yeah that Dawkins - Jones hug was weird given the time left.  Our D sucked.  It needs to be re-hauled, no question.

 

But I'd like to see us still try to get a #1WR.  Amari didn't have it, unfortunately. 

I think part of the problem is everybody eats is sometimes limiting your best players. Why do both Kincaid and Knox look like they are below average when they are both in the lineup while when one is injured the other guy looks great. 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

Also think sometimes when everyone is in the lineup it could overtime be a tell for the opposing D. Patterns are gonna get caught on tape depending on who’s on the field and what formations they are used for and specifically running. Thought our O looked the best all season when Kincaid and Coleman were out of the lineup. Jmo

There is no other way to put it,the defense is what's let us down in the playoffs.

I'm 11:23 into this presser and half of it so far has been kissing the Chiefs rumps for how good they are. Twice Beane tells everyone "they're going for 3 in a row". 13:55 and we're back to giving credit to the Chiefs. 

 

Amari - we got the usual its hard to come in and pick up an offense, he got injured, he's partially here to draw attention away from the other people, "peoples expectations" that he'd be our #1 - I don't know Beane, you tell me, you watched Allen go 9/30 against the Texans and thought to make that deal, not the fans. 

 

Being "so close" - Are we that close Brandon? If you don't get the #1 seed you have to win 4 games to be a Champion. This team got 2/4. We got half way there. 

 

 

 

This team has paid the price for their lack of investment in skill position around Josh Allen. No homer fan can convince me otherwise. 

 

Beane traded for Diggs in 2020 and has stopped trying to add WRs since that point. 

 

You can see what Allen wants to do in these big games - throw the ball down the field - and time and time and time and time again he's throwing to Trent Sherfield, Duke Williams, Pat DiMarco, Mack Hollins, Gabe Davis - where are the PLAYMAKERS Beane? 

 

Year 7-8 of Josh Allen and he has zero deep threat - none - for his entire career in Buffalo. 

 

Beane is the GM when the Bills draft bust Cody Ford and pass on both AJ Brown and DK Metcalf, Beane is the GM that trades with the enemy out of the first round to draft a 4.61 WR that by all accounts CAN'T SEPARATE - and guess what??? - he can't separate from NFL corners - SHOCKER. This notion that Keon was breaking out before the injury - he had 1 catch against the Dolphins on 2 targets. 

 

Meanwhile it's a lot of Gabe Davis, Ray Ray McLoud, Justin Shorter, Khalil Shakir being asked to be your #1 WR, Marquez Stevenson, Isaiah Hodgins, Austin Proehl - all Day 3 picks representing minimal investment. 

 

Cole Beasley, John Brown, Jamison Crowder, Trent Sherfield, Emmanuel Sanders, Deonte Harty, Curtis Samuel, Isaiah McKenzie, Jake Kumerow.

 

You sit there Beane and say "a lot of teams would like to be in our shoes" - whatever man - we're halfway through Allen's career now and you have shown that you'll never get the game changing athletes that Allen wants to throw to in order to score enough to overcome McDermott's weak defensive scheme. 

 

Sorry that's 2003-2011 Cleveland Cavaliers. That's a front lawn with torn apart Camaros and Taurus SHOs. This team has a generational QB and you'll be lucky to even appear in one Super Bowl.

This is and has been the problem... further its not like we havent invested draft capital there.. they just have been ineffective...

It may be time to admit that the "everybody eats" motto was putting a happy face on a bleak situation. That's not a criticism, either; they were making the very best of a poor WR roster. Shakir and Hollins were terrific in their roles, the rest were frankly mediocre. Brady and Allen played a lousy hand brilliantly, which is why Brady drew interest as a head coach and Allen is the clear MVP.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Beane completely glossing over Keon Coleman - got asked directly at 28:30 about how Coleman and Kincaid can practically impact the game - and it's nothing but a Kevyn Adams Part 2.0 - development is non-linear and they'll just get better. 

 

For both of them its the level of athlete - Kincaid has never shown dominant TE performance at the NFL level - before or after the knee injury so that's a load of crap. He was 24 years old as a rookie, and he runs a 4.70+. He's shown he is a nice possession Tight End. WGR can hold their breaths waiting for the breakout Dalton Kincaid game. 

 

Coleman - He can most likely improve his route running, and there are track trainers that can improve his speed (look at the work Donald Driver has talked about in the past, or Christian McCaffrey), but he is an un-useable right now as a player. He runs one route and its a 40% jump ball with no separation.
