Ethan in Cleveland

Johnson and Hollins for sure. Ferguson is fine as a LS. Cooper I don't know. The Browns wanted to move on from him and we didn't use him. Maybe he is washed but he made some great catches for this team when he was used. Still think he can be a good #1 for a couple more years. Seems to like Buffalo and Josh like him. I'd make a play for him but perhaps let him see what his market is first. Beane has done that before. All the rest of the unrestricted can go. Gilliam was never as useless as I claimed but we have 10 draft picks. Let Gilliam walk and replace him with a 5th round FB. Will be just as good/useless and far cheaper. Morris is acceptable TE3 but not sure he is any better than a mid to late round draft prospect and again far less expensive. Anderson/Van Demark should stay.

I think Brady was poor. I still don't understand why Cooper was not featured. Allen's comments about how he accepted his role and how much he loved Cooper were interesting. Not sure what if anything to read into it. Seems like the players didn't understand either why Cooper was not getting more playing time. That said I thought going into the game they could win with a balanced run/pass mix. As the game went on and Brady refused to feature Cooper and Cook was getting huge chunks it made sense to keep running the ball. In the fourth quarter though the 1st down runs went from getting 6-10 yards to getting 1-4 yards. Their D-line was starting to take control. That's where they should have used more play action. Coleman should have never been on the field. It should have been a heavy dose of Knox, Cooper, Shakir, and Samuel on that final drive.

DT takes a long long time to develop. Carter's best role is probably backing up Oliver at 3T. Not even being active as a 3rd round pick is very disappointing but I don't really fault McD on this one. He went with veteran guys over a rookie coming off injury. Seems like it would have made sense to give him some reps against Denver and if he did ok then keep him active. But he never go the chance. The problem all year and for several years was minimal edge rush production. If they can get 6-8 sacks out of Solomon that will be more than enough to get rid of Epenesa.

As Romo pointed out they ran that 4th down play with a back-up QB two years ago. KC has not run many QB sneaks since Mahomes hurt his knee on one three or four years ago. Brady should have developed other 3rd and 1 options a long time ago. And that is not revisionist history. Many many posters on here have been calling for it for months and at least to go to the right from time to time to keep the defense honest.

Beane has to finally get the DL right. I actually trust McD will figure out the secondary. I don't think McD has a clue how to build a pass rush, as evidenced by Epenesa and PED Murphy playing valuable snaps over his tenure. Hopefully Solomon will take a step forward and be a decent situational pass rush guy. I doubt he will ever be a starter. Best bet is to mortgage the future and go get a proven star edge player. Takes too long to develop DL and picking at 30 the chances of getting a great one is low.

No I would not watch and I absolutely would not want my players risking injury for a meaningless game. Please bear in mind, I would also eliminate all Pre-season games and advocating for cancelling the ProBowl back in the 1980's.

Rather bring back Alex Van Pelt as passing game coordinator. Always felt Reich was overrated.

There are maybe 6-7 open roster spots on this entire roster. Having 10 picks is useless. They need to use those picks in trades. They need three starters on defense (Edge, CB, and S) and three reseves(Edge, DT and S). Milano looked good enough to play. Williams and Bernard should compete for MLB. Douglas, Hamlin, Epenesa, Elam, and Miller should all be kicked to the curb. Of those I would only keep Hamlin if I was forced. On offense they need one WR assuming Hollins is back. Amare could be that starter on a 3 year deal. Assuming Johnson comes back, they are set at TE, RB, OT, OG, and C. Dawkins continues to play well enough and Brown is a stud. They already have a couple back up developmental OL. At WR a healthy Samuel, Shakir, Hollins, Coleman, and Cooper are good enough to win. If not Cooper then they need to go after a high quality veteran FA. They will fill at least 3-4 of these spots in free agency. That realistically leaves maybe 2 or 3 roster spots for the draft, a 4th if you want to get a QB #3. I'd trade two #1s for Garrett or Crosby. Raiders are more desperate for draft picks. Brady saw Belichick repeatedly trade guys when he could get value for them - Richard Seymour is the obvious example here. Then draft DT, CB, Edge with the two second round picks and the third round pick. We are stuck with McD and Beane for at least one more year. We must now let hope not give way to anger and fear. Time to turn the page and start thinking how to tweak this roster.

