HappyDays Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 2 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: It's absolutely not a tank. Who are they tanking for? They got their QB last year. The tank was giving up assets to be in position to get a QB, and now they are dealing with the salary cap ramifications of those moves in the QB's rookie year. It's really obvious what the plan has been. Whether than plan succeeds, it's anyone's guess. Next year will be huge for this regime. Anything under 8-8 will be judged harshly. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I hope his boss Sean was ok with him saying that. And I definitely don’t believe they want to tank.

dpberr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I appreciate his explanation of the business side of football operations with the contracts. Makes sense to me. I can buy that 2018 was a season to get out of contract hell. The question that wasn't asked was why go all in on Nate Peterman in preseason and then double down on the decision with keeping him in the lineup after Baltimore. That's the crux of the fail this year IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 A: “It’s not an easy move. You’re trying to make the best decision for your team. A.J. came here to be the starter, and we were great with that, but you try to have the best competition you can through practice and preseason games. Unfortunately, in preseason you may only have four of the 11 starters on the field, they might be playing vanilla and not showing anything on defense. The lesson here to me is you don’t want to (ever) be in a spot where you have a three-quarterback battle.’’ How in God's name does this answer not scare the hell out of Bills fans? No. The lesson is that you need A) good quarterbacks, and B) coach's able to properly evaluate talent. This fool is really trying to blame their collective incompetence on competition! That is beyond the pale. This guy has absolutely no idea what he's doing. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This isn't a tank, it's ineptitude.

HappyDays Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 8 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: They gave up a couple draft picks and Glenn to get Allen. And they still kept their other first rounder. I wouldn't say that's a tank. They didn't know what position they'd be in when they started making trades last offseason. The trades for Sammy and Darby were part of the same plan as trading Glenn. They knew this season would be tough, that's why they're getting all the dead cap out of the way now. There have been missteps along the way, no doubt, but everything is going according to the plan. Next year is phase 3 and there won't be any excuses if the offense still stinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It is kind of a scary thought. That they're not trying to suck, yet sucking this bad. Sooooo this is your idea of winning football? You might find yourself unemployed if it continues. 2018 is a tire fire. 2019 has to show improvement, and 2020 we have to contend. There are no other acceptable scenarios where McD and Beane keep their jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that's a tank. They've just been pretty bad at evaluating the talent they inherited as well as talent around the league. The reason they are terrible on the offensive side of the football and thus a bad team. Agree. They tried to play the same "money ball" style football that Brandon and Whaley practiced, but they're too incompetent at personnel evaluation -- both players and coaches -- to come close to even typical Bills mediocrity when they have to depend upon their own people. 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: They didn't know what position they'd be in when they started making trades last offseason.

The only "plan" in trading away Watkins, Darby, and Glenn was to a) get rid of players that McDermott didn't want or b) cut current salary regardless of the impact on the team. Most of McDermott's and Beane's personnel moves have been serious errors in player evaluations rather than "missteps". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Well. This negates an awful lot of posts from the kool aid drinkers around here. They're going to start choking on their Kool-Aid. This also means everyone's favorite radio host, Mike Schopp, has been right in consistently maintaining that the Bills are NOT trying to tank and that things have just gone horrible wrong. LMAO. 56 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: whats the difference between tanking and "growth mode"???just semantics.. they knew they were going to lose this year...but that does not mean they wanted to I guess. The Sabres WANTED to lose. No, that's not fair IMO. Either they are tanking or they are not, and Beane seems to think they are not tanking. In this context, "Tank" should be interpreted loosely, meaning if they did not do everything in their power to be as good as they can be this year, they are tanking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 So this turd is not on purpose? They thought they had a acceptable NFL team out there? Peterman was part of a non tank plan? That is just sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
