Jon in Pasadena Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 ...I ready your book.. We have the GEN Patton of GMs. If Beane's the magnificent bastard, wouldn't that make him Erwin Rommel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If Beane's the magnificent bastard, wouldn't that make him Erwin Rommel? Patton read Rommel's book, and exclaimed after a victory in the desert to the effect "I read your book, you magnificent bastard" ..to Rommel. So Rommel is the Mag Bastard, Beane is GEN Patton. Yes? In any event, an awesome trade. Hadn't seen anything like it since the 3-way trade which brought Cornelius Bennett to Bflo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 McBeane...welcome to Buffalo! keep this up and there will be a statue in front of the new stadium with TRUST THE PROCESS stamped on it best part is that this is just the beginning...i have a feeling we haven't seen nothing yet with the kind of shrewd moves Beane is gonna be a part of.

PromoTheRobot Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Somewhere, someone on this board is thinking exactly this! Jerry Sullivan and/or Bucky Gleason. In fact they are doing rock-paper-scissors to see who gets to write the hatchet piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Everyone is missing the big picture here. Beane said no more moves today and yet he traded for a stud #1 WR. HE LIED TO US! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsner Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Ok, maybe we now have the equivalent of Rommel (Desert Fox) and Patton (ol' Blood and Guts) mentality in charge. Efficiency, making the most of your resources, keeping morale high, hitting hard (and perhaps eventually hitting where not to be expected). I suppose the trade for Benjamin could relate to this (unexpected). This is year 1. Year 1 is almost at the halfway point and there is still a way to go. I have seen a lot over the years and I'm cautiously optimistic. So far (lately) I'm liking what I'm seeing. We are long overdue. There's a lot more football to be seen. Our Rommel and Patton will be busy. We shall see... how things develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfansinceday1 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I haven't read the entire thread but it seems that Beane has a problem with veracity. A very good trait to have as a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 @SalSports Bills GM Brandon Beane, asked about trade deadline as he was walking off practice field, said to a few media members: never say never. If someone calls and gives me an offer I like Ill listen. But nothing is in the works. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 HAHAHAHA YOUR TAKES ARE MY FAVORITE. Like Trevor Siemian being the next Joe Montana. I haven't read the entire thread but it seems that Beane has a problem with veracity. A very good trait to have as a GM. Not exactly. The deal discussion with the Panthers started late and was finalized just three minutes before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how McBeane was so pleased with Dareus' play they shopped him for 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the dumbest takes I've ever seen on TSW. Edited November 2, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the dumbest takes I've ever see on TSW. Good thing I never said that silly. However, YOUR takes will always live in infamy. The No Shoulder Surgery. The Dareus Is Fine. The Beane Said No Trades. I'm sure there's some I'm forgetting. You're really making it hard on a guy like me to remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said Siemian had a higher ceiling than Tyrod and could be the next Joe Montana. Don't try to run from your ridiculously bad and laughable take. Own it. Your list of what I said is not only inaccurate, but also weak with regard to any infamy around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't call him Joe Montana part two lol. Not only did you prove yourself a liar, you refuse to own your hysterical takes. Tell me how there's nothing to see about Dareus. Beane was only trying to jettison him since August and was replacing him with Cedric Thornton. Edited November 2, 2017 by jmc12290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane was only trying to jettison him since August and was replacing him with Cedric Thornton. Your take about him having any possibility at all of being Montana like is ridiculous nonetheless. A QB who's been benched for the great Brock Osweiler. My thought on Dareus was that no team was taking on his albatross contract. You want to call that infamy, then be my guest.

BringBackOrton Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) 12 points surrendered on 214 total yards and 11 first downs. Dareus was terrible. Your take about him having any possibility at all of being Montana like is ridiculous nonetheless. A QB who's been benched for the great Brock Osweiler. My thought on Dareus was that no team was taking on his albatross contract. You want to call that infamy, then be my guest. Well it was that and he was playing fine. Shopped since August and tossed for a basement pick My favorite part about TBD is the takes exist forever!

Shopped since August and tossed for a basement pick My favorite part about TBD is the takes exist forever! In the season opener against the Jets with those numbers? Is that the best you have? Why am I forgetting you're the master of inane arguments even when you have no point. Trevor Siemian? You actually watched him play and thought he might ascend to the level of Montana. Again, that is one of the worst assessments I have ever seen on a football forum. You need to sit down.
