Carolina is likely planning to try and run it all over us. Hopefully we start with a heavy box and the DBs can hold up on their own.

almost like MCnoD’s strategies are horrid.

during the regular season, sure. But come playoff time, as you pointed out earlier, our D gets exposed. This year, mediocre QBs (we haven't played a great one yet apart from Jackson) have beaten us, and middling RBs have run all over us.

how much of this is because we play in the AFC East which was pretty barren over that time span. Also, our D collapses in the playoffs. Our "bend and don't break" structure does not work against top QBs, and this year does not work against mediocre QBs.

McVay as HC? New GM But being serious, I think WR and CB/safety. A LB would also be nice. So would DE.

How about Trubiski for Wilson?

as long as McD is here, adding or subtracting coaches won't really matter. The D is still the soft shell nonsence.

Yeah, coaches way to stubborn for much of this, but I like most of the suggestions. However, Larry O being a great savior is way overstated. Steelers couldn't wait to see him gone. I'm not sure he is much more than a JAG at best. I'd also add, we need to trade for a safety at least. Poyer or Rapp and Bishop strike fear into no one. Literally we could trade with some colleges and likely improve.

A good suggestion, and some teams may be very interested (PGH, pair with Metcalf again), but here, no more 2nd or 3rd tire WRs.

yeah I get this. But incompetence at old man bball is different than incompetence from what should be the best football officials. I don't think the reffs are trying to favor certain outcomes, I think a lot of them are legitimately bad, and it's a bad look for the NFL. The NFL also needs to be transparent about fining refs or demoting them fot totally agregis calls like what happened in the Giants-Broncos game (PI call). Also, making more such calls revewable would help. Payton could have challenged that call.

and that 10 points was against a backup D basically. Really shows how bad our D is from roster construction to coaching.

they should be gone if they fail to win the SB this year. Every other team in the AFC was hobbled out of the gate by losses and/or injuries. Bean did jack during the offseason to improve the roster other than his continual signing of mid-tier FAs. McD is still running the small D that gets gashed by good-great QBs, and now by medicore ones. Big Blowhard seems appropriate. McFranklin for the HC.

The folks who believe the only thing that is keeping us from the drought years are McD and Bean I don't get. It can't get worse. You could pick anyone in a NFL FO and coaching staff (or even college) and they would get the same 12-15 wins and early playoff exit. We need to swing for the SB while Allen is here.

The team is a total dumpster fire from the FO on down with the exception of a few players. Clean out the entire FO, paritcularly given this: "In a post-draft interview on the Bills’ flagship radio station WGR 550-AM, Beane lashed out at the hosts for criticizing his lack of attention to wide receiver throughout the offseason. The club thought Beane was righteous and entertaining enough to feature his rant — that the Bills even had to bleep — at the very beginning of their behind-the-scenes draft special. The Bills didn’t lead with material about the rookies they drafted; they wanted to ridicule." Ridiculing a very legitimate question is nonsensicle. Great rant by Bean. There's the door

difference is the KC roster is MUCH better.
