    I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers
    Keep the faith
    When the storm flies and the wind blows
    Go on at a steady pace

    When the battle is fought, and the victory's won
    We can all shout together, we have overcome
    We'll talk to the Father and the Son
    When we make it to the promised land

    Do we still hate Brandon Beane?

    Hey Bill from NYC

     

    The Jets now have Frank Reich as the new OC and a new QB in Geno Smith. Along with a new DC in Brian Duker, who was the Dolphins' pass game defensive coordinator the past two seasons. Those new additions should improve the Jots quite a bit, and HC Aaron Glenn has been weeding out all the guys who don't buy into his way of doing things.

     

    Not seeing them make the playoffs or anything, just saying they should be better than 3-14. Perhaps in the 8-9 range. 

    Could be, but I think that losing Quinnen Williams will hurt quite a bit. They also lost Gardner, although I was less impressed with him than others seemed to be. They are however stacked with draft picks for this year and next.

    It's not Beane's fault that certain things didn't work out, as he didn't cause the injury to Von Miller or the injuries to Ed Oliver, Michael Hoecht, among others, this season. 

     

    This was the year to prove it all with KC, the Bengals, and Ravens out of it, as usual, McDermott's defense fails in the end. Forget all the reasons as to why, injuries, bad luck, whatever.

     

    Some head coaches, no matter how good they are, just never can get a team over the hump. This team has been so close over the last five years. Losses by 3 points and OTs. 

     

    Keeping the OC and promoting the guy who helped Josh Allen win MVP while leading the league in scoring was a smart move, IMO. 

     

    Nevertheless, those teams that fell off last year are now reloading: KC, Baltimore, and the AFC East teams. The NY Jets, New England, and Miami should all improve.

     

    I expect the Buffalo offense to look like it did in 2024, with being very balanced and explosive. It's the new defense that has me concerned, as I like the scheme and can only wonder how long it will take to get it to function as it should. We all saw what Rex Ryan did to that 2014 best pass rushing defense in 2015 when he didn't have the proper players to fit his scheme. 

     

    With so many Bills fans clamoring, whining, complaining, and downright b!tching that Beane didn't do enough to bring in that X-boundary WR. Now that he has it's still not enough as so many still want AJ Brown or Justin Jefferson. Has all this kept Beane from bringing in Maxx Crosby or Trey Hendrickson? Will the new DC be able to fill out his defense the way he wants this season to make enough impact?

     

    That "bend but don't break" defense that most disliked is now gone, and now big plays can be had...we will see. 

    I agree with your post other than the Jets improving. Anything is possible but I am unable to see a way for them to improve.

    I mean, he didn’t sign Justin Jefferson, Max Crosby, Hendrickson or AJ Brown. 
     

    Has he let the game get past him?

     

    Why didn’t he do more?

    Why re-structure Josh, Knox, etc.?

    Why re-sign McGovern?

    Anderson?

    A punter?

    Bass?

     

    Added DJ Moore. Added Falcons CB. Added Chubb. A vet safety. 
     

    Has cap space left. 


    Should he be fired for failing to maximize talent?

     

    Maybe he should have spent more $. 

     

    Tell us how you really feel. 

     

     

    I never did. I think that now tjhat McDermott is gone, Beane will have a chance to actually run the team instead of being McDermott's lap dog.

    Don't say words you're gonna regret
    Don't let fire rush to your head
    I've heard the accusation before
    And I ain't gonna take anymore
    Believe me
    The sun in your eyes
    Made some of the lies worth believing

    Do not trade for anyone else, or pay any top FA's. Draft well for once.

    I agree w the first part, but I think if the leash is off he will be going best guy on his board outside of positions where we can't fit more bodies (so no high rb, QB, te, or) and based on what I read about this draft, and what we have in the roster, means we will likely be getting more guys in the defensive side of the ball.

     

    Safety, ILB, stout DT we need a starter/premium rotation guy.  Corner depth would help, and no matter what we need pass rush prospects.

     

    In o, what could we get fast value from?  Maybe a wayatt teller type who falls down the board as a quality og, and obv a man beating wr prospect can find a spot on the roster, but the offensive talent in this team is way better and most importantly more complete than the other side right now IMO.

     

    Things can and will go wrong, but if I look at the o we have on paper, this is the best squad we've had since Allen got here.  In 2021/2022 our pass game looked insane, but the OL was kinda ass, tight end and running back rooms were neither productive nor diverse in skill sets.  Now we have mature goat at QB (but not old!), maybe a downgrade at LG, but otherwise the same ol that balled out over the past two seasons, top 5 RB and te rooms, and what looks like a reasonable middle of the pack wr squad who can't just be erased by top flight press corners behind pass rush (see ATL, Houston last season).

    I like the above post.

     

    My hope is that we use our best draft resources on wide receivers. Looking back, in 2022 we traded up in round one to draft cb Kair Elam. Then in 2025 we took yet another first round corner. These picks had McDermott written all over them. That said, how did our defense look? When we did draft a WR (Coleman)with our first pick, we actually traded out of round one to do so. The Diggs trade appeared to be a good one but as we know he was problematic. 

     

    I'm thrilled that we signed Moore but I want to keep it going in that direction. My thing is that given protection and a room full of weapons, Josh will take us to the Super Bowl and win it.

    I don't know if I can trust Beane to make the right call on defense. He has drafted a ton of defense to this point and can't seem to put together anything good

    McDermott is thankfully gone, thus Beane's leash has been removed. I think we will find out very soon what Beane is capable of doing. My hope is that he concentrates on offense. Josh isn't getting any younger. He is the best player in football and deserves weapons and protection.

    And I don't understand why I sleep all day
    And I start to complain that there's no rain
    And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
    And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

      There were times this past season where we had such a “game manager” gameplan, asking so little of our QB, that  I thought Turbisky could execute it just as well as Allen. 
     

     

    You might want to rethink the above.

    Chicago didn't draft two wrs in the top two rounds because dj moore was good.

    I see your point, but let's face it; life gets easier for a receiver when Josh Allen is throwing you the football. Additionally, there is nothing stopping the Bills from drafting another wide receiver in the early rounds, if not the first.

     

    Remember, McDermott is gone. We shouldn't have to worry about them taking a db in round one.

    Least favorite movie(s) you can ever remember watching?

    in Off the Wall

    Posted · Edited by Bill from NYC

    I was away on business in Arkansas. There wasn't much to do, so one night I stayed in and watched a movie called "Love Happens." It was so dreadfully bad that I'm not sure I ever got over it LOL.

     

    I'm guessing that most of us have seen movies like this that were pathetic to the point that you felt like you had to see how ridiculous the ending would be.

    Tua would be a good fit there, I think. Dome team with no real bad-weather opponents in the division. He ultimately belongs in the NFC South, but that division is the next best spot.

    Tua really needs to retire. He made more than enough money and is at apparent risk of becoming a vegetable.
