Brandon Beane on WGR

[BillMafia716ix]

He knows he ***** up. That’s why he tried to go after Waddle. He wanted Keon Coleman to work and it blew up in his face. I fully expect Beane to make a Diggs like addition to the WR room this off-season.

Super unprofessional, but good to hear the WR conversation is getting to Beane’s ears. Be vigilant in upgrading the room now and going forward Beane.

 

This was my heavily downvoted comment back then. Justice for LEBills too!

 

Still so strange how he handled this. If he had just had a normal response like “hey I wish we could have added a bit more competition there too, but I have confidence the guys we have will do well this year” no one would ever recall this radio segment, even with the WR struggles

It's really eye opening that the GM of a professional football team doesn't understand what complimentary football or basic strategy is.  

 

Why are you booing me?! I'm right!

Jordan Addison sounds nice.

Normal response? IIRC this wasn't even an interview, Beane proactively called to mother fork them on the air.

 

All Beane had to do was yell at his radio alone on his car like a normal person.

F Beane. Everyone screaming for years to draft receivers. But of course he doesn’t. He’s smarter than everyone else. I don’t give a ***** if the give up all our draft picks for the coming year. Get some ***** separators in here at receiver. Sick of this *****. 

Picturing you say this with a Blank Stare is absolutely hysterical.

He was wrong. That's not debatable. But he's taken the same type hard-line stance with some guys and nailed it. He defended Spencer Brown and said if he could be healthy he could be special. He was right. He hoped Coleman could take steps forward in his second year...and he didn't. He was wrong 

 

I won't judge him on believing in the picks he's made. His judgement from me comes more in how fast he can admit to himself it's not going to work out and correct the mistake.

 

If Coleman plays his entire contract here without significant steps forward, I would almost be shocked at this point. I'm gonna be bold and say he's trade bait this off-season.

No he was scheduled to go on. He tuned in to the show a little early waiting for it, heard them talking about receiver and lost it when they brought him on lol

[BVBILLS]

Mr. Beane, can you please tell us what do you think of Coleman so far? Is he the next Elam?

[IsolateThis]

There's nothing wrong... with being wrong.  It's the refusal to admit mistakes were made, the doubling-down, and the smugness of it all for me....

Exactly. To me he lost the fanbase with this because it was either going to be he was right so people had to shutup OR it fails badly making him look like a fool while also hurting the team in the process. As a GM you get criticized 24/7, for this to be the way you handled it was pathetic and then ignore the WR spot the way he did until it was too late was criminal as the GM of the team.

 

He can go this offseason.

[Billsfanatic8989]

This rant looks so bad now. He knew he effed up and tried to double down. 

 

Time for a change

I mean to me, it's ok to be a little smug before the season starts. And it's really ok to be wrong from time to time. 

 

I would say being willing to give up multiple high draft picks at the deadline to get a WR is an admission of a mistake. I'm actually curious to see if this translates to the off-season and he makes some moves to redo the WR room.

Why wait until the deadline? This would limit the time you have to talk and negotiate. Maybe they did beforehand. Something about this whole things just doesn't seem sincere to me. If he wanted to trade then why not give this years first?  Does he already have a plan for that pick?  Does he know his pick will be more meaningful to the team than having Waddle?  It's seems like a PR stunt to make it seem like they were in on something that they were basically just giving a casual call to inquire and nothing more. I'm super interested in the draft and seeing if he trades down or uses that 1st on a WR. Would not be shocked if he doesn't though.

This is going to be an interesting offseason for sure. It does feel like this team has regressed this year. With the Pats getting better Beane has to have a good offseason with the draft and FA. We (fans) say this every year, but he has got to find a #1 WR. They need another elite level weapon on offense to help Allen and Cook.

I agree. The pats have tons of money to spend and we really don't. That's also going to help the Pats "close the gap". Maybe that gap is already closed. Maybe next year they will

clearly be better with another offseason of drafting and acquisitions. It's going to be a rivalry for sure. The pressure is on.

The Elam situation was a bit different.   He at the very least worked his butt off.  Coleman sucks and cant be bothered to show up on time for his job or work hard once he is at it.

I have my own theory on what happened based on what we have been told and the timeline of certain events. Goes a little like this.

 

I firmly think that Beane had a deal in place with Miami's former GM, Chris Grier with the terms that we saw. I think once Grier went to Ross to inform him of the trade that Ross disagreed and this along with the tension of the season they have had, led them to "mutually part ways". 

 

After the firing Beane called back and kind of got the run around after being told it's a done deal. I think Miami strung things out long enough that Buffalo didn't have a great chance to pivot to someone else with enough time to make a deal that made sense without making a severe overpay. 

 

Like I said, I see Beane moving on Waddle as an admission of his mistake. I'm HOPING that is is an indication that he will be very active either getting a top WR, or moving up the board to draft one. With the schedule we still have to play and how we looked, we could be starting in the 18-25 pick range. A move up the board from that point wouldn't shock me

Beane might be trash but WGR definitely is! Especially the morning show and shoop!

If Beane put all his chips in the Waddle basket and didnt have his assistant GMs working on a back up plan then he doesnt get the benefit of the doubt from me.  He's been in the NFL for nearly 30 years, he has to know that a deal isnt done until the paper work is signed and into the league, on time.  He's literally seen this while he has been the GM here, twice.   Antonio Brown and JD McKissic were both supposed to be Bills.

 

I like Beane.  I think he's done a good job here, especially early on.   But his excuses for not doing a better job are starting to wear on me. 

 

On the Bengals having Jamarr Chase- "I dont want to suck bad enough to have to get Ja'Marr Chase"

On failing to make a trade at the deadline- "Unfortunately it takes two to tango"- "it's not fantasy football"

On WGR about lack of WRs- "bitching about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I've heard."

 

Its always on someone else.   Saying he went home as mad as every other fan just shows his mindset.  Beane thinks this is happening to him rather than being so frickin undeniable that he gets the job done.   He makes a lot of money to do his job.  Stop blaming everyone else.  Stop making excuses and get things done.

Oh I think that gap is already closed. The Patriots are good… and I’m not sure what the Bills are anymore. What I know is that injuries and a failure to secure a top receiving option has me legitimately concerned about even making the playoffs.
