Brandon Beane on WGR

Don’t disagree at all with what he said. It doesn’t matter how you get it done on offense, or how you score, if you set team records on that side of the ball, but have a defense that continues to bring the squad down year after year, shore up that defense.
 

Would we like an alpha #1 receiver for Josh? Sure. But that guy likely wasn’t available in the 3rd+ round anyway. Or maybe he was, time will tell. I’m more than happy with the draft’s focus on defense. Most of you overlook the fact that a better defense (I’m not talking about a #1 overall that consistently folds) will directly help Josh and the offense as well. 

 

Also, Allen did not take a beating last year waiting for things to uncover deep.

 

We were balanced and moved the ball pretty consistently against some tough defenses.

 

We also have some pretty fast receivers that we really did not unleash as well as we could last year for a variety of reasons and I think the addition of Palmer will get some of the focus off of Shakir who was drawing a lot of attention down the stretch.

I love the way BB came into the conversation. Seems like the "WR train" talk on 'gr is a constant topic. Bad radio imo. WR is not the reason the Bills have not advanced in the playoffs. The "d" has come up small year after year. I was hoping that the Bills focused heavily on strengthening that side of the ball in this draft.

 

Eagles showed the way.

Just drafting d , made necessary by all the prior wasted resources on the line ( miller , boogie, guy who left to return to sf, or Seattle guy who couldn’t touch the field here but went on to start elsewhere for examples) have prohibited getting better wr support for Josh. You let go a wr in hollins who was a huge locker room guy and your most productive wr in afc loss, and you let go coop who was seen as necessary when wr corp,was failing, and when Beane stated coop on field equaled 7 more points a game are proof the wr corp has room for improvement. 
 

also Beane is just being defensive as Josh got the mvp w lower stats because every voting expert agreed he did more with less around him and without him, the Bills never become relevant.   So we lost two relevant WRs , bring in a third wr chargers let go , and you fail to address the position until the likely irreverent 7 th round and wonder how your roster management could be just questioned ?  Oh , let’s not forget , yes you drafted the best  qb athlete perhaps ever , but what were you brought here to do?  Yep, to win a Super Bowl.  How many have you won in 8 years,,,,oh , how inconvenient for your sensitivity,,,exactly 0 with exactly 0 appearances. Had you achieved your mission statement of winning a SB just once , you would  never face criticism again in Buffalo!  Someone once said , Just do your job!  
 

He is saying the 0 was not an issue putting up 30 a game , yet what unit was on the field failing to convert as a te dropped a flailed pass with  no wr separating in the afc championship? Mcds biggest mantra, last year means nothing now , you start over every year , is more prof you keep trying to add to your talent, nothing is given that you score 30 a game this year. Yes the d was horrible , but you don’t score thirty with out 16 tds from cook in his best year and using many short , screen passes.  The wr corp is feared by no one and they all draw single coverage.  Teams like the rams, eagles, KC, all stil drafted wr talent, and the eagles added to their d strength. Thats how most franchises work.  
 

This is the beginning of Beane melting down. When you go on live radio attacking an irrelevant talking head , you are reaching new levels of insecurity based on the fact you have not yet come close to fulfilling your mission statement, winning a superbowl. It’s a fact one has to  play in one first before you can win one.   This wr corp is barely adequate , and you are wasting the prime of the best qb Buffalo has ever or probably ever will have.  It’s looking like Marino 2.0 and at best on the path of manning , elway who never won till later with better support personnel.   It’s arrogant of Beane to think his team building is above criticism with 0 SB appearances is the first crack in his armor we have seen. Pressure is on. 
 

it’s also ridiculous coming on Beane signing two ped suspensions , and then using 6/9  of your assets all to recover from mistakes you have made with the d, and using the o picks for backups and reaching in the 7 th for a wr.    Your top competitors , KC and Cincy, keep adding to offensive talent.    Look, maybe the o will be ok. I don’t think you lose a character guy like hollins and it doesn’t hurt. If that’s not a valid premise, then how did a diva attitude like Diggs require being jettisoned and eating 30 mil$ , if attitude isn’t an important ingredient?  This years schedule looks very tough. I find it hard to believe , given mcds past rookie use, that adding 6 new rookies to the d along with two PED  guys missing a third of the season , adding a talented yet oft injured bosa , suddenly makes this d along vastly improved unit. IMO, adding a true 1 wr is a simpler , easier route to continued improving ; why not try averaging 33-a game while working for d improvement?
 

