Chaos Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 2 minutes ago, Success said: Interesting discussion on the thread. Clearly, for some fans, a SB is the only thing that puts a GM among the best. Which is fair. I just remember 20+ years of GM's here who couldn't get this team above .500. And I see other teams around the league - even teams we perceive as being pretty good - being run pretty poorly. There are things Beane can't control, but overall, I think he gives us a better chance to contend than most. Based pretty much on one great decision followed by a careers worth of average decision making. And average beats the hell out of Doug Whaley and Buddy Nix.

ngbills Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just now, Augie said: Let’s take away Mahomes and Burrow then, too. The roster gets holes as you spend your $$$ on QB’s, and the Bengal’s aren’t even there yet. The 49’ers have a great roster, but a giant question mark at QB. I like their GM and HC. Does Boomer finally see his dream Super Bowl matchup……with Brady vs Josh but not on a golf course this time. How many years in a row did he have Bills vs SF in the SB? Yes - if the sane qb plays for the bills, chiefs, 49ers, bengals, eagles we lose to all 4 of them. No question in my mind. Heck I would argue we lose to the jets and fins and many other teams.

PauleeeWalnuts Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 45 minutes ago, Success said: I mean, to answer the bolded "in general" - I'd challenge anyone to name 3-4 teams that are actually better than the Bills right now. That's better than run of the mill. And as far as this offseason, I expected almost nothing, given our cap situation. If he signs a LB w/ what we have left - we basically go into the draft without any real "needs." Chiefs, Bengals, Eagles, 49ers. The Bills have not gotten better with any of the moves Beane has made so far. Hell, even the Jets with their additions and Hall coming back are going to give us fits. Miami showed they can beat us (and almost with a third string QB). Right now the Bills are basically running it back minus Edmunds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balln Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Just have a bad feeling about this team / roster for this year they’re not going to move the needle (which we all knew/ beane presser) with free agency this year they will have to HIT on some draft players. They need one or two IMPACT PLAYERS. Like a mark andrews te 3rd rd. Chris jones 2nd rd DT. and ultimately. Both things will have to happen. 1) Allen will have to play flawless , elite level, no let downs, no injuries. MVP level 2) coaching has to be elite in playoffs just don’t see both those things happening. Or the draft HiTs Edited March 16 by balln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't THAT unlike how McDermott is starting to be viewed by some of this fanbase. McD hasn't made as many deep runs - but it's been great regular seasons, and generally disappointing results in the end, given the potential. Reid resurrected his career and reputation in KC, in a big way. And I'm a Reid fan, btw. I thought Philly fans got a lot like some of this fanbase is getting now - getting so spoiled with expectations that they lose sight of what they have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where ya been? 😋 They’ve invested a lot, and gotten less than hoped for. The Von ACL was a big swing to fix that problem, and it was working, but we just drew a bad hand. It happens. That sucks. I really like Rousseau but other than that……… some guys. At least there is no Troupe in there. That’s my (typical) glass half full version.

Until it mattered. They barely got out of the wildcard and got embarrassed against the Bengals. They ran it back after 13 seconds and regressed. What do you think is going to happen next year with all the improvements to the Jets and Dolphins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t, he didn’t learn anything from last year’s failures IMO… This is where I’m at. Still a lot to play out but so far we have added an “average to slightly above average guard” by the sounds of it, and a speed receiver who hasn’t accomplished much. Still a lot to go, but need to add another weapon, draft a guard early and a tackle who can compete with Spencer brown Edited March 16 by BillsFan130 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you would have been just as unhappy w/ him as you are w/ McD, or Beane. Probably more, because he couldn't close the deal w/ so many chances.
