I think the window will be WIDE open as long as JA is QB, and Beane is GM.
Pretty much agree-

After listening to one press conference I'm gonna belly up to the bar for my Plate Full Of Crow on Nyheim.
Just from a personal perspective, after watching only one press conference, I can see why Hines was a fan favorite in Indy.

I heard somewhere that Dean Marlowe gave up a Hail Mary that tied a game!!!! Is this true??? I listened to Beane's presser today and I didn't hear anyone ask him about it!!! And I didn't hear Beane mention it as one the factors he evaluated in whether or not to Bring Marlowe back!!! Does this mean Beane wasn't aware of it? He's our GM!!!!!! Or maybe he did know and he and just ignored it - hoping nobody had done their homework and uncovered such an important fact???
How can I trust him to build a team into a SB contender if he didn't even know about a fact this critical, or, worse, did know and is willing to put a DB on this team that has given up a Hail Mary????
Beane needs to understand that facts matter!!!!!!
I'm officially concerned....

It's clear the bills do not think Cook is ready, maybe he is having a hard time understanding all the passing concepts and option routes
According to Brandon Beane in in his presser today, they anticipate using Cook more as the season goes on....

For sure. Not to get too deep but it does bother me how divided we get about race, religion, etc. basically, there’s rich people and others. I remember a lawyer in Buffalo killed a girl after having a few drinks and got a slap on the wrist.
Yeah, don't get me started...

It’s just weird that I’ve see very important people (lawyers, politicians, doctors, educators) get held to less standards than pro athletes. I get it to an extent but it’s kinda amazing that these sauced up 20 year olds don’t get in more trouble.
You could also make an argument that star athletes often get away with behaviors that the average person wouldn't. But more to your point, I agree we certainly lack a consistency in the standards we hold people to in general.

You missed the one before. Was about moving the sticks. Watch more games and he will catch on he says no other teams qbs run more and we don't rely on him as much as I say .
Fair enough in terms of the Bills relying on more on Allen to get those yards in those critical 3rd or 4th and short situations more than other teams rely on their QBs in similar situations. Although, I think there is a legitimate argument that Hurts and Jackson are also relied upon a great deal by their respective teams in similar situations.

And here I was ready to give you the benefit of the doubt in my post above and you write another nonsensical post....

I think betting on your own team should not only be allowed but encouraged!
it’s also hilarious that we hold athletes to higher standards than regular citizens.
It is, at the very least, a perception thing and invites too many potential problems to allow athletes to bet on a sport they are participating in.
We hold people in certain professions to higher standards than the average person all the time. There are also professions where employees understand they can't engage in certain behaviors that average people do and they accept it as a condition of being employed in that profession. They are free to choose a different profession.

Facts matter.
So your entire opposition to Dean Marlowe is that he gave up a hail mary pass? It is the only fact you have mentioned. Nothing else. So, by your own criteria, you would have to be opposed to having any DB on this team that ever gave up a hail mary pass.
Facts do matter. If you are going to present one superficial stat, then be prepared to be called out on just how idiotic you sound.

You two are from different eras. He's talking fantasy football. His bottom line is the exact statistics and not the value the guy brings to a teams record. So, Mariotta might be ahead of him is his point.
This is my point. He didn't say anything close to what you are going on about. He was talking about where Allen stood in terms of rushing yards and rushing attempts, not about what QB was better.
So, while you did write a coherent thought, it literally made no sense as a reply to his post.
Think of it this way: It would be like somebody writing a post talking about Josh Allen's running stats and I replied to that post by saying my favorite color was green. It is a coherent thought, but a nonsensical reply to the post.

Reading it wasn't the problem, making any sense of the words you wrote was. It literally didn't make any sense as a response to the post you were replying to...

Come on man. Tre, Poyer, and Hyde (combined on the same play) gave up a hail mary to win a game two years ago against the Cards. It’s football. Things happen. At least Marlowe’s team didn’t lose. Personally, I love this move. Shrewd move to shore up depth.
Some posters are always looking for that cloud inside the silver lining....

Thanks, my bad.... McKissic not McKinnon
Ha! I think on this board, when referencing any player whose last name begins with McK, any spelling after McK is acceptable

Hines is what the Bills tried to get with McKinnon in free agency. Hines may be faster as well.
And Hines is almost 3 years younger than McKissic.

You can keep doing. Not just do and stop. The Bills could be fine doing nothing, but adding a key piece would still be huge. People would be going crazy if they had added CMC, Kamara, Barkely etc. Just because you are the best doesnt mean you cant get better.
A team can always get better, there isn't anyone who thinks otherwise. I find it odd that people like you accuse a man, Beane, who has built this team into the SB favorite, of stopping and doing nothing - simply because he didn't appease your wishes. Do you honestly believe Beane approached the trade deadline doing nothing?

Called an excuse. If they make a trade those same people will say how Beane is a magician and got an amazing deal. You can do both, build through the draft and signed free agents or make trades. Actually have to do both in my opinion as we have seen with Miller. That is why an addition would be huge at the deadline.
Hasn't Beane done all three? Build through the draft, sign free agents, and make trades? Why is it so "huge" to make a trade at the deadline?

Just now, C.Biscuit97 said:
Yeah, I guess that was phrased wrong. That they didn’t get the trade done. They have their price and didn’t want to go past it.
Yeah, I figured you din't mean it that way. One of the things I respect most about Beane is that he has been very clear, from the very beginning, that any decisions they make will be about what is best for this team in the present and the future. His decisions may not always work out; however, he truly tries to approach every decision from that perspective. I have no doubt he has explored every trade scenario that he thought might make this team better. If he doesn't make any trades by the deadline it will be because there weren't any that he thought would be worth pulling the trigger.
He's built a team that is the favorite to win the SB this year. He's earned my benefit of the doubt.

I’m not worried in the slightest. They didn’t really need to do anything or risk the future. However, I do get people who see all these moves being made (crazy deadline) and be a little disappointed that we didn’t try to add something to our SB contender.
we’re fine and still awesome. But if we added a speed receiver or rb, we’re all be very excited.
This is the part I don't get. How could you have watched Beane since he has been here and even remotely believe he isn't always trying to improve this roster? Not making a trade is not the same as not trying.

It's getting late, looks like Beane will have to send Moss and a 5th for a backup holder, just to appease the fanbase.
I think Beane should send Moss and a 5th to Arizona for Cody Ford.
Just for the reaction on this board.
Talk about epic...

Nothing says championship like losing a Super Bowl.....
Do you see the Josh Allen era Bills as having a "window"?

Nah, I’m just going to go ahead and believe as long as Allen is QB, the window is open…
