It's really eye opening that the GM of a professional football team doesn't understand what complimentary football or basic strategy is.
I think "dont be the ONLY team that let the Chiefs offense score 30 points" is a good basic strategy.
Complimentary football means having a Defense that can get a stop instead of making your QB save the day at the end of the game.

I think there is large percentage of Bills fans upset we did not upgrade WR room. I think Beane feels it
He doesnt feel it. He heard you, and then pointed out how dumb you all sound. And was right.

The fact that he lost his cool defending this is very strange to me. He knows that the WR is missing a piece. He brought in Moore to cement that as fact. Compound the fact that he admitted he knows that these guys say things as a way to create their content. Even more reason to not lose your cool. Just strange
I dont think he "lost his cool". Even he sounds frustrated/animated. I think he is just comfortable being open and honest, and there was plenty of joking sarcasm in there wrapped around true statements.
He didnt make it personal. He didnt threaten to not come on anymore. He didnt threaten to have the show shut down (like Jerry Jones).
I think it was just an engaged Beane setting the record straight and issuing some decent jabs and burns along the way.
I'm sure he'll be back on Jeremy's show at the next opportunity.

When I'm 75, my 24 yr old girlfriend can say anything she wants.
Quoteshe really cut the legs off (or balls) on poor ole Bill on camera. She might be hot and a 1/3 of his age but I wouldn't but up with the sheit for long.
The other thing to remember is Bill doesnt like answering questions from the media to begin with so this is a bonus not an issue for him.

Allen is not a general managerand how many games did Allen have to win with super human plays?
Right. We have a top-scoring, high powered offense averaging over 30 points a game, and Allen still has to pull out victories with super human plays. That's a Defense issue.

That would be ideal. But often unrealistic, especially in the playoffs, against a great team.It isnt unrealistic considering the Chiefs O sucked last year, never scored more than 30 in any other game. Only scored 23 in their playoff win against the Texans and were held to only 22 in their Super Bowl loss.
Letting them score 32 and not getting off the field on plenty of 3rd down opportunities is what killed us.
For the folks pounding the table for a WR saying "we cant expect Allen to do it all himself", I'd say that quote applies even more to the Defense. How about just for once, they show up, dont get fooled by simple stuff, make a stop, and dont put it on Josh to pull another game-winning drive out of his butt.

I dont think so. His job is predicated on winning. At the end of the season either the WR room is good enough or the WR room isn’t good enough faction will be right. If the latter is, he will probably take it more seriously next offseason. As a member of the latter, I hope the former crowd is rightI think everyone, even Beane himself, would LIKE to have better WRs. We'd all like all-pros at every position.
I think Beane's point was more along the lines of "we have to address the entire team, every position on every unit, and having all pro players everywhere just isnt possible". There is a finite amount of resources they can use and spend. We know the D was the weak link last year, so they focused on shoring it up.
As Beane said (and my favorite line from this morning): "This isnt fantasy football".

I figure it this way: if we had Philly's offense from the Super Bowl, would we have beaten the Chiefs in the AFCCG? Probably not. If we had their defense? Absolutely.
Yep.
We were the ONLY team all season that the Chiefs scored over 30 points on.
They scored only 22 points against Philly. Had we held them to 22, or even 28, we win the KC game.

I don't care if he told them all the coaches are orange frogs. There is no world in which Dillon Gabriel should be picked before him in a football related activity.
I get, the kid has an arrogance and it put people off. But you can't call yourself a true meritocracy and then pick some of the bums that went before him. And I say this as someone who doesn't even particularly rate him and didn't think his film belonged in the first round.
Certainly fair points. There's just so much to it. Such a weird/interesting story.

I think there are a lot of people in the NFL who really don't look Deion and unfortunately Shedeur paid for some of that. He isn't blameless himself, sure.
I'm not sure it gets that deep. It might, I dont know. But from what I heard about Shedeur's predraft interviews, and that he was far more interested in telling teams what HE thought about THEIR organization and how HE was going to change it for them, instead of listening to what they had to say about his playing and answering questions on the board, that's enough to make any prospect fall. He got too far ahead of himself and was acting like a franchise QB when he hadnt played a professional down yet.
That type of attitude, at the QB position, aint gonna go well.
Not much need for long-time grudges or drama past that.

