GunnerBill Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I trust them. They have made a call and a big, big one too. Ultimately the next 12 months is either going to make this franchise..... or send us back from the brink of competing over the last 3 years to absolute irrelevance.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 They started slowly but then tapered off.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 This is a Patriots type move. The Patriots in consecutive seasons traded Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins in contract years. Winning Super Bowls by the dozen gives you a lot of mulligans.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 They're earning my trust gradually. Today was a big step in the right direction. I'm with you on this one. If they axe TT, then I'm going to be incredibly pleased. 8-8 is herpes. It's the formula this team's played for forever. CHANGE SOMETHING.
GETTOTHE50 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 With the stadium run around talk from pegula a couple weeks ago I wouldn't trust anyone down there right now. These moves seem strangely related to the ones that Chip Kelly Did when he got to Philadelphia. We know how well that worked out. yep. they got their franchise QB
zow2 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 After getting over the shock and awe...and some grieving. I have now flipped to thinking Beane may have just revolutionized how to wheel and deal in the modern NFL.. This young GM might be a F-in genius.
KellyToughII Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I figured they would use the whole season to evaluate talent. Apparently they are quicker than that. If McD and Beane know talent, we should trust them. There should be no half measures, TT and Shady should go and in two years we could have an amazing nucleus. YES I do
GETTOTHE50 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I'm with you on this one. If they axe TT, then I'm going to be incredibly pleased. 8-8 is herpes. It's the formula this team's played for forever. CHANGE SOMETHING. it needs to happen. I love McCoy too, but I'd hate to see him waste his final years on a losing team. trade him away for some picks too. embrace the tank.

These moves seem strangely related to the ones that Chip Kelly Did when he got to Philadelphia. We know how well that worked out. Yet, the players Chip moved were actually established.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Winning Super Bowls by the dozen gives you a lot of mulligans. It wasn't a mulligan. They won the Super Bowl. They didn't lose a step losing these players and they were All Pro.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 it needs to happen. I love McCoy too, but I'd hate to see him waste his final years on a losing team. trade him away for some picks too. embrace the tank. Full embrace. I want to intertwine myself in the tank. 0-16 would be wonderful at this point, and JUST as productive as 8-8.
The Wiz Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 To everyone caterwauling: Was Sammy going to take us to the promised land? How about Darby? Until the QB situation is resolved, these guys are like $10000 rims on a 1985 honda civic. Ford Taurus. Gotta keep it relevant to the bills.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Ford Taurus. Gotta keep it relevant to the bills. Word. You da man.
Dr. K Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 After these moves today, I absolutely do not trust these guys. All you guys who bitched and moaned about how bad a GM Whaley was? I think we are going to look back fondly on the personnel decisions in the Whaley era.
fergie's ire Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 In some ways, the Sammy trade makes more sense than the Darby trade. Sammy was probably in his last year...is an injury risk...so for the new group it might be best to move on. Though no need to rush to move on from Darby. The idea that they are tanking (or, at the least, stockpiling for the future) would make sense. But then why sign Boldin? Particularly to a one year deal? Makes me wonder if there is going to be a part B to this plan....like maybe they are setting up a trade for someone else.
Spiderweb Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I figured they would use the whole season to evaluate talent. Apparently they are quicker than that. If McD and Beane know talent, we should trust them. There should be no half measures, TT and Shady should go and in two years we could have an amazing nucleus. Or we could have another 17 years of mediocrity. Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk

But I don't distrust them either. It's certainly interesting when they trade away two of our best players. But I'll suspend judgment till I see more from them.
Dr. K Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I have no trust in these guys. It's all on them, whatever happens this year. I guess this is what you mean when you all for "blowing things up."
Mountain Man Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 After these moves today, I absolutely do not trust these guys. All you guys who bitched and moaned about how bad a GM Whaley was? I think we are going to look back fondly on the personnel decisions in the Whaley era. Life is better than settling for 8-8 every season.
