Coach Tuesday

The Bills had their starting cornerback tandem and starting wide receiver tandem in place for the forseeable future. Now they've torpedoed the depth on those units in favor of draft picks which they will use to chase players at those same positions who have a very good chance of not being nearly as good as the players they're replacing. That is the definition of stupidity.

Some great posts in this thread.

Sounds like a really good dude, I wish him well, regardless of his reasons.

Here's the thing: my theory is that Pegula signed off on the trades only after securing promises from McBean that they'd be competitive this year, regardless. I'm almost certain of it, and that's why Beane reacted so strongly to questions about "tanking." But we know that that promise, assuming it was made, was ludicrous: the Bills most certainly are not going to be competitive this year. Which will make for an interesting situation between Beane and Pegula, if I'm right. Put it this way - which is scarier, that they're secretly tanking? Or that they actually believe they'll be competitive this year? The second one, obviously...

Yup. Well said.

As the game moves towards a passing-oriented league, the Bills again try to outsmart everyone else...

Ok, but remember last week when Beane gave interviews saying, in substance, we wouldn't sign Boldin if we were tanking? Beane is already running out of rope.

Ragland for Coates actually makes sense for both squads.

Yes, he was. This place is insane.

Seriously. How many dipschidts is Terry going to fall for? BRING IN A CZAR ALREADY.

What? He was the FOURTH receiver in Philly.

McBean came in and, despite their already thin margin for error, made it even harder for themselves right off the bat. For no reason.

This thread sucks and your spelling sucks.

This is hilarious.

Clearly he meant "heil"...

The time to pick a QB high was last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and basically every year for the past 20 years.

Yeah - maybe next year the Bills will draft a QB. Or not? After all, I'm sure they'll fall in love with a cornerback-safety combo for their two #1s. So maybe 2019? The Bills are playing checkers while the rest of the league is playing chess. Hell, the Bills are in the corner eating paste, watching the Browns play checkers.

He can't spell "heal." He spelled it wrong four - FOUR - times today. I mean, whatever your political views are, that has to get to you a little bit. He's an ape. Hell, I bet there are apes that can spell "heal." Freakin' Joe Six Pack probably can spell it, even.

McD and Bean already are indicating that they're in way over their heads. Trading away the best player on the team a few weeks before the season was an insane move - even if justified from a business perspective (and I'd argue it wasn't), you can't underestimate the psychological impact it has on Tyrod and the rest of the team. McD couldn't afford that kind of crisis. It was a huge mistake. On the field I see no evidence of a coherent or sensible plan on offense. The lack of discipline suggests the players have NOT bought in despite what we hear. This season is gearing up to be another mess.

McD and Dennison forcing Tyrod to run a timing offense is similar to Rex dropping Dareus into coverage.

Streater updates? I hardly know 'er!

That is a stupid thing to debate. There are two hundred plus years of Supreme Court jurisprudence that carefully and, in my view, appropriately outline the limits of the First Amendment (including, specifically, where protected speech crosses over into direct incitements of violence). There is no societal value added from having subhumans and sociopaths debate each other about that well-settled issue on the flea-infested taint of a football message board. And in any event, it's an entirely separate issue from what the role of the President of the United States should be when speaking about such divisive issues during divisive times like these...

I wasn't referring to you... but... Suspending their rights? Unilaterally? No. Nor do I think that's really what any of this has to do with.

So another thread with the same four unemployed idiots spouting the same drivel?

Do you think he's honest with his bosses about that? I don't. I think he hedges.
