Probably not heated arguments when Beane already said there were WRs they liked but they were off the board by the time the Bills picked.

I think "dont be the ONLY team that let the Chiefs offense score 30 points" is a good basic strategy. Complimentary football means having a Defense that can get a stop instead of making your QB save the day at the end of the game.

He doesnt feel it. He heard you, and then pointed out how dumb you all sound. And was right.

Reinforcing the "bad interview" perspective

I dont think he "lost his cool". Even he sounds frustrated/animated. I think he is just comfortable being open and honest, and there was plenty of joking sarcasm in there wrapped around true statements. He didnt make it personal. He didnt threaten to not come on anymore. He didnt threaten to have the show shut down (like Jerry Jones). I think it was just an engaged Beane setting the record straight and issuing some decent jabs and burns along the way. I'm sure he'll be back on Jeremy's show at the next opportunity.

When I'm 75, my 24 yr old girlfriend can say anything she wants. The other thing to remember is Bill doesnt like answering questions from the media to begin with so this is a bonus not an issue for him.

Fair, you get the point tho.

Right. We have a top-scoring, high powered offense averaging over 30 points a game, and Allen still has to pull out victories with super human plays. That's a Defense issue.

It isnt unrealistic considering the Chiefs O sucked last year, never scored more than 30 in any other game. Only scored 23 in their playoff win against the Texans and were held to only 22 in their Super Bowl loss. Letting them score 32 and not getting off the field on plenty of 3rd down opportunities is what killed us. For the folks pounding the table for a WR saying "we cant expect Allen to do it all himself", I'd say that quote applies even more to the Defense. How about just for once, they show up, dont get fooled by simple stuff, make a stop, and dont put it on Josh to pull another game-winning drive out of his butt.

I think everyone, even Beane himself, would LIKE to have better WRs. We'd all like all-pros at every position. I think Beane's point was more along the lines of "we have to address the entire team, every position on every unit, and having all pro players everywhere just isnt possible". There is a finite amount of resources they can use and spend. We know the D was the weak link last year, so they focused on shoring it up. As Beane said (and my favorite line from this morning): "This isnt fantasy football".

Yep. We were the ONLY team all season that the Chiefs scored over 30 points on. They scored only 22 points against Philly. Had we held them to 22, or even 28, we win the KC game.

Agreed. Love it. Get em.

Certainly fair points. There's just so much to it. Such a weird/interesting story.

I'm not sure it gets that deep. It might, I dont know. But from what I heard about Shedeur's predraft interviews, and that he was far more interested in telling teams what HE thought about THEIR organization and how HE was going to change it for them, instead of listening to what they had to say about his playing and answering questions on the board, that's enough to make any prospect fall. He got too far ahead of himself and was acting like a franchise QB when he hadnt played a professional down yet. That type of attitude, at the QB position, aint gonna go well. Not much need for long-time grudges or drama past that.

You mean Beane isnt foaming-at-the-mouth mad about Cooks minor social media posts and isnt trying to trade away our 2nd best Offensive weapon? TBD hater brigade in shambles.

You got the first part right. Gen Z and their search for social media clout has "pranks" all wrong. A good prank, a real prank, is one where all parties are laughing in the end. Most of this social media "it's just a prank, bro" bs is mean-spirited punching down, or often times just straight up physical assault.

The issue isnt really the prank call. The issue is data security, or lack there of. The fact that someone was able to access Dad's device and get a phone number off of it opens the door to all sorts of security and responsibility questions. Over my 25 years in the tech world, we've fired plenty of people for less/similar. Kid is living the comfy life off of dad's million dollar pro coaching career, and he almost flushed it all over... tiktok clout. Plus, for as much heat as Shedeur took this weekend, he's a 21 year old getting drafted into the NFL. This "kid" is a 21 yr old making prank calls from his parent's basement. Pathetic for a grown adult young man.

You arent wrong. Fingers crossed his concussions dont make that decision for us.

And we also had multiple players from both sides of the ball talk about how the Chiefs threw stuff at them they hadnt seen before and werent ready for. Even with all the familiarity we have with them. That is coaching. The Bills have had plenty of luck. Our turnover numbers on both Offense and Defense last year was a lot of luck. We had a bunch of calls go our way too. Yes, good teams are lucky. But sometimes you have to make your own luck. And it wasnt luck that kept us out. It was poor performance by the coaches and defense. Again.

And yet, he and the defense are still the main reason we havent made it to the top of the mountain. Not the Offense. I dont care about his stats in Carolina.

I get them confused as well. "Some big WR whose name starts with SH that we've never really seen play"

McD and the Defense have done more to waste Josh's prime than anything else.

Not as long as Josh is the chef.

@Stenbar, thinking of Shavers?
