Trade Deadline has come and gone
HamptonBillsfan replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall
What are you in the Bills PR department? Everythings perfect,.647% winning percentage, 7 playoff appearances in 8 years,, looks like another great draft class. That’s the mindset of someone who had a bag over their head for 21/2 decades and then got arguably the best QB in generations and now is totally satisfied with making the playoffs, getting prime time games and having a spanking new stadium. Fans for longer than you,that never experienced a SB win and are frustrated that a team like KC extinguished our hopes 4 times in a row after beating them 4 times in the regular season are frustrated and expecting the organization to prioritize winning it all. Unless you’re an oblivious homer you have to admit this roster is not supporting our great QB/RB tandem after injuries or inaction opened gaping holes at receiver, D-tackle and secondary. You should send the organization a small invoice for squelching criticism by fans who know something is wrong with management. -

Don’t compare Shaheed to Moore. It’s not close. Samuel is not a member of the offense he’s either hurt or doesn’t make any plays. To get an Olave or Shaheed a high rounder or 2 over a couple of drafts is a must. With a QB like Josh a GM has to take some big swings. You remember George Allen’s Redskin teams? They never had any draft choices, they were great every year with Sonny and Billy Kilmer. I’m not saying sacrificing like that is necessary but important pieces need to be brought in when you have holes. -

Great points, why rock the boat. Let’s wait for fans with bags on their head, before looking at how the team is run. -

All these great excuses for not making a deal yet Shaheed was a perfect vertical,stretch the field guy that Seattle,who have a better receiver room than us, picked off. All these 2and 7 teams and Beane couldn’t do anything? The Jets ,who are cleaning house, would have listened to offers for Quincy Williams. Plenty of others that Beane wouldn’t pull the trigger on because giving up draft capital is out of the question. No #1 or #2 receiver on a team with Josh F-ing Allen. Pitiful. You need my opinion because all these young bucks on this board get defensive when management is questioned. I went through 2 decades of coaches and front office people stumbling around making this franchise a joke. When you draft the best QB in football, you must surround him with quality skill position players and a respectable defense. -

I’ve been a Bills fan since 65. I go to games in Jersey and Philadelphia because I live down here. My kids and grandkids are Bills fans with plenty of memorabilia and gear. What are you the arbiter of who should be a fan. I just know when fans are being taken for granted and I have the testicles to say so. -

You’re fine with no moves for a receiver,D-tackle or secondary. You’re satisfied losing to KC 4 times in a row in the playoffs. Drafts in th last 3 years have been bad. Hairston played 1/2 the snaps in one game, Hawes is a 7th round pick and a blocking TE. He looks promising but anointing him and Hairston good choices, maybe premature no. Walker looks good but Sanders and Turner are nowhere. -
Winning is great but if his decisions are bad doesn’t that make you worry that he make ruin us in the playoffs.

No Beane doesn’t, but ownership does. When fans complain on sports talk shows and on message boards,,podcasters, owners pick up on it. -
It’s a bottom line business, he missed and Mahomes was on the 40 when a pooch punt starts him inside the 15 with 5 seconds less on the clock. When you beat KC 4 times in the regular season and lose 4 times in a row in the playoffs , coaches decisions get questioned. Don’t be satisfied with losing.

The guy did nothing because the fanbase supports ineptitude. 2 years we don’t have a legitimate #1or #2 receiver. We lose 3 D_tackles long term and he does nothing. We lose our starting safety, he stands pat. I’m sorry, his drafts suck,why are we afraid of bringing in a good player for draft choices that don’t pan out. -

Just sit on your hands and do nothing,satisfied that you didn’t jeopardize draft capital. With the best arm talent QB in football we don’t have #1or #2 receiver. With your best D-tackles going down for the season, after signing 2 PED players, he does zero to fill holes. Beane is in a comfort zone with a fanbase that doesn’t really care about championships. Hey, the new stadium is coming. -

