That’s just about enough to sign Rashid Shaheed…

 

Yes, and if they do, it shows you that Beane has been consistently wrong (which of course he'll never admit cuz his ego is bigger than his brain) on not using nearly enough of our draft capital on quality wide receivers in the higher rounds that could have been on cost-controlled contracts for 4 to 5 years (it would have also helped our constant bad cap situation, including minimizing to some degree a lot of his bad contracts). And specifically if they do a mid-season acquisition of a receiver yet again, what does that say about Beane always pushing back on that narrative every year. We all remember him bashing Jeremy White, well this would be mea culpa on his part. That is, his hand being forced to do the obvious, which most everybody with even a pea brain has known for years, including the smart loyal fans, that he has consistently under invested with middling wide receiver weapons for years thinking it's enough for Josh and Josh has unfortunately, had to make the best of it basically. 

 

Just like last year mid season, bringing in Amari Cooper for a third round pick. Why is he doing this constantly if he's so right, because each year a hammer finally hits him over the head with the obvious midway through the season because of the loud criticism and what we see on the field that what we have at the wide receiver position, is not nearly enough, duh! And then he has to constantly backtrack, never of course admitting that he's mismanaged the wide receiver position, and that we need more weapons on the offensive side of the ball. 

 

Another problem is he's had a ton of bad pics over the years that has exaggerated the situation where he's had to go back to the same areas over and over again because he's gotten it wrong so many times, which has been mostly along the defensive line.

All those bad picks but yet he has the highest draft AV in the NFL...

 

As usual fan perception is well off from reality due to not knowing what they are comparing to among 31 other teams

I feel like every time I flip on a Saints game I'm watching him drop a pass.  I'm sure that's not the case, but it sure feels like it.

Do you have any of these compromising photos/pics of him? How is this the first I'm hearing of this!

I mean, his picks are competing with his own roster. So I’m not sure how valid AV is.

Shaheed and Harrison Phillips are two very plausible acquisitions

I’m predicting Olave and Harrison Phillips.

I wouldn't mind Olave, but Shaheed makes more sense to me because he can return kicks too. We've got Codrington occupying a roster spot and he's been a healthy scratch for several weeks now.

 

Harrison Phillips makes sense due to all the injuries and question marks on the interior of the line.

 

I'm not feeling the Harrison Phillips vibe. I don't think the Bills list of needs include a run-stuffing DT... especially because they can elevate Phidarian Mathis (dude is HUGE) two more times or sign Zion Logue if necessary. They're not gonna trade a pick on a position that can be filled sufficiently on the very cheap, IMO.

 

With the recent flashes by Bishop, Hairston, and Hancock I also don't think they view secondary as a need.

 

I would guess wide receiver and pass rusher... either interior or edge.

Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney?

 

Some guys laugh when they tell a joke... I really appreciate your dry delivery.

We also have too many Dorians.

We need to get back to the days where we had 6-7 Bills.

please oh please oh please.  i know i know...but it'd be great i think Maxx would love being a Bill much like Bosa is currently. actually having a fan base and all

Maxx thinks "Yall" is an actual word.  Do you think he would understand the playbook (if it's written in English)?

Here's a list of once-good players the Bills picked up only to realize that they were over the hill:

 

Beasley (second time)

John Brown (second time)

Reggie Bush

Matt Cassel

Tim Couch

Vince Young

Matt Leinart

(those are the only ones who come to mind quickly but there are surely others, please add)

 

Hoping Harrison is not a potential addition to this list.
