Coach Tuesday

Ah here come the fascists...

Because you should be using free agency to fill holes, not the draft. The Bills’ biggest hole is talent - they have exactly one proven playmaker.

What is that, a $2.5M preseason flier? Not a good look for this GM on the same day he whiffs on a hometown hero...

Amazing. At least he had talent, unlike Zay...

And you suck at facts - they just don’t work for you.

You cannot give Beane credit for a draft that happened while he was employed by the Panthers - you just can’t.

Yet another good angle. The Bills have one huge problem in the division and it’s number 12 - Mack would have helped solve that problem. I’m telling you, the fans here aren’t ready for what is going to happen this season. Lots of folks preaching patience in this thread will be the first to start panicking after a winless September.

BEANE DID NOT DRAFT TRE WHITE What is going on here??

This team has exactly one star player who is probably in his last year here. They have massive holes along the offensive line, secondary, receiver and linebacking positions that have persisted for two offseasons. They had no problem overspending for defensive line help but the two veterans they overpaid for look like they may be out of gas. They are shaping up as a 3-4 win team this season. It’s time for this first-time GM to start showing some roster-building ability.

Whaley and his scouts identified the players based on McD’s needs and directives. Ironically Whaley wanted to draft Watson...

Here comes the sour grapes avalanche - a Bills fan tradition.

The quote was that Beane is better at drafting than prior GMs. He has had one draft. He wasn’t event hired yet in 2017. He has spent a boatload of capital on a QB, which was the right move but we don’t know if he got the right QB. Other than that he has filled zero holes on the roster. Edmunds is far from ready - can’t count him yet.

Tre and Dawkins were not drafted by Beane.

Its not “people” it’s the Bills. They use them on non-elite players who they then don’t want to pay.

Based on what?

They are trying to WIN GAMES. The Bills should consider it.

Fair enough but this is going to be a long season - not sure the fans are ready for it. Beane gets through the next offseason to show progress.

We have been chasing contender status for what, two and a half decades? At some point you need to accumulate talent and try to win games.

Twice we let him get away...

That would be my best offer as well - possibly throw in a 5th or 6th somewhere too. You’re right that the jersey and merch sales would partially offset the contract price.

Good god that’s expensive.

Sal Carpaccio reporting the raw facts! Though methinks he's slicing his story a bit too thinly...

Correct. The Jets are another real possibility. What you are paying for is a player that the offense has to account for and scheme around on every single play - something we haven't really had here since #78 retired.

Also every year it’s the same damn colors.

We should have a separate forum for the “media bias” obsession threads.
