clearwater cadet Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Which is why change is neccesary. So your theory is that the Bills suck because people hate being Bills fans? We are one of the most loyal fan bases in the NFL, no big surprise that there are vocal, negative fans on a team message board. You were right the first time... People from Boston are bad. Can we just hope for the best instead of putting a negative spin on everything.
Rocky Landing Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 So you want to intentionally hate on the guy because you don't think Whaley was given a fair chance? Odd. The funnier thing is that if you didn't see the sarcasm in my post, it doesn't actually matter.
H2o Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Every time I come to this site, someone is crying or whining about something This is the world we live in *Phil Collins voice*
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Can we just hope for the best instead of putting a negative spin on everything.many of us can.
Thrivefourfive Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Every time I come to this site, someone is crying or whining about something You're right.. There's just so much to be positive about! No offense, but think 3/4 of the fan base is silly delusional by now, including myself.
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 The funnier thing is that if you didn't see the sarcasm in my post, it doesn't actually matter.Sorry, too many people around here making ridiculous comments, it broke my sarcasm filter. In my defense, others took it for genuine negativity as well.
r00tabaga Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 In classic Yeezus fashion, this thread will go 30 pages....you watch
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I work for a large engineering company and it works like this 75% of the time. If a new Plant Manager or GM is hired at a plant...they bring people with them they know and trust. They are comfortable working with them.... Dude we're not building freaking toasters here.
Augie Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Dude we're not building freaking toasters here. But they are building a team. THAT is very important. Will it work? Be ideal? We will know more in a few years. Let's hope we are rolling, and not starting over.
Yav Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Shouldn't this thread get moved to that cry baby thread? Mods? Hello! Is this thing on?
John from Riverside Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 A Yeezus sighting. Big news of the day. Oh lordy
apuszczalowski Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 And once again we realize the Bills would a much better team if only the owner let message board fans run the front office. Dammit, Pegs! These people can complete full sentences! And even log in properly! Why aren't you putting them in charge of your GM search?!?!? Sweet fancy Moses, you people are nuts. No they can't
DC Tom Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Interviewing only 3 people? And ending up going with the guy who the head coach pretty much told the Owner to hire. What kind of team structure is Pegula running here? is this a joke? What NFL team lets a rookie HC run the entire team? Pegula is either going to strike gold here or plummet harder than when he hired Rex. If this doesn't work out he will go from beloved savior owner to on par with Dan Snyder as a complete fraud. Once again the Bills prove they don't know how to conduct a proper search for a GM. Good luck the Brandon Beane b/c he sure as hell will need it. You are crayonz back when crayonz was crayonz. You. Are. AWESOME.
yungmack Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Ahh, the old "but we're in the Pats Division!" whine. Somehow since the start of the Pats dynasty (2001 season), the Jets have made the playoffs in: 2001 2002 2004 2006 2009 2010 They were, in fact, all wild card appearances, but remember: they got a wild card even though they played the Pats twice every year! And the Dolphins? 2001 2008 2016 I stand by my comment that, for once, the statement that "any idiot could have done better" is literally true here. We do have a full inventory from which to chose.
JimKellyTryouts Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I'm in the minority but side with the OP, regardless of 3 vs 4 interviews or this thread dedicated to bashing those that bash. This felt underwhelming and predictable, and whether or not that's a bad thing is to be determined. Youth, energy, versatility, and attention to detail are all positives in our new HC and GM and it's refreshing compared to what we've recently seen, especially with two guys pulling the rope in the same direction. With that exact reason, I'm sure many more candidates weren't swayed to interview with us due to an arranged marriage with our HC. I recall the colts having at least twice as many as us with all the 'big' names that pop up on the mundane articles, but a similar dilemma. I just couldn't help but wonder why. Maybe it's just me preferring a larger quantity to show larger initiative. Beane's second interview reported before Gutekunst's first was just odd timing and rather quickly after the Rooney rule.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Yep. McDermott is GM I don't care what the title says. Sabres GM took longer...cause that GM will actually be making the calls. Beane is a glorified scout Actually, were that to be true, we would be in big trouble as Beane has little scouting background as I understand it
Just in Atlanta Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 All fine and dandy. But the real question is, when is Beane going to be fired?

I don't feel there's a specific number of people who must be interviewed for a search to be "legit", but I didn't feel that this search met the sniff test. I felt they were set on hiring Beane and just wanted to pick a few brains or see if there was someone who really lit them up as being a better choice.
klos63 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Are there any experts in here on hiring an NFL GM? IF so, who should they have hired and why? Pegula said there would be a thorough search, that obviously wasn't done. I think that's the basis for the criticism. How many of us could have predicted this choice? Pretty much everyone.
