Yea this years offseason will be very interesting. They still have holes on defense(like always) still need help at Defensive line, need to upgrade the LB spot or at the very least the depth, and they need secondary depth especially if Dorian Strong retires.
On the flip side we all now know we need WRs(including Beane finally) . The offensive line will have 1 or 2 departures depending on Edwards and McGovern and Torrence has 1 year left. Definitely need help on the interior, if you have faith in Lundt going into year 2, I think I’d move Grable inside and start cross training him there to kind of be our new Anderson.
Agreed and although Dawkins isn’t old, he will be 32 when next season starts and like all players, he has had his share of injuries. We need offensive help far more than we do on the defensive side.

More likely, they go back to the DE well in round 1.
This would not surprise me one bit. Last season their first five picks were on defensive players. They sixth pick was a TE; the next pick was another DB to make six of their first 7 picks defensive players.
The Bills definitely need wrs. They also (imo) need depth on the offensive line. I think that drafting wrs and OL would make Josh even more efficient and actually put less pressure on the defense. Will this happen? Sadly I doubt it.

My friends are so distressed
They're standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptinessI love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself -
It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man
It's a shame, the way you hurt me
It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man
I'm sitting all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call when you don't call at all -
How many miles will it take to see the sun?
And how many years 'til it's done?
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by my side when the mornin' comesAnd the Baby looks around Him
Shares His bed of hay
With the burro in the palace of the King
He's a stranger in a strange land
A-tell me why – he's a stranger in a strange land (Hoo!)
Just a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land -
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million milesI'll be with you, girl
Like being low
Hey-hey-hey, like being stoned -
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you -

You make a great point, Bill.
Another early playoff (before the AFCCG) exit - to me - is still grounds for dismissal.
If this pathetic roster gets to the AFCCG, then I would have no choice but to give McDermott some credit.
To that point, I think Beane is an utter failure and if I was presented with a “one goes/one stays” option, I’d choose Beane to go without blinking an eye.
Brandin f*cking Cooks? Are you f*cking kidding me?
Beane sucks.
The only place where we may differ is that I hold McDermott at least equally reponsible for the ridiculous drafts. In 2025 our first five picks were defense, this on a team with substandard wrs, and an all time great QB playing behind an aging OL. Remember, McDermott is the defensive coach, and he traded away the Mahomes pick in order to draft a freaking cornerback before Beane even arrived in Buffalo. This move was comparable to Marv Levy's 2006 draft, one of the worst, most idiotic in NFL history. I think it is totally unfair to only blame Beane for this mess.
McDermott does seem pretty daring when it comes to going for it on 4th downs, and why not? Josh Allen is his QB. When it comes to team building (not coaching), McDermott is a bald, clapping version of Marv Levy. Marv is a great man and was a good coach for a while. He was not a good GM.

Actually this is a really good question imo. My answer however is not listed. I want the Bills to make the playoffs AND I want McDermott fired. If Beane has to go as well so be it. And I do get it....if they make the playuoffs and win the Super Bowl, why SHOULD they be fired?
I am an Alabama Crimson Tide Fan. If they win on Saturday, they will be in the playoffs. Do I think that they are the best team in the NCAA? Not at all. Not this year. That said, they are good. Their defense is looking MUCH better than early in the season. If they get in the playoffs, things can happen on their team and their opponents teams to make winning at least a bit plausible.
It's the same in some ways with the Bills. We have Josh Allen. He is great and can make things happen. If the OL plays up to their potential he will throw TD passes and Cook will also kick ass. If we get a few breaks, who knows? Coming into the season I thought that the Eagles and Lions were great. Now, they only look good. Things change.
Anyway once again, good post. The above tedius post is jmo.

I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affairI said, "Whoa, no
William and Mary won't do
Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel
And I'm never going back to my old school -
I voted yes but I cannot and will not try to justify this vote.

It is haunted, and I am living proof.
In 1996, the Bills were headed to Pittsburgh for a playoff game. I read in the paper that Bruce Smith was listed as doubtful due to the "flu." I was beyond furious. I called him everything but a child of God. Flu? I can't express how much of a wimp I considered him to be. We lost, and Bruce was just so great we may have won with him in there. Who knows?
Well, a week or two later I was driving home and was freezing on not the coldest day. i was so cold put on the heater full blast. Walking from my drivway to the house I was shivering, and had the worst flu of my lifetime. I lost 14 pounds in a week, and was hallucinating yellow and red cartoons on my bedroom wall. On the 4th day I was able to eat half pice of toast with no butter and a few sips of black tea. I realized that I would more than likely live. That same flu today would surely kill me and I am the first on line for flu shots.
My point? I was just so angry at Bruce for not playing. I wanted him to go to Pittsburgh and play professional football with that flu in 20 degree weather, and it turned out that making it from my bed to the bathroom was barely if at all possible.
I guarantee that others on this board remember that game. Bruce wound up in the hospital as I recall. Well, karma came around to haunt me for my judgemental rant lol.

Before McDuffie there was Tre White.
Their career starts run pretty parallel.
McDuffie finished tied in the NFL DPOY(22nd) voting with Christian Benford last season.
McDuffie is now a slot CB..........which basically excuses him from any "best CB in the NFL" talk but he probably is the best slot CB in the NFL.
Bills day 3 pick Taron Johnson once held that claim.
You getting my drift about Bills CB draft pick success or are you still mad at Beane for not drafting McDuffie instead of Elam when McDuffie was already off of the board?
As usual, your post is on point. What I don't understand was why the Bills drafted Elam at all, let alone traded up for him. The focus should have been on providing Josh with protection and weapons, NOT a cornerback.
The very next pick after Elam (#24) was Tyler Smith, an all pro guard who Dallas rewarded with a four year contract which contains 81 million dollars guaranteed. I'm sure he would have been a benefit to both the passing and running game. And this type of idiocy is not at alll new to the Bills. In 2008 we drafted Leodis McKelvin at #11 in round one. LT Ryan Clady went at #12, and Branden Albert (who was very good at both G and OT) went at #15. This, and our OL sucked at the time.
If we simply had to go defense in 2022, George Karlaftis went at #30. They might have been able to trade down and take him.
Wan'Dale Robinson was the 11th pick in round two. He isn't great, but is he better than anyone we have? I don't know, but he is doing rather well with a however promising rookie, and assorted stumblebums throwing to him. His production would undoubtably be better with Josh.
Let me readily admit that it is easy to look back at these scenarios in retrospect. I am not saying that I would be a competent GM (although you probably would LOL) . The thing is, Beane's salary is undisclosed and McDermott is said to be making between 8 and 11 million per season, and their priorities are NOT getting protection and receivers for Josh. Nope, they want DTs and cornerbacks. This is what they are getting paid to do.
Sorry to rant, but this situation is really beyond my ability to comprehand.

Quinnen Williams was awesome for Dallas. Man I wish we would've given the jets whatever for him.
Yes of course. We should mortgage the future for more defensive players. McDermott doesn't focus enough on offense, and why should he? After all, our receivers are world class and our OL is young.
Josh getting help should be an afterthought.

Defense. Got to invest in the Defense. Haven't done it enough
Yes, that is the problem. We need to draft more cornerbacks and undersized defensive tackles.Screw the wr position!!! Our wideouts are future all pros. All of them.

I would fire McDermott before I had my morning coffee.

We are badly losing games to guys like Davis Mills who is a backup and Tua who is basically out of the playoffs already.
Can it REALLY get worse?
I really think that it can. We continue to draft our way downhill with McDermott pulling the strings.

If they fire him this morning I will be fine with it.
