for now, let's just see where this season takes us.

    I say Beane has to go. This BBB nickname is BS, Allen is who had saved his job.

     

    Get McDermott a GM that can scout a hell of a lot better and let's see what happens.

    I am ok with taking a chance on a guy with a 9.88 RAS. This board complains this team doesn’t have freak athletes but then the Bills draft one who doesn’t perform his rookie year and it’s a waste.

     

    The Bills going into the draft had the luxury of being fairly set at DE for 2025. Bosa/AJE /Groot and Hoecht were 4 capable starting caliber DE’s the Bills could take a chance to develop a guy for a year who has high upside and athleticism.

     

    It sucks he got hurt but him and Walker were the risky picks this team needs to keep making esp after round 1-2 when prospects are usually flawed heavily 

    But he had a history of knee issues and he has injured it already.  Noy good when you combine it with how badly he played so far.

    Here is where I'm at.  Beane has to go. He cant evaluate WR for ****, nor truly can he evaluate DL or DB.  I, and others,  lost a lot of respect for him going on the radio with his little rant.  Fans from other teams have asked me about that.

     

    As for the rest, I dont like Brady period,we will have to see on that. 

     

    I keep McDermott awhile longer to see how the offense and his defense does if we can sign the RIGHT FA's and draft well.   What does his defense look like with real talent?  What does Bradys playcalling look like with adding 2 good WR's. Or more?

     

    This mess lies with Brandon Beane,until he is gone I don't think we can make a true determination on anyone else.

     

    Just my 2 cents

    I suppose you could argue that McDermott teams typically make good defensive adjustments at halftime and do better after half, but the way they were moving the ball in the first quarter they probably would have put up at least 24 points. 

     

    I personally think the Bills were spared that game because Cincy appeared to be ready to torch us that game

     

     

    I dunno.  Allen missed Beasley for what might have been a TD. It might have become down to who had the ball last

    Considering we do have a top notch organization and people love playing for Sean McDermott and he gave Ingram his chance in the NFL 

     

    I was told he was 100% going to sign back if he cleared waivers to the practice squad 

     

    There's zero chance he's saying f you to Sean McDermott who gave him his career.. we're talking about an undrafted guy from the University at Buffalo.. and Sean McDermott developed him for years

    They just cut him to sign someone else.

    Ingram signed with Houston

     

    This really shouldn't be allowed

    Would you really come back in this scenario.  Ingram isnt a fan like us so I could see him saying FU if we had called. 

     

    Also... you as a player want to play on McDermott's defense orRyan's?

     

    Oh ... and no state taxes in Texas.

    I don’t know if I’d go that far. Are there plays he wants back, sure. That’s every coach. Does he get too cute sometimes, yeah. Overall we’ve consistently been one of the top offenses in the league though. Does Josh have a whole heck of a lot to do with that? Absolutely, but it’s no different than any other team who wins consistently because of their QB play.

     

    What we do in the run game and, off of that, the rpo game is really good stuff. He also has some really good shield concepts out of stacks that are nearly impossible to defend that are really good. Our vertical choice routes are good which is why we’ve seen an uptick in MoFC coverages, but overall there’s a lot of meat left on the bone in our vertical pass game. We rely too heavily at times on different levels concepts to the sideline whether that be Smash or Floods. Everyone here hates Mesh but it’s a really good concept vs both man and zone if the receivers understand what they are seeing from a defense post snap.

     

    For me, we run way too many mirrored routes for my liking and we hardly ever move the pocket. With as much as we run the ball we should have more pass actions off of those key run schemes.

    Im with you on WTH aren't we moving the pocket?
