icw70 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I'm as pumped as any Bills fan about the playoffs!! I'm wondering why GM Beane hasn't had a solid backup option to McCoy? He pretty much hasn't all year? Anyone else wonder this? If there's a thread out there about this, I haven't seen it.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Mike "Culture" Tolbert wry, very happy to make the playoffs.

bmur66 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Going into the season without a legit backup has always been a question. Shady going 16 games without injury is probably not going to happen. Tanking was the only answer that made sense. Guess that didn't work out so well.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just now, PaattMaann said: flip side; maybe the Bills arent even sniffing the playoffs if players werent kept around to build the right culture You honestly don't think the Bills would be better if we had Sammy instead of the worst WRs instead of Jordan Matthews? We won't be better with Dareus, even as an unmotivated tub of goo, than a 6th round pick? You won't rather have a young rb than Mike Tolbert? we made the playoffs and it's awesome. But we act like the new regime inherited the Browns? It was a 9 win type of team last year with terrible coaching. Woth how bad the AFC is, this team could have gone really deep.

If we didnt Trade Sammy we dont have Gaines, and checking the record of this team with vs without Gaines is impressive...so yes, in this case I dont care about not having Sammy Dareus trade was a waste considering we could have done the same thing at the end of the year and saved money, but maybe we was cancerous in the locker room, I cannot answer that one My comment was regarding your comment about Mike "Culture" Tolbert and why some players who arent really contributing on the field are still on the team. I trust McD's vision 100%....yes he inherited a 9 win team, and then gutted it and stocked up for the future with draft picks while still taking this team to the playoffs (with a limited QB).

hondo in seattle Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Our RB room wasn't bad until everyone started getting hurt. In limited action, Murphy looks like a legit backup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I figure the team can't just plug in a running back of the street with this zone blocking scheme. Knowing *where* the lanes are going to be is part of the play, but also knowing *when* they will be open is too. I'm pretty sure it's why audibles are far and few between. That's where corporate knowledge becomes the asset to have. It's why your practice squad players have more value than a free agent.
