Listen to Greg Cosells appearance on the Ross Tucker podcast today. He's a bit more objective on that show than he is when he's on the home town show with CB and Tasker.

 

He pretty much said what we all saw on Sunday. "Outside of Allen this team really doesn't have a lot of talent". He tipped his cap to the OL and a pretty good run game, but he said outside of that this roster doesn't have high level talent. He said it's actually quite an accomplishment they've been as successful as they have been with their talent level.

 

We need more dogs, plain and simple.  And BTW, you could tell Chris Jones was a player Beane mustve liked in the draft. Now he was taken in '16, before Beane was even here, but that was one tell I picked up on in this pressers.....he spoke about him a lot.

 

We need 2 or 3 dogs added to the defense. Can that happen in 1 offseason? Probably not, but hopefully the process can begin this offseason.....and it's one reason If be down to trade two 1sts and a 3rd for Myles Garrett. The defense would be totally transformed dripping a player of his talent onto this roster. He just turned 29, he's got a lot left in the tank.  He'd be my #1 offseason priority, it makes too much sense. And for those that say you can't fit him under the cap. BALONEY! That could easily be finagled

My question is and has been.... Why do we keep using first time OC's/DC's for a supposed SB contending team with a MVP QB in his prime. I know people are gonna say that Brady was an OC before, but he sucked at his job  with Carolina.

 

Brady was really good this year.

 

Despite having 1st year OCs and DCs this team wound up a few minutes from the Super Bowl.

 

As much as we might want to criticize the choice of 1st year Coordinators because of the end result, they could also very well be the main reasons we were as successful as we were overall this year.

I'm just tired of this regime. I appreciate what they've done but we need a new way of thinking.

We're NEVER beating KC/Cincy in the playoffs with these guys. I don't care how amazing Josh is. Terry doesn't have the stones or insight to make the moves. We already lost our opportunity at Ben Johnson.  Enjoy this same crap for the next 5-6 years.

just because your last relationship was terribly abusive doesn’t mean you need to settle for less than the best in your next 

 

Oh I see. Throwing a tantrum is "not settling for less."

 

Also, this is a bizarre take on sports fandom. Losing in the playoffs isn't abuse.

Im late to this and watching it on YouTube. I rewind it to beginning. It would be nice if they could mic up the damn questions.

 

No crap.  With all the video/audio equipment they have these days why can't we hear the questions?  For a while I tried to crank the volume up when it came to a question and turn it back down. PITA.  Then I turned on closed caption for a few minutes, then said ***** it and quit watching.

 

It sounded like maybe they had a Mic for questioners since it got really loud when the dude started coughing.

Kinda goes to show the pressure that Josh has on him. Without Josh's greatness these guys would all be gone. With Josh's greatness, a team that's 13-4 and firing their coaches looks silly even though there seems to be glaring needs for improvement in a few spots. 

I get so angry when I hear fans say Sean is the reason why we win.  Josh Allen is the reason we win. Without him, Sean would be a DC on some crap ass team.  Brandon has yet to find even one great or elite pass rusher. Their defensive scouts must really blow.

At Beane's press conference last year did you expect the Bills to jettison Diggs, Morse, Poyer, Hyde, Davis, etc.?

 

Of course you didn't, because Beane doesn't owe anyone any insight into how he's going to tweak the roster going forward.

 

Lighten up.

 

 

Nobody lies like a NFL GM.  He ain't gonna tell you what he's gonna do and tip his hand.  If anything, he's gonna tell he's doing one thing and then do another like signing Von Miller for example.

 

We'll just have to wait to see what he does unless Terry fires him first.

Preach! Sean has done a good job as far as chemistry, but I'll have whatever the Eagles and Chiefs have if it means 1, just 1 SB.

Common denominator in both pressers we are a few plays away from the narrative being completely different. 

Been hearing that same thing for years. At some point it stops being being bad luck and becomes an actual feature of your football program.

Bunch of whiny Bs in this thread...not surprising.

 

Any fan would/should be thrilled to support this franchise.  I'm sure all of the nostra-dumbasses telling Beane what he should do and say manage billion dollar enterprises and are at the top of their profession.

 

Carry on, "fans"...

 

KC fans and Philly fans are doing just fine without the Bills I think.

This is absolutely true and a big reason why I tend to defend coaching.  There’s just not a lot of high-end talent on the roster.  
 

I think McDermott, Brady, and Babich have done a very good job coaching this season.  They just need more dudes especially at WR and DE.

"We honestly believe we're right there" has been the message not only since last year, but since the decade started.

 

It's effectively replaced "Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?" as the official team mantra.

I had to remind myself that we win 11+ games every year.

I had to remind myself that we went through 20 years of Hell pre-Beane and McDermott.  Then before the Kelly years, pretty much 20-25 years before that wandering in the desert. 
 

No one has a right to anything.  No one is owed.

Well they drafted defensive tackle Jordan Davis 13th overall, and then drafted Jalen Carter 9th overall in the next draft.

 

The last time the Bills picked in the top 20 picks of the draft was 6 years ago. Eagles had more down years recently to restock the cupboards. Bills are a victim of their own success.

They were playoff teams both those years FYI.
