Brandon Beane on WGR

It does speak to him feeling pressure. As for Beane’s comments, here’s how I read them. The most important were:

- him saying “there’s only one ball” and

- using the word “frustrated” when speaking of WRs who don’t think they get the ball enough.

 

Easy to interpret IMO. The Bills aren’t looking for an elite WR who demands the ball (like Diggs did) and they aren’t interested in spending big on such a player. That’s because they are planning on utilizing the same schematic concepts as last year - run heavy with a predominately shorter passing game that spreads the ball around and has an eye toward YAC. An elite WR would be frustrated with lack of targets in that offense.

 

 

I think they should be open to modifying the plan consequent upon having an elite wide receiver. It's not an issue, because they do nothing to make that even a remote possibility. I still think acquiring Metcalf would have been the perfect add. (He's not elite, per se, but he excels precisely where we needed improvement.)

I agree. I don’t think they want to put that much in the way of resources toward a playmaking WR though. I do not like that plan, but it’s the one they’re going with.

I don't think the Bills like the plan either, but it's a plan born out of necessity. They just don't have the funds for a play maker. Beane has pretty much said that.

I don’t know if it’s necessity or valuation.

 

I think we all agree the Bills would have a better chance of winning a Super Bowl if you gave us Chase and Higgins. But would we have a better chance of winning a Super Bowl if you gave us Chase/Higgins and the Bengals OL and defense? Probably not.

 

I would love a few more playmakers offensively. I would love them defensively too. I would love some stars on ST. But it’s hard to get them all.

 

I was a little down on this team last year offensively and they were great. I’m willing to give them a chance again.

This is the year.

Bean has been salty in everything ive seen him in. Something is bothering him. There is more to the story im aftaid

He’s a competitor who’s tired of losing. Then he answer to a bunch of morons who think the NFL runs like madden directly after the draft where he’s probably stressed out of his mind. 
 

He’s a top 3 GM in the league right next to the Rams and Eagles guy.

at some point I’m pretty cool with pushing enough chips in that we may need a reset year after it but hopefully with a trophy in the case instead of just division banners 

 

let’s get our all pro pass catcher(s)

They made their decisions on what to spend on

[HappyDays]

I'm not one to bump old threads. But does this go down as one of the all-time PR blunders in Buffalo sports history? It was destined to look really stupid if the WR room ended up being a disappointment, and predictably that is what has happened.

[ALLinALLEN]

We need a WR plain and simple. And not the Amari cooper type. A real bonafide WR. We tried it, didn't work, give up and get one IDC if you trade 3 1sts for one

[Rocbillsfan1]

Beane has no idea what he’s doing. No trade up for Brian Thomas jr and passes on mcConkey. So it Beanes fault, or does Brady have no idea how to gameplan WRs into his scheme?

Hard to believe the GM of a team trotting out Tyrell Shavers at WR would scoff publicly at any need to upgrade the room.

 

Keon is a ghost and Shakir, while very good, isn’t good enough to be the focal point.

 

It certainly appears like last year’s offense was the stars aligning with scheme and career years out of guys like Mack and Ty Johnson. And unfortunately, that’s hard to replicate.

[Coach Tuesday]

Beane is smarter than all of us.

[Turbo44]

Beane and McDermott have both failed - wasting Josh Allen 

[TheFunPolice]

Since McDermott has a job for life here, fire Beane tomorrow morning.

 

There is some sort of disconnect, or Beane is not getting McDermott players who fit his scheme. 

 

Our 3rd rounder doesn't even dress. We're constantly relying on signing old injured players from the past because the draft picks and signings are not cutting it 

 

It's inexcusable. 

[ngbills]

Joke. We are all stupid and blind. Beane is the almighty.

Truly shocking that in a game where we needed a 2nd half comeback led by the offense, Moore and Shavers were the featured players. That is 2018 bad.

They're trying to do it without weapons and without top offensive staff...this is what that looks like. Last yr was a mirage

[QB Bills]

It's amazing how badly he's mismanaged this roster after drafting Josh. This is a bottom 5 team with literally any other QB.
