If Beane doesn't do anything before the trade deadline it's an epic fail

I assume the original post was sarcasm.  I'd like to see the Bills make a move to pick up some OL help or a safety, but I'm fine with things if they don't.  There are not too many players out there better than what the Bills have on their roster already that are 1) available for trade; 2) worth giving up the assets for; and 3) worth giving up the cap space for.  I don't see them dumping a player they drafted and developed to free up a spot for a guy who is expensive, doesn't know the playbook, might disrupt the chemistry of the team, etc.  I'm sure Beane is working the phones and will make a deal if the right one comes along.

This is the part I don't get. How could you have watched Beane since he has been here and even remotely believe he isn't always trying to improve this roster? Not making a trade is not the same as not trying. 

Yeah, I guess that was phrased wrong. That they didn’t get the trade done. They have their price and didn’t want to go past it.

I lived through losing 4 straight.

 

I don't want to make it a 5th this season.

 

It's Lombardi Trophy this year or bust.

 

So if they dont win the SuperBowl this year then what?  You just going to find a new team to root for?  Its not easy to get there.  It takes a little luck and playing the right team at the right time.  Comments like yours are ridiculous.  If they dont get there and win I bet I still see you here next season.

Dolphins just sunk their team in the long run for a win now type trade when they have almost no chance of winning now.  They’ve also hitched their wagon to tua long term who isn’t much more than a one read qb.  

People keep saying that but it makes no sense. You bulid through the draft but people overrate picks sometimes. Fact is Chubb is a really good, young proven nfl player. What guarantee do they have to get a player better than him in the draft? Tua is still really cheap. 
 

It’s ok to give credit to Miami for making moves while still thinking the bills are better than them. Our division, which was the worst in the nfl, has improved tremendously this year. Luckily, most of the qbs suck.

You are forgetting the rookie contract aspect. That is a large part of keeping a roster together once you have a QB. The Dolphins pay Tua in 2024 with the Option and move into his top $ contract. Now they have to pay Chubb, and Tua.

Yeah, I figured you din't mean it that way. One of the things I respect most about Beane is that he has been very clear, from the very beginning, that any decisions they make will be about what is best for this team in the present and the future. His decisions may not always work out; however, he truly tries to approach every decision from that perspective. I have no doubt he has explored every trade scenario that he thought might make this team better. If he doesn't make any trades by the deadline it will be because there weren't any that he thought would be worth pulling the trigger.

 

He's built a team that is the favorite to win the SB this year. He's earned my benefit of the doubt.

Chubb takes multiple times as much cap room as a rookie pick would…that’s the flaw in your logic.  Picks are much more valuable than plugging in a sizable veteran contract. 
 

I would have no problem giving Miami credit should they deserve it…this has nothing to do with being jealous of a division rival or anything like that.  
 

with buffalo and kc and baltimore in their conference though, I’m willing to bet they’re more than a Bradley Chubb away.   There’s a small chance they prove me wrong and find their way into the Super Bowl but I very much doubt it


they haven’t traded picks to the extent that LAR has but that is what happens to your franchise when you can’t turn your roster over with young talent on rookie deals

There are a tremendous amounts of beers that deserve large amounts of praise over piss water beer you are referencing.

 

my quote, they are lyrics that tell a story, it has little to do with actual wine comparisons. The sweeter in this reference means better and nicer then what you already have.

I agree there are some terrible beers and terrible wines etc... I don't know much about wines because who the ***** drinks wine, but thats me.

You’re leaving out two aspects. Chubb is a known entity. He’s not a bust and he’s on the team this year. No waiting to develop or play next year or 2-3 years down the line.

Only about 90% of the population of world drinks wine.  How many bottles of beer go for $100 plus?

I wouldn’t consider port to be sweet.  I guess there are desert ports.  

 

Depends upon what type of port - there are dry and semi-dry ports - but overall, yes, port is a sweeter wine.  The whole strategy is to add a grape spirit with concentrated alcohol prior to the completion of fermentation, so that residual sugar remains.

 

Part of the perception may be that there are a lot of sweeter wines (and other beverages!) on the market now-a-days and people accustomed to drinking very sweet sugary drinks.  Everything is relative I guess.

There once was a time when Jeff Tuel, Thad Lewis and Kyle Orton started at QB

 

There once was a time when Sam Aiken was our 4th Wr


There once was a time when Robert Royal was our tight end 

 

There once was a time when John McCargo was our starting DT

 

There once was a time when we started LBs like Preston Brown and Jeff Posey 

 

There once was a time when Coy Wire and Pierson Prioleau were our starting safeties 


 

We will be just fine for many years

I’m not leaving that out.  He’s a known entity that hasn’t really had a great year since his rookie year and he comes with some injury risk.  They’re shelling out capital to be the 4th or 5th best team in the afc imo but we’ll see how it shakes out

 

helps then short term sure, but does it help them enough.  Long term I think they’ve been on the wrong end of quite a few trades but we’ll see…I certainly can’t see the future lol

People seem to forget that we were, and still are, Super Bowl favorites.  Josh was, and still is, the favorite for MVP.  We still are going to get Tre back.

 

Beane wants to win ALL the Super Bowls.  He's not going to nuke our future, trading away all our draft picks like the Rams, or leave us in cap hell for a decade shoving money down the line just to claw the "win now" window open another fraction of an inch.  Demanding all these moves from Beane literally goes against what he came here to do in the first place.  We got rid of the bad contracts and dead cap, we're drafting well, we have potentially the best roster in the league, and people want to throw that away for years to come because they want to scrape diminishing returns on an already elite and dominant team?

giving up a second or third round draft pick is not "nuking our future" you want to win it all the first time then worry about multiple wins.
