Coach Tuesday

“False start, offense, number 76, five yards and we’ll replay the down.” I might bet my life savings on that happening...

Their faces look somewhat alike. That is all.

Must HAVE

They are scrambling.

They've got to be concerned about Vontae - he seems totally out of gas.

He will set an all-time, never-to-be-broken record for pick-sixes-per-attempt. This should be interesting.

I guess it’s fair to wait and see - but either they just happened to round up a bunch of veterans who love treating August as an extended ice bath, or the Bills’ 2018 FA class is a group of corpses. Davis’s and Murphy’s bodies might just be done, and Star has yet to demonstrate an ounce of effort.

I’m sorry - has Beane landed a single quality free agent in his tenure?

Come on Pete...

Here we go

This dude...

I get what you’re saying. I could argue it both ways. There are also multiple ways to win - this certainly doesn’t keep the Bills from winning, if they use their cap and pick resources the right way going forward. I just think - once you have your QB, start stockpiling talent.

Your pro personnel dept should have told you all of that pre-trade, from their league sources and intel. Assuming they did, you don’t trade for him unless you have a plan for him, and that plan has to include more than two weeks of evaluation time. And if they didn’t have that intel, that would concern me.

I really see this so much differently than most of you. You have your QB. Passrusher is the next most important position. You have the chance to add your first blue chip player in what - two plus decades? - who also happens to be a local star whose merch will fly off the shelves. NOW is exactly the time to make a bold move like this. Still have plenty of cap room next offseason to add offensive linemen and a corner. Whereas the Corey Coleman move - trade a pick and salary for a two-week tryout of a high draft pick - is the kind of move you make when you have very few holes on the roster and you’re contending and looking for some depth for the title run... In my view Beane (and some of you) has it backwards.

So their player development department gets 2 weeks putting him through the program?

To be clear - I applaud the trade, I am disgusted with releasing him. They need his talent. He actually produced fairly well when on the field for Cleveland.

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??
