Ghs24mike Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Weakest the AFC has been in a long time. We have a 5-2 record staring 8-2 in the face. Patriots play a bunch of tough games down the stretch, but Beane decided not to risk our future on a small window of time. He is clearly saying this isn't our year. We need one more solid draft, and clear evidence Josh is our guy. New England and San Fran made trades. The two best teams in the league traded assets to win now. New England gave up a high draft pick for Sonu because they feel confident they have a shot to win it all this year. Beane clearly doesn't think that. Disappointing, yet understandable. Gag...gag.....gonna trust the process for another year. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I forget exactly where it was said but word was Beane sees next year as the year. I presume that means he'll spend the rest of the cap and trade as necessary. It makes sense. Your young QB is in year 3 and 2 years away from a huge contract. Try to win in those two years and then after Josh is hopefully ready in year 6 to do more with less. You then trim the contracts out and give the money to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think the clear sign reads "GMs of teams with terrible records value assets more than teams with winning records trying to add one more piece to the puzzle, so few trades take place" Long sign, not as simple as "left lane for passing" but hell no one reads that sign either. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Beane is a bold move maker in terms of trades. HOWEVER...he is not a sucker. He is not a dupe. If the value isn't there or the player doesn't fit the long term vision, he's not going to force a move just for the sake of making a move. This is a good thing. Beane's smart enough to know that there weren't any players on the market this year that were somehow going to transform the Bills into Super Bowl contenders in 2019. The Bills are NOT one player away from a championship. I like Beane. I trust Beane. I trust the process. On to Washington. 19 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILBillsfan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I agree with him. The asking price is most likely too steep for what the Bills would be getting. I guess putting trust in a guy that has done a pretty good job to this point is illogical for you, I'm sure he doesn't want to win a super bowl.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yes by all means hold onto those draft picks so we can draft WRs that can't catch, a RB from a tiny school that can't get reps from a 36 year old, and a MLB that lacks instincts. Beane and everyone of these GMs are so gull of themselves thinking they can evaluate talent. Could have had a proven talent today for the price of a lottery ticket next year. Terrible. Just awful. This regime wasted an entire 2018 season admittedly putting a noncompetitive team on the field. Now when the playoffs and a real shot at advancing they sit on the sidelines. Oliver is not producing and if history repeats will get worse as the season wears on. Murphy is a PED fake making millions with zero impact. Hard to believe a character guy like McD has him on the team if they want to win the right way. They are 8-8 talent playing a 12-4 schedule. The next four games will decide the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what Beane is doing and like I said I will trust the process. Just weird that other teams (not this particular draft deadline) but teams like the Rams with Ramsey, Cowboys with Cooper, New England with Sonu are willing to take risks. I do not know what went on behind closed doors, but its hard to imagine we couldnt have traded for SOMEONE that could help our team in a position of need. I will stay positive and hope we can stop the run this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say that he didn't make a trade because he doesn't think we're ready is an assumption. Who sits back at 5-2 with a real shot at making a strong playoff run and says "we're not ready for this?" He did it in 2017 and we were in no different shape than we are now. I would say the fact he made no trades means nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenbar Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 We are not ready. We have a Qb who is in his learning year (meaning : he is trying to figure out how to be a pocket passer), we have a MLB who can cover the entire field against passing plays but is a huge liability with the run game up the middle right at him. Our pass rush is questionable, and our Offensive coordinator seems to be more interested in throwing Allen to the passing game wolves than designing a game plan to protect his deficiencies, right or wrong to be determined. There are way to many questions that need answers to, to start flinging away draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It was the correct play. I know a lot of us wanted to see a deal get done, but not at the cost of the future. I'm ok with this, Tim- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Regardless of our record or the relative weakness of the AFC, anyone who's watched the Bills play this year can see that we're not Super Bowl contenders yet. I wouldn't want him to mortgage the future for an ultra-slim chance of winning it all this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that doesn't mean the OP's point is incorrect at all. Beane may have been all in for Sanu as long as Atlanta took a 5th rounder for him. Once the price got too high he was not longer in. Personally I was all in for the Bills trading for Green, Williams, Beasley and Miller as long as after all the trades were done the Bills still had their 1st thru 3rd round picks and at least one of their 4ths. Probably would want a DT thrown in their too. As far as NE having a tougher schedule, only two games differ, admittedly, they are quite a bit tougher than ours. But overall do agree we are still a year away. Edited October 29, 2019 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the owner I would tell him if we miss the playoffs your fired because you had draft picks to use and not use one of them. If the fan base saw the Bill's in the playoffs the last 19 years then I would say yeah trust the process but going 20 years and made the playoffs once and you bone head is saying trust the process if think the ab trade debacle was bad wait until you have draft picks saying we want nothing to do with this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
