I’ll be right here Joe. I’m not afraid of my opinions. If the Bills win, great. The fans win.

Deal man. I’ll eat the crow.

I can’t wait either. I’m sure you’ll be here saying you were wrong when McD gets canned too.

Not in 2018 you don’t. The Patriots play in the crap and throw it all over, same with the Steelers, same with the Packers. Outside of the pure pure blizzard game this is no longer true. QBs are too good, the rules are too slanted.

And that’s Buffalo for you. As long as you can explain why something happened it’s okay and excused. The Coach we have right now tells you every chance he gets that he has to look at the tape and correct mistakes as the means to get better.

That’s why I said I wrestle with firing them. I realize it’s not sustainable to fire Coaches and GMs every two years. Winning franchises don’t do that. But if your force me to look in a crystal ball, I don’t think this works out.

Allen was far from a can’t miss, productive college player with manageable flaws coming out of school. Plenty of analysts flagged him. I don’t know for sure. But what I’ve seen so far does not lend itself to him getting it to me. I could be wrong, but Allen was a polarizing pick taken on the basis of potential, not real body of work.

If the Bills knew 4 games sooner than Manuel wasn’t the answer they could have had another QB in here. Instead we wasted resources skipping on Mack and having to waste time with Orton.

My gut tells me none of this is going to work. McDermott is Dick Jauron 2.0. Beane hasn't hit on anything he’s done. And Allen is going to bust. He was a marginal talent at Wyoming and he can’t read a defense or throw accurately in the NFL. I weigh this with becoming the Cleveland Browns firing GMs and Coaches every 2 years on average since 2000.

And we’ll play against that elite talent we pass on for the rest of our time in Buffalo like Watson and Mahomes.

I agree that any reasonable fan can see why the suck offensively, horrible players and McDermott’s conservative approach, but the problem is Beane and McDermott are paid to know more than the fans. 10 ppg for a draft pick was “the process” they were master minding this whole time?

The Bills are not in any position to pass on elite talent to trade down for more picks. They are trending towards a Top 5 pick.

Right. So so what kind of players are we going to surround Allen with? Possession guys? Tall Lanky “red zone threats”, speed guys? We had to have the rifle arm. Are we going to install a vertical offense? McDermott is going to move off the run game so we can throw more downfield?

No one is going bezerk. They’re aggrevated by the monotone message of McDermott and legitimately questioning whether Beane and McDermott can conjur an NFL worthy offense. We’ve gone from 18 ppg last year to 10 ppg this year. Worst offense tracked in over 33 years worth of data. We trust those guys with $80MM dollars in cap space and 10 picks because we scored 3 points in January against Jacksonville?

No you’re right, he has a secret binder that only him and Beane know about with the advanced, explosive, real NFL plays that he will call Beane gets 100% of the roster converted to his culture guys.

Peterman graphic should have been the raft splitting in half and him eaten by a shark to make it more accurate. Allen could have been panicking trying to swim and throw a life preserver.

Laughable. Chastising Bills fans for their lack of loyalty.

I think he truly believes that punting, field position, 3rd and manageable, running in snowy Buffalo are the keys to winning. And I think that mentality will never allow you to beat the good teams in the league.

McCoy needs to be moved permanently to the slot for the rest of his Bills career. Run Murphy and Ivory.

Me too. Nothing about him instills hope for real winning.

I think they are good, top 12 kind of good. But they are not historically great like the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens, 2002 Bucs, 2013 Seahawks, 2016 Broncos. They are no HOFers on this defense.

The Pick 6 was thrown by the 35-year ex-Panther backup who had to be talked out of retirement because the starter this Coaching Staff and FO picked is a disaster every time he sees the field. And you take issue with the fans? Seems like a joke of a team this FO has fielded.

Anquan Boldin, Kaelin Clay, Philly Brown, Rod Streater, Corey Coleman, Ray Ray McCloud, Ruben Foster, Kelvin Benjamin, Jeremey Kerley, tried Isaiah McKenzie, Tyrelle Pryor. Anybody other impact player I’ve forgotten?

Dear Fans, Don’t worry guys, keep eating poop and someday we’ll be dominating the league. Love, McDermott and Beane

Put McCoy permanently in the slot. Play Murphy at RB and spell within Ivory. Stop all sweeps and pitches as you lose yards every time you try this. Realize that in 2018 the bubble screen flare has replaced trying to get to the edge. Use 3-wide sets and utilize Croom on the outside.
