To think this started with: a song, orange juice, people following others on social media (who would ever think), and ALOT of information coming from random sources. This will end with @Warriorspikes51 and @IronMaidenBills blaming Beane for not pulling the trigger on this... meanwhile Beane is likely laughing at all the conjecture and will probably laugh it off at his next presser when asked about it. Critical thinking skills are lacking, instesd we have wishful thinking for days on here Add me to the angry mob with pitchforks if Beane doesn’t pull the trigger on this!!!

Imagine not getting another 1B WR when they are available. We need this.

You can't just say "Look, I'm a great GM so you're gonna join MY team and for THIS much money!". Also, the salary cap is a thing. If your post was sarcastic, then I apologize. It does seem over the top. 1

I just wanna say that this sounds hyperbolic but you're still more right than not. We've criminally under invested in an all time QB talent, because our coaching and front office philosophy is stuck in 1993. You have to lose assets now to atone for that error. This is the championship window. Even 2 years from now, no Diggs or Davis probably. Go win now 1

Majority of people were against it until they heard rumors Bills might be interested. Shouldn’t get your hopes up over rumors. How many times have we heard things like this about a player and nothing came of it. Almost every year Edited March 25, 2023 by GolfandBills

Taking in all the info and thinking critically has been thrown by the wayside in favor of pure emotion of just wanting him here. Don't try saying all could be true or we don't know what's true and what isn't. And don't dare try to imply the flight to Arizona could be for the Owner's Meeting this weekend in Arizona. Ian Rapaport who is as full proof as you can get just said 3 days ago that talks were heating up and now "no one else is interested"? Come on man. A trade is gonna happen. It might not be to the Bills or Chiefs but that is complete nonsense

You are way too invested in this idea (and that’s all it was/is, an idea.) Fire the guy on the spot, huh? Without knowing any of the demands or the course of the negotiations? Yeah sure. worst kind of Bills fan guy. Don’t mind saying it. 1

Fire the guy on the spot, huh? Without knowing any of the demands or the course of the negotiations? Yeah sure. worst kind of Bills fan guy. Don’t mind saying it. I guess you don’t want to win then, ok with just making the playoffs. Ok with getting spanked by KC or Cinci every year when it matters. Well I’m not ok with it and I’m not going to stand for it. Everyone here knows we need a better Oline and a better #2 WR for Allen. We are wasting him. It’s criminal negligence. I honestly feel bad for Allen that we have wasted so much capital on defense just to watch Allen squirm around and watch Diggs get doubled. Getting Hopkins proves to me that Beane gets it, and understands what is needed. Otherwise I will just lose total faith in management and that they don’t understand what is needed to win. 1
78thealltimegreat Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Like I said a few pages back it seems like DHOP would like to come here. Beane being the lousy GM he is figured it’s not worth the asking price and promptly returned to getting ready for the draft. Steve Tasker all but confirmed today this is all wishful thinking that’s good enough for me. Onto the draft. Where we know the first three players will be defense and we all know it.

Beanes track record proves otherwise. While I stand by my Breece Hall and Woolen looks better than what Beane has done. This message board could manage this team better as a whole. I’m not sure Beane has what it takes. Hopkins proves to me that he does and I’m willing to wait it out. 1

I don’t usually agree with you (except about music), but this is true. There is an arms race in the AFC and the Bills need to get in that game or they have to wait for two years for the Bengals and Jets to fall back. But by that time Diggs and Von will be gone. The time to load up is now. 1
