Beane prefers all the many every body eats pieces.  We don’t need a Chase that completely takes over game. We would rather spend $20m+ on Moore, Samuel, Knox, etc. 

Not only do we spend all this cap money on lower to mid tier players, but then we have no clue how to incorporate them into our offense. So as far as money goes, everybody is eating.....they're just not producing.

@Virgil, your post would seem to absolve McDermott of any responsibility. Do you think that McDermott sat there like a trained puppy and said "yes sir" to anything Beane wanted to do? McDermott was here before Beane and had control over the draft. You remember, the one in which he gave Mahomes to KC and drafted a cornerback.

 

Imo, there is absolutely NO WAY that McDermott does not have at least an equal say. In fact, if one had to go I would rather see McDermott gone than Beane. If nothing else, Beane was able to keep Josh in Buffalo. I don't even want to think about this Bills team without Josh. 

McDermott has influenced Beane to make all those defensive picks in the 1st three rounds and neglecting the offense.   The lack of offensive weapons is stunning and with the OL puking the last two games, it has really shown its true colors.

or the Mahomes trade or the Worthy Trade .... Sheesh...it is what it is!

so true in every aspect.

 

He has panicked on every 1st round or 2nd round picks.  He doesn't let the draft come to him.   

we pick too much for the need.

And the huge contracts doled out to Benford, Rosseau and Bernard are going to bite this team for a long time (like it has been with Milano)

He’s done so many weird things over the years. The hyper focusing on building a team to specifically beat the Chiefs, only to find out a few years later that the Chiefs no longer looked like the team you’ve been emulating and hoped to beat. That left us very vulnerable and we’re extremely fortunate that the Ravens didn’t knock us out. How about just be the best version of yourself.

Great point about the OL. Dion Dawkins is excellent. He will also be 32 before next season. He is listed at 320 lbs. but he looks heavier to me. My point? The Bills should always be going after OL depth and talent in the draft, along with of course wide receivers. Why? Because Josh Allen is our quarterback. McDermott wants to build around cornerbacks and DTs. This has been his signature from day one. 

 

The season is not over. The Bills can come back. That said, the Atlanta game was as bad as I have seen them play in a very long time. Would McBeane trade a first round pick for Waddle (who is rumored to be available)?  I don't know. They might need that pick for another corner.
