eball Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Apparently Bills' GM Brandon Beane just had the "worst week of his tenure" as the Bills' GM. Let's recap: - traded former 2nd round pick Cody Ford to the Cardinals for a 5th rounder after coming to the conclusion Ford would not start on this OL - released 6th round pick Matt Araiza after sexual assault allegations were revealed in a civil lawsuit - released FA TE OJ Howard, costing the Bills just under 3M against this year's salary cap As far as I am aware, Beane's dog did not pee on his shoes and his wife did not leave him. He is still the GM of the team with the best Vegas odds to win the next Super Bowl. He also just came off an offseason in which he signed future HOF edge rusher Von Miller and orchestrated a draft that is likely to yield several key contributors. He also beefed up a defensive line that while statistically sound, could never finish the deal against Mahomes and the Chiefs. He added multiple pieces to the offensive line for both starter and depth options. If only our worst-ever weeks in our jobs could look like this. 14 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 A good portion of the press (Buffalo News, WGR, Rochester papers) have been nothing short of full-on jackasses with their takes on how the Bills handled the Araiza situation. 15 3 26 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It looks ugly on paper, but all three were the right moves. It's hard to admit when you're wrong, but sometimes you need to cut your losses and move forward 1 minute ago, Logic said: - No red helmet alternate unis We're saving them for next year to commemorate our Superbowl victory. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slot receiver moves a few yards to his left or right and he's now outside Glad there are no more red helmets OJ on the wall means nothing to me 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call out the knowledgable poster who made this remark in the thread where it was stated? Unless you are LAMPing today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yall Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I suspect we would disagree on much, but "I See No Lies" here. Add to your list a recent opinion piece in a National newspaper actually making a comparison between the Bills failing to immediately cut Araiza the moment a lawyer called them with allegations of sexual assault, and BYU failing to take immediate action when a Black volleyball player was audibly taunted with racial epithets during a match on BYU's home court. Let's review: Many people including the BYU coach, AD, refs, and players hear someone in the stands audibly taunting an opposing player on their court as a n****r, and fail to take timely action = Bills receive unsubstantiated allegation against their Hispanic descent punter and decide to get his side/investigate as best they can before cutting him I. Can't. Even. I saw that as well and just shook my head. Out of curiosity why do you suspect we'd disagree on much? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
