    It's pretty easy to vet your information via a credible source... or not talk about who sleeping with who if you can't.


    In theory it should be yes.  And he will be held responsible.  But can you imagine having to fill up hours every day with your own voice, and having to constantly find new and interesting topics to opine about?  If you don’t defame someone you’ll cancel yourself somehow or piss off the wrong sponsor or bigwig or all of the above… you’re just asking for trouble in that kind of business.  No one skates.

    I don't think that's a position you pay big FA dollars to, and it's a deep position in the draft. However, I would entertain taking one at #30, which would disappoint those who believe it is not a premium position worthy of a first rounder.

     

    I am not opposed to retaining our good players, though I think Bernard was an overpay, and I'm ambivalent about Groot. Where I dissent from Beane's choices is that I personally think Metcalf is a perfect plus player for the team. I would have paid the draft price to acquire him, and I also believe that he could have been fit reasonably in the cap. That is the kind of adjustment Philly makes on the regular.

     

    I was onboard with a bigger draft and cap expenditure for Garrett, but he wasn't really available.

     

    And then, the real gap in the FA spending is CB. If that means Beane feels compelled to fill that need in the first (it might be value there, it might not), that is where I foresee further disagreement. If Grant is there at #30, I prefer him to some of the supposed upper tier CBs, for instance.


    I mostly agree but not about a 1T at 30.  To me that would be the exact opposite of aiming high and taking the risk of failure.  You are 100% right that Roseman is willing to swing for the fences.  Beane - despite his hilariously wrong “Big Baller” nickname - nearly always plays it safe and hits it down the fairway and in that sense he and McD are in lockstep.  They are a risk-mitigating organization even though they otherwise operate well.  “We’ll blitz but only if we play our DBs way back just in case…”. “Make sure we have a vet in every position room because we need to keep the kids on mission in case the coaching doesn’t take.”  “We’ll move around the draft board but only if we don’t lose too many mid-round picks.”  “We’ll pay for veteran receivers but only after we buy three more vet linemen because Sean’s defense needs new old blood every year.”

     

    A one tech at 30 would be a pure safe need pick that is super unlikely to get a second contract and if they did it would likely be a bad use of cap dollars.

    Ooo you're just taking one game where Joe b played really good against us lol

     

    So I guess he's Jesus Christ thank you

     

    I never need to read another post from you again

     

    Joe B played unreal for one game versus us and now he's unstoppable till the end of time.. that's all I need to know

     

    I will now never read another post from you lol I now know where your head is in regards to McDermott and the bills


    Yipes man calm yourself.  You asked him to respond because his emojis were triggering you and he did and then his response triggered you… it’s not like he was personally attacking you he is just disagreeing just relax.  You’re a good poster having a rough night.

    He is the type of guy old school scouts love. All hustle, all effort, all power, full gas no breaks.... use every cliche going. But his pass rush is pathetic. I watched a bit of his film but abandoned it as an evaluation. If I don't think a guy is even going to be worth a 4th round grade on my board I just move on. Indicatively I thought he was a late day 3 player. 


    Shaq Lawson?

    This! I agree!

     

    Greg Rousseau wasn't the reason for this loss. Yes, the Bills didn't generate enough pass rush or pressure on Mahomes. Alas, he wasn't the biggest reason for the loss, and neither were the coaches. The biggest reason did come down to luck...that is bad luck! With starting S Taylor Rapp out you had a rookie starting at safety and the Bills best CB in Christian Benford leaving the game with a concussion.

     

    The Chiefs capitalized on the Buffalo's weakened secondary and exploited it big time. This along with the lack of pressure on Mahomes allowed Kansas City to score more points against the Bill's defense than they had all season long!!!!!!!!!!

     

    It wasn't magical coaching by the Chiefs or the failure of the Buffalo coaches as there was only so much they could do under the circumstances. There is a real reason why Kaiir "Toast" Elam is now a Dallas Cowboy. Mahomes roasted the guy right after Benford went out. A former first-round Buffalo pick at CB traded away for basically poo...


    Disagree.  The injuries were all the more reason to vary things up and break tendency.

    Ahhhhh now Erik's video last week defending Groot's dreadful performance in the AFCCG makes a lot more sense...... 

     

    Shills gotta shill. 


    Groot says he ran the plays as called and was supposed to not guess and crash inside.  So that begs the question - who was responsible for outside contain for the bootleg keeper if not him?

    All this tells me is the Chiefs are playing chess while we are playing checkers.  
     

    We should be showing the Chiefs nothing of value in the regular season, or at the very least, plan B.  Use the regular season to setup the offseason.  
     

    Even the 4th down play was the Chiefs sending a different pressure than we’d seen all game.  Meanwhile, we ran the same stuff repeatedly.   
     

    This is the difference in the games.  They are one step ahead of us. 


    One key to elite coaching is knowing the opposing team’s “rules” on offense and defense.  If you know the rules - “if we show Y they do X” - you can use that knowledge to beat them.  Elite coaches change up their rules in high leverage situations or make them too hard to discern.  Our coaches are just not elite in this regard - McD seems to fall back on “what got us here” in high leverage situations.  It may never be good enough.

  8. The top five trade up scenarios will not work for this franchise.  They have to stay financially afloat every year and a new stadium coming on line in 2026, for which they’re already well behind when it comes to PSLs.  They can’t afford in this market to truly go “all in” at the expense of future years.  Yes they can take some risks but they can’t abandon an entire draft class or two.  LA teams can afford to do it but not Buffalo.

    In fairness it happened at OL as well a fair bit. It is only the last couple of years it hasn't. I remember them signing Quintin Spain and Jon Feliciano to be their two guards and thinking "great they are both upgrades but they play totally different styles, what blocking scheme are we using?"


    Kromer has largely righted that ship though, is my point.  But yes - pro personnel evaluation and fit has always been an issue under this regime.

  10. I honestly am not sure what the OP's main point is.

     

    In any event, except for Murray who retired due to age and Harris due to injury, all of the players on that list are still in the league and most are signed for above the vet minimum.  So those aren't players who can't play - but they are players who the Bills could not for whatever reason integrate into their system.  There is some kind of disconnect between the pro personnel department and the coaching staff that has persisted throughout McBeane's tenure.  Offensive line (as the OP points out) is a notable exception - I am guessing because Kramer is clear at explaining what he wants and Beane and his lieutenants understand what to look for.  But they struggle identifying free agent fits at nearly every other position group for reasons that frankly are confounding.  It is a clear weakness of Beane and McDermott that does not seem to exist with respect to drafted rookies, whom they tend to have good plans for and a decent idea of fit/role.  Not so much for free agents for whatever reason but it's a material weakness of the organization to this day.  Something about their process does not work.

    I previously read a different in article (which may also have been from Berry) in which it was definitively stated that it WAS a Bills staff member that said they think Cooper might be cooked.

     

     

    I read the same thing, a couple weeks back.

    Lol. I just read an article on TWSN titled "New York Jets Signing Stephon Diggs." From the headline it sounded like fact and I came here because normally someone posts on TSW before I see it elsewhere. Not seeing it mentioned, I went back and actually read the article. It was total conjecture and was just saying it would be a great move.
