I still don't understand why we did not call a time out to get allen back on the field instead of Trubisky. 

 

because of McD!

I honestly think Beane is a good drafter.

 

We have had two critical issues in the postseason, outside coaching..

 

Big time injuries on the defense and a fundamental lack of investment at WR. 
 

The defense will, potentially, get everyone back at some point this season. 
 

The offense can salvaged by adding a legitimate WR to this room via trade.   It would be great to have that 2 from the Diggs trade, but you can’t just throw away a season for a draft pick.

I haven’t trusted Beane in drafts since he passed on DK and AJ Brown for Cody Ford.

 

His entire resume is Josh Allen… the end.

Seriously? Milano, White, Shakir, Bernard, Ottorence (sp?), Cook, Kincaid, Knox, Dawkins. Want to go to free agents? Rasul, Hyde, Poyer, Morris. Please stop respectfully.

We aren't privy to the arrangement between Beane & McD re: roster strategy.

Aren’t we tho? Draft an undersized (another term for always at risk for injury) at LB, a rotational DE, an undersized DT, a 4th string WR, another DB, and gotta get another RB in there, because the league cares about running the ball anymore. 
 

that should sum up their roster strategy

Allen was still in the tent. You can't pop in the tent and say "how long will he be?" 

Thank you, if that is the case.  But it seemed on TV, Allen came out of the tent, before the play was run.

I’ll concede I’m sick of undersized players.

Lock Beane out of the draft war room the first 2 days of the draft from rounds 1 thru 3 which is what he struggles with the most, then allow him back in from rounds 4 thru 7 which is what he does best

I thought I heard CD say Josh was still in the tent when the Bills went onto the field. Maybe I heard him wrong or maybe he was wrong but that was what I thought he said.

You might be onto something. And when a game gets tight, take McD out.

Hyde, Poyer, Dawkins & White were on the team when Beane took the job. Extending Knox would get you fired at your job.

Just rewatched, Allen had his helmet before the play was run.

As a longtime supporter of Coach McD, my support is drying up. I would be okay with Brandon Beane staying on as GM though. There is more than enough talent on this roster, the game planning is getting sloppy and that’s the coaches fault, not Beane’s.

Quick, name 5 players on this roster who would sign top 15-20 money at their position if they were FA tomorrow. Not including Josh.

I think it depends on your definition of "good"

 

I think he's good at finding McDermott-type process guys, who fit a certain mold. Team-first. Leadership-capable. Most of his picks will go on to contribute on game day, but the impact of said contributions certainly won't jump off the page.

 

But aside from Josh, he simply hasn't drafted a single stud who can change the fortune of a game.

 

And I'm not sure how fair it is to hold that against him, being as the Aaron Donald's and Chris Jones' and Travis Kelce's of the world don't grow on trees... but in seven drafts, you'd think he'd have come up with at least ONE other player in that hemisphere of talent.

 

Because just ONE MORE player of Allen's caliber instantly changes the outcome of several games over the last seven years.

Both White and Milano weren’t even his picks, and those are the two best players of the guys you listed… So there’s that…

 

He’s found some ok players here and there, nothing really special when you take off your homer glasses, and if you throw enough darts you’re going to hit the board occasionally, but I’d hardly call any of his picks outside of Josh “bulls eyes”.

Got me there. But Cook, Kincaid, Bernard, Dawkins, Benford, Rousuue (sp?) Moss, Phillips, Edmund, T. Johnson, Levi. Come on man. He’s close to Polian. Polian didn’t have to deal with a salary cap for most of his time. But Beane is the real deal.
