I'm really jealous of what Beane has done in Buffalo

The Bills have not only drafted well but also added players at reasonable amounts to make their team extremely balanced. Richardson had a chance to make this man our GM. Instead he hired the two worst GMs in the league. Hopefully Tepper will get his head out of his ass and fire a bunch of people in the FO. Our personal department absolutely sucks.

It's as much McDermott as it is Beane.

His first season there, he put together a kick ass coaching staff that made me jealous. They've evolved some since then but are still looking pretty good.

McDermott has done awesome like I knew he would. He was a great hire by Hurney who brought him in after Rivera couldn't get Wilks who was a way worse DC. Still Beane has kept the cap managed and found great players in areas that isn't McDermotts area. They will win a SB you can just see it.

We all should be. They basically took everything we did right and refined it while getting rid of the BS. They are what we should be. Good for them. LOL @ us. As John Fox would say, it is what it is.

Well it just goes to show how much of a trash organization we are. We picked Gentleman over a franchise GM. I mean we replaced trash with more trash only to go back to the trashcan when we needed a new GM. Like just how terrible are we. Even Tepper should see that but nope.

The Pegulas bought the Bills in 2014. For the next three years, they ran a dysfunctional organization. The learning curve of a new NFL owner proved quite steep. Then they hired McDermott and Beane.

They also made the right choice for their QB in a 2018 draft loaded with QBs. They raised eyebrows with the selection of Allen who was considered more raw and more of a project than other QBs.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