 Beane confronting a talk show host is not a good look , cussing at him and acting like the o can’t improve. It’s tunnel vision type stuff and I bet  we hear from Beane his typical , wish I could take that back type statement.    I think it’s the first real sign he is feeling pressure from somewhere , why does such a confident guy give validity to a radio host? 
 

What happens if they have a weak year ( still stand on the fact the schedule looks rough just looking at opponents ), and the points scored goes down ?  Luckily they are almost given the division , but it’s getting a 1 seed most think is needed to advance to the SB.  I DONT THINK THIS OFFSEASON is on track to get there.   Every game matters , you just can’t skip the first third as if they don’t matter in the 1 seed win total.  Beane was unprofessional on air which is the only time I think he has cracked.  Why chose the wr corp , which everyone sees as minimal support for the best qb in football, to die on ?  If he loses public support , pegs may feel a need to finally turn the page if they don’t get to the SB, and maybe there finally is a feeling of the hot seat appearing.  This is a Beane outlier, may mean nothing , but one thing is certain, Allen’s career /time is ticking and it feels like he is being under appreciated.

Super balanced and efficient that’s why we had to trade for Cooper

[Since1981]

I heard Beane say, “We would have been reaching for a WR at our spot.”

 

Meanwhile, the team only led the entire NFL in scoring, averaging 31 points per game.

Yeah, what a disaster — clearly not enough offense.

 

We can debate it all day, but last I checked, the team that scores the most usually wins.

Maybe he’ll still trade for a WR, which would at least fit with his “bad ROI” comment about this draft class.

 

I still want a speed guy, but honestly, it’s hard to argue too much when you’re already putting up 31 a game.

How do you guys respond to the fact that the Bills scored more points than any other team in the league .

What did we win? It obviously wasn't enough. They've had 8 years to build a defense that can even be decent in the playoffs and haven't been able to do it. Our offense doesn't have the luxury that the Chiefs and Eagles do where their QB's can potentially have an up and down postseason and still make it or win the SB. Maybe we still need more weaponry to be able to answer the crazy ask that's being demanded of them.

Beane pointing out the obvious grand slam he hit drafting Allen and ignoring the many high pick whiffs he's had recently I think was wrong.

 

Well, considering the guys Beane was annoyed with wanted Josh Rosen over Josh Allen, it does seem like a valid point. To kind of say, you know, just because you guys have a platform, doesn't mean you know more or your opinions are more valid or that you are correct. Also, in his second post-draft interview, Beane actually mentioned Boogie and noted that they had some misses at corner (i.e., Elam, though he didn't call him out by name). Beane doesn't shy away from his mistakes. He corrects them. How many times did he say he made a mistake with letting Wyatt Teller go? Brandon is not some ego-maniac that can't admit mistakes.

 

He was basically saying, even when I have proven you guys wrong (the Josh Allen pick, having a great offense without a true #1 receiver last year), you still criticize me as if those things didn't actually go well. And when I know that if we had gone with your decisions (i.e., Josh Rosen), we wouldn't be where we are, so...

Beane demonstrating some performance theater for the fans.  Nothing more and nothing less than his schtick.   

 

Lot of people forget last year they were so set at WR after the draft he had to make a reference to working out a veteran NFL WR who turned out to be Quintez Cephus.  Then, 2 weeks later they signed MVS which indirectly acknowledged their limited WR contingent couldn't get down field.  

 

In fact, their WR plan was so good in 2024, that after Josh got his head slammed against the turf in Baltimore and going 9 for 30 at Houston Weeks 4 and 5 respectively they traded for Amari Cooper.   

 

Jeremy and Joe, despite what anyone thinks of them, have every right to question a franchise which essentially just replicated their negligent WR moves.  

 

Dude, that is so ridiculous. "Performance theater" "schtick" "stunt"

 

And the whole signing Amari as some grandiose confession that Beane screwed up last year keeps getting repeated. First of all, we were strapped for cash last year, secondly, we did draft Keon last year, third Curtis Samuel got a turf toe injury in camp. If Curtis doesn't get injured, maybe we don't go after Cooper. With Curtis injured and Coleman a rookie, yeah, it looked like we needed more help at that point (especially after the two bad losses, as you said) and before Brady had time to adapt. But, ultimately, Amari started only 4 games and played only 21% of the offensive snaps on the year, and had two touchdowns. 4/5s of the year we played without Amari and the offense still worked (2nd in the league). As to the two bad losses, they were both early in the year. Remember that going into last year, Shakir was the only receiver that had caught a pass from Josh. And it was the start of the everyone eats philosophy. So, we were a different team at the start of the year, a team in transition, a team still learning each other and figuring out their new offense, we needed time on task, guys needed to get acclimated to the system, Josh and the receivers needed to get on the same page, etc. It's not surprising we had a couple of stumbling blocks early, especially with Samuel being injured. 

