Beasley is tough as nails and catches just about everything 

Beasely brought unnecessary crap not just on himself but into his teammates who had to answer repeated questions about him.

His YAC ability makes me yack.
We need to bring in younger, faster guys who are threat to actually do something after the catch.

I give Beane a lot of credit.  No excuses, he stood there and took it like a man.  I'm confident we're in good hands in the FO.  Beane did his job and got the right bodies on the field to win the Super Bowl, except for the coach.  He said that he and McD were going to learn from this.  I hope McD does learn, because I don't know how many more playoff losses I can take where McD chokes it away.

How do you know his teammates care about having to answer questions?  If anything, he was standing up and protecting guys like our new #2WR who scored 4 TD's in a Playoff Game.  

 

I think we should really evaluate whether or not he's right for this team next year based on ability, but some of you need to stop projecting your views on a certain topic onto team chemistry.  By all indications, he's respected and loved by his teammates.

Interesting that he and McDermott talked about protecting Josh with a running game 

A light shines down from heaven…..

I wouldn't mind some help at Guard, C, DT, S and RB.  Motor proved himself and his skilset, get a downhill burner to compliment him so we can ditch Moss and Breida.

I have to disagree wrt Bean.  Bean did not get the bodies on the field to win the SB.  We did not have a RB1 (not that it mattered with Allen this year, but could have cost us home field), nor did Bean fix the defense in the offseason.  He tried by throwing darts at two DEs in the draft, but that didn't work.   He failed to trade for Von Miller at the trade deadline.

 

Totally agree on McD/Frazier chocking and playing scared at big moments at the end of games.

Outside of White, our outside corners are too slow. That is where the change needs to come imo. Speed in the secondary is the issue imo. No reason to re-sign Wallace, as Dane Jackson gives you the same production.

He's not perfect, and we can certainly criticize him for the lack of impact generated by the heavy investment at DL and back to back 3rd RD running backs - However, that team he built had a 3 point lead (95% chance to win) with 13 seconds left against the defending AFC Champions with the right to play the AFC CG at home on the line.

"I don't see us being big spenders" - Beane on FA

 

great, more average additions to the D, and more average results and an early playoff exit.  Sucks for Josh to have to watch that shi* show from the sidelines.

I'm not absolving the horrendous coaching at all.  It's really both, personnel and coaching.  If you hire Frazier, who only really rushes 4, you need a stud DE.  And our strategy was to draft one and hope he was a day 1 stud.  Mind boggling.

That roster was good enough to win a Super Bowl.  We would have if McD hadn't choked it away.  Could the roster have been better?  Sure, it could have.  But it was good enough.  It will be better next year, and I hope McD is up to it.

I just don't agree with this.  We got gashed on the ground v. the Colts to the tune of 45 points.  That mostly on the players.  We failed to do anything against Jax--players.  Coaching is def an issue, but if we had better players, esp. an impact player in the front 7 and a RB1, we would have been the 1 seed and the outcome is much different v. KC.

Motor is Nyheim Hines. We need a Jonathan Taylor

I don't expect the first three to be on the team next year. Probably doesn't matter anymore anyways, I doubt there will be any restrictions/daily testing.

[Brand J]

I was amazed and encouraged by how well the OL pass blocked against the Chiefs. Didn’t hear at all from Chris Jones or Frank Clark really, though Ingram made a few plays. What do you do in this situation? A finesse OL that doesn’t run block well, but can pass block efficiently. Who do you look to upgrade? Bates? He wasn’t at all a weakness. Is Morse sticking around?

Norwood didn't choke.  He missed a kick that he didn't normally make.  He was a very accurate kicker on short-range kicks, but to kick from 47-48 yards out (which in those days was a long FG - it's a more routine distance these days), from the right hash, on grass - not to mention the pressure of the situation - is not a kick Norwood would typically make.  Yes, he could have risen to the occassion and didn't, but it wasn't a choke.  Sunday's final 13 seconds was a true choke.  Effectively keeping a team out of FG range in 13 seconds, including a kickoff, is something that a team would normally be able to do.

To expound...  At the time 49 yds would've tied his career long & would've been the longest kick in Superbowl history (or at least on grass; I don't recall specifics).

[78thealltimegreat]

Reading between the lines he wants to upgrade the running game to protect Josh and a speed at receiver

So Joe Bus made a big deal out of the lack pass of pass rush on that Hill TD - a play where neither AJE nor GR won their battles. That's where a GM earns his money. Does he look at that play and think - well a DE means Mahomes doesn't get off an easy pass, or does he think - a better corner means Hill isn't quite so open

I’d like another disruptor who can pressure from the interior. Oliver is the only one on roster who gives you that consistently. Would like to add someone next to him

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

I don't think Levi is going to come cheap. 

 

I read an article about him on the Athletic and Levi views himself as one of the Best Off Ball corners since Tre went down. 

Couple that with his Agent basically saying the Bills looked every which way to upgrade him the past two years, I think his agent and him have taken the mindset that you want to keep me, show me the money.
