    This roster is a disaster however…..

    I think Beane overvalues his draft board vs. the grades given by other teams on certain players which has him consistently trading up and chasing a player and drafting for need. In the 2025 draft, he traded the team's 2 2nd rounders to Chicago for the 9th pick in the 2nd round to pick DT Sanders. He's been a serviceable rotational DT this year.

     

    The Bears used those picks on an OT, Ozzy Trapilo, and DT, Shemar Turner. A DT that graded out on par with Sanders. So in theory, staying at 24 and 30 the Bills could have filled the DT need and selected another player at another position. Only 1 other DT went in the 2nd round, at 11 to the 49ers, before the 30th pick. Its hindsight but its also a good example of the value of staying put and not spending premium picks on trade ups in the draft. 

     

    ya, i think he likes taking 'clever' risks.  it has worked from time to time, and we end up w more picks than we can roster a lot, so i see why he makes moves.

     

    tbh, i think what he did early, big giant moves to get allen, edmunds, and diggs, are the way to go.  it's what the rams do, they had no 1st round picks for like 9 years or something, and were always trying to trade up to draft specific guys they loved (like the DE they got the year before last).  they see it as go for gold, or just take who is where you pick.

    The win was great yesterday, but I have no illusions about the playoffs.  This defense is not going on the road and winning 3 straight games against good teams.  Road games are different.  Allen won't be able to be Superman in all of them and you need a few defensive 3 and outs.

     

    you are right about the road problems, but frankly it's not the d on the road, it's the O.  our d got destroyed by miami on the road, but the O turned the ball over horribly that day which led to our collapse.

     

    our biggest issue, and the reason we lost to atl, houston, and kinda miami on the road, is we just can't pass the friggen ball on the road at all.  we turn it over in desperation when teams key in on the run game.  we had a shot last year w the in season trade (maybe not a great one) to get adams instead of cooper, and we coulda signed him as a FA maybe (again, it seemed he wanted to be in LA), and reports are we balked on trading up some picks for waddle this season.  getting waddle mighta won us the game vs miami (as he killed us, and we couldn't sustain on O) and houston.  that alone puts us in a position to beat NE and be the #1 seed.

     

    the roster that we fielded vs cinci was pretty short on talent, but missing hoyt, oliver, bosa, carter, rook jackson, bernard (he sucked so far this year, but i think he's been hurt the whole time), palmer, spencer, samuels is just a bridge too far.  throw in one single game breaker at wr and i think we have 2 more wins this season, to me that's the biggest hole beane has allowed, and what make people angry is he did it by design (as shown on his smashing of wgr radio guys for talking about wr).

    It's a difficulty, but good GMs find a way to ID those players and get it done.  He's had 8 drafts + McDermott in 2017.  

     

    i'd state it as a great gm finds a way to find and get those players, but the point stands.

     

    i wonder if this is beane being "cheap" with his management of pics or something, or just his kinda fraidy cat mentality of fearing not having great depth, so he doesn't pull the trigger on getting waddle for a 1st in 2026 (+ something else im sure) or whatever.

     

    at the time i liked the trade for cooper (who i think went from a ton of talent and not so much passion for the game to less talent and not so much passion for the game) but in retrospect if he coulda gotten adams (maybe it wasn't on the table cuz adam's loves aaron) and moved cap around and not signed palmer or whatever, that woulda put us in a much much better position right now.

    The next best thing works, and that's when we go tempo after the first first down.

     

    Something to note: we still score on our first drive at an insane clip, and our d has been much better in second halves than first halves.

     

    There is a recipe in there that our coaches have touched on leading us to potential glory, frankly it's on MCD to solve the d early and pressure Brady to stick to the effective game script

    The entire team outside of a few looked like they lacked focus and energy. That’s coaching and culture.  The o line looked lazy and gassed.

     

    That's been the story on the road all year.  We won after the bye vs worthless Carolina, and over the useless jets week 2, but we have faced 5 bad road teams and lost lame uninspired games to 3 of them on the back of turnovers and bad offense.

     

    And I think you are 💯, it's because of focus and energy
