DC Tom Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 One step forward, two steps back, the idiot dance... That'll happen when you have no consistency in the front office. We're the farm team for the rest of the league, and have been for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Gilmore and Darby were something solid to build on. Since drafting Dareus, up to last year, the Bills have let go - either not re-signing, or trading - every player they've picked first in the draft. Our hand was likely forced with Gilmore due to poor cap management We had 2 quality corners to build around. We now have 1. EJ Gaines is a nobody. Trading players for draft picks makes sense when they're 32 and expensive, not 23 and contended for defensive rookie of the year in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like this concept of "it's not a full tank." This is the Bills. When we're at full strength we're just below average, at best. Man I hate getting to the end of a long offseason to finally see some football then realize we can tack on another 12 months. In all seriousness, I'm praying we connect on our QB pick next year. God do we need this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) The cynic in me thinks it was very smart of them to wait until literally the day after season ticket packages are no longer sold or renewed.

Marty McFly Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If the Bills had any class they'd cut Kyle Williams and let him latch on with a playoff team. These trades, and our clear intent to rebuild through the draft make it pretty clear this team isn't going to compete for another few years while they search for and groom a young QB. Agree might as well trade KWill Shady and Tyrod too. Were gonna gut the offense? well !@#$. get all the picks you can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bomb Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 very very poor return for Sammy Watkins Sammy was a bad deal from the start, that very poor draft trade is making ppl biased. Sammy could not stay healthy, which means he's a bust IMO. At least they got something for him, it's obvious either he had no intention to resign or the Bills were unwilling to pay him.

BuffaloBaumer Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This season was dead before this anyway. Sammy was never going to re-sign so trade McCoy and call it what it really is. I just feel bad for my son and my father, I can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's going to suck to tell my nephew, he loves his Watkins jersey and has a wrap that goes around his wall with Watkins and his name on it. Kinda harsh lesson for a 7 year old when your dad and uncle turned you into a Bills fan in Boston and then your favorite player goes to LA.

I was never excited for this season, but we're now looking at a top 5 draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpile233 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't hate the moves or love them, but in either case I don't see how there's any argument against it being a tank move. At this point you should just commit to it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If they are going down this road (which many have advocated), McCoy should be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) No, we are finally competent. I absolutely love it. I was iffy on Beane and McD, now I'm officially sold. Not sure if you are serious but if you are I pretty much am of the same opinion and I dont see a big drop-off in talent if any at all, especially if Tre Davis plays like I believe he will. Tyrod still will have plenty of weapons offensively and an elite running attack. And, we'll like next years draft for sure. Just in time for the Patriots fall from the mountain.

jrober38 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If they are going down this road (which many have advocated), McCoy should be next. The next moves are trading McCoy and cutting Kyle Williams (as a sign of respect). Then accept our 4-12 fate and hire more scouts to utilize all our draft picks.

LEBills Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 maybe they felt they could get similar production from matthews, not have to pay the money, (i have no idea what his contract looks like) and grab a pick? they certainly tried to fill the holes they created. I will wait to see if we get any additional moves but I think that this is it. They thought we could be as good of a team this year by making these moves while acquiring additional assets. Now if they move McCoy, Tyrod or Dareus then the tank is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
