The way to compensate for losing Tre White is to finally get Stefon Diggs a running mate in the passing game.
Three years late is better than never.

We made a business decision.
He needed a fresh start anyway, as I said at the time when I predicted he would find some success with his new team.
Dude was so far into his head he was tripping over his own feet and looked nothing like his college tape. The Bills had to move on. And I'm no apologist for the FO.

Meanwhile, Edmunds has graded poorly so far in Chicago.
51.2 PFF grade and the fans writing tweets like this…
Who could have predicted this???

You weren't quite the only one. I was a regular Daboll defender. But it was like holding back the hoards at times.
"It's all Josh" was the prevailing wisdom at the time.

Josh was something like 18/22 with an average of 4.8 YPT… let’s not act like the short passing game was going great… it was going exactly as the Jets planned… that type of production just encourages mistakes which is what the the Jets got.
If the Bills had RAC beasts like, say, Tyreke Hill and Jaylen Waddle, then throwing short all day would be more viable and no doubt Josh would do it more consistently.

That just isn't how the Bills are going to play defense. I get fans hate it because it isn't "aggressive" but it has been pretty successful for them and I don't think they are going to change it. I think they drafted Elam telling themselves they were more willing to use some press-man as a wrinkle in the scheme but then in reality they just are not comfortable playing that way. They want to be a bend don't break, keep it in front, limit the big play style of defense.
Stupid, wasteful draft pick.

The NFL is so commercialized and political and the game has changed so much-- so different than it was years ago. I'm not nearly as gung ho about NFL football as I used to be.

Just here to remind everyone that without the best QB in NFL history, Belichick has a losing record as a head coach. This could be his last year
He went to the playoffs with Mac Jones and sh*t roster. They're a tough out every season by default simply because Bill Belichicknid their coach, no matter how bad the players are.

This gives us a replacement level player at MLB. I'll take it. It is still a position of weakness but at least now it isn't a gaping hole. I'm not sure Dodson and Bernard are even 2nd string caliber players.
Why have we been developing Dodson all this time only for him to suck that badly? Not good for a head coach who supposedly knows defense.

Weren’t they missing 3 starting lineman in the playoffs?
And they still completely dominated a defensive line that the Bills' front office had over-invested in.

I was sh!tting on Beane and I did misread the graphic. But my point is common sense. It's business 101 level. Tough negotiators get the best deals and people trying to sell things to tough negotiators HATE that. Everyone wants the success to come easy. Beane has delivered an inordinate amount of over-market deals in his years as GM. He has done stup!d ***** like giving pay cuts to players who needed to be cut........like Star and Vernon Butler........and been rewarded with sh!t effort. He has been taken advantage of by agents. Facts. His list of "steals" in UFA is one deep..........Daryl Williams in 2020. I think Beane is a great office executive(which the Pegula's needed) and tremendous at PR but he really needs to turn the corner as a personnel man and negotiator. And soon.
He's hopeless bro, give it up. He made good decisions on Allen and Diggs and it covers up a whole lot of crap.

Josh looked pissed.
Not that it matters, the Bills were somehow stupid enough to have no competition for Davis....again. Mind boggling.

The premise of this thread isn’t to give Beane a “break” for missing on Elam (if that is the case), but to ask a question about whether the team is in bad shape with three competent CB2 options.
That's a stupid premise.
The Bills will always be fine at cornerback as long as Sean McDermott is the Head Coach.
They can sign a guy off the street at any time and in a matter of weeks have him functioning well enough in their zone defense to be getting on with-- early on they did it with a forgotten never-was named Ryan Lewis who now plays in the XFL. The defense played at a high level with this crappy nobody starting at CB2.
They've excelled with end-of-the-draft nobodies and UDFAs over and over. Levi, Dane, Benford.
Kaiir Elam was a pointless ######ed ass draft pick to begin with.
The talent level at WR is about 5X more important for this team than at CB.
There's probably hyperbole in this rant but no doubt about it there's a gem of a point in there somewhere too.

