    I think if you fire one they both should go too. I don't see any rational argument for keeping one without the other. It has been pitched to me you could replace Beane from within and maintain the HC/GM alignment but if the guys underneath Beane are that much better why hasn't it shown in the outcomes of his drafting?

     

    No, it's not excusable on the lack of outside receivers. I have been banging the drum for 4 years. Basically from the moment we didn't replace Sanders and left ourselves with Stef, Gabe and nothing else (not even a mid round guy to develop) at outside receiver. I know Tom Brady won Superbowls with slots, tight ends and receiving backs.... but a) he had an all timer at tight end and b) Josh Allen is not Tom Brady - both great but in totally different ways.

    McDermott fails to understand that it is a different game than it was in the 70's and 80's, and there is no reason to indicate that he ever will. 

     

    Did you watch the game last night?  Houston has an astoundingly GREAT defense imo. I consider Will Anderson to be the second best player in football (second to Josh Allen), and that entire defense is just stacked with talent. What good did it do them? Their QB absolutely sucks and they played without Nico Collins. You know as well as anyone that this is an offense driven league and has been since the rule changes. Everyone seems to know this except McDermott. It is sickening tbh.

     

    I don't think that McDermott will ever lead us to a SB win because I don't view him as capable of doing so. As long as Josh is healthy he will keep us in the playoffs. That he can do. Let's watch what he does in the draft this season. Maybe he will trade up for Caleb Downs.

    Beane has never gone all-in on the Josh Allen Experience. The team needs play maker WRs. Not more defensive lineman picks he reaches for or lottery ticket hope and pray it works out free agents. 

     

    I will never understand why Beane shoulders all of the blame and McDermott is absolved of any responsibility. Do you think that if McDermott insisted on getting more weapons for Josh and more depth for the OL, Beane would (or even could) overrule him? I consider this scenario to be 100% impossible.

     

    We are lucky that Josh doesn't insist on a trade. He plays far from his family, in the freezing cold, and with a coach who concentrates of defensive backs and defensive tackles. He deserves better and without McDermott and the GM that he holds on a leash, this team could and should win the Super Bowl in 2027.

     

    For what very little it is worth, I predict that this scenario will come true next season. Yes, next year I think that we will have a new coach, a new GM, more weapons and protection for Josh, and a Super Bowl win.

     

    As always, jmo.

    I do think Beane will be back but if he is it HAS to be with a very clear direction from Terry - Get Josh legit outside receivers or get out. 

    Don't you find it strange that it hasn't already happened? Is this even excusable? 

     

    Count me as one who thinks that Beane should be fired, and followed out the door by his boss McDermott (the man who hired him).

    The whole McDermott play not to lose thing went out the window like 4 years ago.
     

    A guy who “plays not to lose” doesn’t let his offense run a play with 0 timeouts and 22 seconds before the half. 

    Do ya think he focused on getting weapons for Josh in the years that you cite, or was he focusing on defense, secondary specifically?

    This team just got worse

    I agree 100%. Guys like us who have been fans for decades remember just how bad and neglected our OL was. Kromer did a fantastic job building and coaching this OL and I wish him well.

    The hard reality is there is no answer. If a team wears our jersey they lose. We are losers. Always have been. Always will be. We can’t say ‘Mahomes.’ We can only say ‘Bills.’

    I cannot totally agree with the bolded. Long time coaches Levy, McDermott, and Jauron shared the "play not to lose" mentality and focused on the secondary as their top priority. Some of the coaches in between them were just incompetent (Rex Ryan for instance). It rubs off on the fans too. Some of us will be calling for a first round corner of safety. Sad but true.

     

    Either way, GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't care if I get banned for this, OP, but you are so full of ***** that your eyes are ***** brown.

     

    Did Josh make mistakes?  Yes, he did.  And the Broncos scored 13 points off them.

    Did other players make mistakes?

     

    Yes, they did.

     

    We win as a team, we lose as a team.

     

    In the 4th quarter, it was 27 - 23.  Our defense needed one stop - ONE FREAKIN STOP

     

    They couldn't get it done

     

     

    You are 100% correct. Josh threw quite a few passes that could have been caught and were not.

    I'll just leave this here so my stance is clear

     

    Anyone that wants to blame Josh Allen is a fool and knows nothing about football 

     

    If not for this guy, this team would still suck year after year

     

    If there's one guy that isn't to blame, it's Josh Allen

     

    GTFOH with the Allen hate

    Again, if we are to be fair to our fellow fans I think that at this point alcohol is doing the talking wrt Josh.

     

    Hey, I've been there lol but never would or could I badmouth Josh Allen. The man is flat out great.

    Also in general McD definitely has some say on who he thinks Beane should draft and sign whereas Beane doesn’t have anything to do with how McD develops and deploys said players.

    I agree and fwiw, I don't think that McDermott is a terrible field general. I just think that his focus is on defense (primarily corners) and he is far less concerned about getting weapons for the best player in the NFL. 

    It's rather sickening tbh.

    Yep, I have been off McD for years. He can’t win it all. He was a bonehead today on the first 3 and 11 when they had Nix reeling and went to the “Leslie Zone” and let them back get the first down. McD knows it’s getting old, that’s why the puff piece on the Athletic. He is trying to get as much positive PR for when he is looking for a new job. He is on the same trajectory at Reed was in Philly. 

    Like I said abf, McDermott has too much power.

     

    @BADOLBILZ told us before the season started that where were to be seeded did matter alot in this and previous years. He also told us that our wide receiver group was sub-par. Of course, he was right as usual so (imo) it comes down to: who do we blame. Beane, McDermott, or both?  I lean towards blaming McDermott the most but again, this is jmo.

    Forget about his 4 turnovers, which were all awful. 

     

    There were plays to be had and he was off all day. 

    He missed Knox for a TD and the last drive before overtime

     

    He missed missed Hardman in overtime, which would’ve surely put them in fg range. 
     

    You need your best players to be at their best in big moments, and they weren’t

     

    He had opportunity after opportunity and didn’t get it done. 
     

    This is on him and the defense failing in crunch time, again.

     

    Yeah, he never should have dropped all of those passes, and he should have drafted wide receivers instead of focusing on cornerbacks.

     

    Wait.......never mind!!! I take it back. Josh Allen is the best player in the NFL. Period.

  12. Well, my temperature's rising, and my feet on the floor
    Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more
    Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got
    But you better take it easy, this place is hot

     

    And I'm so glad we made it
    So glad we made it, you gotta

    Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin')
    Gimme some loving (gimme, gimme some lovin')
    Gimme some loving every day

  13. I wonder, wonder who, mm-ba-doo, who?
    Who wrote the book of love?

     

    Chapter one says to love her
    You love her with all your heart
    Chapter two, you tell her
    You're never, never, never, never, never gonna part
    In chapter three, remember the meaning of romance
    In chapter four, you break up
    But you give her just one more chance

  14. I strongly agree with the consensus. I am not young, and I think that this Houston defense looks as good as almost any I have ever seen, and perhaps the best in this modern era. Their front four looked like the old Steel Curtain and the secondary is stacked with good players. 

     

    I know that the NFL is now a league based on offense, and I'm not at all thrilled by Houston's QB, but again, that defense is just that good, so yes; I would rather face New England than Houston.

     

    As usual, jmo.

  15. A pistol shot at 5 o'clock
    The bells of heaven ring
    Tell me what you done it for
    No, I won't tell you a thing

    Yesterday I begged you
    Before I hit the ground
    All I leave behind me
    Is only what I found
