I’ve been a Bills fan since 65. I go to games in Jersey and Philadelphia because I live down here. My kids and grandkids are Bills fans with plenty of memorabilia and gear. What are you the arbiter of who should be a fan. I just know when fans are being taken for granted and I have the testicles to say so.

And I have since 1960.  And fans are not taken for granted.  Quit thinking your opinion is the only thing that matters.  
 

Does anyone honestly believe Beane just sat around doing squat the last couple days?  You have to have a partner to trade with.  And you have to believe the deal you make actually improves things.  A guy like a Waddle would at WR, but does a Myers or Shaheed?  One can argue no. I wanted Jeudy but apparently he wasn’t on the market.   Would have loved another DT like Williams but the Jets apparent were not trading inside the division.  So many think Beane can just snap his fingers and get whatever he wants.  That is not how this works.

The term overpaying is overused. You have to take risks when the window is open. Unless beating the Chefs in the regular season is good enough.

Seems like for beane and Sean, ***** most of the fanbase, that is perfectly fine 

 

it’s truly disgusting

You seem more perturbed than usual jay 😇

I wanna see our generational QB in a Superbowl,  preferably winning one, just one.

 

It's crazy to me that Darnild of all people is given weapons in year one in Seattle, but Beane puts our entire season on Josh's shoulders year after year.  It's been proven when it comes to the ganes that matter that Josh can't do it by himself.  

 

Time for a  change in the FO!

What’s best for the team, was to do nothing? Interesting opinion smh 

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. Hard to know for sure in the moment. But making the situation about Allen and his legacy definitely sheds light on that poster’s priorities.

Is Shavers fast because he doesn’t really look it while running routes. Yeah he had one long TD last year but I don’t see the speed your talking about come gametime

 

I think he's one of those guys that doesn't necessarily look like he's digging but is somehow still covering a lot of ground when he opens it up, although he's probably slower than some other guys to hit that 5th gear.

I dont think he is faster than Shaheed, but I think Simons point with Shavers is that he has speed to be used as a downfield guy and we don't even try, just like we are not really trying with Samuel or Moore (who as faster or faster), just like we didn't really try with MVS or Harty last year (also 2 guys as fast or faster who were productive deep weapons while in NO just like Shaheed, but not here)

He’s right 

 

Josh Allen is a generational talent, we probably won’t see a qb as good as him play in Buffalo the rest of our lifetimes…. To act like you don’t have a unique opportunity because you have Josh Allen is purely moronic

Curtis samuel ran a 4.31 at the combine. After all the leg ailments, getting older, and the punishment that comes with being in the league for 7 years, I suspect his 40 time is a good bit slower these days.

 

I wish the NFL had an equivalent of baseball savant data.   But it's in the best interest of the NFL for fans to not know how rapidly most players "track skills" decline.  I doubt Curtis could crack 4.55 on the track at this point.   His 10 yard split would probably be why.  He makes that hanna barbera spinning feet sound effect when he's trying to accelerate from a stop.

[quincy]

Wonder how the media will respond to zero trade deals being done, will they feel that standing pat was best or whether Buffalo should have gotten a DL or WR?

 

I think that Dremont Jones and Shaheed would have been useful for the Bills as they are multi position players and Codrington could have been cut.

 

Can we really win it all by seemingly refusing to throw to our boundary receivers in the postseason? 

 

We have one genuine 1TDT who is injured and we have a rookie, ex PED guy and a ex PS guy as DT's and we will probably have to call up Mathis again in Miami.

If that sound pops in my head when I see Samuel on Sunday, I am going to cuss you out good.

I love that saying; it totally justifies all my bad intentions.

Could it get any funnier? Maybe there is a very long clearance process to get access to the facility. So easier to get guys in that are already cleared to enter the building. 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Im more annoyed that we didn’t add defensive reinforcements. Buffalo doesn’t use their WRs.

Differing philosophies of how to get there for sure.

 And I called for some sincere tweaks to Defense this season. Maybe even a scheme change !

 BTW I think we all want the same thing around here

The older you are, they more we want the SB.

 

 Before we die would be nice 😇

I understand what you are saying here but not all 31 teams are in the same place or have the same needs 

 

Buffalo is in their Super Bowl window, for some reason it appears Brandon and his front office think Josh will always be this version of Josh so they can “take their time” 

 

the clock has been ticking and the assumptions the staff makes are just mind blowing. The way Josh plays the game, you cannot expect he is gonna be this level into his mid 30’s. You need to start capitalizing now, not 5 years from now. Now, even if that means an overpayment or mortgage some of the future. I’m shocked Brandon can’t figure that out by now 

No but the Bills were one of many teams trying to acquire a WR. 2 guys got dealt so that’s the value that we know. I would have paid that price for Shaheed but Denver didn’t, New England didn’t, Bills didn’t, Baltimore didn’t, etc.. Seattle did. All of those teams should be considered contenders. 

 

Again, I would have paid that price but no NFL GM did.

My ten year old grandson compared to my 8 year old, and his brother.

Ten year old looks slow with his long gait. Till you see the other "fast " kids chasing him down the sideline.

 

But I am not buying it with Shavers , cuz I have not seen it from him 

[Clyde Smith]

We are still good. This game we can still roll out Palmer and possibly Davis. Taron and DaQuan should be back also. As long we stay healthy, we can beat the best of them.

Shaheed is another WR3.  He was really hyped here - but we have a roster full of WR3's.

 

This is the rub. You either think he was Better than what we already have. Of Not.

 

I hope beyond words that   the lack  of a deep field stretching threat doesn't derail our season  as is feared by so many . So I get both sides of this

 

It is Superbowl Victory or BUST  this Season. The urgency . I get it.

 

Having said that please Please PLEASE I pray we do win the Lombardi this season

 

The weeping and gnashing of teeth if not will be insufferable . and this banter of Beane suckage will be LOUD after his inactivity today

 

Lord have Mercy.
