Coach Tuesday

I thought this might happen - was actually wondering if the Bills would be interested given his versatility and the fact that he can play the Taiwan Jones role.

"Current intentions" i.e., "if anyone else wants to make an offer, now's the time...!"

You get those gems with BADOL - did you see the bit about Anderson's sleeve length being the same as Allen's? Killed me.

$5Mx5?

I think McD is safe for sure. He's not a bad coach and seems to have a good rapport with the players. He may be young enough to adapt and he's been part of quality organizations. Beane, on the other hand, should be on shakier ground. He was hired to be McD's personnel guy - questionable enough, given that McD as a first-time coach didn't deserve to have that kind of reporting structure. And perhaps it's time to strip McD of his personnel powers, given the state of the roster - which effectively means canning his personal personnel person. That's what I would do.

He's a great player - good for the Eagles, rich getting richer.

Alright...

Good job Texans - nice to see a team orchestrating a successful rebuild. And without having to tank, no less. Amazing, I was told that was not possible.

There are things called player development programs which could address that internally, without having to expel the talented player. McD seems insecure to me.

Edmunds makes that play. But Edmunds was out, because IIRC he was concussed on a helmet-leading charge by Devlin. After Edelman had speared a Bills player with his helmet after signaling for a fair catch (for which Edelman was penalized, but not for leading with his helmet).

Zay is a replacement-level player made to look competent because of his surrounding cast. The next tackle he breaks will be the first one.

On pace for the worst ever.

You really should change your screen name.

Not true at all. Brandon Beane is the General Manager of a $1B business and has systematically run half of its personnel side into the ground in a less than two year period. By what metrics does he deserve to keep his job?

Read Shady's post-game quotes. Think he signed up for this level of ineptitude? Honestly, I should've just written, "Fire Beane: Nate Peterman is still on the roster." That alone...

Both things are true.

Seriously - I cannot fathom that so many people believe this chaos and incompetence was all part of some grand design. It's almost like dogma...

B.S. This is no "process." There is no way that this level of offensive ineptitude was PLANNED.

Read the post before responding, it might help.

The systematic dismantling of one of the Bills' highest-producing offenses in franchise history, replacing it over two years with what is shaping up to be statistically the worst offense in the modern era - an incredible feat when you consider that offenses are scoring points at a record pace - cannot go unpunished. Brandon Beane gutted the offense and has failed to draft or acquire a single quality player on that side of the ball. Not one. The 2017 WR group was the worst in the NFL - and they did absolutely nothing - NOTHING - to upgrade it. The lack of talent on offense predictably led to the highly-invested QB getting seriously injured. There is no excuse for this - none. Don't tell me they're "tanking" - no team tanks the year AFTER drafting their franchise QB. Don't tell me they have cap problems and are "rebuilding" - those problems are self-imposed, and even if they were sound decisions (which is dubious), there is no excuse for failing to even attempt to acquire playmakers during the offseason. Find some speedy gadget WRs and a James White-type scat back who can create mismatches. Find me one - ONE tight end who can BLOCK, let alone occasionally get open and catch a pass. Find me a guard who can move laterally without running into his own guys, or a right tackle who can at least attempt to execute a cut block without taking himself, and only himself, out of the play... This offense is a shambles and it absolutely positively did not have to be. No one expected this team to contend for the Super Bowl this season but fans act like there is nothing in between a Lombardi and the first overall draft pick - it just ain't so. Brandon Beane's "solutions" at WR have included trading up for Zay Jones (if you want to put that draft on him - fine with me if you don't), trading Watkins, trading for Kelvin Benjamin, trading for Jordan Matthews, trading for Corey Coleman, signing Jeremy Kerley. I would let Beane spend the day working the trade wire and, come 4:01 p.m., if the roster is not upgraded for 2019, I would fire him. Why wait? I suppose you could do the Bills-y thing and wait until Beane squanders $80M in salary cap room and 8 draft picks, but why saddle the next GM with that? Get a head start now - once the trade deadline has come and gone, there really isn't much more for the GM to do until the offseason. Now is the time to make the change. And for those of you who want to tell me that it's really McD calling the shots - fine. This will put him on notice. He has no business making personnel decisions and screw the Pegulas for their nonsensical org chart - they want to piss away their $1B business, I guess that's their right. They are clueless. If they understood accountability, they'd tell McDermott he's going to be judged based upon Juan Castillo and David Culley and the rest of the bogus offensive coaching staff that McD hired. But they probably won't. Fire Beane, do it tomorrow morning, rip the bandaid off and move forward.

If Terry Pegula has a PULSE, there will be harsh consequences for this nonsense - the fans deserve far better than the gross negligence we keep seeing on the field. We'll find out soon enough.

This offense is a war crime and the team that assembled it should be punished with their jobs. There is rebuilding - and then there is pure, American negligence.

Brandon Beane should be fired. Today.

I have a hard time blaming Daboll for this. Is he supposed to scout and draft/sign offensive linemen who can move around and not whiff on their blocks on 50% of the plays? Or if those guys are on the team, isn't Castillo to blame for the inept coaching? Brandon Beane should be fired, Juan Castillo should be fired. Daboll, I'm not so sure.

Right? You wonder what the personnel dept is being paid to do...