Beane is satisfied with making the playoffs with the best QB/RB tandem and not using draft capital to fill gaping holes in the roster. That’s the deal,Buffalo fans just go along with him not bringing in a #1 or #2 receiver, not bringing a better safety now that Rapp is gone and no D-tackle with Jones, Oliver and Jones out long term. He’s always in cap hell and he freezes at the prospect of making a deal involving draft choices. His drafts suck( Coleman, Sanders and Turner) all have done nothing and he keeps players, sucking up cap space longer than necessary ( Miller,Milano, Jones. Epenesa) He survives on the coattails of Josh, Cook and some O -lineman. Oh well -
It wasn’t a chip shot, it was 50 yds. You keep defending this guy’s in game decisions, how has it worked so far? He didn’t make it and Mahomes had the ball with enough time to run 4 plays from the 40.
-
Every single football talk show host and panelists agreed it was a bad gamble with the prospect of Mahomes with more time and the ball on the 40. How could you say the odds are the same starting at the.15 or the 40 with less time at the 15. There’s only time for2 plays from the 15 if a ball is thrown in the field of play.
-
Are you just trying to make believe you don’t know the difference between 85 and 60 yds out with under 20 seconds and no timeouts? That’s it for this back and forth.
-
By punting the ball inside the 15 yd line you’re using 5 or 6 seconds to down the ball. You’re gaining 25 or more yds of field position and basically making Mahomes go 85yd in under 20 seconds to score a Touchdown instead of 60 that he could get on one play from the 40. It’s not rocket science.
-
Did you win “13seconds “ , or last year when under Sean, Cook wasn’t on the field for the last 4 drives and we tushpushed our way out of the SB? You won but did you think that kicking the FG from the 40 was correct instead of pooch punting the ball in side the 15 using 5 more seconds? Augie, you’re better than that, don’t defend bad judgement.
-
I respect the man that Sean is and an incredible leader and motivator. At some point the mind numbing decisions made at crucial game ending moments has to be factored in to his future coaching this talented team. Kicking that 50 yd FG with under 30 seconds left was the only way to keep KC in the game. The downside risk was so disproportionately greater than trying to go up 2 scores with a 50 yd FG that it showed Sean learned nothing from the “13 second “ game. Mahomes had 22 seconds from the 40 yd line. After watching the 4th and 17 debauchery Sean elected to throw the dice again.

Just want emphasize the importance of being proactive. Standing pat is not an option. I can criticize Beane for not bringing a vertical guy into the season. If he does at the deadline I’ll applaud his efforts, but not some dumpster dive to preserve draft capital. We’re the favored team to win the SB in Vegas. Let’s give ourselves a fighting chance.
-
I know you can’t predict injuries in the NFL. My point is as a GM for a team favored to go to the SB, with arguably the best QB/RB tandem in football, you must make an acquisition to address positions of need. The D-tackle position has been decimated by injuries and our best players(Oliver, Jones and Hoecht) are out indefinitely. Hairston played half the snaps yesterday and was OK. Having Ingram, Tre and Lewis as depth is NG. Hairston is inexperienced and has played one game. At receiver, the roster was constructed without a #1 or #2. Our 2nd year receiver( Coleman )is basically invisible and Palmer (injured) is another slot. Shouldn’t Josh have a vertical guy to take advantage of his arm talent. The thread is “deadline trade deals” not how Beane should not be blamed for injuries that decimated the D-line. It’s not about Brady’s balanced attack, it’s about getting better with a deadline acquisition.
-
He’s in cap hell every year.Bosa’s been great, no doubt, but if I told you in the preseason our starting secondary in week 8 would include Poyer,Tre White, you’d say we’re done. Hairston looked ok in a limited role, but he’s a rookie. With Hoecht , Jones and Oliver out indefinitely a Dtackle is a must. Finally, we should unlock our MVPs unlimited potential with a vertical receiver. We haven’t had a #1 receiver since Digg’s first couple of years. Concerning the players extended, only Cook has been impactful. Rousseau had a good game against KC, Shakir is a good slot and Benford is our best corner but none have made real statements this season. Milano, Miller, Jones, Samuel should either have been traded or cut long before they ate up cap space. Only a rookie recovering from a serious injury. Let’s see him in a few more games.
-
Would you call fans who accept a GM not making needed additions to a team with Josh Allen and James Cook good fans? Don’t take this good fan/ bad fan stuff personally. We need a receiver. We need a better corner than Tre. We need depth on the D-line.
-
A lot of quality excuses but that doesn’t help the cause. Please don’t talk about overpaying or competing with other teams for players. No one cares. A GM’s job is to fill positions of need period. Accepting excuses from inept management puts you into the category of being satisfied losing every year to a team you beat in the regular season four years straight.
-
How did Roseman do adding 3 quality starters over the past 5 days?Sometimes you have to overpay your intended compensation. I don’t want to hear excuses by mesmerized fans who support management’s ineptitude. We don’t add on and these same fans will celebrate going to some home playoff games the last year before the new stadium. This is the greatest fanbase in professional sports. We shouldn’t tolerate management that doesn’t prioritize winning.
