Chaos

I don't think you know what literally means. It was ok, but the average Dean Martin roast of yesteryear had far more wit.

The problem, as I understand it, from public comments of the coaching staff is that Josh scores too quickly on these drives.

This may make some sense on the surface. But if you pin a topic that people only read and don't post it, it doesn't seem like it will be particularly interesting.

But did the do enough at the WR position?

No team whose first pick is in the late 20's is flush with draft capital.

To be clear on my earlier comment I can’t imagine McDermott and Beane have any disagreements on the Bills Draft Board prior to the draft, and I doubt very much they deviate from that board during the draft. Which means McDermotts authority on player personnel is closer to equal to Beanes than subordinate to Beanes.

Brandon Beane seems to be the opposite of Billy Beane. It is impossible for me to imagine he would tell the scouts “you don’t know” Or to tell McDermott “You play the guys I pick”. Brandon Beane seems entirely collegial in his demeanor. I can’t imagine there is any disagreement among Beane and McDermott before the draft begins.

The Steelers have done enough at the QB position to get to 9-8 again.

As a rule of thumb, if the topic needs to be pinned to draw traffic, it probably isn't that interesting to the wide audience of board members. (this excludes announcements and the like) I am not sure I understand the need to designate a "topic of the day". The current system of threads rising to the top of the board based on traffic and recency seems to successfully identify the topics people are most interested in on any given day.

You seem to miss the part over and over again of not paying the big contract.

You left out “change the OC frequently “

The Bills have a their own version of Mahomes, but can’t get it done. So I guess we have nothing to cover up

This hate is misdirected.

Maybe the Bills should schedule a game in Toronto that counts as a home game for the Bills opponent.

Is there any reason the league can’t schedule the London games a few weeks later?

That is possible. It might be teams playing the second week get a bye week the week before so they have the flexibility to go over earlier to acclimate.

Actually this is a continuation of the experiment. Now that teams have witnessed the problems the Bills faced, will they do things differently than the Bills did.

AFC East is a bad division except for the Bills. Only coaching incompetence could lead to not winning the division. But the coaching staff will do enough to win the division and most people will hail this as a great feat. At this point, the expectation would be that the coaches don't know how to win playoff games against the better playoff teams, so no reason to expect 2024 season to be the season for that.

Josh doesn't struggle with decision making.

Josh is not the limiting factor on spreading the ball around. Multiple different people having the ability to get open is the limiting factor on spreading it around. If just throws for 4300 yards again this season and all of those yards to only 1 guy, I would be fine with that.

My observation was on the rare occassion Allen actually forced a ball to Diggs, it was because Josh so no one open, and played as if he thought Diggs was his best option. I would be curious to see videos or photos of plays where Allen obviously passed up an open reciever to throw to a covered Diggs.

This is a good analogy which can apply to the Bills in quite a few ways.

And then the coaches can complain Josh runs too much.

Good analysis. I have a general question on team roster building strategy. For the longest time, I defaulted to thinking that early round picks should be used for the highest cost positions (other than QB) which is edge rusher and wide receiver. Recently I have become less sure about that. I am now thinking the early round picks should be used for interior offensive linemen, safeties and tight ends. Here are the reasons: 1)longevity, those are positions which you might be able to get 10 years out of player 2) the second contract should affordable compared to the WR and Edge positions. If your drafted WR or edge becomes a star, the second contract is just as expensive as a second contract for any WR or Edge hitting free agency. 3) If you do go edge or WR with the first pick, it should be for a player with instant impact, and you simply assume you can't afford the second contract. Even if Groot is the second best on the list from that class, the gap to Parsons is a chasm. Even if Dallas loses Parsons in free agency, they got great value for the pick during the rookie contract. Its not clear to me Groot on a second contract brings any value that you could not get from other free agents at his position.

If Josh Allen is in the top 5 in passing yards again, does it matter who caught the passes for those yards. isn't the real question "which receiver will elevate their game to be a difference maker in a playoff game?"
