The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hypothetically, after the complete ***** show that happened in Baltimore, Beane was fired Monday morning, and they brought you in. What would you have done as GM from that point onward to change our season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Lock up Nate the great to a long term contract with incentives that would pay him an extra 100k per game for not throwing a pick six in a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt many here think they can lord over the NFL like a Walmart manager lords over a bunch of floor sweeping and shelf stocking flunkies.

dpberr Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 You really only had to do one thing to stay competitive. Sure, you could have fired Juan Castillo and/or Terry Robiskie (still tempting) but lets' say you didn't want to be that dramatic. All you had to do was under no circumstances play Nate Peterman again. You start Allen and get to trying out a better backup quarterback post haste. The season may have been different if you didn't have the countless Peterman implosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well I'd hire back Beane because firing a GM after one season when they made the playoffs is insanity despite one really bad game. But if I was GM I would've cut Nate, brought in Matt Moore, and realigned the QB room based off of that. WR wise I would've tried to get a guy like Prior earlier and made the WR corp faster like Beane eventually has done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you sign Moore when by any reports made known that he was done with the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Once the season has started you just get through it as best you can, you aren't going to make whirlwind changes that suddenly take a bad team and make them a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochesterRob Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just now, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Let's be honest. Everybody has a price. Let's be honest. Moore knows he can make far more being a NFL QB than a Walmart manager or if he has a legit degree a bottom level white collar professional. Yet, he is still at home and anything I have heard about him that he was approached by other teams. If he was really interested he would have put a price out and likely it would have become known that the reason he did not sign was a difference in money. No reports out there concerning Moore and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Start Josh Allen and immediately bring in a couple veteran signal callers. Pretty much what Beane did except I would bring in a couple veterans sooner than he did. Like after the AJM trade.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Bring in any of Kyle Allen, Davis Webb, Landry Jones, Tyler Bray, Jake Rudock. Cut Peterman. Bring in Allen Lazard or Marcell Ateman. Cut KB. Bring in Keenan Reynolds. Cut Ray Ray. We might have 1 more win. I'm not sure if that's better or worse, all things considered. EDIT: I'd also peek at Storm Norton. Edited November 13, 2018 by BuffaloHokie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make Allen the starter, and bring in guys similar to our current back-ups, DA and Barkley. IMO, this is Allen’s team until proven otherwise.

Chuck Wagon Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Any players named are obviously in 20/20 hindsight. All I'm going to say is it was irresponsible to not bring a veteran QB in the moment McCarron was dealt, which Beane has admitted as a failure on his part.

gobillsinytown Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't pass judgment on the previous administration. I would start with an objective assessment of what I had: Based on Peterman's previous performances to that date, I wouldn't start him again. The rest of my focus would be on the O-Line because in my opinion that's where everything starts on offense. So how do I improve one of the worst lines in the league? I would try simplifying the playbook as much as possible and focus on running the ball. Now the hard part: Do I sit Allen and bring in a free agent QB to start? I would be inclined to set Allen behind a veteran, even if it's a journeyman. Josh has a lot of potential, provided his confidence isn't destroyed behind a bad O-Line. Those would be my first steps. Now whether or not it would work......................probably not, because I think the team's biggest problem is the O-Line and that takes time to fix.

Rc2catch Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 If I’m taking over after game 1 I would resign. Nobody could of done anything to save this season. The only way this season could of been sniffing the playoffs is if the run game on offense was unstoppable and controlled the clock like crazy. With that said I like the fun side to this thread, so I’m gonna wheel and deal with my madden skills. Im trading shady and my 3rd round pick to Pittsburgh for Bell, who will proceed to blow out his knee in the first game cause he wasn’t in game shape. Sending kelvin benjamin to Dallas for a 6th round pick, where he suddenly cares and scores on red zone targets almost every game. I am resigning Reily cause we gotta give the people what they want. Cut him two games later cause he’s hurt and isn’t actually a good receiver. Im playing Nate EVERY SINGLE GAME until he has a good game or breaks his neck, sit back and watch Josh.. Next year is all yours after I’m fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 After Baltimore it was obvious that the Bills lacked speed. So I think the best you could do is what the Bills are doing now: bringing in younger players at the wide receiver position. I always would have moved McCoy into the slot more often and got Murphy onto the field, again, speed and youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I would immediately ask the Bills if they were interested in buying out my contract so they could hire someone who knew what the hell they were doing. I would take pennies on the dollar as it would be found money to me! If that didn't work I would ask Bills ownership if I could run the team from my lounge chair while drinking a Molsen Golden. Then I would turn it over to the coaches & players and let them sort things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