 

 

7 hours ago, Mikie2times said:

are you really trying to argue that we have even a third of the weapons the Bengals do? He was a back up QB that came in and nearly led them to the playoffs. You're talking about Tyrod Taylor? Get a grip man.  

 

If we are talking overall offense, sure I'll argue it. No question, their top two receivers are studs and better than anything we have at WR. But after that, I would venture to say that the Bills are stronger at every other offensive position.

 

QB: Allen/Trubisky > Burrow/Browning

RBs: Cook/Davis/Johnson > Chase Brown (5th rounder)/Zack Moss/Samjae Perine

TEs: Kincaid/Knox/Hawes/Davidson > Geisecki/Sample/Eric All, Jr.

And then there is the offensive line. We have probably a top 5-10 O-line. The Bengals were ranked 27th last year. Joe Burrow has been the most sacked QB over the last 5 years. He was the 5th most sacked QB last year. They have Cody Ford as their starting right guard. BTW, Josh was the least sacked QB last year (of Qbs with at least 10 starts).

 

It's to Brandon's point about Fantasy Football. Sure, Burrow/Chase/Higgins looks better than Allen/Palmer/Shakir. But when you look at the complete offense (you know, real team building), the Bills are the better overall offense by far (as shown by their record 13-4 to 9-8, and by points scored 525 to 472).

If he hadn't repeatedly boxed himself into a corner at the position I might agree with you and have a little bit more faith. But as many, many others have stated this isn't the first year we're having this conversation. I don't think it is arguable that he places a lower emphasis on the position, then gets reactive to the situation he created in the first place. 

 

I think that was kind of Brandon's point. Last year, everyone bitched and moaned about the receiver position. What are we going to do without Diggs. We're going to take a step back, transition year, Josh can't do it all on his own. Then the team goes out and proves they were correct about how they handled things by being the second highest scoring team in the league and making it all the way to the Championship game with a stronger run game and an everyone eats mentality. And then this year, the conversation is all about not having enough or good enough receiving options. I can see him being like, why are we having this conversation again. Last year is actual evidence/proof that we were correct about how this offense can run, yet here we are with the same questions about WR. Most people hated or wrote off the Hollins pickup last year, and he proved to be a very important piece. Palmer is a big upgrade from Hollins, yet people act like he's just an afterthought. 

 

5 hours ago, Pete said:

The POINT is that Coleman, Samuels, Dalton, and Palmer had little to do with the Bills being the highest scoring team in 2024.  Amari and Mack played a big part in Bills scoring.  And they are gone.  MVP Josh was an alchemist.

 

To just assume that Coleman can learn to beat press coverage, that Dalton plays better than Knox, that Samuels can stay healthy, that Palmer steps up, that a stud fifth WR magically appears, and that Shakir stays healthy- that’s a lot of assumptions!

 

It is a thin line between hope and folly.

 

People think just because we led the league in scoring, we will again.  Well many  opposing teams have their sites on Bills, have studied Bill Offense,they are building game plans against us.   But we were so good on offense last year, we don’t need to evolve.  We don’t to add any talent- give all to the D. 

 

Coleman, Samuels, Dalton: 1,280 yards and 7 TDs

Amari and Mack: 675 and 7 TDs

 

As I keep pointing out, Amari Cooper only started 4 games and played a total of 21% of the offensive snaps last year (and he was injured and acclimating to a new team/QB during that). We played 4/5s of the season without him. He had 297 yards and 2 TDs. He had 6 catches for 41 yards and 0 TDs in the three playoff games. People act like Amari was our #1 and integral to the offense's success or something. He helped out in a few games, that's all.

 

And as much as I loved Mack, Palmer is definitely an upgrade to the combination of Mack (66% of snaps) and what we got from Amari (21% of snaps). Coleman should be better in his second year and past the injury. Remember, in the two games just prior to the injury, he had 170 yards and a TD. And Samuels is healthy (hopefully he can stay that way). Curtis was coming on at the end of the year and scored two TDs in the playoffs. Kincaid is going into his third year, often a jump year. And we're also returning Shakir, Knox, and all 3 RBs who are each good at catching the ball out of the backfield. Plus we added a true blocking TE, which we haven't had in a while. Even if the improvements of Palmer, Coleman, and Kincaid are small (not big jumps), there is no reason to think that this offense should regress. We are returning almost everyone and replaced Palmer for Hollins/Cooper (87% combined snap count). If Palmer plays like 70+% of the snaps and has 675 yards and 6 TDs, it will basically equal the combo of Hollins/Cooper. I don't think that is out of the question. Plus, Curtis will eat up a lot more snaps as well being healthy.

