There’s 100% tension between them.  
 

They’re rarely ever together. 
 

And while I have legit criticisms of McDermott, this year has made it pretty clear to me that Beane is the bigger hindrance to us getting over the hump.  
 

Just look at McDermott’s post-trade deadline presser.. you could tell he was under the impression help was coming and Beane failed to pull the trigger.  
 

Beane isn’t terrible, but when the margins are so tight and we are paying a QB 50M, he’s got to be better .. and this isn’t isolated to Beane.. seems every team with an elite QB is now struggling with this issue and the Chiefs are finally coming back down to earth as their cheat codes in Kelce & Jones age out. 

wait so every team w an elite QB is now struggling and we are doing the best...and somehow Beane is a big hindrance? how does that add up

All those stats are very nice, except it’s the TEs/RBs that are more productive in terms of Yards per catch, yards per attempt, TDs and chunk plays.

 

Josh has thrown to 9 WRs (218 targets) this season with 8 making catches (147 receptions for 1694 yards).  That’s a 67.4% completion %, a 11.5 yards per catch and 7.77 yards per attempt.

 

Josh has thrown to 8 TEs and RBs (156 targets) with all 8 making catches (121 receptions for 1443 yards).  Thats a 77.6% completion %, a 11.9 yards per catch and 9.25 yards per attempt.  This group also leads 12 TDs to 10 with 6 different TEs/RBs catching a TD pass to only 4 WRs.  3 of the 4 longest passing plays have gone to Kincaid, Cook and Johnson.  Slot receiver Shakir has the other.

 

Last I looked the RBs and TEs were supposed to be the safety blankets, not the primary downfield threats.  

 

If the WRs were so good, why has Beane brought in during the season Cooks, Davis and Hardman while releasing Moore?  Injuries are a factor, but so ineffectiveness.  
 

Face it, the strength of our passing attack is Cook, Johnson, Kincaid, Knox and Hawes.  Shakir is having a down year, and the boundary wide outs aren’t good.

The Las Angeles Rams have one of the best QB’s in the league and they have one of the best tandem WR’s in the League as well with Puka Nacua (1,186 YDs) and Davante Adams (718 Yds). Yet the Bills are more efficient in the passing game than the Rams. The Rams have 3,354 passing yards from 422 attempts (7.95 Yds per attempt) with those 2 players getting over 57% of those passing yards. The Bills have 3,134 passing yards on 374 attempts (8.37 Yds per attempt.) with the Bills leading receiving yards from Shakir, Kincade, Coleman, and Knox making up just under 57% of those yards.

Why do people care more about the Number on the Jersey who is catching the ball than efficiency of the Bills passing game overall. Again, they are in the top 5 in many important receiving statistics, but everyone is complaining about who is making the plays. I am not so sure spending 30 million on a #1 WR would change these numbers much, it would just decrease the receiving yardage of 7 or 8 other players. I believe that 30 million could be spent better elsewhere, and it's never a guarantee that picking a receiver at the end of the first round is going to be that #1, otherwise they wouldn't be there.  I personally like the fact that the Bills spread the ball around and do not rely on 1 or 2 players to move the ball in the air. The Bills are tied with the Rams with the most 20 + yards passing plays with 50. For Christ sakes what more do you want, you complain about the number on the Jersey?

 

Go Bills!!!
