Every team has injuries; Buffalo is not in any type of special category because of theirs'. I am sure an argument can be made that there are 10 teams in the league in worse shape injury wise than the Bills. Oliver is the only proven difference maker out for a long period of time.

If we just sneak into the playoffs, not make it to the superbowl, and save mcbeane's job in the process, is that something to be thankful for? Is it better to go 4-4 the rest of the season and get a new coach and gm next year?

Yes he was onto something. After 4 years he realized this team with the coaching/management structure in place, would never win a Super Bowl. Hate the guy all you want, he is a great football player, and the kind of GameDay player this team desperately needs.

This is the key to good drafting

Absolutely. Overpay to validate how great his drafting is.

That is pathetic. Thanks beane for mortgaging future cap space to pay for a mediocre roster today. Maybe he can push 50m in dead cap onto 2027

and he had a high motor.

I would love for coleman to be inactive a few games in a row, and for someone to ask beane about it at the end of the season press conference (scheduled for the monday or tuesday after week 17 games are complete, judging by recent team play). Beane was being a stubborn, arrogant jerk when he made this pick.

beane wonders what beane is doing.

I hope Clappy and Beane are both gone at the end of the year. These two have proven themselves to be very nice human beings who can take a franchise from the bottom very good (with the help of an all-world QB), but no farther. 7 years of basically the same results proves this. Kromer deserves to be interviewed for head coach, his work with the Oline has been very good. I hope he is here next year in some capacity.

If it takes the wheels falling off to convince pegula to fire mcbeane then i am all for it. the best this team will do going forward with Brandon and clappy is a wild card birth and 1st round playoff exit.

I think part of the reason overpays for his own picks is that it validates the pick, at least in his own mind.

I agree they are both gone. But I think the interior lineman will be Grable, SVPG, and Torrence.

No amount of money is worth paralysis.

Chargers lost Joe Alt for season yesterday, and Slater before the season. Omarrion Hampton is on IR. Craft from Green Bay is done for the year. Every team has them, they just hurt more when it is our guys.

Me too. These restructures always equate to kicking the salary cap can down the road, and then we wind up 30M over the (or dead) cap next march.

He can be back next year. This is not career ending. Yes that is true, every teams lose a key player to injury. I have been a Bills fan for 45 years and am pessimistic by nature.

true. Rapp off the field = everyone else plays better.

True. We got 20 catches from Cooper last year for the 3rd round pick. We can not possibly replace the talent we lost to injury at the trade deadline. I have no interest in giving up a 3rd for a short term rental who helps us get into playoffs to only lose in divisional round.

The injuries are now too much to overcome this year. Save the draft capital, save the cap space, come back better next year. Nothing we can get at the trade deadline will make up for these losses and get us to the super bowl. Oliver and hoecht were two difference makers, not replaceable at a trade deadline.

I feel like bills are overrated today, the talent difference is too great.

yes it does - listening to clappy talk about T Rapp like he was a combination of Ronnie Lott and John Lynch, you knew clappy wanted so badly to see him back on the field knowing what his coverage resp is but blowing it anyway. This is not bad news.

let us hope.

All overpays, all replacement level players. Just like beane, a replacement level gm.

Bills never got the key pieces of a rebuild in place, except for josh of course.