How ironic would it be if Isabella makes the team and starts to steal Harty’s reps? One was a FA signed almost immediately, the other was essentially out of the NFL, waiting for a call.
Maybe it just means they both suck

Well, he has always been a homer but he knows, from experience, that the results of preseason games are completely meaningless.
You seem to really care about this preseason game. Maybe you are the one being ridiculous...
You sure? Even Dawkins said they didn't play up to their standard at times. I venture a guess other players and coaches would agree in a moment of candor.
Are you of the belief they should have no standards for themselves at all in these games? If that's the case then it probably hurts more than helps to play starters at all, opening them up to forming bad habits.

" I think this competition is over guys. The job is won. O'Cyrus Torrence got the start at right guard after battling Ryan Bates in camp and he took every snap with the first team unit and then stayed in there for a couple of drives with the second team. Bates played exclusively as the second team center. And boy did he take the opportunity. He was a significant part of the Bills' early run game success. He moves people at the point of attack and while tougher tests will lie ahead in pass protection this was a really impressive first outing. Isn't impossible that the Bills revert to Bates at guard week 2, but I think it is trending strongly towards the rookie being the guy. "
I would say the bolded says enough with how he did
DUNKIN' on Royale With Cheese bro

I respect that constructive criticism. Thanks Gunner.
I'm going to stay more silent because I don't want to become a nuisance. I know I may have already crossed that line already.
I'll be here but won't post much. I don't feel silenced or feel like a victim. I think its best for all of us.
Go Bills!!!!
I think that's fair. I have opinions people don't like to read and I'm still going to state them but I did not spend this offseason spamming the board with them. The point is not to rain on the parade unnecessarily.

So if you want to make a case that Beasley and Brown were brought in as "sure handed veterans Josh knows he can trust" because he didn't trust Davis, McKenzie, and Shakir, you need to be able to show that Beasley and Brown took snaps from those "droppy" guys when they were otherwise healthy.
Spoiler: they didn't. McKenzie pulled a hammy in the final NWE game, was inactive vs Miami in the WC round, and had a lower load in the Bengals game - because of the hammy, not because of drops.
Why?
Nyheim Hines was acquired "to help Josh Allen" according to Beane. Did he actually take snaps from anyone?
And Beasley and Brown had way less time to get acclimated than Hines did.

That's why fans think they brought in Smoke and Beas (that order). But it doesn't add up.
I think it was, purely and simply, a numbers game. Crowder broke his leg October 8. Hodgins was on the roster. Then, in a "squeeze play" with Tre White needing to be activated but not quite ready to play at the beginning of Nov so we needed to roster an extra CB, we exposed Hodgins to waivers and the G-men pounced. Less than 2 weeks later we put Kumerow on IR.
At that point, the Bills had only 4 WR left on the roster - Diggs Davis McKenzie and Shakir!!!! We needed depth! We were elevating Tanner Gentry off the practice squad and using Quintin Morris some as a WR (which actually, is not a bad thing in my view but I digress).
If you look at the snap counts, it's pretty clear they were not trusting Brown and Beasley above McKenzie and Shakir.
They were trusting them above Tanner Gentry and Keesean Johnson.
Also, if Josh didn't trust Davis, he was targeting the hell out of a guy he didn't trust, because Davis target share went up if anything the 2nd half of the season, while Diggs target share dipped at times.
You say we had 4 WRs- Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Shakir. Three of the four drop a ton of balls. The Bills brought in two sure-handed veterans who Josh knows he can trust with the football. The Bills had sooo many drives end because of drops.

I guess predicting a player to be cut Or play a meaningless role is one way of setting expectations.
My realistic expectations for Shakir: 500-600 yards, 3 Tds. That seems way different than those posters, you quoted.
I'd expect the same for Kincaid, with more TDs.
Harty is a wild card to me, if he's healthy we have 6 guys that could go over 500 yards: Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, and Harty
You can play poorly and get volume stats if you get lots of targets from Josh Allen so I don't know what your expectations for his level of play actually are.
