So what? In July, at training camp, the pundits will be writing "so and so" eats raw meat, and that's fine, but if this team can't at least clear the AFC Championship next January, then you'll be hearing the same chorus of "get rid of McDermott", "time to move on from Beane", or "another wasted year of Josh Allen's prime".

Robert James...a magician with the bump and run. All-pro 1972, 1973, 1974; suffered knee ligament damage in 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_James_(defensive_back)

This makes good business sense; Hallmark is located in Kansas City. Hallmark has a media production company which is very big into Christmas. They screen Christmas movies exclusively on all their channels beginning around Halloween, and running through to New Years. Chiefs were featured one of their Christmas movies last year; the Bills are supposed to be this year. It's a market the Chiefs could capture.

What's the right price got to do with it? It's a roster spot; the guy was terrible last season. Bring in someone else and improve the roster.

Hey, I'd take a half dozen 7-10 seasons, if they came with just one goddamned championship.

You give any one of those "average" teams Josh Allen as their starting QB, then I think that's a completely different stat line. And that's the difference: Bills have a once in a generation starting QB, but they are hamstrung by a HC and GM with obvious shortcomings who happened to luck into Allen.

Not going to win with a Beane picked, McDermott coached defense. Last time everyone blamed Leslie Frazier. The problem was/is much deeper. Elite defensive coaches don't lose playoff games in the last 13 seconds. McDermott is mediocre.

This is one hundred percent on Beane. He is ridiculously overrated as a GM.

I think it's time to move on from Beane. His drafting is spotty; lousy high round busts. He overpays on contracts. If not for lucking out with Josh Allen, these Bills teams going back five seasons would be hard pressed to win eight games a season.

Biggest difference between the 1972 Bills era and today: fans didn't wear merch anywhere near like they do now. In a way, I think it was more pure.
