If we could find a way to beat New England, as crazy as it sounds, this team could appear in the Super Bowl. Somebody will greatly overpay to get Miller and we do not need to be a part of that.

(largely because he can't stay healthy) Seriously he's a ***** mystery this season. Though I suppose we shouldn't forget that if they did trade for him he'd need to be approved after a physical.

KD in CA Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Good move for SF. They needed a WR but presumably didn't want to give up a top pick for Green. We'll learn a lot about them as their schedule gets tougher over the next month or so, but right now they look not only like a legit SB contender, but also the type of team that can shut down NE.

Beane needs to be ready to make a move to improve the team quickly, as the season unfolds. The window for success this year has never been left more wide open. I remember when there were literally no trades other than during the draft and it wasn't that long ago.

They may think they are set. Especially considering they’ve struggled to find uses for Robert Foster. For the record, I didn’t want Sanders, so I’m not broken hearted over this. I’d much rather they add a pass rusher if they are going to unload precious draft picks. AJ Green would of course be the exception, but I don’t want another type of guy they already have who is old and on an expiring deal. While similar in age, AJ Green is far from what we already have, but I’d be shocked if it happened. Mike Brown is a stubborn old goat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you do that and once Tom does retire you're looking at some lean years for at least a little while. Then the question is whether Belichick wants to hang around for those years and if he doesn't then you're in some real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as he is I don’t think he alone does it, would he improve the team? Yes, but by how much?? Go Bills!!! My view is that he wouldn’t be as valuable as a man corner or a bigger RB. Allen would be the worst player for us to lose, but if Gore it one of our outside corners gets hurt we will have a real problem. ** and I realize that we’re primarily a zone team. But we may need to press to win in the playoffs. That seems to be the formula to beat KC, for example.

He doesnt want to give up valuable future assets for decent (Sanu) and old (Sanders) skill position players. He's trying to build a perennial contender and you don't get there making desperate moves, despite the impatience in Buffalo for us to be great again after the embarrassing past two decades. We've seen numerous blissfully ignorant GMs over the years but this isn't one of them. If theres a good move to be made for someone to help this team immediately I'm confident they will move on it. But he traded a 3rd for KB... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleSammy Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 We could really use some LB help, Maurice Alexander got eaten up filling in for Milano. Not sure we really need Von Miller given what he would most likely cost. Beane hopefully has some other under the radar guy on his wish list.

Blank Stare Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Anyone know what the Falcons are rumored to be wanting for Beasley? I think he’d fit in well here on rotation with a little McD tutelage. I’d love Von Miller, but that ain’t happening. Bonus: The Beasley name could almost be the new Williams on this team.

I said this earlier, it doesn't matter who the receivers for the Pats are, as long as there is one guy open, Brady will find him if you give him the time. This move as well as the 49ers was largely prompted because of injuries. Both receiving corps are beat up at this point. New England tried to trade with Tampa Bay for OJ Howard, but the Bucs turned them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were interested in John Brown and that other knucklehead WR from PIT ( name escapes me ) but those deals didn’t materialize. Beane finally made a last minute deal , and referenced that there might be a player’s revolt if he didn’t do something to bolster the team. That offseason saw a lot of player departures and they found themselves in a playoff race anyway, so the deal was made. Didn’t work out, but the cost wasn’t a killer either.
