Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Thurman#1 said: Yeah, we're not a perfect roster. Of course, there's never, in the history of football and in fact in the history of all team sports ever been a perfect roster. Nor will there be. Arguing that because the roster's not perfect we should make a move is like arguing that because it's a day ending in the letter "Y" we should make a move. We're an incredible roster. Best in the league. We don't have any needs or holes. Plenty of areas where we could make small improvements, but no real needs or holes. Anyone we pick up at this time would be a luxury. I could see a smaller move, definitely, but it's very far from a necessity. No moves when our safeties are hurting is a bad look for Beane. I was high on Johnson in the preseason but whenever he plays big plays happen. Beane needs to add a safety or face the consequences if safety is a problem later in the season. It’s his risk to take. It’s a dumb risk. Adding safety depth won’t cost much. Edited November 1, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the issue is that people seem to think Beane is just sleeping all day. He and his staff are always evaluating players and looking to improve. If they don't make any moves today it's not NECESSARILY an error. It could be that the value isn't there, the guy they want isn't being moved, etc. This isn't Madden where you can force a trade. The Bills aren't about to mortgage the future for a Safety. While Safety is very important to our scheme, the team is bigger than one Safety. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's glaring holes at safety depth and OL depth and even WR in some respect. I'm not hard up on RB like the media is, but if he doesn't at least get a safety with poyer being held together by Elmer's glue and gum and I love him but the dude getting hurt every week There's a glaring hole in your head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not this offseason but in a year or 2 the praise will turn to boos if the Bills don’t go past the AFC Championship game. When expectations are Super Bowl you have to actually reach the Super Bowl at some point. If we had Von Miller last year I feel confident we’d beat KC last year.

They ran the ball very well against GB and the recipe for 3rd and 1 is exactly what they did.

If this team is in the AFCCG over the next few years and they don't get to the SB, then turn your anger on the guy that built the team to consistently get to AFCCG.

newcam2012 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) This thread is pretty ridiculous. Beane has built the best team in football from the ground up. He is most likely the best GM in the game. His track record speaks for himself. He's not afraid to make a move if it's benifical to the team. He has the absolute ability to see short and long term team goals. With that said, I trust Beans's decisions, competence, and knowledge. If there's a move to be made at the right price Beane will pull the trigger. If not he will stay put. Either way the Bills still remain the team to beat! That's a credit to what Beane has built. Now, the Bills have to go and win it all! If they stay relatively heathly I like their chances. KC still looms as the major threat.

They just happen to flood the board with posts every time things don't go exactly how they want them to. It usually is some variation of: "I'm not happy about _______ , I need to let everyone know I'm not happy about _______, somebody needs to do exactly what I want them to do so that I can stop being unhappy about _______ , and if they don't, then they need to pay dearly for not doing what I want and for me still being unhappy about ________ ."

You're right, probably not half. Yeah, the "concerned" posts get me. It's like, just enjoy the ride. It's as if some think that if the defense isn't shutting out teams every week then there are issues. And if the offense isn't replicating their success from the Wild Card game vs the Pats then there are "causes for concern" and yadda yadda yah. Other teams are gonna score points and hit on some plays. Either way they still gotta try and stop Josh Allen and this offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why I was disappointed with Josh and the offense. The D is great but Josh is the meal ticket and the ultimate factor in whether this team wins Super Bowls or not. Not concerned about the next game though : each one is it’s own entity. The concerned posts are reflective of Bills fans serious fear of failure and FOMO/ PTSD.
