Coach Tuesday

Not gloating at all - some folks are just bad at evaluating players and they should stop trying to do it from their couches.

Peterman supporters: please disembowel yourselves.

McBeane are going to be out of job soon.

If there are fans who are willing to swallow this as “rebuilding,” please announce yourselves - I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

The fans aren’t ready.

You can say that again.

Peterman decides where he is going pre-snap and there ain’t nothin that’s gonna make him change his mind. He’s terrible.

I don’t think the fans are ready for what’s going to go down this season.

One other important difference - McD was hand-picked by the owner and reports to him. That has many consequences, some of them good, some of them disturbing...

He is being analytical and making a reasoned prediction. You get worked up here every week about that.

No need to be defensive. He is presenting cogent arguments that bother you because you want the team to succeed like the rest of us. Fans don’t have to be blind.

It’s possible the Bengals did them a huge favor. It’s our only hope.

Those dudes were both on one-year contracts which the Bills chose not to renew - they were hardly "replacements" for elite young talent.

WR and CB are two of the weakest positions on the team - which is not a coincidence, since Watkins and Darby were shipped out with no replacements brought in. I am extremely unimpressed with the roster-building decisions of Beane & Co. to date.

Well said - though your tune has changed somewhat re: the Bills, you seem to be getting more skeptical of what Beane and McD bring to the table. Which I agree with - Beane has shown very little ability to scout pro personnel to date, and his roster-building decisions are mind-boggling to me. But you really hit at the core issue, which is that the Pegulas continue to hire unproven executives to "run" their teams, which executives keep running those teams right into the ground. They have some kind of ingrained allergy to bringing in experienced team presidents and GMs, and it's the reason their teams suck so badly. It might be different if the Pegulas themselves had experience running sports teams, but they don't - yet they refuse to hand the reigns over to folks who actually know what they're doing. I'm not optimistic about the Bills, although you're right it's too soon to grade. I see a roster with one aging playmaker, a bunch of middling vets, and very little young, up-and-coming depth. I see an offense totally bereft of skilled players and a defense that doesn't look well-constructed to stop the run - something that became a serious concern at the end of last season (not coincidentally after Dareus was shipped out for a song). And I question whether the fans are really prepared to stomach a 2-4 win season which seems likely at this point - and whether the fans' ire will make its way up to the owner's box, as it inevitably does, creating serious pressure on Beane & Co. to spend big in free agency next year. As we know, that rarely works out in the long run...

They are still waiting to see whether Davis rises from the dead...

Keeping Tyrod wouldn't have created a serious QB controversy anymore than it is in Cleveland.

You understand there is a difference between rooting for a team and predicting its success, right?

I remember hearing this about Fitz when he was jettisoned for no reason - he too would've been a good veteran insurance policy at the QB position. I doubt it's the fans' fault that the FO can't get its act together to formulate sound strategic plans. More likely they're just incompetent.

Bills get first pick in the 2019 draft, select either Bosa or Oliver... https://www.footballoutsiders.com/ramblings/2018/2018-staff-predictions

Uh if it’s his “dream job” he’d do well not to trash his former employer in a hit piece like this...

Dude your TAKES! Thousands of mis-posts, like thousands of weathervanes pointing in the exact wrong direction. You know, because you’re one of those kinds of fans - just admit it.

Thank you - was gonna say - right thread wrong player. There are still folks here who are fine with letting a HOF left tackle walk because he tried to leverage a few million dollars more out of a cheap owner. But that’s another issue, Bills fans’ resentment of well-paid athletes of a certain ilk..,

Hired two rookie GMs and paid the price. Fired them both and hired... two more rookie GMs. They are killing me.
