I feel like I say this every time you post… but stick to importing/exporting latex.

I also forgot about Brian Gaine before when Houston brought him in as GM. I think teams recognize what we're doing is generally pretty good, there's just a little bit of an order of operations to go with it. Joe Schoen was Brandon Beane's top lieutenant. He's the most logical candidate to be directly aware of our "secret sauce" and involved in just about everything. Brian Daboll vs. Leslie Frazier. We've all discussed this to exhaustion, but Daboll had full control of the offense... there's a perception that McDermott was involved with the defense. Plus Frazier failed on time before with Minnesota. I believe a year or so ago there was an article talking about how we're (possibly) the most diverse organization in football.

I mean we have 3 minority candidates in the front office that have been referred to as future GMs at one time or another. Malik Boyd, Terrance Gray and Lake Dawson. There was Leslie Frazier as well who was seen as a HC candidate. They’ve all gotten interviews. We’ve just had our non-minority candidates poached. Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen and Dan Morgan.

The first quote is in reference to the Bengals handling of their OL. How come they get a round of applause for it not being much better and having to go grab Orlando Brown? In contrast everyone here ***** about needing to sign Miller because Rousseau/Epenesa/Basham haven’t panned out.

I think you missed the point.

Soo they’re not good at drafting because they’ve drafted to fit scheme and the scheme helps players succeed which results in winning games? I don’t follow. More often than not those two realities are mutually exclusive. If you don’t draft well… it’s hard to win. So what’s going to give?

Now wait a minute… if this was Beane people would be upset. “He botched fixing the OL last year so he had to let our S tandem walk to try and fix it again.” Oddly sounds like “He botched the DL situation with Rousseau/Epenesa/Basham and had to go give Von Miller a big contract.” You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

You may be correct, but we don’t know what the future holds. Gabe Davis, Tyler Bass and Dane Jackson from 2020 are candidates to stick as contributors on a 2nd deal. Up to this point they’ve done their job as “cheap talent” supplementing veterans. Rousseau is an extension candidate down the road and has shown signs of progression. He was a good find all the way at the back end of RD1. Brown/Doyle have shown potential, enough where they will at least provide depth on the OL. Brown could still click. 2022 is actually pretty promising and another reason why I’m not quite sure why people are so down. Kaiir Elam looked great down the stretch and conceivably gets his big deal when Tre White’s is up. James Cook was productive in a limited role… hopefully Dorsey makes some adjustments. Shakir has potential and flashed it on multiple occasions. Benford looks to be a great find late and maybe even a Poyer/Hyde replacement down the line. Bernard sticks out like a sore thumb after last year… but he might be replacing Edmunds. As it stands right now… that’s 3 starters, 2 high volume rotational pieces and a ST contributor in Spector for 2023.

I keep seeing posts about all of our expensive contract and missed picks... I'm still not sure I understand. Somehow, we've sustained being a top end team for 4 years now. McDermott and Beane have been here for 6, which means they've had 6 drafts and 2 classes qualify for free agency. On paper, it's damn near impossible for them to be bad drafters and to have sustained success this long. We may not have a plethora of impact guys like we want... but it's not this colossal mess some posters are making it out to be.

Did the draft happen already? I must have missed it

Any WR that doesn’t sign with Buffalo. I don’t normally disclose my sources, but my source in this case is TBD.

Ah yes, if Josh Allen can hit him in stride. He hasn’t shown he’s capable of that. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/analysis-josh-allen-led-nfl-in-deep-passing-in-2022/article_7b4afef2-9050-11ed-922c-c3e8a2f6dfc0.html

Desert Bills Fan: Take note of the things Beane already does!

And some how that equals having the 2nd most wins in the league since 2018 (regular season and playoffs combined) Whatever it is, keep it going.

Classic example of making numbers say what you want them to.

The Saints gave him a 2nd round tender after last year that came in just shy of $4M.

Per PFF grades we played 3 top 10 QBs last year. We went 3-1. Only loss was the first Miami game.

No. We’re breaking down by strict LG and RG… mix in conference too… maybe even division. That makes him 15th out of 4 LG in the NFC East… math! Who was the guy that said he wanted to make defenders make business decisions when they go to tackle him? We should go get that guy too…

He’s played in 60/65 games in his 4 years here… that equates to a good chunk on the sidelines this year?

Graded higher than Edmunds on PFF…

Different McGovern

Didn’t we drop like 50 on Fangio’s defense the last time we played him? Has Ramsey ever contributed to a win against Buffalo? Let’s try not to sensationalize everything.

It’s ironic you’re using a quote from Ted Lasso to highlight how wins and losses matter with the human element not being important 😂

I actually think Benford will be a very good safety… but personally have a hard time moving him because he showed flashes of being an above average CB.
