likei've Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So what happens now when McCoy gets tweaked for a few games this season? Banyard's backed up by whom? T. Jones? Hate this move. Hate it big time. Banyard and Will could have been a good one two punch. Now McCoy has to stay healthy.

stinky finger Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 These greenhorns are FOS. McDermott and his "earn the right to make the team" talk is hogwash. You cannot tell me that the players don't see through this BS. Every time you use "greenhorn" I imagine you sitting around a campfire donning a Yosemite Sam(my) 'stache.

YoloinOhio Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bears cut 2016 week 1 starter Jeremy Langford @joebuscaglia And just like that, another RB is available. It's the way of the NFL, guys and gals. Unfortunately, backup RBs are devalued. I loved him since his Sparty days. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky finger Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's it. I'm done with this GM and coach. The arrogance level here makes Gregg Williams look like Gandhi. The number of good young players they have ditched, while keeping guys in the last stages of their careers, or bringing in their mediocre boys from Carolina and elsewhere, is appalling. I'm expecting three to five years in the wilderness now. Opie and the Bean are nothing if not supremely sure of themselves, and they are going to take the team down with them. Disgusted. I hate when my HC and GM are confident of their abilities. Hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grb Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 After reviewing moves to me Jonathan Williams is next out door at 1BD. Played late Thursday. Kept every back but UB kid. Dallas obvious partner. This is close to the top in entertaining threads : The OP gets hammered for twenty-odd pages, then oops.......... As for the move itself, it makes no sense except that the new guy is determined to rip apart everything his predecessor did. Now that's a process we can all understand and trust, right?

Ohiostyle Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Take a team that needed luck and productivity from the draft class, and thin them even further than before. This year will no doubt be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think what's most important in all of this is the communication between Beane and the fan base. We have put up with a lot of crap for 17 years. I get the whole planning for the future thing but this isn't hockey. I don't want to watch 16 weeks of crappy football, and I can't imagine the fans who are paying hundreds if not thousands a week (or season ticket holders) who see this as a white flag moment. Beane needs to come out and explain what his thought process is when making moves like this that comes across as illogical. They need to season it in a digestible form for us fans to consume. Otherwise the relationship between management and fan base will erode quickly. There is no winner on either side if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread321 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bills fans are funny. Everyone wanted a culture change and now that it's happening, everyone wants to complain. LOL. You don't change the culture overnight, without some tough moves made first. I'm gonna sit back and give them a couple seasons to build the type of team they want.

TigerJ Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Jon Williams and Joe Banyard are clones as far as body type and running style is concerned. I would have kept Williams as he is younger, but I understand not keeping both. Taiwan Jones is a completely different RB. He's not had much NFL production as a RB, but maybe the Bills see something in him they can use as a RB, and he is a useful special teamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Poster Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This seems like the first FO/regime that doesn't value the running back position as much as the previous ones. And that makes me extremely happy. We have two FBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
