Coach Tuesday

Yes. And that one single move has been held up at the altar by Beane and the Buffalo media as proof that he’s willing to make a big splash - all that jabber about how the conditions were finally there for Beane to pull the trigger. Hasn’t done anything like it since. Meanwhile that kind of maneuver is SOP for many teams.

Beane likes to go to the Porche dealership on a Saturday morning, waste the sales’ staff time making a loud show of being interested in a brand-new sporty vehicle, then get back in his comfy 2003 Honda and drive off, patting himself on the back for not unnecessarily splurging on luxury. We do this charade every year. On the way home he’ll stop at Chipotle and overpay for guacamole just to allow himself a li’l treat and prove that he’s not cheap.

Look closer: E - P - S - N

Ford will not be on the opening day Bills roster.

Am not surprised. Just not their MO.

This thread is gonna end up touching the “are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?” thread on the other side…

What a world

Such a breath of fresh air, we never would've landed a backup DT or third-down back on the first day of free agency before JA17.

Steelers play off coverage almost exclusively right?

Seems like they're trying to upgrade their overall athleticism across the board.

Never understood why the Patriots let this guy go, they had him for a minute, he was productive, then they let him walk. He's been great everywhere he's been.

Hicks is 20x the player Star is.

Wonder if they try to poach Bates.

Holy moly they are obsessed with d-linemen.

I mean they just traded for Carson Wentz at FULL SALARY.

THERE IT IS. I just won TSW Bingo!

Reminds me of Austin Ekeler.

Perfect fit for this offense. Great signing.

Edmunds Thread Trigger Alert!

It seems like “13 Seconds” has become a Rorschach Test around here… either you think the roster had everything it needed to win that game and would’ve gone on to win the Super Bowl, so there’s nothing wrong with “running it back,” or you think they were 1-2 difference makers away from getting it done and should be aggressively trying to find that missing piece. I fall into the second category. The thing is, Beane’s post-season PC indicated he did too - he talked about needing to add speed and YAC to the offense, improving the pass rush, etc. - maybe you can find all of that later on in free agency or in the draft. Let’s hope he does. But at some point you cannot be content with just staying put, other teams are aggressively trying to improve, too, and we need to stay in the arms race to stay on top. The offense needs more weapons, the secondary needs more speed, and the pass rush needs a closer - I cannot get excited about changing out veteran DTs and guards on Day 1 of free agency. Go get the real difference-makers and let’s win this thing.

Wow I just read that they’re moving to a 3-4… so are they expecting Harry to play a traditional nose tackle role anchoring the 3-4? That is asking a lot IMO…

Yup, that’s what I’m saying. But his legacy will be measured in Lombardis and if he squanders that franchise QB’s legacy by running the team like a used car dealership on Sheridan, history won’t judge him kindly.

TBH in retrospect he maybe was not a good draft pick. Using a third-rounder on a low-ceiling 1T leads to problems because those guys are easy to find and therefore difficult to justify paying.

Beane got us a QB. The rest of his work has been Guntekustesque. Hey I just won TSW scrabble!

I’m shocked that your computer wasn’t confiscated after the last thread you started.
