1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 undeniable suckiness was evident all over the field. it's a tie between all 11 misfits on offense.

Domdab99 Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I have no problem with trading Sammy; I just thought they would've replaced him with someone half-way decent by now. 2
BullBuchanan Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Drafting Bosa is a lose-lose. If he busts, he busts and you could have traded down. If he becomes elite you have to pay him $30 million a year and you have to let him walk in his prime. Trade down all day every day. 1
The Wiz Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Benjamin has a signature move when running straight up field and he is going to get called for OPI a bunch in the future. He can't outrun the defender and when he gets to where the ball needs to be he pushes off the defender. Should have been called twice today but wasn't. He's not fast enough to run a streak route.

He was fired because he was spending like a drunken sailor and bet the farm on guys that weren't committed. They topped out at 8-8 essentially on his watch. But McBeane haven't built much of anything in 2 off-seasons, aside from trade up 4 times in 2 drafts and have little depth. Their UFA decisions aside from Hyde and Poyer are abysmal and they've placed too much emphasis on people who buy into the system than individual talent. Coach McD better get more flexible or he'll be processing his way out of town by the end of 2019. Whaley was fired because he lost the power struggle with McDermott that developed as the team was preparing for the draft. My guess is it was a decision by the owners because McDermott was picked by them while Whaley was not only Brandon's guy but he had also been involved in a power struggle with Doug Marrone in 2014 which may have led to Marrone leaving after that season.

I thought Whaley was fired because 1) he made the Pegulas and Bills look bad in that infamous post-Rex-firing presser. I think Wawrow put it pretty bluntly, saying something like ‘before, he had a future with the team, after, he did not’ 2) McDermott won the Pegulas over and stipulated bringing in his own GM as part of the deal (what he meant by “the Pegulas have ensure that I’m comfortable with the situation” during his intro presser) But yes, the excuse that the whole roster needed to be gutted and rebuilt is wearing thin when we look at the contributions of players they have chosen to spend draft picks or money on. 3

EJ Gaines isn't on the team, and that 2nd round pick hasn't proven to he worth anything. And we sit here with no receivers who can get separation. It's not romanticizing it's an opinion. 21 minutes ago, BuffaloRush said: Funny because shipping out Sammy and trading for Benjamin happened months apart. One was not related to the other That's why I wrote it the way I did. I know Darby went for Matthews and a 3rd and Sammy went for Gaines and a 2. And that we shipped out a 3rd for Benjamin who has done nothing. But I see you're grasping at straws here because you're completely wrong. People were thrilled with all of those moves and our WRs have been awful ever since. You made an awful post, move on with it. Don't stalk me. I've got my fair share of them too. 8 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I thought Whaley was fired because 1) he made the Pegulas and Bills look bad in that infamous post-Rex-firing presser.

This is spot on. Damn it Whaley, he didn't spend like a drunken sailor he just mumbled like one in front of cameras. 1

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 1 hour ago, BuffaloRush said: Post game Bills Beat podcast. Joe and Matt really hammer this team for a dreadful performance. IMO the best part is around 21:00 when Fairburn says that Benjamin was the worst player on the field. He mentions the huge deals the WR’s got in the off-season and how Benjamin looked unmotivated today. He had 1 catch on 7 targets which is not good. He said if Benjamin is the #1 WR, then the Bills don’t have a #1 WR. Pretty much . This is one thing I don't like about Beane is bringing in former Players that haven't been great. I know it's human nature but most times it's best to leave emotions out.

fridge Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I genuinely don’t know how to judge anyone on offense. It was raining, on the road, against a top defense and we were so impressively bad at every position that I can’t prioritize my concern. It was just all bad.

Boatdrinks Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 3 minutes ago, BuffaloRush said: “Leave the emotions out.” Too bad 75% Of Bills fans cant do that To be fair, that’s for the people running the team. Fans don’t make a damn bit of difference as to who plays, who gets drafted, who gets signed etc. if fans weren’t emotional they wouldn’t be fans.
LABILLBACKER Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 KB dropped 2 today including the perfect td pass from Josh. Logan dropped one. The OL/WR corp will have to be completely rebuilt. And it may take 2 years.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 1 hour ago, GG said: It’s a close call, but have to agree. He was dreadful. He was awful but not nearly as bad as Peterout. KB was bad. Nate was historically bad.

The Bills don't have a #1 Receiver Nor a #2 Nor a #3 Unless, you are talking about the Sunday Beer League! They can't catch, run routes, get separation- NO talent! Simply trash, you'd rank in the 60th best in the league. We have the worst OL & WR's in the NFL. And a promising rookie QB. What could possibly go wrong?
