  1. Eagles absolutly robbed us. They got rid of 2 useless players and got a potential all pro Cornerback that has yet to enter the prime of his career. Eagles fans are still raving about the trade. 

     

    Trade to this day makes absolutly no sense for me. There was no reason Darby should have been traded. Huge mistake by our part and I think we will realize it this year when Vonte Davis gets injured for 90% of the season and we have no quality depth to fill his spot.

    Ravens predicting shut outs and blow outs across the board.

    While I admit I'm not sure what we will look like, these fans are extremely drinking the coolaid for the first game.  Got to love it.

     

    how are they wrong?

     

    we have one of the worst rosters in the NFL, maybe bottom 3 across the board.

  3. how do ppl honestly think we win more than 4 games this season? 

     

    like do you not realize how terrible this roster is? We have maybe 2-3 guys on defense who are top NFL quality players, the rest are fringe 3rd 4th stringers. 

     

    And don't get me started on the offense. 

  4. Praying to god this front office isn't dumb enough to play Allen day 1. 

     

    That is the perfect route to ruining a potential franchise QB. Allen will get injured, ruined confidence, and set back in development. And Beane/Mcdermott will be thrown out the revolving door at one bills drive.

    Man your just full of hot takes today.  All of these trades were made for either clearing us out of cap jail or for the eventual trade up for a franchise qb.  He knows short term there would be suffering but he is looking at a long term building approach which has been long overdue for this franchise.  Slapping a band aid on the roster when he took over would have done nothing but garner more 8-8 type seasons.  Beane is looking to build a top team for many years to come.

     

    I'm sorry but how do you build a top team by trading away talented players? 

     

    Darby trade made absolutely no sense, neither did the Ragland trade. Both players were still on their rookie contracts. Watkins too. Dareus is the only trade that "cleared" cap space for the future.

    When you put it like that...

     

    I !@#$ing hated the Dareus trade, elite DTs dont grow on trees, i dont care how much of a ****head he was

     

    I would have been fine with the Darues trade had Beane not gone out and signed a bum DT to replace him. don't trade a top 10 DT and then give money to a bum.

    Unfortunately GM Whaley had alot of garbage on the roster, we purged the garbage and now were trying to fill it in until we draft/pickup the non garbage.The purge took a year, now were slowly filling in the pieces... QB- check, RB- check, WR- incomplete, OL- big need, DL- check, LB- incomplete, secondary- imcomplete, Beane and McDermott have their work cut out for them but I think they're both more than capable of handling it.

     

    Dline? LOL

     

    We had one of the best pass rushes in the league with Rex and now are ranked near dead last. Our Dline is a joke.

    Yeh I get all that sorry. Didn't read the OP well enough. 

     

    Beane and McD are doing what they know worked from Carolina. Drafting the big QB prospect and the MLB defensive anchor. It worked there and it might work here too. They need time to get it to gel but the blueprint is down there in Charlotte. 

     

    Carolina had 1 good season and make the superbowl and got crushed by a far better team. hasn't done anything before or after that season.

     

    why would we follow their blueprint.

    We are 11 million under the cap for this year.  That carries over into 2019 and gets added to our salary cap.

     

    cap space means NOTHING unless a front office knows how to use it. 

     

    Judging from past moves this current front office doesn't have the eye for talent that Whaley and his crew had. Beane is in way over his head right now. And what teams have ever been successful building their team through FA? We have so many holes on this roster its going to take multiple offseasons to fix.

    Safety

     

    QB (beyond yesterday)

     

    LB 

     

    CB (White>Darby)

     

    Cap

     

    imo

     

     

     

    CB?? Gilmore and Darby were a top 5 CB tandom, so wrong there

     

    LB?? We currently have one of the worst LB cores in the NFL. Our LB's with Rex were actually decent, wrong again

     

    Salery cap is not part of the team so not sure why you are bringing that up. Plenty of past GM's had tons of cap space, Beane has so far shown he doesn't know what to do with it. (gave a bang average DT big money)

    I really hope the message board isn't going to be flooded with these kinds of posts all season.

     

    Fans need to get it in their heads. 

    Brandon Beane didn't come in here to patch some holes and make us a Wild Card team.  He came here to completely tear-down what the previous regime did, and construct this roster piece-by-piece into a consistent championship contender.  That cannot be done in only 1-2 seasons.  (I think many fans have already forgotten that Beane didn't even come to Buffalo until May of last year, after Free Agency and the Draft were already wrapped up.)

     

    I agree that roster turnover CAN be quick in the NFL.  But a lot of that depends on what pieces are already in place.

    The cornerstones of Doug Whaley's roster were either players that Beane didn't want (Sammy Watkins, Ronald Darby, Marcel Dareus, Reggie Ragland, Cordy Glenn, Tyrod Taylor) or players that have retired this offseason (Eric Wood, Ritchie Incognito).  This is a TOTAL rebuild.

     

    Our two most important acquisitions this offseason were Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmunds.  The plan is to build the franchise around THESE TWO GUYS for the next decade.  Hopefully someday both will become regular Pro Bowlers.  But for now, the common trait is that both Allen/Edmunds were considered physical freaks, who were raw and needed LOTS of refinement before reaching their potential.  Read the scouting reports before the draft.  Neither of these guys were expected to make a tremendous impact as rookies.  There will be growing pains, and mistakes.

     

    Considering the number of players we decided to part-ways with, the two surprise retirements on the O-Line, our terrible salary cap position, and our desperation to land a franchise-QB --- it was totally unrealistic to expect Beane to fill all of our glaring holes in one offseason.  The plan in Free Agency was to be conservative in spending this year, and get the dead-money/bad contracts off the books.  Once 2019 hits, the Bills just might have the most cap space in the entire NFL to play around with.  And all of our future draft picks.

     

    Bottom line.  There needs to be an element of patience among the Bills fanbase.

    - 2018 was all about blowing up the roster and purging the unwanted pieces. 

    - 2019 is about rebuilding the foundation

    - 2020 will be about filling in those holes

     

    If we aren't competing for the AFC East by the end of next year, then we can start criticizing what Beane did right/wrong.  Until then, it's way too premature.

     

     

     

     

    Then why did Philly win the Super Bowl 2 years after doing exactly what we did? 

     

    Jaguars hired Marrone and are now a top AFC team. 

     

    The Rams were forever a 7-9 team, last year they had more success then we had in the last 20 years. 

     

    Stop giving excuses. Turnaround time in the NFL is usually around 3 years. anything more and something clearly isn't working

    Beane and McD tore down completely what was here before and there was not enough cap space because of the dead money or draft picks to make significant enough additions for this season through free agency or the draft.  

     

    that doesn't explain why he traded Darby & Ragland. they were awful trades and did more harm than good. We could have used both players last year and this year.
