Bills can't afford to take on his injury history

Agreed, I dont blame an nfl RB for trying to capitalize on a good season when nfl rbs rarely last more than a few years in the league. But he's being aggressive with his social media and talking like he's needs to be paid like now. Like chill out just a little, you might catch more flies with some honey with the FO and bills mafia if you talk a little more about team and wanting a bowl mixed in with wanting a new contract. Not just all out standing on business, I dont want to be a cancer but I want 15 mill.

He hasn't come out and said he's holding out for 15. He just pinned the comment, so we will see what he actually wants but I highly doubt any team is paying 15 for a rb that plays half the snaps and is a liability at best in pass pro. And to be honest I hate diva behavior, but being an RB in the NFL is one of the worst positions in the league. He knows on average he has 2-3 more prime years without an injury and his style of running relies on his speed and acceleration. I can't blame the guy trying to take advantage of his best season while in his prime and make some money. I 100% want cook on this team, that being said.. pete carrol loves running the football, and the raiders have no one at rb with too many other holes to fill in the draft... If a pick and cook got us max crosby... Ray Davis all of a sudden doesn't sound too bad.

Agreed, from what beane has showed us, we would be missing out on guys like Elam, oliver, Rousseau, and Coleman? Give me Crosby/garret over all those guys combined.

I think mack, ty Johnson, Gilliam, Ferguson and maybe van demark are back out of that list. It's alot of names, but luckily most of those names are JAGS.

I'd agree with alot of your points but I think we have alot more "good" players than most teams in the nfl. We don't have anyone that's well below average in the nfl. Most teams have at least one guy that is straight up bad and wouldn't start on most teams. I would argue that the chiefs have several starters that wouldn't dress on the bills. But to your point, we have no super stars. And it's looking like beane is incapable of drafting super stars outside of josh (hopefully cook). So for the first time in my life I'll be advocating for the bills to make a blockbuster trade this off-season. A game changing edge rusher like Crosby (if we can make it work financially obviously). I would ship away at least 2 first rounders to get a sure thing in a Crosby or Garrett because with beanes track record, what would we be missing out on? Another Elam, Kincaid, Rousseau? Nah go ahead and take the sure thing like we did with diggs.

I'd strongly disagree with him being a top 5 manager. Is he bad? No. He's a good maybe even a great manager. But he's clearly been out drafted by the chiefs and his own words "you find out who you are when you lose in the playoffs" well for 5 years the world has seen the bills D line/ overall defense not be good enough. And it's arguably gotten worse while throwing draft picks and piles of money at it. He's had great picks, but his early picks have been huge misses, while most of the chiefs recent early picks have been home runs. Simply the production from mcduffie karlaftis creed worthy vs picks like Elam boogie coleman Rousseau Kincaid tells a story.

Agreed I'm not saying I disagree with it when the deal was done. But unfortunately the result couldn't have gone worse.

I wouldn't but i think the beane will. He paid epenesa

I think giving Rousseau an excellent is a little generous. I can see arguing either way, maybe it's just recency bias but another playoff game from our #1 pick edge rusher where he didn't make an impact. Mahomes had 2 massive first down runs on him. I can't really think of a game this year or last year for that matter off the top of my head where I thought "groot took over this game" I'd probably put benfords first 3/4s of the season in the excellent column but Rousseau is a tough one for me, him and Oliver just have way too many disappearing games to be labeled excellent. But that's me splitting hairs. Letting Chris Jones jump the snap 5 times before hard counting was inexcusable

Elams note book on the draft visit absolutely played beane and McD. And once again the chiefs master classed beane by trading up and forcing beane to panic and over draft Elam. And then draft karlaftis right after Elam. Playoff games are decided by inches, how many more inches did the chiefs get with mcduffie and karlaftis vs Elam. Or probably even worse creed vs boogie. Better coaching and better drafting will be impossible for the bills to overcome without a degree of luck.

Your not going to find a coach on the street that can out coach Andy Reid, he's the greatest big game offensive mind that's ever lived. Which leads me to where the I think the heat should be turned up. Beane. Hes had some excellent later picks, Benford, Bernard, brown, Johnson ect. And the chiefs have had some whifs like CEH. But other than cook, how much did Rousseau, Elam, boogie, Coleman, epenesa, help us tonight? Versus how much did creed, worthy, karlaftis, bolton, mcduffie help the chiefs tonight? In my opinion the bills are being out drafted and out coached. Out coaching Andy Reid is pretty much impossible, so what can you do to improve?

I'm a broken record if anyone has seen me post this before, but the von Miller signing/injury has plagued the bills massively for years. He was the "all in" chips the center of the table move that immediately had a career ending injury for a player that age. That contract and the horrible play, coupled with the other "what if" signings the bills could have had with that massive contract money has haunted and will continue to haunt this team.

Zero chance. Nor would I want too unless you can guarantee an upgrade, but what coaches that are available can walk in and for sure do better? McD is a good maybe even great coach, but your good/great coach is going against the greatest offensive mind in big games in NFL history paired with an elite QB and elite pass rusher. It's a nearly impossible team to beat in the playoffs without some amount of luck, and frankly the bills are arguably the most unlucky team in recent playoff history when it comes to key starters being healthy against the chiefs. I mean that's 2 years in a row with arguably the most important defensive players out playing a healthy chiefs. The bills won't fire McD, but they may never beat andy Reid either.

There's alot of blame on brady tonight. I think overall he had a meh game. But his OBSESSION with WR/TE screens blows my mind. The broncos, ravens, then chiefs absolutely ate those plays up. And he calls it with the game on the line. I dont understand
