DriveFor1Outta5 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Boldin made it clear he joined the team to win a championship, as crazy as that was for some to believe. Once they made the trades he probably felt betrayed and believed since the Bills weren't doing everything In their power to win, he was out. This doesn't surprise me at all. This has everything to do with the trades. If he ever thought that Buffalo was the place to come to win a championship, the future of human rights is in bad shape.

McBean Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Or finally do what has needed to be done for years. I've found on my short time here there's 2 crowds. 1. Go all in to win this year. Doesn't matter if we make the playoffs and get curbed stomped round 1. Just win baby! Short term vision and ZERO long term vision. 2. Our camp. Build through the draft. Secure top 3 pick and take our chances on one of the big 3 coming out. Change the roster and culture here once and for all. Long term vision. It's no secret how we got here. Terrible drafts's combined with high up people ignoring the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurna Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 OBD has to be perilously close to losing the Locker room. How long before Tyrod and Shady demand to be traded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 OBD has to be perilously close to losing the Locker room. Because a Guy who balked on joining us in the first place, because he was wanting to spend more time with family, retired? Then the locker room is weak and we need to dump those so fragile. We were NOT making the playoffs this year. Personally I wish Beane had come in and told Terry, Kim and Sean I am cleaning house. Its what has needed to be done for YEARS. Right now he has to use TT and Shady this year and let them play out. They will both be gone in the offseason, Kyle will retire and take a coaching position (I hope) and we can finally clean house and build it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has everything to do with the trades. You can't be serious? If AB thought this team was going to make the playoffs this year, then he was really making a huge mistake. Trading Sammy and Darby did NOT Change our potential record at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It was only preseason but I didnt think Boldin looked that great. His quickness has suffered. I am sure he realized that the Bills were not a playoff team and decided to hang it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) The WR corps is really going to be baaaad! I wonder if management thinks Maclin would be worth 2yrs 11.5 now? But hey, if Matthews balls out they can let him walk in FA since it might cost some $ to re-sign him. I'm so salty right now.

Koko78 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Did they even request a work-out before they signed him or does an Anquan Boldin get signed on reputation alone? Maybe if they made him run a 40 they never would have signed him in the first place. Strike (2) on Beane IMHO. I am quite sure that Beane has learned his lesson. I can't imagine any scenario where Mr. Beane would want to reach strike (3) on your imaginary strike count of perceived slights. So because he now decided to retire, that changes our intentions when we signed him? Retroactive continuity is a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