People flamed me, but this was a PR move. Not a football move. If he was never going to play he should not have been on the PS. I get it. He was there to be a coach. Well then hire him as a defensive assistant.

He should have caught it. Go have surgery and be better next year.

It's a good question that cant really be answered. If Allen is like Cam Newton then his run is close to over. If he evolves like Elway and Roethlisberger did, then we have another 8-10 years of HOF play.

This is fair. But it is also fair to go back in time and call/praise those moves in the moment. Almost everyone wanted the Bills to take Creed Humprey. Many of us wanted to take LaPorta instead of Kincaid. Most of us had immediate concerns with Coleman. Its true many like me felt Worthy was too small.

It's not realistic, because it is not even close to how the salary cap and dead cap works God I hope not. They need to let him play out his 5th year and leave.

He had Diggs who was top 3 WR for several years. Cook is top 3 RB in the NFL. Brown is top 7 RT Milano was a top OLB until injuries Benford is probably a top 15 CB So as much as he has missed on busts like Elam and Epenesa, he has had some nice finds. His biggest failure was not getting Von Miller in 2021. Second was thinking Gabe Davis was a true #2. Hard to blame him after the 4 TD KC game. He took too long to address the o-line but seems to have gotten it correct now. He needs to make a huge trade and get a veteran pass rusher. Sitting back and drafting a guy at 30 is not going to get it done. Hoarding draft picks will also not get it done. He set himself up with cap space and picks this off season. He needs to go for broke. Diggs would say McDermott cost us multiple SuperBowls. Diggs was right about Dorsey and he was right about McDermott.

Beane is living off the fact Cleveland took Baker, the Jets took Darnold, and Denver passed on a QB. If not for Allen he would have been fired years ago. He blew up the salary cap to get rid of Diggs because Diggs was the only one to call out McD as a fraud. Now he has enough cap space and draft picks for one last shot. He can get rid of Miller and the White/Diggs contracts are off the books. Sign Allen to a massive extension and free up a ton of cap space at the same time. Stop hoarding draft picks. It's time to mortgage the future this year, because if they don't; win it all next year he has no future. Go get Myles Garrett or Max Crosby. Go get a stud WR. He's been better getting veterans than picking rookies.

Beane is as much to fault as McD. The guys that failed McD yesterday were high draft picks by Beane. Groot, Epenesa, Elam, Kincaid, Bishop, and Coleman all were garbage last night. Then however Beane corrects his mistake and gets a true WR1 and McDermott fails to use him. Beane finally fixes the O-line and then watches McD and Brady fail to keep running the ball. Beane gets two decent TE's and Brady can't design an offense that uses either of them correctly.

No way. Make him play his 5th year and let him leave. Hope he plays out his arss for a big contract and then let someone else pay him. Please move on from Epensa too.

The whole thing is just so sad...

Except every other team they faced held him to fewer points than McDermott and his defense did. So actually it is mostly coaching.

Young and inexperienced? Where do you come up with that? Only two rookies were on the field - Bishop and Coleman as WR#4. Kincaid and Torrance were the only 2nd year players to play meaningful snaps. Everyone else is a solid veteran. This is the same BS thing McDermott said in this PC.

They had a chance at Harbaugh and Belichick last season. Now sadly there are very few options left. If they wanted to really go all in - they would trade a first round pick for Sean McVay. Stafford is probably retiring and they are probably going to take a step back. Bills can win with a better offensive mind calling the plays.

Beane has got to figure out the DL. Signing Epenesa to an extension was stupid. They have got to get bigger up front on the DL. Make Rousseau play his 5th year and let him walk. He is nothing special. Draft at least 2 edge players or go get Myles Garrett. Same thing with Bernard. Training camp should be an open competition between him and Williams for MLB. I'm sure they will find a corner and safety in the FA market.

He's the perfect WR #5. Coleman wasn't even a good college WR, and he has shown very little that he can win NFL matchups. That fade route in the end-zone was laughable. Bills need a true #1. Too bad they need multiple picks to fix the defense again.

LaPorta is better. Beane pissed away a draft pick to take the wrong guy.
