LEBills

Cowherd has been critical of the Bills coaching for awhile too. He thinks McDermott is a good coach but that head coaches need to be offensive minded in this day and age. The criticism is finally catching up to Beane who had evaded it almost entirely for years. McDermott rightfully gets criticized for not having what it takes to get us to the Suoerbowl. But Beane sits right along side of him as an anomaly in this league. Every GM that has been tenured longer than him has been to a Super Bowl. He made two good moves in his tenure, drafting Allen and trading for Diggs. He stopped making big trades, his one big FA signing - Von -didn’t work, and his one top 10 pick post Josh has been just ok (both big Defensive splashes of course). Too many misses, not enough swings. Not f’ing things up too bad can keep you around for awhile, but not hitting on enough should get you canned.

He did pass on Mahomes 😬

Have you heard any rumblings about changes to the front office? Because what is crazy is I think Beane really does feel he has invested significantly at WR. Keon was his first draft pick in 2024 and Palmer was his biggest free agent signing in 2025 (And he would probably argue that Kincaid is a receiving threat too and he was the first pick in 2023). Obviously they are woefully inadequate when you basically neglect WR for the previous 4 years. Someone will be available next offseason via trade, but will Beane have the gumption to spend the picks and the money to go get them? with all the criticism he has taken he may… As for Aiyuk, if he makes it to the Bills on waivers he needs to be added. Best case scenario he is the piece that unlocks our passing game and helps us go on a playoff run that likely goes through playoff newbies in NE, Denver and Indy. He is a really good receiver when healthy. Or maybe he just accrues some good stats and then he goes and gets a decent size contract with another team in FA and we get a comp pick in 2027. Or worst case scenario is he does nothing, he walks at the end of the year and you move on like the Ravens did with Dionte Johnson a few years ago.

Omg omg omg omg

Bills squad has some takes I hadn’t thought about before. Like how Beane and McDermotts posturing through interviews may be pointing to a bit of a rivalry between the two - part of their post trade deadline discussion. Jeremy is goated for taking Beane’s outburst in stride and pretty quickly being vindicated by the teams play this season.

Read the first three words of the title really excited, then the next 6 sad

We added Josh Palmer! 😂

I think this team is too flawed to do it, but if there was a year make a run as a wildcard, this is the year. Broncos, Patriots, Colts, and Steelers have not won a playoff game since 2018 or earlier. Experience does matter in the playoffs. Bills, Ravens or Chiefs could find a way to beat inexperienced teams with young or mediocre quarterbacks.

Yea Beane has not figured out how to build a roster with a star quarterback contract in the books. He still wants to make moves in free agency like he did when Allen was on his rookie deal and we could sign all the middling free agency’s he wanted without screwing the cap terribly. He needs to sit early free agency out for a year. Add guys on one year, near minimum contracts later to let some of this dead cap fall off and focus on the draft. Or preferably another GM will do that this year.

It is time. Not sure Kromer or Ronald Curry will better, they may even be worse. But the trade deadline is past so our roster is basically set. McDermott isnt going anywhere and any changes to defensive coaching won’t affect how the D is designed due to that. So the only real change to try is at O Coordinator. See if someone else can design an offense to improve our weaknesses. If it goes sideways and we lose a few more games, who cares. We aren’t winning a Super Bowl with this current formula anyway. Lets hope a real shakeup can happen this off season.

Finally the discussion is being had

2020 we drafted Gabe in round 4 2021 Stevenson was a round 6 pick 2022 Shakir was a 5th 2023 Shorter was a fifth Not enough investment regardless of who is in charge

Shavers looked great today. He is nothing special speed wise but he got himself wide open for three big plays today. Looked like the tuddy they got him inside and Diaby (DE) rode him to the sideline and then released. Shavers took it deep and was fast enough (long striders can be deceptively fast on those longer routes) to beat the safety comfortably. Josh buying time was critical. Shavers had the deep in where he just found the soft spot on the zone. Then down by our own goal line, he got in his DBs toes and when he turned broke it to the sideline to be WIDE open. Really good showing for him today. He isn’t going to be a superstar but if he can be our Romeo Doubs that would help so much.

Only 16 games in 2022 due to Damar too Diggs averaged more yards per game and a higher percentage of his qbs yards than Reed did. Reed was very good and had great longevity but I agree with Bull, Diggs was better just brief.
