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.

Beane was 100% spot on, this was one of my favorite Beane moments of his tenure...hats off to him, loved this.
Agreed. Love it. Get em.

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.

What a waste
McD and the Defense have done more to waste Josh's prime than anything else.

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?

The 2022 Eagles defense led the league in sacks with 70.
But didnt show up in the SB which they let turn into a shoot-out track meet. Then they figured it out in 2024.

Maybe. If Jones shows in camp that he has taken another step back then maybe they move on from this year, but I doubt it. Walker is a developmental prospect. I would be shocked if he is ready to play a primary role this year. He needs a year of learning technique, the NFL game, and building his body the right way.
I dont see Walker taking the top spot from Jones, but someone else on the roster can and then that makes room at the bottom for Walker.

So this guy has zero athleticism (25" vertical wtf?) and just basically stands there and gets picked in the 4th round of the NFL? All you have to do is be 6'7" 340 and the NFL will draft you and you will be a millionaire? Crazy
Folks here wanted to draft guys with that description in the 2nd. 🤷♂️

I heard the same thing about Brady, we never succeeded doing that either, and then Philadelphia showed that you can win Super Bowls just by outscoring great QBs.
Trying to just score and out-score is what lost them the previous SB against KC. They showed up this year and STOPPED Mahomes by pressuring him up the middle and every where else.

That's been the goal for five years and has never worked. At some point you have to try something different.
At some point you have to get the guys who can pull it off because its the one proven way to beat the Chiefs (TB and Philly).

Or we trade Carter for a future pick.
Moving him isnt worth the 5th or 6th rd pick we'd get for him. Especially on his cheap rookie deal.

Exactly right, their all world QB and they still don’t have that one guy to bail him out.
One more 3rd down stop by the D and we win in KC by 7-10 points. That's the issue.

If I'm not mistaken, we might be +1 to our line capacity, so someone isn't making the team, or hoping to get stashed on the IR. It'll get interesting once the suspensions are done.

Brandon Beane on WGR
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I 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".
