The NFL salary cap is an illusion and any cap room he needs to retain players he actually wants to retain, can be readily created. 

I hear this a lot. I'm not entirely clear on whether and to what extent it's actually true.

I presume that they're gonna convert a big chunk of Allen's money to a bonus and create room that way?

Kelsey is ridiculously annoying... He may be worse than diva Mahomes 

I'm with you. I enjoyed his wrestling promo after the Cincy game - especially because the mayor invited it. But that stuff last night was just annoying (and dumb).

He did not perform that well tonight, he's in the top tier, but tonight was not his peak. 

Outside of the fumble, he played like the 2nd best QB in the league. He was fantastic.

Mahomes is the best player in the league.

This is true. He also benefits from having an absolute evil mastermind scheming up open players.

Also, I want a sample pack of whatever they gave him at halftime. Some sort of Toradol cocktail?

No 'may be' about it.  I didn't really care who won last night, but I said before the game that I wanted him to have a bad game.  Then, of course, he gets an early touchdown.  As soon as he started screaming about how everyone said they couldn't do it (or something like that), I changed the channel.

That said, dude's got talent.  If we were to somehow acquired him (won't ever happen), he'd still be an a-hole, but he'd be our a-hole.

And Beane hasn’t done crap in five years with Allen running for his life

There are a lot of ppl who believe in Beane and I gotta say that I am not one of them. They needed line help all year and at the deadline he added a kick return specialist. They needed it in the draft and he added a press corner for a defense that refuses to use press coverage. They added another RB in the 2nd round as a pass catching safety valve for an offense that doesn't throw short EVER. They've added multiple edge players and none of them make much difference. They traded away the only good oline they drafted (Teller) for reasons or something. The drafting has been mediocre at best and downright awful at worst. They drafted a punter they had to cut because he was under investigation for literal rape. I mean, I get it Beane drafted Josh Allen but so what? That's about all he can say after the last 4 drafts. The Dawson Knox extension is perplexing at best for a guy who can't block that well and really only occasionally catches stuff. Gabe Davis is a #3 receiver with mediocre hands. All the oline brought in after Teller have been replacement level. The WR room is a mess with Stefon Diggs the only viable option game to game. The line can't block for ***** so the RB room is basically an afterthought. Safety is a major issue now with Poyer most likely gone, we saw all year how inconsistent the safety game was with only one of Poyer and Hyde back there. They drafted a LB in Bernard who they then relegated to special teams even though Nakobe Dean could of been had for a small trade up or even better drafted long before Cook was. 

Someone convince Beane is good at his job. His drafting isn't good at all and his insistence on pursuing RB is bizarre at best. Maybe he will turn it around but if they take a RB in the first 4 rounds this year, we will have the final nail in the coffin for me. Add on to that the insistence on bringing back both coordinators and the almost defiance from in during the presser that he even consider replacing them. There are just red flags piling up now and sure you can show me their record and be like "look! they were good last year" and I can say that I watched every snap and they did not look good from basically Nov on. That team peaked with the Chiefs win and then went into cruise control and the GM, did nothing.

I think this team is going to mire in mediocrity for the rest of Allen’s career.  Both the Chiefs and Bengals are set up for long term success.  Other teams are catching up to the Bills.  I think they’ll twist in the wind averaging 8-10 wins a season under this regime.

His drafts are mediocre. His day two picks are often puzzling and disappointing. Nonetheless, I'm not sure how much power he really has. I think McDermott still holds a lot of sway. Beane absolutely has to go big on improving the oline and I think adding a real WR#2 through the draft and free agency. They'll have to let some talent on D walk and coach up that side. What's the point of having a D HC if you can't manage that? I disagree on Knox, however. They're having to keep him in to bolster the terrible oline. I think he's underutilized and would have much better numbers with a better oline and gameplanning. Dorsey had better show a lot of improvement, as well, or the whole lot of them get the door.

3-4 months ago all the chatter was how the Sabres are set up to be like the Bills and it’s such a great thing.

Now the Bills decision makers are idiots and we are destined to mediocrity.

Success can be fleeting. Unless some drastic moves are made this off-season, I don’t see this team winning more than 10-11 games.  They won’t be beating up on division foes like the last 4 years.  They’ll be lucky to go .500 in division which means they’ll have to be well above .500 vs the other teams.  I don’t see it, we’ll see I suppose.

3-4 months ago, the Bills looked unstoppable. Since then, they've looked very stoppable, with no changes being made to fix it.

It is a lot easier for even mediocre receivers to get open when the offencive line can man block for 4 seconds.  Beane and McDermott have to get it through their skulking skulls that they can't keep the defence together at the expense of the offence.  The offencive line has the #1-3 needs this off-season in both free agency and at the draft.
