Rock-A-Bye Beasley

Sounds good the way you put it, but how do you honestly think they are compared to the 31 other teams? Everyone gets the same amount of picks every year and a lot of teams can rattle off a list similar to yours. Especially if you're using the descriptor "starting" for half of them, because every team has 22 starters every year. This is the rose-colored glasses view I was talking about.

They were not a good team last year

So you give them an unlimited leash? No timeline for deconstructing a team? They traded away multiple YOUNG talented players that could be part of that 22 player core. We are the 2nd oldest team in the league this year. Shouldn't we at least be a relatively young team by now?

I'm seeing a lot of attempts at personal insults from people who disagree with the premise of this thread. I wonder why there aren't more specific attacks on the points I made?

What would it take for you to turn on either of them? I'm seriously asking.

What about McDermott's terrible in-game decisions?

Talking about what? You're the one whose reading comprehension should be called into question. This thread is about how the backlash to the negative posters is illogical. You're just adding to that. The OP only says you are wrong and have been wrong for years.

Hard to say Glenn didn't have a place on this brutal O line. Could have been an injury thing. Dareus may be overpaid I'll give you that even though it's arguable. However, couldn't they have just kept Dareus instead of paying 13.5 mil in dead cap for him and 10 mil to Star? Watkins is now the 4th receiving option on an AFC rival but would still be our best WR. It would be hard to impossible to fire them at this point, but I have very little faith especially in the coach based on his multitude of his in-game decisions which can be proven incorrect with 100% certainty. Not even including starting Peterman twice when you know he's trying to win. EDIT: I just want to add that I have a positive outlook about Josh Allen after not liking the pick. He has shown me some things and I think he might be good.

I saw your post as constructive. I'm not angry, more confused as to how anyone can have a positive outlook on this team and also criticize those who are negative. Especially considering the franchise's lack of success over the years.

Not sure what you mean by quick trigger, but they are the 2nd oldest team in the league so that's a lot of drafting. The players Beane traded were all still very young and could have been part of that core you listed.

So they're evacuating the city for a hurricane but two Bills fans went bowling?

Not sad about it. I saw it coming too. I just think it's ironic we might get the #1 pick the year after getting our QB. There's also no emotion for me regarding the team its just how it is. The emotion comes from people criticizing the negative posters who are correct and have been for as long as I can remember. Thank you, finally someone with something constructive. I'm excited about these players of course, just wish there was more around them.

All the people complaining about the negativity on this board. If just one of them had a single reason not to be negative about the coach and GM I'm willing to listen. So far all I've seen is MORE people attempting to make fun of me for complaining, which is the origin of the post.

Well I am. I threw out some serious questions I have about the coach and GM. I never said lose on purpose. Just that it's ironic we might get the #1 pick the year AFTER giving draft capital to get our QB. Thinking about it, but want to see how Allen plays.

Those of us who are negative all the time are right. We were right last year and the previous 17 years, and we are right this year. Is it a coincidence? Maybe, but everyone with rose colored glasses is has been and continues to be wrong. It's that black and white. You might say "We made the playoffs last year!" However, anyone who watched the team could tell they were completely inept on offense (and defense for a few games after trading Dareus) and had no chance at a superbowl (which is the goal of football in the NFL in case you forgot). So getting to kick a field goal in the playoffs only made us use draft capital to get the 3rd QB off the board. This draft capital was built by trading away talented YOUNG players at positions we currently desperately need help at. The above paragraph describes the BEST season the Bills have had in the past 18 years. This season it looks like they are the worst team in the league. Set up for the #1 overall pick. Which would have been great LAST YEAR. That way they could have used that draft capital on an offensive line and some WRs, and try to make the playoffs this year with their young QB. The irony is too painful to me and others on this board with half a brain. That is why we are negative. So I'm a little sick of hearing that we are being too negative after one bad game. It's not just one game. It's all the personnel moves (or lack thereof) that make no sense. It's the Jets-Chargers-Saints stretch last year. It's McDermott punting late in overtime against the Colts. It's a draw play on 3rd and 17 with a false start followed by a draw play on 3rd and 22 after the Ravens saw us attempt a draw play on 3rd and 17. It's the poor clock management, and it's the fact that despite the fact that they are in the second year of a "rebuild" they are the 2nd OLDEST team in the NFL.

Was the Ravens one of your 9 wins? So I guess 8-8 now?

Wait. Eagles run zone? But how did Darby start for them it’s not possible

Also, assuming you would have to use a 1st to get him. think of it as adding another one to trade up for a guaranteed HOF player. We did it for Watkins and Saints did it for Davenport this year.

I would've traded for Mack. Think of it as getting White, Edmunds, and Mack on your D for 4 1st round picks

Thought you were referring to Bears roster. Still bad timing for sure.

Agreed, what are the chances either of this picks are close to as good as Mack?

Bills going 0-9 at least. I thought before the season their first win could be against the bears. not anymore

Hello? are you still there?

Allen to me is looking better than anticipated in limited action. I agree with the OP, if he can have one good game with this supporting cast I don't draft a QB in the first.

I was about to post about this. They signed two FA WR and drafted one this offseason. Also drafted a guard in the second this year (Daniels from Iowa), not sure if they signed any FA for the online but their offense is looking good right now. Maybe the bilce can try to replicate that for next year.