 

To the second bolded point. It's not just that we were a good offense last year, we have been the 1st or 2nd best offense every year for the last 5 years. It's Josh, it's the O-line, it's the coaches, it's the RBs, etc. Not everything depends on having the best WR room in the league. And the whole point of this offense is to be unpredictable. Many, versatile weapons that you don't know where we will attack from. Being multiple, so you can change your gameplans according to your opponents (like old NE-style). So, let opposing teams try to figure it out. There is nothing to figure out, we can adapt to your weakness and be on the attack, rather than the defense dictating, because we can hit you from so many areas and out of the same personnel groupings. Scheming guys open and letting our MVP QB make the decisions is what this offense is about in my opinion.

Did Cooper really do that much? How many TDs did he reel in?

 

Granted, I will always love his unscripted lateral back to Allen that led to a rushing score as that was pretty fun.

 

We still scored the 2nd most points across the league and I believe Allen was one of the least sacked QBs and the INTs were way down too.

 

Not a bad recipe for wins if you are not just looking for style points.

Soo good to hear his blunt words this morning, not caring that this was not what they had planned for.

 

And the fact that he called the hate dumb, as it is, and laid out why it was.

 

Beane is the most straight forward, pull no punches, blunt leader of the Bills we have had in my lifetime.  Another great quality of the man.

 

I think the reason the haters are so devastated has nothing to do with the WR thing--I think they realize this big, sharp, focused defensive swing by Beane, and McDermott too, means they are likely going to be here for years to come. 

 

Great news for the Bills fans on this forum--but rock their world devastation for the haters.

I’m so happy that these smug WGR morning show guys got what they had coming. It’s years of them just constantly beating the same points into the ground. They are absolutely clueless. It’s clear as day they never watch anything. They know almost zero about sports. They constantly say things that are factually incorrect. Anyone who watches this team knows what the issue is. It’s the defense. And unfortunately the guy responsible for coaching it.
 

All these guys do is talk about WRs. They act as if the rest of the team means nothing. We had no issues whatsoever moving the ball last season. After all the crying last offseason, you’d think all those yards and points would shut these guys up. Nah. They want a WR to come into an already packed offense and waste another roster spot on ***** we don’t need. The way they speak and just use their own half assed opinions as if it’s some proven argument it’s infuriating. I already liked Beane but watching him go on there and just own these dudes was priceless. Jeremy starting to laugh like he’s going to just throw out some bull#### but Beane just backed him right down.

Uhh this is weird. This is the kind of stuff you get from David Tepper. Bringing up Josh Rosen? This regime has been so deliberate about avoiding public drama, I really don't understand the sudden heel turn.

Because Beane is tired of hearing the same sh*t, from clueless low level radio hosts in Buffalo.

 

Honestly, anyone with 2 eyes and any football background, would side with Beane that our defense is the issue.

 

Here are key pieces of our defense, in AFCCG: Von, Quan, Phillips, Jefferson, Smoot, Rasul, Elam

 

Let's see what any of those guys contribute to a team next year --- if they even sign.  

 

This fanbase is so enamored with the Bengals WR duo, that they're blinded by how well this offense performed.  If you invest in a top tier OL and solid pieces to go with a MVP QB, good things will happen.  It's not rocket science, Beane has crushed signings/draft at OL recently.

 

I'm glad he went off, fans and media alike need a wake up call

His premise is even more flawed because Beane is touting points per game, which is a total offense stat. What % of yards and points did the WR group account for last year? Of the 3RBs, 3 TEs, and Josh Allen, did they under or overperform?

 

Disclaimer I don’t know what % is “good” but he should know, and tout it to defend his position.

That's the point...who gives a F if the production is RB/TE or Wrs.  Who cares, as long as we score.

 

You know, Palmer is a better WR than Mack or an aging Coop.  Shakir isn't at his ceiling.  Kincaid and Coleman have a TON of untapped potential, young.  Samuel was injured practically all LY and battling through.  

 

Maybe we will get unlucky with the injury bug again, or Kincaid/Coleman won't improve.  My money is on Kincaid turning into a stud this year.  Let's not act like we haven't invested in young talent - Shakir, Palmer, Kincaid, Keon, Samuel, our 3 RBs, Knox--- 1 football to go around as Beane said.  

 

When you have a top tier OL and Josh, that group listed above is certainly enough to replicate or come close to LYs performance.  Maybe we bring in another WR, like Moore, but a 600 yard receiver isn't what is holding this team back.
