Other than Mario have we really been a sign superstars happy meal team?
Except for TO, no; because we have scouted like crap, drafted like crap, lousy FA signing, lousy coaching, lousy FO, and after 16 years had a "losing organization." Now the "kids" want it and they want it now or you get temper tantrums! Sorry kids, I want the process, I know you don't understand it but it is what it is!

You missed the thread where he was snapping at SDS and was basically like "who the *** is SDS".......then he realized and was hurriedly clickin' likes on SDS posts......classic.
Nope, still don't know who SDS is and don't care! SDS, give me a shout!

The Bills haven't won a playoff game since 1995.
Perhaps........lower the bar?
No, many of you want the same philosophy and template used since 1995, no rebuild, sign superstars, try and win now, accept mediocre teams , and every August spout off on how this is the year!!! Me, trying to raise the bar; I want longevity not fast food happy meals!

Laugh and smile, you really need to go sit in your room and let the adults have discussions on TBD; run along now junior! Come opening day in Buffalo, there will be a sellout crowd, most of who agree with me!

No way, the NFL experts on TBD say he is going to the Raiders!

I think it’s insanely early to say Allen is better than Carr. Carr has been a pro bowler and thrown for over 4,000 yards.
How many playoff wins does Carr have?

No this trade is proof Beane is out of his depth. AB went for a 3rd and a 5th. Beane offered to swap 1st and a 3rd for a player who must be traded. He's only here because he's friends with McDermott.
Says you and a "few" others!

No it's just people like you don't like the facts. There is proof of this being the trade all over Pittsburg. All over Steelers media.
No kidding, man you are all over it! Not disputing the trade attempt - kind of known by all - but dispute the attempt at integrating insider information cited without sourcing that attempts to make Beane look like a fool because you want something and want it now!

I don't buy the we would still be mediocre part, but I do applaud the McBeane regime for having the confidence to take on a player like AB in part because of the work they have done building up good character to this point in the Bills locker room.
Good post, but I have watched teams for years, including the Bills, pay superstars that fill stadiums nut just can't reach the playoff threshold. I want a dominant team for a decade, a team always in the playoff hunt, a perennial winner; not a season or two of arena football!

Facts are the Offense would be better with him on the team. And even at his age still producing at the best WR level.
Now if you want to argue about the new contract fine you won’t find an argument from me, because I wanted AB as long as it didn’t come with new money.
But to say he would not have improved the offense that has regressed and was historically bad last year is just naive and ill-informed.
Fair enough, we are in agreement!

2 minutes ago, MAJBobby said:
Explain how they are better in the long term without him?
now also explain to me how you have confidence in this Offense moving in the right direction. Because it has regressed in two years of this regime.
Funny thing Unlike the Fans that think we are better without him. BRANDON BEANE didn’t think so.
Pay a troubled super star for short term gain - maybe 10 years ago and he would fill seats but we would still be a mediocre team and every August gullible fans would cry this is the year. I applaud Beane for doing due diligence but also applaud that he stepped away! Building a winning organization with character, most of us have the patience!

I know not next 5 minutes. Just saying future thing to look at. Progress. Key word.
OK, now we are talking, I could not agree more; progress is needed in 2019. But throwing big money at fading superstars is not the solution!

So let’s see would AB improved a Historically BAD offense last year. Easy answer is yes.
So so now tell me how they are “Better” without him right now again?
They are better in the long term without him; I lost no sleep not getting AB, try Sominex!

This is what GMs should do. People need to quit acting crazy about a GM doing his job.
This board gets nuttier by the hour!
1 minute ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said:I'm willing to let this go as well. The bigger question is on Beane and McDermott on how he is going to make this team good again. That is the question and waiting answer for now.
Probably not going to happen in the next five minutes as you prefer so no happy meal for now; but I have confidence this team is moving in the right direction. Good luck to AB! Now let's get back to building a winning organization!

How much extra money was the tipping point for losing the locker room? Like beane could guarantee 1.33 years and add 2m per but if he did 1.75 years and 4m extra the young guys would get the wrong message?
heck, it’s basically Sammy Watkins contract. On some level if you want a passing game we are going to have to get used to seeing big numbers for guys that may have some warts on their resume.
Why’d he even start the talks then?
Why not!!!!

Am watching Carruci on Sports Talk right now. According to Vic, talks btwn Bills & Steelers began Tuesday and went on thru Thursday, at watch point Beane walked away because he didn’t feel comfortable with Brown’s contract demands. After talks fell apart, Rappaport erroneously reported that a deal was imminent - he apparently wanted to be first, rather than right. Beane would have preferred to keep it quiet, but Rappaport blew it.
Beane didn’t feel comfortable with the money demands because we’ve got a bunch of good young players here and, you bring in a guy like AB for all that money, the young guys are going to see his “me first” attitude and start acting the same way. Essentially, Brown would be a cancer in the locker room.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Brown never said he wouldn’t report to Buffalo. That was just more speculation and bad reporting. If his contract demands were met, he would have reported on time, probably with a cup of Tim Horton’s in his hand, and had wings for lunch.
I’m still glad he went with the Raiders.

