Sean McDermott may have been the scapegoat, but that does not mean that general manager Brandon Beane is wholly out of the fire just yet.

A lot has been made about the situation at wide receiver. And make no mistake about it, all-everything quarterback Josh Allen needed a lot more help than he got. But the real issue Beane faces – the one keeping this team from ever really getting over the hump – is figuring out how to fix the pass rush.
