Just how does anyone expect the Bills to trade for a top pass rusher and make room in cap space?
-
Cap management by Beane needs to improve, I find amazing that this roster has so few all pro level players but always find themselves well over the cap. This is another reason why Beane needs to resist Cook's demands for 15 million. Another blunder is cap money he put into Dawson Knox and then drafts Dalton K

This is now on Beane, no question he needs to step up.

I question if Pegula has his own advisors to properly grade both McDermott and beanie or is everything ignored because Allen carries them to the playoffs on his own with very little support talent and a bunch of no name assistants. -
No thanks, he is too slow. The Bills need better speed at the corner position
-
End of the day, Beane needs to start drafting larger players. This defence is full of players that are either smaller or slower and rely on turnovers to get off the field

The Bills' rushing success last season was a team effort. While Cook was a primary contributor, Josh Allen, Davis, and Johnson played significant roles. It's important to consider Cook's snap percentage when evaluating his contract. Since becoming the starter, he played 55% of offensive snaps in 2023 and only 48% in 2024. This 2024 figure ranked 38th among running backs, considerably lower than league leaders and other top performers. Among the highest-paid running backs in 2024, only David Montgomery had a lower snap percentage than Cook due to sharing the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. Beane faces tough decisions this offseason regarding contract extensions. Considering Cook's snap percentage and the contributions of other players, it's reasonable to argue that prioritizing Cook's extension over Christian Benford, Greg Rousseau, Terrel Bernard, and Khalil Shakir may not be the optimal strategy. For me priority should be Shakir/Benford if he is healthy, Bernard, Rousseau and lastly Cook. This is not because I don't like Cook, I think he is very talented. I just don't think he is someone we could not replace in this coming draft so we don't have to overpay him. I also strongly believe you need a top receiver and passing game to win come playoff time. Look at the Super Bowl, the Chiefs totally shut Barkley but could not shut down Eagles receivers. I love Collins and even Shakir, but the Bills and Beane need to get Allen a #1 receiver and a defence that can get more stops.

Just glad the Bills took the guy who showed the best at the combine. Still remember the guys at WGR55 crying that we took the wrong Josh. Only thing that has gone wrong is Beane never getting him a true #1 that could do everything . Diggs was good but did next to zero in the big playoff games This is passing league and team that pass first do well. Bills offseason should be about getting Allen a stud a WR

I like the add a defensive coach from outside but this will never happen because McDermott only want yes men and thinks he is a defensive genius. Yes Andy Reid fired him in Philly because he is useless when it comes to defensives or at least on how to stop playoff level teams. We have not had one play year where our defence has stopped the other team, 3 opening drive TD'S this year and if Mark Andrews does not drop an east pass maybe the Bills are not even in title game because our defence could not stop anyone . One thing that needs to happen, get rid of Hamlin, he is one of worse covering safeties ever. So tired of seeing these small and slow then everyone else players we always seem to have on this team Get some players who are bigger and faster

Hire a top notch coordinator, I'm done with promotion of no name in house guys. Like why are we not firing the whole defensive staff, yet McDermott promotes guys from a lousy defence When was the last time McDermott hired a big name coordinator from the outside. Everyone living off of Allen and we"re not fixing anything repeating the same thing every offseason and expecting a different result.
-
McDermott only keeps yes men around and because of that there is zero accountability . The fact is our defensive coordinator should be fired, our defence was as healthy as you could be and still was garbage in the playoffs. 3 straight opening TD drives, they are a mess who can't get to the QB and give up way too many first downs. Look at the Rams and Lions games McDermott is a good HC but the Bills will never win a title with him because he won't dare bring in a top notch defensive coordinator from the outside. He think he knows defence and has never focused solely on being a HC. When have we ever seem our defence cone in with a plan that totally confused the other team? Yet Beane keeps spending huge resources on our defence Hire a top notch coordinator from the outside and stop with these in house promotions to McDermott clones

It Goes Back to 13 Seconds, Doesn't It?

Marv at least got us to the big dance, I doubt the Bills will ever make a Super Bowl with McDermott as the HC. -
How many first downs did they have? or big chuck plays?, the standards cannot be so low that giving up the most points 32 that the chiefs have scored at home all season long is considered a great job by our defence In other cities the defensive coordinator is fired after 3 straight weeks of giving up opening drive TD'S. It does not happen here because Mcdermott calls the defensive shots and will not do to others what Andy Reid did to him. This is why there is no accountability , no matter how bad things are no one gets fired. It was not just the playoffs, look at the games against the Rams or Lions and how many points were giving up. I'm so tired of seeing this team lose in these big games and no one gets fired or we look to upgrade from outside. Even those Super Bowl Bills teams had coordinator turnover and guys got fired and replaced . Andy Reid has no problem firing coordinators
-
This is a problem with McDermott, he is a control freak who surrounds himself with yes men. Only big name coordinator that he hired was Dabol and they never got along great because Dabol wanted to pass more than run. I don't include Frazier because he just did what Mcdermott asked him to, another yes man It's got to the point where Pegula should tell him that things are not working out in the playoffs on the defensive side of the ball and that's not fair to Allen. He could easily hire a big name defensive coordinator and demote current coordinator. 3 playoff games in a row the other team just went down the field and scored a TD like it was a 7 on 7 drills, not acceptable and in other cities/teams guys get fired. When has he ever fired a defensive coordinator, even Frazier they made up some story about him retiring and then he goes and gets another job a year later I personally believe McDermott really never fires any defensive coordinators because they are yes men and just doing what he asks them to do, essentially he is calling the plays and coming up with the schemes
-
McDermott won't do it himself because he surrounds himself with yes men, how many times this season have teams just drove down the field making it look like a 7 on 7 drill? The fact is McDermott as a defensive coordinator was fired by Andy Reid in Philly. Just once I would like to see a defensive plan that surprises the other team.
-
I would be ok with Pegula asking McDermott to fire his special teams coordinator and defensive coordinator, replace them with people from the outside. People that have Super bowl experience
