Conversation with A Bills Executive

[thenorthremembers]

If the guy is an executive in the football area he is a part of the mess and his opinion means very little.

 

If he is an executive outside of the football operation his opinion on the football side of things means even less.

Come on man, I talk to Bills front office executives all the time, don't you?

I’m 50/50 that there was no executive involved 

Reminds me of a story that my boss, who is now a hotel mogul, likes to tell. In 1996, he was working the front desk of a hotel owned by his father. He was in college and starting to feel his oats a bit. A guest called down and said, "I need an Executive Decision."

My boss thought, I'm the owner's son, I can handle this, and said, "Sure sir, I can make an Executive Decision for you, what do you need?

 

The guest responded, "No, you idiot, I'm trying to buy the Kurt Russell movie "An Executive Decision" and it won't come through on the pay-per-view box in my room.

To the OP.....perhaps the bills "plan" is to not be good this year and get into the premium picks with 10 picks in hand?

 

This could TOTALLY be the case.....and a "executive with the bills" would know that

This is another BS post! The same old "I want it now" and they got beat bad so I am throwing a temper tantrum!

it sure doesn't seem like there is an actual plan for Allen.

OK, you on your bat phone?

Jaraxxus and Lurker did you really feel you needed to make that point.  If you don't like what the poster is saying just move on.  I get tired of people making comments towards posters who do the classy thing and don't throw people under the bus.  If you don't want to believe it that's your call but no one needs to hear it.  It makes people not want to report information.  Last year I had a good conversation with Brandon Spikes and I didn't throw his name out there and got bashed when I passed some of the things I learned from him along that I thought were interesting.  Guess what, it will never happen again.  I spoke with an insider with the Panthers who is very close to Beane and McDermott a few weeks back but those conversations I had will now stay close to the vest.  Thanks COTC, appreciate you passing things along.

Where do these people come from and what is happening to this board?

Judging by the off-season oline additions I think tanking must be the plan.

  The 5 year 50 mil contract to Star however, makes me think that maybe these guys just don't know what they are doing. Regardless of if it was planned, with the worst o line and wr corps in the league and a sieve of a defense, the Bills will almost certainly have a top 5 pick in next year's draft.

Yeah. Just trying to share what I heard. Obviously this is nothing breaking, just a thought of an exec with the Bills. 

 

Really shows the disfunction. 

 

I don’t think They are not happy with Beane or McD. 

 

I appreciate it when people share in good faith.

 

Thanks.

This morning, I had a conversation with a Bills Executive, who wishes to remain anonymous. This was his thought on the game and general status of the team. 

 

“Allen showed composure. I like some of the movement under Dabol.

 

The free agents, o-line and peterman are a waste.

 

Tampa 2,3 zone 8 yards back made Flacco look like Montana. This is what happens when a insecurity replaces judgement in turning over roster.

 

Darby for Jordan Matthews. Marcel for a 5th, Watkins, Tyrod and Glenn for picks never selected. Coleman cut Even Benjamin for a third looked like a bust.

 

Let's just hope I am overreacting and next week we rebound against a team flying west to east. Last night, on a podcast,  Mel Kiper predicted the Bills to have the worst record in football, losing their first 8. Let's hope not.

 

There is no plan for Allen, however, will now remain the starter”

Why are people saying they talked to someone, but they won't tell you what they said.

 

I can only understand it if you talked to your therapist, and you won't tell me what he said. Otherwise

say nothing,  just say nothing.

What mess.  Oh the one from the last front office they are dealing with.  Look a lot of the players from the last regime didn't fit what they are doing.  50 mil in dead money.  One starting OL forced to retire another lost his mind   I remained optimistic but I'm also realistic.  Some people are just not as logical as others I guess.  Maybe you thought we were going to the Superbowl or something. 

This season for me will be watching our young people so develop.

Who was the executive? Was it amomimus?

OK - so who is above them to be unhappy?  Sounds like BS IMO.

Whether or not McBeane was strategizing to tank this year and be in a terrific position to use their accumulated draft picks

to maximum advantage, it's a great idea IMHO.

If the next few games are as disastrous as the last, it will certainly cross their minds, if it has't already.

 

I don't give them that much credit though.........

Beane is a good draft guy, McDermott is just a rah rah guy with limited coaching skill, again IMHO.

That was my thought. But can Chadwick or Dunkirk confirm this?

Sure does not sound like an Executive speaking here.  Especially the criticizing line about the trades and the part about no plan for Allen.   Maybe he talked to the Director of Food Services or something else not football related. 

 

I will admit I was puzzled by Buffalo playing a fairly deep zone in the rain, especially when Baltimore was in man coverage and slowing our receivers up at the line of scrimmage.  McD was completely out coached in this one and coaching was as big a part of this ugly result as was the play of Peterman or the OL.
