As far as this thread is about Beane, I don't hold him at fault for that debacle. Its on both. He should never have been on the roster. We should not have gone into the season with AJM, Peterman, Allen. Or Taylor, Yates, Peterman the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every offseason its "different", "that was before", "these guys are better", etc. When Rex got here it was different "Rex would never have come to Buffalo before". When we signed Mario "Times are a changing, its a new era in buffalo". When we sign no one "see these guys are smart and build through the draft". Sign a bunch of guys "these guys are smart and guys want to be here". On and on. That is why people are not all in. To add to that is the team sucked last year after being respectful for most of the past few years. The team sucked last year? They were definitely in rebuild mode. They won 6, could have been 9 had three plays gone the other way. To me, it was a great year because we were able to get Josh Allen a bunch of games, and the defense ended up #2 in the league. And look at that schedule. New England twice, Baltimore, San Diego, Houston, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Indy, Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit, and the rest of the East. How the hell did they get 6 wins out of that? They managed to get out of salary cap hell, and now are poised to become a contender. They drafted Allen, Edmunds, Phillips, T. Johnson, Wyatt Teller, Siran Neal....and two hugely productive undrafted free agents (who were both rated first round picks in a re-draft), and now we have signed a buttload of free agents, and still 10 picks in the draft. And the scouting department will help find some more gems the day after the draft. Very few people pay attention to the Bills, because for years we have been irrelevant. We're like the last guy picked in the draft. Not any more. We're coming to get you, NFL. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was all the coach's decision to bench TT and throw him in there his rookie year though. As far as this season goes, I think it was Derek Anderson's indecision, in part, that led to us rolling into opening day with those particular guys. I think Beane (and maybe McDermott) were trying to get him in there and he was vacillating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsighted, non-critical-thinking people get a hold of a ‘fact’ and refuse to grasp that change happens. Buffalo and Rochester (indeed, the entire rust belt) were unattractive for a time: no more. Preach, Beane!!! I came back after 20 years in the south. Yup. Snow and cold weather is easier to deal with than earthquakes, forest fires, hurricanes, or a tornado. Cost of living is lower too.

We're like the last guy picked in the draft. Not any more. We're coming to get you, NFL. Seriously? They were historically bad last year for stretches of the season. They could have won only 2-3 games as well. They were not a 9 win team. Much of what you said is opinion of where they are headed. Hopefully your positive stance is right. Some people get positive easier then others. I take a more reserved approach. I think it starts with the OL and see some improvement potential there. That will help big time. I am not as positive as others on our WR/TE/RB situation. We will see how it goes but lots of risk. None of those guys require extra attention, game planning, match up issues for other teams. On Defense we are similar to last year. The hope is we dont see some decline in the defense as historically you do in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least NFL level QB's across the roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I thought they'd be lucky to win 3-4 games. Instead, the 2nd half of the year was fun, regardless of record, because some of the young guys stepped up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The process is marching on!! Get your bandwagon seats while you can. We are destined for good years with this regime. Sal on the Schopp/Bulldog show tonight said he’d never seen Beane this emotional and fired up before—you gotta love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto. I was listening to Bucky & Sully on 1270 yesterday and Bucky was going on about the "history" of the team, as if what previous regimes and owner have any impact on what McBeane are doing now. Sorry, that is just a lazy take. Edited March 14, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco_92 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I love Beane. I hope they break through this year. This is definitely the most likable NFL roster I've ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought a NFL team should have a deck of cards with each member of the team one of the cards and one player be the joker, probably the long snapper. you got me mac.
