    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.

      Thank you again McD, but it’s time.  Results matter and, in a season, where the Ravens and Chiefs were never in contention for the one seed, you blew it.

     

    I agree with some of the good things that you said about McDermott, but they really do need to get rid of him either now, or at the end of the season. If he is in town for the free agency period and the draft, we are destined for the same dumb decisions to be made. 

     

    Also, I know he is under contract but at some point, Josh might ask for a trade. Tell me, how do you think Josh felt while watching the 2025 draft and seeing him draft defensive players with the first FIVE picks? 

     

    It is that simple.

    Only in 2017 did McDermott draft anybody.

    Sure. He doesn't prioritize defense, Beane does. Gotcha. 🤨

    2020 we drafted Gabe in round 4

     

    2021 Stevenson was a round 6 pick

     

    2022 Shakir was a 5th

     

    2023 Shorter was a fifth

     

    Not enough investment regardless of who is in charge

    Exactly. McDermott set this in motion when he traded away the Mahomes pick for a cornerback and never looked back.

    Beane is living off of the Josh Allen pick. 

    McDermott is also living off of the Josh Allen pick. After he traded away the Mahomes pick to draft a cornerback, let's take a brief look at some of what took place after this idiotic move.

     

    In 2018, we of course drafted Josh. The next four picks were defensive players. He did draft wrs in rounds 6 and 7.  

     

    In 2019, NO wr was drafted.

     

    In 2020 the trade was made for Diggs, and added a wr in round 6.

     

    In 2021, they drafted a wr in round 5.

     

    In 2022, they drafted a wr in round 4.

     

    In 2023, another wr in round 4.

     

    In 2024, they drafted Coleman in round 2 (after trading down).

     

    In 2025, Their first 5 picks were defenive players. They did however draft a wr with pick #240 in round 7.

     

    We can blame Beame as we choose but McDermott deserves some of, if not the bulk of the blame for not dedicating enough resources to the wr position, despite having a generational QB. There really is no excuse imo. We still look to be on our way to the playoffs this season and might go far, but I cannot find an excuse for not concentrating more on getting our great QB the weapons he could use to win more football games.

    Josh Allen can do no wrong to us.  It's not easy for us to be objective because he is the most likable and great player they've ever had.   But if Josh did influence the pick.......he should be the main player in Keon's ear.   It's hard to reach your potential as a leader if you can't NOT be everyone's best friend. 

    The following is a question, NOT a statement:

     

    Do you see it as a possibility that Coleman does not want to play in Buffalo? The kid is from Louisiana. He signed to play for Michigan St., and left to play at Florida State. If he hates playing in the cold, he wouldn't be the first. 

     

    Like many wrs his personality seems to be a bit flamboyant, and this doesn't bother me at all. I am just wondering if he likes being here.

    My complaint about Bean is more about his roster structure and FA acquisitions.  He's part of the decision process that favors the D and didn't see a need to replace Diggs/Davis with an equally productive pair of WR's.  

     

     

    You may be correct but McDermott, not Beane was the defensive coach. Beane wasn't in Buffalo when McDermott traded the Mahomes pick to KC and drafted a cornerback. I think that McDermott's influence on draft day is evident.

     

    I for one would rather see McDermott leave town than Beane. At least Beane convinced Josh to sign to stay with the Bills, and he could have gone almost anywhere he wanted. This would includes states with much lower state tax. 

     

    jmo.

    The Bills and Green Bay are not even comparable when it comes to value.

     

    Beane has the worst WR strategy in the NFL as he mostly fills the room with free agents in one of the top 3 most expensive positions in football. We have one WR we drafted in 2024 and one we drafted in 2022 on the roster lol. The other three are mid level free agents (making like $20 million combined this year lol) and a UDFA. 
     

    If you look at our perennial competition the Chiefs and Ravens, they are down near Green Bay because they have drafted receivers recently. You can do everybody eats, but you have to draft WRs and eventually hit on one. You can’t do everyone eats and try to fill the room with other teams free agent cast offs. 
     

    For the entire time we had Diggs, we never drafted another WR before the 4th round. So our passing game became more and more Diggs-centric as Smoke and Bease gave way to McKenzie, Crowder, Harty and Sheffield. So that when Diggs forced his way out, our WR production basically dropped to nothing. Aside from drafting Keon, the urgency to fix that has not been there and is the #1 reason I hope Beane is gone sooner than later.

    I agree with and appreciate your post, but I think that McDermott is at least as guilty as Beane in neglecting the WR position. McDermott has at the very least an equal say in the draft, and I think more than equal.

     

    Also, the paltry numbers our receivers produce is with an MVP QB. Could you only begin to imagine what ther numbers would look like with average or below average QBs? Posters on this board were complaining about the lack of talent at the wr position for a long time, yet the obvious was lost on McDermott. 

     

    The primary focus of Bills management should be to provide Josh with weapons and more talent and depth at OL. Will McDermott do this? I sure hope so but there is no reason to expect that he will.

     

    We are very lucky that Josh signed that extension. I'm sure that he is more frustrated than we are.

  9. Receivers, no doubt.

     

    Whenever there is a lack of talent on a team, many fans love to blame the scheme. I heard this all through the entire drought, especially about the OL. Now we have talented blockers and suddenly the OL is good. It isn't a coincidence.

     

    It makes many fans feel better and more hopeful to blame the scheme instead of the players. The truth is that our QB is first rate and our wrs are second rate. McDermott cares mostly about defensive tackles and cornerbacks. This has been staring at us in the face since his arrival.

  10. I got jumped coming home last night,
    Shadow in the alley turned out all my lights,
    round and round and round and round and round and round and round,
    don't take much to get me on the ground.

    Loose Lucy, she was sore, says I know you don't want my love no more,
    yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh-yeh yeh, singing, "Thank you, for a real good time!"

  11. I can turn the greyest sky blue
    I can make it rain whenever I want it to
    Oh, I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
    I can make a ship sail high on dry land

    But my life is incomplete, and I'm so blue
    'Cause I can't get next to you (I can't get next to you, babe)
    Next to you (I can't get next to you)
    I just can't get next you (I can't get next to you, babe)
    (I can't get next to you)

    He is frustrated but listen to his pressers. A lot of that is frustration with himself. After 3 games where he didn't play well he has an outstanding performance against KC and then right back to this. He isn't playing terrible football overall but he can't find that consistency he had last year and while I am sure he is frustrated at what is around him - especially at receiver - he is frustrated with himself too. I think that is obvious.

     

    Yea Josh knows some of this is on him. And he wants to be better. He just can't find his level at the moment with any consistency and that is eating at him.

    Maybe, just maybe he shold cut down on his commercials. That said, with our wrs I'm not so sure it would help.

  13. Well I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you
    I can't promise that I'll find a way with you
    I can't promise
    No, I can't promise that I'll love you

    But I'd like to get to know you (Yes I would)
    Yes I'd like to get to know you (If I could)
