Yep, and wait for the meltdowns over the next few days when Beane doesn’t give them what they want… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all that we need right now to win a SB. We could have won a SB last year had we not thrown our ticket to the AFC championship game down the toilet. If we re-played last season 10 times, we probably go to the AFC championship game 9 times, win in 5 or 6 times, and win the SB after that 2 or 3 times....with what we had and even with our best CB on the sideline. People for some reason assume, because we didn't win a SB last year, we don't "have what we need right now." We do. But what about those free agents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Probably. There will probably be 1 or 2 middling contract acquisitions, maybe like an Engram for $7M per, but it just seems like there's not going to ve anything big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 We are Bills fans so we yearly set ourselves up for disappointment lol But no I would agree I think there is a higher probability the moves in FA do not meet the expectations of fans as there is a yearning for a high profile addition and some players to leave who may not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think *a* big time signing, especially something like Gronk, on an incentive laden deal, is out of the question. I think it all depends on what your personal expectations are. Lol ! No sooner did you finish typing this and the one guy you mention is now out of the question because Brady just can’t stand missing all the focus / attention , and bingo , you become one of the posters you cautioned about! Haha, just kidding ! ( I really am over that guy being in the league again and it will be even one more year of him always getting so much media hype ; it’s tiresome and just sickening for me as I’m so over the guy. Can do everything but f n retire!😩😠😤😆) Edited March 14, 2022 by DrPJax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when Bean did have a lot of money to play with in the free agency he never signed big time free agents, it was always mid tier type of players to fill the holes so I don’t expect things to change this year either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Wagner or Jones are the only 2 left that would fit the hype that was generated last week for defensive names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 of course we are. It’s what we do as fans. Have fun with it. It’s entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 On 3/12/2022 at 10:56 PM, H2o said: I know we, the fans, are hype about FA. Our team is finally good again and positioned to be that way for a while. We're seeing the Bills linked to a bunch of big names and seeing reports that some have even reached out to us. We are really just an impact player or two away from hoisting a Lombardi. I can't help but think that maybe we're expecting too much and aren't going to see the big moves we were hoping for. Hope I'm wrong, but going big in FA doesn't seem like Beane/McDermott style. Not me. I get all excited about the draft every year and almost always wind up being disappointed, if not utterly flabbergasted and disgusted.That said, McBeane drafts look like works of genius compared to Levy and every GM we have had since Polian and Butler. I guess this isn't saying much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest name is probably Mitch Morse to be truthful and I think that was a superb signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