You mean Beane isnt foaming-at-the-mouth mad about Cooks minor social media posts and isnt trying to trade away our 2nd best Offensive weapon?
TBD hater brigade in shambles.

This really ticked me off - I thought it was incredibly mean spirited.
But, I'm inclined not to judge to harshly. I wouldn't want to be judged by my worst stuff when I was in my 20's.
You got the first part right.
Gen Z and their search for social media clout has "pranks" all wrong.
A good prank, a real prank, is one where all parties are laughing in the end.
Most of this social media "it's just a prank, bro" bs is mean-spirited punching down, or often times just straight up physical assault.

Jeff Ulbrich's kid's statement. Good lord. They're acting like they accidentally killed his dog or something.
1 hour ago, BuffaloRebound said:seriously. It was a prank call. A little perspective needed.
The issue isnt really the prank call. The issue is data security, or lack there of. The fact that someone was able to access Dad's device and get a phone number off of it opens the door to all sorts of security and responsibility questions.
Over my 25 years in the tech world, we've fired plenty of people for less/similar.
Kid is living the comfy life off of dad's million dollar pro coaching career, and he almost flushed it all over... tiktok clout.
Plus, for as much heat as Shedeur took this weekend, he's a 21 year old getting drafted into the NFL. This "kid" is a 21 yr old making prank calls from his parent's basement. Pathetic for a grown adult young man.

Every secondary slot is up for grabs except benford's (well, tbh his is too, but there are about 3 or 4 players in the NFL who have a shot at winning it).
I think they like bishop and he will work out, and I think rapp is a steady hand, so it will take something impressive to unseat him. Taron Johnson has fallen off and if this kid outplays him he will take his spot, and while mad max is the favorite to win CB2, it will be a fight.
After next season youth and cheapness will beat out vets if the race is a tie.
You arent wrong. Fingers crossed his concussions dont make that decision for us.

He's been here 7-8 years and by the time we've got to the playoffs we've had five years of being decimated by injuries
I don't use it as an excuse but I also don't think we're winning the super bowl when we've been down three four starters for most of our playoff runs
Again we had to trot out elam , one of the worst pics in the McDermott era... If we could replace him with Tre white who's now on our team
Tre doesn't get abused the way Elam did in the playoff game by Worthy .. it doesn't even matter that Tre not in his prime.. Tre will literally jam the kid into the ground into Oblivion
He's not running free for 15 yards
It takes as much luck as skill to win a super bowl and the bills have not had Lady luck side.. the Chiefs last year could have lost seven or eight games in the regular season and was winning by teams missing chip shop field goals
That's called lady luck... Something the bills have not had
And we also had multiple players from both sides of the ball talk about how the Chiefs threw stuff at them they hadnt seen before and werent ready for. Even with all the familiarity we have with them. That is coaching.
The Bills have had plenty of luck. Our turnover numbers on both Offense and Defense last year was a lot of luck. We had a bunch of calls go our way too.
Yes, good teams are lucky. But sometimes you have to make your own luck.
And it wasnt luck that kept us out. It was poor performance by the coaches and defense. Again.

McDermott has more top 10 defenses.. points per game.. yards per game.. turnovers then Steve spagnola
Sean McDermott has 14 seasons of being in the top 10 for turnovers... Spags has like 4
McDermott has like eight seasons in the top 10 for points per.. spags has like 5.. McDermott has like six seasons in the top 10 yards per game... Spags has like 7
Mind you Sean has done this as a defensive coordinator and a head coach
Nobody scheme is perfect we haven't had the ball bounce our way the way we needed it.. as much as you need skill you need a little bit of luck to win a super bowl which we have not had
And yet, he and the defense are still the main reason we havent made it to the top of the mountain. Not the Offense.
I dont care about his stats in Carolina.

We still have Shorter who only really played in 2 games in his rookie year.
I actually thought the same thing...
Just now, Clyde Smith said:Shorter is on another team as their TE.
Just now, Whites Bay said:Serious question. Is Shorter still on the squad? If so...to be honest, I feel a little better. I liked that kid.
@Stenbar, thinking of Shavers?
