Trade Deadline has come and gone

[Fleezoid]

Well, they'll be another Trade Deadline next year. 

[Success]

I'd like to zag and praise Beane for not trading for someone just to "make a move."

 

As the dust settles, it's clear that no one who we really wanted was going to be traded.  We are going to need draft picks - our cap will always be a problem now, as long as Allen is QB.

 

We're in good shape. I love what I saw Sunday against KC, and think that our offense AND defense will continue to develop as we move along this season. If we can stay healthy, this could be our year.

I think the Bills were a bit unlucky that the biggest sellers at the deadline were the Jets and Dolphins.  Neither willing to work with Buffalo with in reason.  Saints kept Olave.  Shaheed was a target but his price tag was steep for a rental.   
 

Palmer getting healthy will be big imo.  He can open up the down field passing game off play-action.  Can Davis run and can Coleman find a rhythm are 2 questions the can help as well.  6-2 with an improving defense and top 3 offense is still a good spot to be. 

The Palmer thing is real with that contract. Beanes wager

The reasons are self-inflicted though. We've got a good bit of $ tied up in players who contracts don't equal their performance IMO. Knox and Bernard just to name a couple home growns. Then add in bad signings like Samuel, and you're handcuffing yourself.

I am not going to argue against Knox's current contract . Or Bernard's

its the FA spending that concerns me. Going back to Starr , Gore and few more that were just losses. I understood the reasoning , but it was not a difference maker.

 Miller was  and error from the get go. Even before the injury.

Have no issue with keeping the Draft picks around.  But Knox was overpaid on the 1st reward.

Beane is still learning it seems.

 

and we wait for the Lombardi

 go bills

With the new stadium, is there any chance Orchard Park will host the Trade Deadline shows next Fall? 😂

Buffalo should of been in on him. He's every it worth a 2nd. Of course we'd need them to eat some of his cap though

Man hearing that Beane press conference today almost sounded like Buffalo Sabres GM talking about nobody would come here because we don't have palm trees and taxes. I get that he feels like he had to explain himself but i wished he'd have just said there was nothing out there that made sense and moved on instead of the whole "It takes 2 to tango" garbage (Again I understand it was probably the truth but I hated it). Also now I'm hearing how he was trying to go after multiple top WR at the deadline. After bitching to the fans and the hosts on WGR about wanting a WR when Allen just broke records is comical to say the least, why not just sign a real WR in FA? DK was out there, George freaking Pickens, I just don't understand the refusal to upgrade it and even if things like the Cooper deal don't work out just keep trying. This guy cares more about the future than the present and as long as he isn't squandering all the picks on bums we should be fine.

Yet he wasn't traded to anyone.

 

Which means one of two things to me - either that "2nd" they reported was inaccurate or they simply weren't interested in moving him, when push came to shove.

 

I find it quite frankly incredibly unlikely that if he was actively being shopped for a 2nd that there wasn't a single team amongst 31 teams that was interested.

Pickens was a trade.

Yes so was DK.... Oh i see why you said that. I just mean't there were some guys out there in FA and trades like DK and Pickens, my bad.

Dolphins wanted a first and at least a second for Waddle.  No thank you

I guess we'll save it for Coleman 2.0 next season 😀

[SCBills]

I think KC is my favorite non-move. 
 

We struggle to run the ball and need help there.   We want Breece Hall.  We’ll give you a late 4th. 
 

(We want a late 3rd.)  
 

Whoa, ok, that’s a bridge too far.
