Went with Ray Davis, but I think Epenesa would be in consideration if he wasn't robbed on his one sack.

Josh will probably be a legit answer every week, gave it to groot due to his timely stops when we needed them.

I feel like McDermott might use our WR Corplike our DL rotation. Two groups of 3 that will rotate every other drive. Maybe keeping them fresh gives us legs in the 4th quarter.

The only small criticism I have is now missing out on a possible 5th year option if we do take a premium paid position. Other than that, I am with you. The talent at WR falling is working for us. I am all on board with taking one at 33 and would even be OK using 60 and say two of our four 5th rd picks to move up and double up at WR.

Roscoe Parrish played 15 years too early...

I only saw it mentioned once, but perhaps we traded for a 2025 pick because when we released Tre White, we designated it as a post June 1st cut. Which means once June rolls around, we get around $10 mil in cap free. Maybe a potential trade for WR, an Aiyuk, Deebo, etc where they would take $10 mil this year but an extension would be backloaded.

All of us knew we would be cash strapped, so my realistic wishlist was to bring in Quadzilla (AJ Dillon) at a reasonable price, 1 year 3-5 mil deal. Still holding out hope.

The only way I see it happening is if Beane mandates it (or Pegula) as it could be a make or break year for McD. They can pin this year on injuries, but a lot of the contracts (like Von) have an out, or come to an end after 2024. Pipe dream I know, but it's January and I can dream, haha.

I think what might be flying under the radar, we need a legit DC. Our defenses from year to year have been solid, but with Frazier leaving and McDermy taking over this year, they just flounder in the playoffs and we are forced to score 30+ every game to win. Bring me a DC who can get the most out of our group in the playoffs.

3rd straight year I am making the 7.5 hour one way trek to Buffalo to freeze my butt off and see a Bills win. If Stevie Johnson is not the Buffalo Bill legend of the game to get the crowd pumped up, they are missing an opportunity. Go Bills!

No argument here. I just know for myself I get rose-colored glasses when thinking of our drafting, JA, Oliver etc. That I do tend to forget about the misses because we have done so well since 2018.

Beane has done well, not great, but good, I would say a B-. Let's not forget trades though. Traded for Diggs, great move, but J Jetta works of more than likely been the pick if no trade. We also traded away Teller and traded for Kelvin Benjamin. But we also got something for Cody Ford after that didn't work. I still believe in Beene, and like his track record, but he has had enough misses to take notice.

I was also at that game, and took my fiend who is a Steelers fan to his first Bills game, and even he said, it was the quietest walk out of a stadium he had ever witnessed. I thought when Jabari Greer knocked down that 2 pt conversion, we were gold.

I am really getting sick and tired of coming out and executing, and when there is the smallest hiccup, it's JA in shotgun 90% of the time. James Cook was killing it and shotgun is taking away the play-action game. Why do we insist on playing panic football every 2nd half?

If I am honest with myself, we have little to no flexibility with the cap next year. I think the injuries to Tre, Milano, etc is going to bail out McDermott and I think 2024 will be the make or break year for him. We will retain Brady as OC, Maybe 1 signing and a new #2 WR in the draft, but if we hired a new coach next year, he wouldn't be able to bring in any of "his guys". At least in 2025 we can get out of Von's contract and a few others that have outs. I am just preparing myself for 1 more year of the same.
