If the Bills had an offense in the same ballpark of 

 

KC, Rams, Colts, Tampa, Philly high volume throwing offenses AB would be having a press conference here at the start of the league year

 

Odd that none of them has shown any interest in him.  Colts have a ton of cap but seem content to keep their picks and leverage free agency.

That's the thing. Oakland and D.C. are crappy cities. I don't understand all of the hate. 

It’s the ignorant old reputation. Is he looking at the city, or the quality of the team? I think he’d probably like to do it fantasy style. Pick Miami as a city in the first round, Mahomes for QB in the 2nd, and so on....maybe he’d consider our defense? 

 

Sorry AB, that’s not how it works. They all just couldn’t manage to get along. With all that drama I’m glad I’m not a Steelers fan. I don’t know if I could root for that mess.

Yes, we know the fact that there are fans that are angry, wtf is so hard to grasp about this.

 

Now 66 pages and counting of just meh, oh well, moving on... no, there are people who are upset/angry about the situation. Not just not getting the player, but also how this portrayed Buffalo and how Buffalo was ragged on.

 

I also sited there are other social media outlets other than just this site with plenty of angry/upset fans.

 

The only way to change the perception of the team is to win. That’s it. Green Bay is just as depressing and miserable of a place as Buffalo, but players will gladly go there because they (used) to win. 

 

If we want respect for our team, they have to earn it on the field. No more blowouts to the Ravens, no more Peterman’s. No more middling between 7-9 wins a year. Make a statement and players will play here.

Yep. Unfortunately, we are at a disadvantage in terms of acquiring players. Sad but true. I'm impressed that Beane was willing to go out on a limb and take a shot on a less than perfect human for the betterment of the team. It's unfortunate that it didn't come to fruition, but very happy with Beane.

I think the disadvantage is about to go away. We are approaching the time when a lot of good players will want to play for the Bills.  

 

I never thought they'd get AB (until this recent stuff), but Paradis could be the first breakthrough.

And that COMPLETELY missed the point.

 

Point I am making it is less about the City, more about the Offense this Bills team has elected to run since the K-Gun days. with the old school run first play defense because the weather gets bad.

Really? Who's winning the title this year?

 

 

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

If you are implying GS will win and that makes some sort of point... not sure what point that is.

The talent pool in the league is huge and wide-spread.

The East has 4 worthy powers and the west has at least that.

Do the star players drive the league? absolutely... And?

New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire... just to name a few places with higher property tax

 

Still awful and worst overall factoring all the other taxes.  NY has the highest tax burden.

I am a Beane fan for some of the same reasons.  He knows what he is willing to pay and he sticks by that. He doesn't let emotions carry him away in the middle of negotiations.  

 

And as others have said, it's a good sign that McD were willing to take on a possible problem guy.  It means they like how they have the Tam set up and they aren't afraid of the challenge.  

 

They also were willing to pay a big price or they wouldn't have been in serious negotiations. 

Usually in pretty good lock-step on your takes, but I did not like this move by Beane at all.

 

Felt too much like a page out of the Dan Snyder book of team building.

 

Sign big name, generate buzz, sell seats, team sucks, rinse and repeat.

Tough not to get a little offended on just how hard people go at Buffalo nationally when a big name player is linked here. Their loss though, great place to live.

 

I wouldn’t blame a players perception being negative as the Bills have been an abysmal franchise most of my life. Consistent winning is all that can overcome that.

 

Glad to see they kicked the tires on a talented player though.

Remember the Bills PUT them in this spot ignoring the offense until (maybe) this year

 

I think you're reading too much into it.  AB is a PITA, that's the problem.  Screw him.

We can build an offense around others. We are building to win a Superbowl, not to appease specific star players.

OR it was McBeane knowing they have a strong locker room in place with a lot of high character process guys that could easily absorb AB's personality without it being a problem because his talent is immense at a position of huge need....or what you said lol

AB nixed a trade when it's clear there aren't very many suitors. Not like he was a free agent. I would have thought he'd love to play with a QB like Allen.

 

I will say this; Buffalo will never be a glamour city, but winning solves a lot of free agency/reputation woes. So as to your statement, just win baby!