Thank you for this post - finally some fact instead of the "hate McBeane" crowd spewing HS!

I know, I know.........2019 is ONLY the 20th anniversary of the last time the Bills were a contender in the AFC........but I'm impatient and dammit I am strongly considering writing the front office a letter to express my disappointment if it doesn't go well this year.
So you are holding the 20 year failure of the Buffalo Bills organization on the last two years? You are all over it and the fan of the year!
Just now, Thurman#1 said:He's a mod. And he's right, you're in the wrong here.
If you want your posts believed, back them up. If you can't, they generally won't be believed.
Right on, but facts will never play a role in many posts seen on TBD!

Already got one of those!
Zay Jones. Dude was amazing at the Senior Bowl....tested well in the draft process........and caught 200 passes per year in college.?
Every year there are 20 WR in the draft who looked good in college and great on paper leading up to the draft.
But there is a reason why there are only a handful of receivers at the elite level of Julio and AB.
The clock is ticking for McBeane.
Even if The Pegs decide to continue into a year 4 or 5 with them "The Process" still has to sell in the locker room to work and more mediocrity this year would be a kick in the nutz to processing.
Typical response!

Completely disagree. What it showed me was that Beane is WILLING to learn on the job. They would prefer a team full of soup kitchen volunteers, but they're faced with the reality that an infusion of TOP talent is needed. It also demonstrated that they're in win now mode and can't sell the process forever.
I have alot more faith in McBeane than I did before the AB situation.
Good post - no matter what McDermott and Beane do the "passing fancy fans" will not be happy; many of those screaming for instantaneous results are the same ones the threw temper tantrums throughout the failure of the last 16 years! They want reality TV condensed to a half hour SITCOM and kept very basic.

There aren't enough Brandon Beane talking points in this post. Its close, but a few more can be added.
Now, as far as this "long term sustained success" goes, I'm not sure how trying to trade for a 31 year old wr, and using 20-25% of the available cap space on him is geared toward long term sustained success.
The aborted move pretty much goes against everything these two have preached since they got here. And...it is was type of move that the much hated prior regimes had done. But THIS time it would have been different, because those regimes sucked, and these guys are smart!
Antonio Brown saved Beane from himself by saying he'd refuse to report.
Let's hope Beane learned something from the experience. He has so much learning to do, and so little time to learn it.
And not enough negative points in your post; you too must have a well placed inside source or an exclusive hotline to Beane. So many experts to offer critiques and so little time!

It's the atmosphere of this forum in particular, which is absolutely toxic.
I know many Bills fans who religiously stay away from it for that reason alone.
I think it comes from the fact that we have been a door mat franchise for most of our existence. Some fans hate that and are sick of it, others seem strangely welcoming of that fact or even embracing. You can see the two camps in the posts in this thread alone.
This creates a lot of tension. On top of that, all fans would probably like to see us win or enjoy some margin of success every once in a while, but we don't get much of that either.
So the frustration compounds and the tensions increase more.
Really silly post; no one on this board is "strangely welcoming of that fact or even embracing" losing; most of us understand that winning is not going to happen over night and will take time after 16 years of really bad organizational decisions and an ingrained losing culture. Sorry kids, you can throw temper tantrums all day and scream for your fast food happy meal much like what happened from 2001 - 2017; the rest of us want long term sustained success, understand the game and will give this regime a chance.

Throughout the 1990's, Buffalo had no problems attracting and signing quality free agents - Ted Washington, Byrce Paup, Chris Speilman; hell we signed Jim Jeffcoat from the Cowboys and paid him three million a year to rush the QB on third down. Back then, the Bills were a winner and a quality organization; why the the tear down and rebuild is taking place after 16 years of trash.

One Bills Live was hilarious today. Despite the strong and widespread reports that AB essentially nixed the trade, Murph and Tasker continued to deny it and scolded every caller who mentioned it. It was embarrassing. Damage control straight from OBD. Clearly trying to control the message. They also claimed that there is not a stigma around Buffalo despite the flogging the city took from the media and NFL players during this ordeal. Interesting that as soon as Bulldog came on, the message was totally different.
I assume this information is from your insider "bat phone" linked into the Front Office and AB's personal study?

Lol. So OBJ who has missed 16 games in last two seasons is less of an injury risk than Julio who has missed 3 games in the last 5 seasons?
The guy who has 1300 yards in the last two years is less of a concern than the guy who had 3000 in that same span?
Why don't you take a second to review the facts before you spout off on what the asking prices will be?
Unfortunately, you picked the absolute wrong time to do so.
Says you!
