Buffalo Boy

But, I’ve been told repeatedly it’s not a rebuild😵😵‍💫🫣 I hate this take that so many of you spew!!!! Not winning the whole thing but getting to the playoffs every year is worse than being 8-8 or 6-10. ASPIRE to be a champion and settle for nothing less. We have THE best QB any of us will ever see in our lives as Bills fans. He can’t do this without the right coach and help around him.

13-3 Marty Schottenheimer says 🙋

I dont disagree and that is sad

Giving McD a do over is ludicrous. I don’t care if we are closer than we were during the drought. It’s not enough. I understand how unpopular this opinion is to some but Belicheat, running a Defense and having Josh for the next 4 years with Beane or another qualified GM DOING the GM-ing is much more preferable to a guy who is never going to get us over the hump. Watching Josh waste away gives us a taste of what Fins fans must have felt like with Marino…..all time great being squandered right in front of our eyes.

Does Beane have Kompromat on some of you? Geez, the guy isn’t perfect. None of the GMs are. We all watch ridiculous head scratchers every year. 6 QBs in the first 12picks? You think none of those were bad or reaches? It’s a message board, on a fan site, of course it’s a LAMP. Every single post on this board is, always🤷‍♂️

Covid time must have been tough for you to witness😒 My honest sympathy

But was he a better pick than McConkey, Mitchell, Worthey or Legette? Opinion, yes but most of what I saw pre draft had all of them ranked higher. No one on this board was calling for Coleman and it seems the character thing came into serious play. Maybe in Mitchell’s case that is cool but the nice guy isn’t necessarily the best guy.

The one thing I specifically hate about this draft is the “ Drafting for need” feel of it as opposed to BPA, with Coleman appearing to be example 1A. Character matters but it should not be the overriding concern it seems to be. Drafting for need is a perfect recipe for failure .

Which was my point earlier. I think the coach matters and Beane came after McD did his first draft. He was also from Carolina so…..

Gonna be playing in my head all morning🤬🤬🤬😜

I moved to CLT 1/1/98 I lived through both Hurney regimes and Gettlemen. Maybe, you could make the case Beane has reverted to Gettlemen/ Hog Mollies/ Big body thinking but I think that’s a reach. DL, LB and RB is Defensive minded, ball control outlook. Maybe Beane AND McD share a common outlook. Maybe they are entirely too wedded at the hip. IMO McD is the one driving the agenda and Beane is placating him. An idea/question: If Beane were to bring in a different HC with a different outlook, Does Beane keep drafting these “ high character “ guys or do we go in a different direction . I’m guessing the latter.

Continuity! The loss of multiple vets, at various positions on O and D , who knew what they were supposed to do and were experienced. McD has to start at square 1 with a lot of these Rookies. That counts for a lot. And, that wasn’t even close to a game we “ almost won”. The Chiefs played smart ball and let us beat ourselves….. which we did. Remember that awesome fake punt attempt that no one saw coming… oy vey…. There was some high level coaching for you.

But Why Miller? There is no way McD didn’t have a large part to play in that choice. The old We took a shot excuse. They should have surrounded Josh with more talent but the pissed the money away on an aging vet edge.

A-BLEEPING-men!!!

Last years losses to the Jets and Pats just called. They’d like to have a word with you about the dangers of second hand smoke.

How much of this is simply because of Josh being the freak that he is? He has single-handedly carried this team repeatedly. That doesn’t mean we are true SB team though. After Josh, who do we have who’s moving the needle? A couple guys maybe…

That anyone is even arguing this isn’t true is absurd.

Big, glaring, important drops. I would LOVE for him to turn that around. We would have a Thurman level weapon if he does but I’m not holding my breath.

Huh You don’t say. Of course it is, it was when they started culling older guys and creating cap space for NEXT year. If I’d only known😒 But, you know, let’s not use the dreaded “ Rebuild” word!!! It’s too ScArY😱😱😱🫣😑 Let’s call it a “ retool” or argue that as long as we have Josh it can NEVER be a rebuild. Let’s also not suggest the first SB window closed and McClappy didn’t piss away an all time QB playoff performance . Let’s stick to our “ We can still win the SB” mantra cuz it makes us feel good. I’m not straight out calling a bunch of you rubes but🤷‍♂️ Reality doesn’t require your participation but some of the serious Pie in the Sky bs some on here have been peddling does. The next window MAYBE opens next season but probably 2026 if things go well.

Cook is worse the Davis catching balls. He dropped three layup TDs last year. Unless he makes some huge leap in catching, I want no part of him out wide this year.

Uhh, Knox and Cooke just called to say, Don’t forget about us.

This board was an absolute $#!+show at times, this draft. Posters who, purportedly, watch this team are surprised by the direction the draft went in🤔

Not according to half this board 😜

Good stuff Admittedly, I don’t know where the “ Coleman was the last WR left that Josh like” thing came from. IF it came out of the Bills org it just strikes me as not great. Can’t imagine a Saban or Hoodie worrying about what their QB wanted in a public forum. My turn to talk out both sides: I want Allen to be happy and feel that the team is going in a direction that maximizes what he has to offer. I just don’t like the appearance of public need to get the info out ( if that is what happened) . It seems weak and slightly desperate. In the end it doesn’t make any difference just how it struck me.

Absolutely McD himself helped bring in this Two Deep/ keep everything in front of you era against the elite QBs. When Brady came in last year suddenly we had a good running game and Cooke was allowed to cook. Ball control, shorten the game, keep your D rested….. what one should expect from a Defensive coach. Coleman and Kincaid is like a two TE set where both can catch. IF Coleman can block, even better. If we get some outside speed next year, we are off to the races again while not getting Josh killed this year.
