Foreigner Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The personal decisions made by this regime continue to be so poor and call it what you wish; insane, rediculous or whatever. A unknown named Eric Lee was all over the field including the Bills backfield today. Where did he come from? If you guessed the Bills, you guessed right. He appears to be a better LB by far than anyone the Bills have, but our defensive genius Coach deemed him only good enough to be on the practice squad, from where the Pats grabbed him on Nov. 11. He was called a pro bowler on TV. How did you like Gilmour's play breaking up pass after pass, and Marquis Goodwin line today was 8 receptions for 99 yards. And another reject, Sammy Watkins another TD. Why would another QB want to come here when he has what appears to be a bust (Jones), Matthews (another bust), Holmes (another bust) Benjamin (injured when he got here, duped by Carolina). All our talent at WR were sent packing. This is really amazing and sad at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've made some poor personal decisions. But the personnel decisions I've made at work have been most beneficial. I think the personnel decisions the Bills have made have been good for the long-term future - but I don't want to hijack your thread by going off topic. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The personnel decisions are tough, because we see these guys making plays for other teams. But these decisions weren't about this year. If McD can keep these guys believing, next year with the draft and free agency, 2018-2019 will be the start of something big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 They've traded proven commodities for unknowns. It's a time buying tactic. Something I'm very skeptical of. Woods, Watkins, Dareus, Brown, all have shown they can play in this league. Nothing, 2nd round draft pick, 6th round draft pick, and nothing haven't shown that they can play at this level.

Foreigner Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Guys. The future is now. The NFL is a now league, and with the decisions made this year, what makes you think this group knows how to make decisions. Are you forgetting , as long as Beane and McDermott have been in the NFL no one, not one team hired them for the positions they are in now. Maybe management made all the great decisions with the Sabres. Haven't checked lately, how are they doing in the NHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billzgobowlin Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The thought philosophy is very sound but can blow up in your face and you don't know what you are doing. First get all the cancer out and people that aren't on board with total teamwork. It actually is what happens with Packers and Pats. Superstars get stats but not always results. If you don't fit the mold you are cut or traded. I have no problem with this as long as the Bills don't lose themselves again like they did against Jets, Chargers and Saints. They will add talent next year and it you will see a lot of progression from past years imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't like the way they have middled it. If this was a rebuild you don't give up the possible comp picks that come back in return for starters like Gilmore and Woods for the sake of fringe contributors such as Ducasse, Davis and Holmes. Nor do you trade hard earned additional draft ammunition away for Kelvin Benjamin. If this was really win now you don't trade away your most talented receiver in the pre-season and then the key to your run defense when you are sitting at 5-2.... even if you see neither of those guys as part of the long term future. Darby trade is still defensible because I think he'd have sucked in this scheme in any event. If they had taken a proper rebuild route we'd be sitting here now, no more than 1 win worse than we are, with 2x 1st rounder; 2x 2nd rounder; 3x 3rd rounder, 2x 4th rounder.... and the real capital to rebuild this football team. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more or less agree with this. Holmes and Ducasse didn't seem like necessary pieces but they might have brought stabilization to the locker room, who knows? If you don't have a somewhat stable locker room, you look like the Giants and Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEHARDTRUTH Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dont be so hard on yourself foreigner. We all make poor personal decisions. Thats life. Hindsight is 20/20.

Would you prefer we hire someone who's already had that job, failed, and been fired from somewhere else, or would you complain about that too? I seem to remember most people on this board being happy we got someone fresh, not someone who's already been proven to be a failure. its 12 games. We're .500. These things don't change overnight. The fact we're 6-6 is honestly pretty damn good considering what this season was supposed to be. Considering we've won as many games as we have with the lack of talent shows what McD can do as a coach. Imagine what we'll do with talent? I know, I know, you'll complain that it's his fault we don't have it... but it was traded for draft picks for the long-term..... not guys that we were losing with, and winning without.

I feel the Bills should act more "Urgent" and promote someone "Hot Blooded" from the practice squad to take out the Patriot "Head Knocker" in their next match up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 A guy they(Bills) were developing got plucked and played a good game against his former team...stop the presses. Look the Cheatriots are short on LB's so they were plucking someone from somewhere....get over it. RR made a few nice plays last week..... where was the we needed to keep a 3 -4 LB for our 4-3 scheme threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
