I think Sal reported Nov 1st or the first week of Nov some time based on the number of weeks after the injury settlement. I think it has to be 8 weeks after the settlement.

I thought Whaley was one of our better GMs. He found players on the street and was creative with trades. His downfall was the coaching changes. If the rookie owners stayed out of it he might have had a chance. He was also drafting for a different scheme every two years and that is impossible.

That was the gutsiest call of the game IMO and a huge play.

I was not calling anyone specific out, just general comments to the poster about keeping quiet and not clicking the locked links. Why are you jumping to the conclusion I am calling SDS out? I was not aware of the location for site feedback however it is also important to note I am also not the one who posted the topic. If there is a site feedback location it sounds as if TwoBillsDrive and I are on the same page. Where you are is anyone's guess.

If I ran TwoBillsDrive I would not be upset to hear from customers on what they would like to see in the site. If you are yelling at this poster to just not click the Buffalo News links and go somewhere else, then you clearly don't understand the benefits of customer feedback. Like many of you I really like the forums and that is why I come to TwoBillsDrive. I don't click the articles at all. Not because I don't want to pay but because I believe the Buffalo News writers aren't worth paying for at any price. I would not click them if they were free. Reading the Buffalo News you learn very little about the Bills IMO. There are other writers that teach you about the intricacies of the Bills offense/defense and organization as a whole that i would much rather see linked on this site. We are an educated fan base, the materials posted on a great site like TwoBillsDrive should reflect that IMO.

How can we possibly accept these grades when he doesn't know what the players responsibility is on each play? What are his qualifications? Watching the Bills? Don't we have that covered? I don't want to be a hypocrite, I listen to Joe B for updates but I would not make personnel moves based on his grades or PFFs.

I think it is a tear down, not a tank. Baby Beane wants out from under Gettelman's shadow so he is getting rid of Whaley's players so in a few years he can say he did it all himself. If it comes to it and he finds a way to get rid of any of Tyrod, Dareus or Glenn our cap is going to be in disarray. This board will torch him for all the dead cap money and situation. Also - draft capital doesn't just have to be used on draft picks.

What makes them open on All 22? because they run away from the defender, or cut their route three yards short of the first down, go outside when the read is inside? Armchair All 22 is ridiculous

Very well put

Thank you for pointing this out. You are exactly right. All bonus money hits the cap immediately if moved. Post June 1st is a cut not trade scenario and has nothing to do with this post. I wish your post was second on this topic to squash this, A better topic would be just what Bean is doing to the cap. If people were to investigate next year's cap is not nearly as rosey as it was previously stated.

People are forgetting how bad Groy was last preseason at Guard. He played very well at Center for Wood but as a guard he was terrible. If everyone is this mad at Beane for the WR debacle, wait until we start to analyze what he is doing to our cap with trades and cuts. So much dead cap will be on the books the next two years.

You are assuming all of these are unforced errors. So Eddie Yarborough's pressure on Simien for INT #2 doesn't mean anything? Von Miller wasn't peeved about getting to Taylor a second late due to a good blocking scheme? Recognition by the punt return team of different personnel to stop the fake. Lastly haven't you seen enough Leodis McKelvin dropped INTs to know you still have to catch the ball? Let's give the Bills a little credit can't we?

What is the big deal with Jin Kelly giving his opinion to the radio station? Lesean voiced his, why can't JK? Like anyone's opinion you take it or leave it, who cares? It also seems to me that JK didn't like THE WAY Lesean was protesting, not that he was protesting. I kind of agree. Kneeling and/or holding arms stands for something around current challenges. Stretching, flipping through your phone, or counting your benjamins, is disrespectful to the other 60, 70 or 80% of the fabric of this nation people might be proud of, even Lesean.

McCoach believes otherwise though

You mean 3rd round pick

Have you heard of the franchise tag????? The CBA protects against this. This terrible argument keeps getting thrown out there.

I think it is a mistake to take the statement that they don't set the edge as gospel. All of those extended arms by the outside guys are edge set contain moves. What do we do against it? I don't think you have to look farther than Witten's stat line 10 - 97 - 1 TD. That is a 35 yr. old TE averaging almost 10 yards a reception. We are going to have to have both TEs slipping out and catching short passes. With great blocking by the WRs that could be a way to move the ball. Rolling out Tyrod on these plays could help as well. It is nice that we were able to get film of them stopping the run against Dallas. Now we will see what this coaching staff can do with it.

I read through this to get an update on his injury. I had not idea the insanity was going off the rails like this. What a nice look at Cordy Glenn's contract in isolation that was but you better take a bigger look at what Beane is doing to our cap before you start adding more dead money by cutting our LT.

I am a Buffalo native living in Denver and I can tell you that playing here is the biggest home field advantage in sports. Stats to back it up - 2nd best home winning % since 1970 to the Steelers. That being said Von Miller is going to have his way with Jordan Mills. I will never consider him one of the best because he rushes over the RT but it seems to work for them. I'm hoping we roll out left all game to make plays. Siemian is a really accurate QB as well. He is better than people give him credit for. All in all I am really glad we are playing this in Buffalo and I think that is the only reason we have a shot.

Zay trips over the foot of the CB which doesn't help the route but I am wondering how Tyrod throws that any better WITHOUT the zone corner getting a hand on it? It is a corner route not a sideline route. Tyrod throws to the space doesn't he? It is also important to note that Tyrod let's it go way before Zay turns his head. 30 yd throws are low percentage and I think we understand why today. I just don't think it is accurate to say it was a horrible throw under those conditions.

OFFENSE - McCoach's knowledge of the personnel certainly can't hurt however even if he knows every play in their offensive playbook it won't help unless he knows their game plan this week. DEFENSE - Advanced knowledge of the personnel should help McCoach and Dennison game plan and isolate the weaker links in the Carolina defense.

I guess that was more smoke up our butts from the current regime if muzzling Whaley is the case. We will see how long it takes before the Buffalo media vultures start tearing into Beane, the easy target that he is.

What happened to one face to the franchise and McD being it? Beane is getting in front of the camera/radio all the time. I see a bit of an ego there trying to get out from under the shadow of Gettelman where he has been for years. He is going to rid this team of every Whaley asset over the next couple of years so he can tell the world "I did it 100%". I hope he is right but I don't think he is going about it the right way. Any asset Beane inherited he is responsible for. A close watch will be on to see how many of the jettisoned Bills play well this year. Draft picks are hit or miss and he is counting on filling a lot of holes with those 10 picks next year.

Does it matter that Beane didn't draft Ragland? All new GMs inherit assets and if you trade them away for less than they are worth (or perceived worth) you are still making that mistake, You are making the decision to set the organization back.

Exactly right. Why people are saying Whaley made mistakes and not factoring in that he had to manage this landscape is beyond me.
