He said that last year and then went out and signed Von Miller. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Do some of you really expect him to say, "oh yeah, the axe is gonna come down, heads are rolling, we're replacing this guy and that coach and Timmy the clipboard holder he's gone too." The expectations are absolutely absurd from some of y'all. Beane has built a consistent contender, something we hadn't seen for nearly two decades. Does he have some whiffs? Sure. They all do. No GM has a perfect track record. Josh had guys like Robert Foster and Zay Jones in 18 and 19. Everyone said "they need a real receiver for Josh!" Beane goes and gets Diggs. Everyone griped about the pass rush in 2020 and 2021. What'd Beane do? Goes out and gets a Hall of Fame pass rusher. They've drafted well, developed players and retained them. That is how you keep the window open. Crap happens. If they were to do a major overhaul like some of y'all want then we'd all be miserable watching this team go 8-9 for another two or three seasons. And I'm not saying Beane is immune to criticism, I'm saying some of ya need to allow room for error because again, no GM can be perfect. He's done a lot to address the needs of the team and with the way the cap works they have to prioritize the positions they find most important and pay those guys and hope they can get by with average or subpar players are some other spots. This is something all teams have to do. I know Dorsey isn't going anywhere. And yeah at times his calls weren't the best or most creative but other times it was Josh not making the best decisions and the offense not executing. As always it's a combination of things but it's just too easy for people to point at one or two people and place all the blame on them. That said...the one change I think I'd like to see is them moving on from Leslie Frazier. Very consistent in the regular season but when the pressure is on in the big games things just seem to fall apart. I'd like to see some more creativity on that side of the ball. It'll be an interesting off-season. Edited January 24, 2023 by blacklabel 6 3 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hopefully Spencer Brown works in the offseason to put some weight especially in the lower half. Looks more like a TE than offensive lineman out there. Beane has to bring in some competition to push him in the offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauleeeWalnuts Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Sounds like his plan is to run it back with no changes or accountability to the coordinators. He just loves everyone and how great they played. I wish a reporter would actually ask him and McD difficult questions for once and grill them a bit 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Going solely on the OPs summary, is there another press conference when the GM tells everyone that the coaching staff is pure garbage? When is that conference scheduled? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He's not going to come right out and say what they're thinking, but I'm sure "run it back with who we have and not try to upgrade" is not part of the plan. Cmon now. Just because he speaks positively about a player doesn't mean he's not looking to bring in competition. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 5 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: Bills had their chance to do the same thing in 2019. Instead of taking Josh Jacobs, Marquise Brown or Deebo Samuel they took Ed Oliver. Instead of taking Miles Sanders, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Diontae Johnson or Terry McLaurin they took Cody Ford. Beane has no to blame but himself. He came across incredibly poor in this presser. I'm not sure I see Marquise Brown as a prize, but fair points on Josh Jacobs, Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, and Terry McLaurin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Hix Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Nothing will change as long as this team is winning their division and hosting a playoff game. McBeane are content with this level of success… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's staying, we'll hear about an extension in the next week or so because they have to start scouting for the draft. They wont be wating until next week to say that he is going.... If he was going then I thought an announcement to that effect would have been already made.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Marquise Brown over any wideout on this team not named Steffon Diggs. If he is your number 2 you're in really good shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 14 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: He mentioned Frazier very sparingly. I think he is done. Didnt mention any other lineman, but he really wasnt asked. It really appears like they are going to try and sign cheap free agents to compete with Gabe and see if he can be better next year. Other option is a trade, but i doubt they can fit much under the cap there. I wouldn't waste a 1st in a draft that isn't strong at WR, where we are picking 27. Go with best player available (within reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO if they can learn and make changes for the positive, and Bean can work some magic in the draft and F/A, let's give them one more season to right these wrongs. I think this Domination will stick with them and be a huge motivator. 13 seconds was supposed to be that too. Idk...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The talent (outside the O-Line) is there, the current coaching staff is the issue. This team desperately needs fresh eyes from new coordinators. Both sides of the ball, offense and defense. I adamantly believe a competent consistent running game would put this team over the top. The longer the opposing offense is riding the pine, the more out of sync they will be when they finally line up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hines, with a full training camp, will help indeed. I agree Brown is still developing and is solid at RT. I think,reading between the lines, that Singletary is gone. Edmunds, while they would love to have him, would be hard to keep. If he leaves the Bills are in a deep hole defensively and next years schedule is brutal. Overall an honest. GM terms, press conference. I am not as pessimistic as others on TBD. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
