Coach Tuesday

I am not saying KC will take it I’m just talking about the Bills’ formula. But yes you’re generally in a good spot for January if your line is mauling people and you can run the ball effectively even against stacked boxes. Would just really like it if Ray Davis or Ty would get going.

I would just feel way better about it if they could get one of their other running backs going. I am super worried about trying to give Cook 20-25 runs a game through January as a strategy. And slamming Shakir into the teeth of the defense over and over. They are working hard for their yards right now and relying on some smaller guys to do it. If their offense starts to break down physically like their defense has, they are in real trouble.

It would’ve been better for Beane to have just said he liked his roster and was fine to stand pat. Just grow a pair dude. To say that he tried hard but couldn’t close - especially after ranting on the radio in the offseason about how his offensive weapons were fine - it’s just so unimpressive and weak. You suck at evaluating your own roster in the offseason AND you suck at making trades? He is killing me.

Shaheed also probably wanted to go play in an offense he was familiar with - he's in a contract year, playing for his former OC helps him ensure he finishes strong and gets paid. As opposed to languishing in the Moore-Samuel mid receiver rotation waiting for Brady to call 1-2 deep shots per game.

They probably still remember the time they couldn't cover him in London. Might have dodged a bullet not landing him although, man, they really put themselves up against it AGAIN in 2025, once again at the trade deadline desperately needing outside WR help. I just do not understand the thinking process over at OBD, it's like they know it's a huge need but always find reasons not to prioritize it.

Beane has had two awful offseasons right after paying Allen and compressing the cap. Just facts.

It may actually be worse than that - they are so year to year dependent financially in this market that they cannot afford to mortgage any real future assets.

Ted Thompson 2.0 this 1000%. The greatest trick the Beanester ever pulled was convincing the world his nickname is “Big Baller.”

They are a supremely stubborn group.

They're finally gonna hit that end-around play they've been effing up all season.

One more matchup advantage (to acquire or to emerge) on offense would get it done though. As horrible as it is to even utter, I realized the other day that even Steph Diggs right now would probably put this offense over the top.

Well fine. But he would’ve been a great replacement for Hoecht.

Ravens just got the guy I wanted to replace Hoecht. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-trade-with-titans-for-edge-rusher-dremont-jones

Welp - Ravens just got him for a 5th. Would’ve been perfect.

I would’ve agreed with you but for Bishop’s play last night - he was in the exact right spot every single time last night which tells me he was perfectly prepared. Most of that is on him but some of it is definitely on Babich.
