This is a reasonable take with sound logic. I think that offense is worse. They still have a crap OL. They still have some nice targets to throw to. But Joe Mixon of a few years ago > Chase Brown. I don't think we need to focus on the run as much this go around. True. But he's got that really cool spinning throw he made in warm ups.

I would tend to agree, but our issues started in TC. Maybe we infected him?

He'll be back. They always come back

This, IMO is not a bad look for Beane at all. A player was on waivers and he claimed him. He can't help that Slay had his heart set on Philadelphia. And from what I see, a team can't contact the player or agent and tamper while a guy is on waivers. Y'all would have lost it if Beane did that and it cost the Bills a day two pick. Slay wanted to play the system and got played. And even if his agent tries to play hardball and not deal with the Bills next year as "punishment"...it's a poor look on the agent. If the Bills are high bidder for a player he represents, he would be leaving money for himself and his client on the table. Dumb move. If the Eagles wanted Slay bad enough, they should have given something up at the deadline for him. Maybe they tried and he wasn't available then. But in any event he can report to Buffalo and play ball ..or sit home. Bills should easily be able to recoup his pay if he doesn't report.

More important, every play they turn around and hand him the ball it's on less time they are throwing to Chase or Higgins. I HOPE they try and run the ball

Agree. At some point in a HC's career they pretty much graduate from having to take a coordinator position. I believe, it's only happened once before. Off the top of my head the only guy I can think of that took that step down was Gary Kubiak. And I believe that had some to do with health issues. Once a guy coaches a team to a Super Bowl win, doors fly open. From being a talking head on pregame shows, to consultant jobs with teams.

And if he does play, how long before he's in the blue tent. The don't call him Dalton Firstaid for nothing.

Right now, I have Rams vs Broncos. Lot of time left and things can change. I think 8-10 teams have a realistic shot

Maybe. But we might put 35 on their defense by halftime too

Jackson has had an injury plagued year

No. And that's not a negative about the Bills. There's just way too much parity in the NFL this year. Yeah, but see....4 years ago....

You are seriously underestimating the chances of Josh Rosen coming back and leading the team that originally drafted him.. Arizona...to Super Bowl Glory. There will be Hallmark movies made about it

That's why I said "help" and not "heal".

It would. Helps our pass game as well. That defense is completely different when he's not there. This would be huge for us

I agree with all your points, except the bolded. If McDaniel gets canned, he will, IMO prove to be a horrendous OC on his own. He basically brought Shanny's system with him and added speed. Once teams figured out how to limit the offense, he has had no idea how to evolve. He frequently gets locked into one mindset when calling plays and often abandons the run, despite his most dangerous offensive weapon being his RB. Not ideal when our best offensive player this year is our RB, and we tend to play more than a few games in bad weather every year. Add to that the Shannahan system he would likey run isn't really what Josh excels at. It's more designed for mediocre QBs with weaker yet accurate passing styles. Tua, Purdy, Mac Jones. Guy that get the ball out and don't go off script. That's not Allen and I frankly don't think McDaniel has the ability to tailor an offense around him.
