Virgil Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I know there’s been a lot of ups and downs this season. Seriously, lesser teams would have folded up shop by now. It’s sucks to lose the one seed like we did. It hurts wondering if Von and Hyde will cost us in the playoffs. But as I see Black Monday roll around, front offices reaching out to any potential future coaches, praying they can turn their losing team around, thinking about the draft and FA, already, it makes me so appreciative for what we have. 5 years ago, our season would have started today. We would have been wishing for the next HC, draft pick, quarterback would could save us. Today, I see all these articles about interviews and players retiring, etc, and I’m just thankful. I never, EVER, doubt what we have as being elite talent and support. Is it SB worthy, maybe and maybe not. But I know we are so far ahead of 90% of the league and have the right core to keep fighting. We have the best fan base in the league, best possible QB for this team, and setup for success for years to come.

Aussie Joe Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Some Jets fans HOPING to get Derek Carr next year says it all… Like …this is their dream going into next season … We are so fortunate in comparison to that..: 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Brandon has had his misses in the draft see Boogie Basham and Cody Ford but damn if he isn’t one of the best evaluators of middle to late rounds picks. Great GM just hope he drafts a WR high next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'd just like to say that it's unfair that Brandon Beane has never had his balls washed relentlessly since 2019 by Bills fans and local or national media and you just NOW want to show him and his unheralded team of never mentioned as future GM's some appreciation.

smuvtalker Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Appreciate the post Virgil. Count me among the grateful for all that we have. As a Bills fan for over four decades, I have been through my share of heartache, misery, lather, rinse and repeat. Of the Bills finding new ways to rip your heart out of your chest, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. When the McDermott hire was made, it was more of a "meh", let's see what the guy can do. When he brought Beane on board, I actually remember thinking to myself, "wait, why is the head coach selecting our GM? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Here we go with some already instant Billsy type moves.". And then, fast forward to Thursday evening, April 26th, 2018. A night that would come to change my life, forever. The Bills were drafting 12th that night, there were rumors that Beane/McDermott were seriously considering making the jump higher into the first to go after their franchise quarterback. After the sixth pick, it was announced that they had pulled the trigger, and made a trade with Tampa to pick seventh. "This is it," I thought to myself. We're going after Josh! With Mayfield going one overall and Darnold going at three to the Jets, Josh was still there for the taking!!! Then, I heard it. "With the seventh pick in the NFL draft, the Buffalo Bills select Josh Allen, quarterback, Wyoming." I threw the TV remote all the way across the room. I vomited violently. I tried to Patrick Swayze Roadhouse kick my flat screen off of the wall, unsuccessfully. I was instantly suicidal. The Bills did it to me again. They picked the WRONG JOSH! I was squarely in the Josh Rosen camp, and just knew we would finally get things right. Let me just say, that Josh Allen crow, never tasted so good. I thank God every day that our team was entrusted to Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane, and if there was a better way to express my gratitude for everything they've done for this organization, I'm happy to do so. The turnaround, the positive changes they have brought to our team, and ultimately our city, simply can't be overstated. We are without a doubt an elite football team, and have become such a successful franchise, we actually have nitpicked and argued about the problems/flaws with a team that just finished the regular season 13-3, despite countless injuries, a mass shooting, a blizzard that killed 40 plus people, having to relocate to a different stadium due to weather, the witnessing of a teammate collapse and die on the field....yet failed to lose a game through any of those things. And the three losses? A COMBINED total of 8 points. If there's a better coach/GM combo out there....I don't want em. I'm more than happy with what we've been blessed with.

Airseven Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Big picture, yes, the front office, the coach, the culture, are upper echelon in the league and a galaxy removed from the drought years. But now’s not the time to wax poetic. The team’s primary issues are OL and secondary right now. Beane got duped by a washed Saffold in his contract year and overpaid/promoted Bates who looks to be better suited for spot duty. He neglected OL in the draft to the point of reaching for special teams LB in the third round! Also, he traded up for Elam who became a healthy scratch in the back half of the season. This team has to get over the hump. They deserve credit for building to this point, but there’s no free rides henceforth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
