According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch (rumored for Texans game too)

Not for nothing, but if the team was so ready to be done with Keon over this, why didn’t they just move him at a the trade deadline? 
 

There are teams who liked him in the draft and likely think he just doesn’t fit with Allen or is miscast outside. 
 

Im guessing they had to see Gabe get right and Keon was the insurance plan if he couldn’t?  

 

I would imagine it is possible they could have had him as part of a deal that didn't happen, but I highly doubt the Bills would want that info out there (as opposed to the info about almost getting Waddle which seemed like Beane wanted out there as a "hey, look, I tried" type of thing).

If Beane is retained next year I honestly do expect him to go all in on finding a true WR1 through the trade market. He has basically no choice because of the spotlight on that room right now, especially with the ridiculous WGR rant and the buzz around the failed Waddle trade. It just sucks that it will have taken the worst case scenario coming to fruition for him to finally learn his lesson, and as a result we wasted a season where the AFC was weaker than ever.

"IF"...c'mon man.  How exactly is a top 5 GM moved on from?  Missing the Playoffs, maybe?...And does anyone really think that is happening.

 

Yes, I agree with some frustration over the WR position (I wanted DK Metcalf bad).  I hope Beane finds an excellent WR1 - either by trade or FA (Pickens is a possibility although a slight head case). 

 

But Beane does have a choice, and his job is not in jeopardy, and the season hasn't been wasted, and it isn't over.  So, yeah, like wow.

I agree that Beane is not going anywhere anytime soon.  But he is not a top 5 GM.  He is one of the more overrated GMs in the league, and I’m sure by what he thinks of himself, extremely overrated.

 

His drafts overall are average at best. Free Agent signings below average.  Trades, other than Diggs, below average. Cap management, also average at best with all the mid to low dollar extensions he gives to average players that eat up so much of our cap.

 

He is 10/10 at media manipulation and intimidation.  He knows how to control and create narratives to his liking.  The local media and some national media all give in to his bullying and charm.  Maybe best GM in league at this.

 

He is a arrogant conman.

It is not impossible Beane is out at season's end. Mark my words. There are plenty of things to hold him accountable for and he's the easier replacement rather than McDermott.

No just tell him to pack up that stupid fluffy jacket and be at the airport at 7:30 so he can fly home where he belongs

Maybe not impossible but extremely, Extremely, improbable. 

 

And yes there are plenty of things to hold him accountable for, but many of those those things are positive.

It makes no sense to me.  This is a young player's chance to prove himself in the NFL - the decisions he makes could mean millions, or even 10's of millions.  

He won the physical lottery. Not the brains lottery.

I think the clearest message was McD talking about shavers taking all the little things, and dirty work things seriously and in turn excelling when it was his moment for a splashy play

 

surely a pat on shavers back but it felt like a very direct message about needing to learn the lesson still

There are rumblings that he was late again this week.

If he was late again this week, he should not see the field the rest of the season

Beane should get a ton of credit for Josh Allen and building an elite OL with the help of Aaron Kromer.

 

James Cook was a home run of a pick with the multiple trade downs and still getting one of the best RB’s in the league and then extending him on a somewhat team friendly contract compared to what Cook would get on the open market. 
 

After that, it goes downhill pretty quickly.  Some hits in the mid/late rounds but those guys don’t have the ceiling of early round picks .. which is why we have extensions for guys like Shakir and Benford and they’re simply good to very good, but not elite players. 

 

FWIW, I agree with @Buffalo716 that Beane's track record is very good drafting in the middle/late rounds.  The overall league'hit rate' there is like 15-20%, lower in the 6th and 7th.  Beane consistently finds guys who can ball - both guys who can start, like Milano, Benford, Shakir - and guys who can make the roster as backups/ST.  A lot of the guys we don't keep, wind up on other teams.

The philosophy for drafting Kincaid made zero sense and has been evident in the fact he plays like 30% of snaps per game as a big slot. 

 

For the season, Kincaid's snaps are 63%, 57%, and this season 43% of the snaps.  The lower % of snaps are due to leaving a game due to injury, and then working his way back in after missing games due to injury.

Seriously, I don't know what this means: "His reaction to being a scratch VS The Bucs was not take over well"

Josh said similar things about Shavers post game, that he "does things the right way" - which is always interesting as it does imply someone else may NOT be "doing things the right way".

It means he isn't showing he cares.  That shows his teammates and coaching staff that he doesn't have his priorities straight and he cannot be trusted on the field.

Thanks.  I think I understood the gist of the message, I just couldn't parse "was not take over well"

 

If he didn't think it was a big deal to miss a meeting, wouldn't you think he'd be angry about being benched, not dancing around on the sidelines?
