Rigotz Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 A few thoughts, based on your responses: - Kaiir Elam is 22 years old in his second season, and has never played in a zone-heavy defense in his life. Calling him TBD is accurate. Perhaps we shouldn’t throw him out in the same scrap heap as AJ Epenesa, Terrel Bernard, and Spencer Brown. - Complaining that Beane will “probably sign Gabe Davis” without knowing anything about the contract or intent is ridiculous. Yes, they “love him” and he’s a team captain. They also “loved” Tremaine Edmunds and he was also a team captain. Beane could give you guys a million dollars and you’d still complain that you need to pay taxes. Jesus. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook was # 4 in total yards rushing. What exactly qualifies as a difference maker in your opinion? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you clairvoyant or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? It's a simple comparison of what the actual outcomes were between the two seasons. No need to use your imagination. But since you brought it up, the drop off happened this season if at all: the past 4 seasons the Bills Offense has ranked 2,3,3 and 6th in points scored. SO there really is no reason to believe there would have been "a nosedive" this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomur67 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think we also were wrong when many on this board criticized Beane for getting Harty, Sherfield, and Rapp. Said many, what have these guys done for the Bills? Well, I guess, this last game proved Beane Knows what he's doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomur67 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Maybe Dhop money would be a lot more than they wanted to spend on one player. I don't know what Dhop's deal was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I don't know that I'd mark Elam "TBD". I think it's been determined. That was a BAD miss. But the other ones were great hits for a team short on cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Buffalo Bills are the AFC #2 seed going into another playoff post season. I'm of the opinion that if Brady was OC for the whole year, they would be the #1 AFC seed. Seems like it's due in no small part to Brandon Beane. It is fun being a Bills fan lately. Time to win it all. Go Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Lots of first world assumptions in this thread, but that’s the nature of folk who are part time observers of the game, reading the nonsense that members have posted on their timeline expectations for the healing and return to form after major injuries persuades me to discount a lot of their thinking on Beanes moves as GM…, you would think a bunch of folk here have injured knees from the jerking they go through…, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Cook catching an easy TD against Miami make you feel differently if they had 3 more points than last year? Now if you said the Chiefs offense scored more points last year than yeah, that would be a huge difference...496 to 371...125 points less this year. 455 to 451 is basically meaningless. we played 3 more quarters this year 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I hated the Bernard pick and I was skeptical he had any chance to hold up vs the run in the nfl. I was clearly wrong I liked the Spencer Brown pick but after a couple years of what I thought was poor RT play, I thought he would be the demise of our offense. I was wrong this year. Not sold if we should hand him a big bag or not just yet, but I’d take him for 7M aav. He’ll likely command 10+ if he can sustain this level of play next season. i hated the elam pick, but I haven’t lost complete hope on the kid yet. He flashed last year and is playing behind 3 corners that are much more experienced playing zone. If he can bring that playbook on every plane, he might be worthy of a roster spot or maybe a move to safety next season. But he’s a fail so far. I wasn’t a fan of the epenesa and moss picks- I wasn’t wrong. They both turned into decent players, but I think they’ll both have better careers on other teams than in Buffalo. I was on board with the majority of Beanes other selections. The picks I liked most: Kincaid, Torrance, Shakir, Rousseau, Dane Jackson, Oliver, Motor, Edmunds and Phillips.
