Beane Talks WR’s from Trade Deadline

They lie plenty.  

But you seem to interpret what they said as the roster doesn't need to be improved.  Clearly they didn't mean that - Pegula threw Coleman under the bus.

 

They are trying to frame the narrative as McD drove a defensive heavy focus (could be true).  Now they want to collaborate on an offensive focus -which coincidentally will help prop up their franchise QB and generate a ton of excitement.

 

We know what the Bills’ plan was because we got fed the “everybody eats” crap early and often. Before the new league year even started we heard it from the media most closely tied to them. Heck, Wegman’s had tee shirts with that printed on it. So that told us that they were going to make do at WR and prioritize other positions. Then when they didn’t work out Beane tried to add a WR. That didn’t work out either.

 

Now whether that direction came from a shared vision, McDermott or Beane, we don’t know for sure. But I agree that indications are that we will see a pivot to more of a prioritization of offense. Fingers crossed that Beane can pull it off - and quickly.

This reminds me of Aaron Rodgers constantly sending little hints that GB needed to invest in WR. As soon as he was gone they started drafting them high. 

 

IMO all this sunshine blitz is because the team knows the Brady hire was not popular, nor was keeping Beane. That sets up a scenario where Beane is going to want to make something big happen to get people excited and on board fully.

Honestly, it's over and time to move on.  I was as annoyed as anyone when he didn't acquire anyone at the deadline, but it's all now about next season.  Beane has every chance now to get it right, and if he doesn't it's time for him to go.  Looking back is pointless.

[Doc Brown]

I do think he's being honest and tried as he was in the exact same position the previous season when he traded for Cooper.  The problem is he shouldn't have been in that position to begin with.  Let alone twice.

With any of the WR's are we in the super bowl this week? I think yes. We at least win that Denver game. Highly confident we could have beat the Pats the following week. 

 

We def need to bring in more WR help.  But we scored 30 after 3 fumbles, a poorly under thrown INT by Josh and ref screw job on a 2nd INT.  Our issue wasn't one of those WR's not being here, it was execution everywhere else.  Not to mention McDs 2 dumb decisions to leave backups on an island for Payton to take advantage of on their first snaps into the game.

Regarding receivers, Beane is what his record says he is.

Would have helped win the game end of regulation and in OT. A few plays and a few plays there with a different WR and we win.

I dont disagree with you, but we were only in OT because Josh fumbled at the half in the most egregious and unnecessary ever in post season history or our FG wins the game instead of OT.  Not to mention Cooks costly fumble and the other turnovers, ref screw jobs, and McD blunders.

Cook isn’t elite? Benford? His draft record is much better than your ilk give him credit for. Go ahead, shout “Elam” at the top of your lungs. Think McD had any input in that?
 

I am truly sick and tired of the fans who think they know what’s in Beane’s head or the ins and outs of what he has done to try and improve this roster.

AFC East WR mentioned is either Wilson or Waddle.  Very likely Waddle

 

Perhaps Beane revisits that close to the draft? Miami has a new GM I believe

 

although I would prefer we aim higher than Waddle. It was reported supposedly Miami wanted our 2026 1st but Beane had offered our 2027 1st.  Beane claims there was never a counter offer 

 

if we could get Waddle for a 2nd, I’d do that

 

Some of Beane’s comments are a bit surprising to me and more transparent than usual.

 

IMO he knows he has to make big moves

I said at the time and I maintain, I think Beane had a deal basically in place with the Miami GM for Waddle. I think Grier went to ownership with the trade and rather than let him go through with it they fired Grier. There were other reasons, but I think that broke the camels back. Then the interm GM came in and just didn't go further with it. 

[Blank Stare]

Second time (at least) he’s failed to push his chips in when we’ve needed him to (see Von Miller and OBJ to the Rams to carry them to a championship). This, combined with the Ty Dunne interview, makes me seriously question him. For years, it’s been McD doesn’t have the chops to take us there, now there’s nowhere for Beane to hide. 

[TheFunPolice]

I think Beane will try, but teams aren't just going to help him out. He's going to need to pay big. 

 

So, if it doesn't work out expect Coleman to be hyped as the WR addition. Brady is the best thing that ever happened to him, remember. I suppose NOW he will coach him, whereas as OC he let him rot for 2 seasons after apparently (according to Brady) being THE guy pounding the table for him. 

 

None of it makes sense, which usually means at least one major part is untrue.

Oh, don’t be dumb. You know what I’m talking about. Some folks apparently believe Beane’s an idiot who purposely ignores things that would make the Bills better.

i mean that completely unironically.  look at my avatar for crying out loud!

[Don Otreply]

Said this in another thread, not using / miss use of available personnel was a constant problem with Sean at the helm, imo, he was always protecting his defense to the detriment of the defense and of even greater results of the offense / the team, imo, I think unleashing both the offense and defense is the official goal of Joe Brady and his staff, god I hope so 🤞🤞🤞🤞

This should be an interesting offseason with FA and the draft.  Need upgrades at WR 1 and WR 2. Need to fix the defense especially the front 7. 

 

The difference this year is McDermott got fired. Beane knows he is next if the roster doesn't improve.

Are you implying that Beane could be let go if things do not change this season? I find that VERY hard to believe after receiving a promotion and hiring the new head coach. There is almost zero chance he is anywhere but here for the next few seasons unless the Bills completely crater.

Kind of difficult to buy what he is selling about the WR position at this point. He's lost all credibility until proven otherwise after years of mismanagement and the WGR meltdown.

I dont know why this board refuses to acknowledge common sense & hindsight regarding the WGR thing.

 

A. For all we know he was over ruled on draft allocation at the position. If true, that'd be a pretty huge reason to have a very atypical reaction to that call. 

 

---> hes in full agreement, and arguing behind the scenes about exactly this.... he's forced to devils advocate against his own belief live on air. It boiled over 

 

B. Dude stuck up for his currently on the roster players in public. Praise in front of media, criticize behind closed door. Not even necessarily for the player, but for rest of locker room.

 

Hes supposed to hear radio dorks blasting his 2nd year highest pick, in f***** May, after a successful first half season, that got derailed before injury... and hes supposed to jump on board and agree. Looking 2 faced to his player, his lockeroom and the rest of the NFL? Thats now 31 other teams players who have that perception of you.

 

That how organizations like Cleveland,  nyj and arz operate. 

 

But hey if you think the more rational explanation is neither A nor B + believe a successful NFL GM was stoked about that WR room during a SB window, have at it. Youre so much smarter then him, cause you listen to Joe Marinos podcast once a month.

I've long said that the expectations some folks on this forum have for everyone involved with the team are insane. I swear some of them would scream at Slick Rick in the mailroom for not having the right kinda stamps.

Was the other in division wr Garrett Wilson?
