100% agree!!!

Bills need WR and Edge in the worst way for 2024 but even more so for 2025. I don't hate taking a C in the first round but they can do that next year. This year getting younger better pass rush and planning for a life without Diggs is the priority.

Beane is doing a solid job getting low price one year rentals to play behind Oliver and Jones. None of these guys will make a difference other than logging some snaps. However, Beane is now free to trade down and draft WR, Edge, and Safety with first three picks. Another solid off-season by Beane with the notable exception of bringing Epenesa back.

I'm convinced Wilson is a locker room cancer. I liked Fields coming out of college and I think the Bears should have kept him, traded down, and taken Harrison. Fields in Pittsburgh is a good place to land. Both Wilson and Fields are better than any QB on the Pittsburgh roster last year and they still made the playoffs. They should still be competitive in the AFC North with either of them starting.

Congrats and best wishes. Class act!

Don't care about Christmas games. Just think football on a Wednesday is stupid.

Have to assume they meant the play clock. Ugh this is going to be interesting to see how often some replay booth guy stops a play. It will be very difficult to stop the play before it is over. These are usually less than a second decision and by the time the replay official can notify anyone the play will be over. That means a possible referral of a TD, a sack, or a turnover. It's the right thing to do and my guess is QBs will just adjust and snap with 1 sec instead of zero.

I'm sorry but a SuperBowl win with a HOF QB for a franchise that has never won a SuperBowl is the only thing I am interested in. There is no other measure of success. Now enjoyment or entertainment is different. I can enjoy the wins and making the playoffs but without a Lombardi it is not successful. And you can't have it both ways. Did Marino and the Dolphins have successful seasons losing in the playoffs all those years? Im sure no Dolphin fan would say they were successful. I would trade one SuperBowl win for a decade of not making the playoffs You may be correct. Hope McD proves me wrong or your are wrong about Pegula.

I answered yes but I have to give a caveat. I would give up multiple picks for one of the top 3 WR. I have a win at all cost mentality. With any luck next years number 1 is #32. Outside of those top 3, I agree with others. Stay put or even trade down and you can still get a quality WR.

Only a handful of coaches have HOF QBs. Shanahan is making the SuperBowl with a 7th round draft pick. McDermott can't win a division round playoff game at home two years in a row with a top 3 QB. You must see the difference. To put it another way, any of those 31 other coaches wins 9 games with Allen at QB. Many of them win the division. Some make the SuperBowl. But our HC can't beat KC at home.

Yes

Very fair take. I would have fired McDermott after the home Cincinnati loss. His players weren't ready to play. I understand he was a remarkable human being during the Hamlin crisis. But that was a month in the past at that point. And that was a season after 13 secs and still White was playing 10 yards off the LOS on a 3rd and short. I would have fired McD this year for Harbaugh or Belichick. I dont care about the injuries. His defense choked multiple games away. Josh was bad at times last year but McD defense and Special Teams lost multiple games after Josh had them won. And I will go on record, no matter what happens he has to make the SuperBowl or they need to move on from him this year.

Half those QBs you listed played in the SuperBowl and two won SuperBowls so I fail to see the point. Fair point regarding Fouts and Coryell who was ahead of his time but could not win the big game. I think if you are going to argue continuity you should argue for Cowher who lost multiple AFC Championships and SuperBowls before winning a Lombardi. He's probably the exception that proves the rule. Not an argument. Those were facts.

Fair points. All. What is your breaking point? Philadelphia had theirs with Reid. Tampa did with Dungy. Do you ever give up on him and go with someone else? Shanahan is closer to Levy with two SuperBowl appearances. McDermott should be so lucky to be in the same sentence as Shanahan at this point.

Cmon man! Plan? They threw him to the wolves after Peterman sucked. He literally sat for one half of one game. There was no plan. He had no WRs and a crap o-line that was so bad he got his elbow smashed. If you are going to defend McDermott you have to do better than that.

Lol. I'm not sinister My wife is, but I'm not

Well played. I just did 12 consults and still heading to the gym for shoulders!!!

Have you left WNY?

I admitted that. That's why I was asking what others thought

My bias against McDermott is well documented. Wondering how others view his post-season PC and recent interview calling critics narrow minded. He also stated its hard to win in the NFL. I recall a prior HC pilloried on this site for saying the exact same words. My take on the PC was that he was very defensive. Without even being asked. He launched into a defense of his tenure as coach even dating back to prior seasons. And now he calls critics narrow minded for wondering if the Bills will win a SB with him as HC. You have to belive at this point the thought has crossed Beane and Pegula's mind. He's trying to defend at best status quo to perhaps taking a step or two back from 13 seconds. Then the most ridiculous statement of all. "We're looking for Josh to really be that face of the franchise, like he's been, and continue to evolve." I mean WTF. What team has he been coaching? Does he think Hyde and Poyer were the face of the franchise?? Is he trying to lay blame on Allen? Without Allen McDermott might be coaching DBs in Kansas City. Was Allen on the field when the defense crumbled multiple times against Denver,Philadelphia, and others. KC only stopped themselves in the playoff game. If not for a goal line fumble the Bills are not even close in that game. It may not seem that I'm open minded but I really try. I've gave McDermott praise many times last year. So what does the board think? For those that crucified Jauron how do you take the It’s hard to win in the NFL line? For those that defend McDermott, what do you all think?

This is true. But it's also true he sucks.

Define awesome? My guess is he has 95 catches for 1050-1100 yards. That would be his worst as a Bill and still one of the top WR seasons in Bills history. Would be sad to see him run out of town. Don't care what others think. He is the best most complete WR in franchise history.

I like every move Beane has made wxcept bringing back Epenesa. Even with all that, I still go WR, Edge, Safety top 3 picks. Then a Punter in round 5.

Titans making some nice moves. Too bad they don't have a QB. Not great compensation for the Chiefs for a very good player.

WR and edge - doesn't matter which comes first No team drafts BPA and certainly Beane does not. Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Epenesa, Rousseau, Elam, and even Kinciad were all positions of absolute need at the time they were drafted.
