Brandon Beane should be Executive of the Year.

[Tipster19]

In all the aftermath I haven’t seen much talk about Beane. Specifically Rasul Douglas and now Harty have helped keep this thing going. I’m sure that there has been a few other plays/players that have contributed this year but those two in particular really stand out.

[MikePJ76]

All those awards for that kind of thing are going to end up in Detroit.  

[Beast]

I think that would probably go to the Houston GM or maybe even Cleveland’s.

[BBFL]

No need for coverage, he’s been doing what he should be doing; his job and done it for years, very well. It’s why we are a winner. 

[Tipster19]

Generally speaking I don’t know of another team that had more plug-n-plays than the Bills. It was getting nauseating hearing about all the injuries Miami has suffered. The Bills’ injuries happen long before and most, not all, seem to have forgotten about that, especially that it happened to so many star players for this team. I think Beane has outdid himself this year, it’s incredible how this team still keeps moving forward.

[Malazan]

Beane does a pretty good job at identifying those 2nd tier guys who can be contributors without breaking the bank.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Cleveland rebuilt their DT rotation in one season while bringing in Jim Schwartz to improve their defense to a top ranking.

Then he finds Flacco on a couch. 

 

Best thing to happen to Cleveland though was Watson getting hurt(And of of ocurse Joe Burrow). He was terrible except one game against Tenn and one half against the Ravens.

Harty had one meaningful play all year. Granted it was the most important play of the year, but until game time yesterday he was a lock cap casualty int he offseason and a bust of a pickup.

Douglas was an awesome get, but those in the know knew it and it's why he cost a 2nd for a 2 year rental.

He didn’t cost a 2nd.

3rd - my bad

[Dubie54]

With all of the injuries the Bills have endured and the roster depth that has kept us in the hunt, it would be well-deserved indeed!

Linval Joseph was also a great mid-season pickup. He really helped to hold that line together until DaQuan could come back.

 

And how bout them linebackers drafted last year. Bernard has had a monster year and Spector came in last night for Dodson and didn't seem to miss a beat. 

 

The 2022 draft isn't looking too bad right now, even with Elam not making the grade yet:

Kair Elam

James Cook

Terrell Bernard

Khalil Shakir

Matt Araiza (😪)

Christian Benford

Luke Tenuta

Baylon Spector

 

5 out of 8 players made an impact last night.

One meaningful play? It was arguably the most important play of the year for what it did to the momentum of the game and energy spike it created with the Bills.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that the Packers gave us Douglas and their 5th Rd pick for our 3rd Rd pick. If so that’s quite the value for us.

Yes - that's what I said.

[Wizard]

That should go to Houston's or Cleveland's GM. Probably Houston as they stuck with Stroud, made playoffs and hired a great coach and made playoffs and win division in first year.

 

Cleveland's coach wins Coack of the Year.

[Gugny]

Von Miller wholeheartedly agrees. 💰

Floyd, Jones last year, the Ed Oliver STEAL of a contract, Bernard , Kincaid, Torrence, McGovern , Shakir, Cook

A CB1 and a potential depth player for a late 3rd Round pick is definitely great value.

Even Tenuta is hanging around in the league on IR for the Packers, so even though he isn't with us, he is still around, and for a late-round guy that is pretty impressive. And obviously, Araiza would be around if it wasn't for the off-field stuff.
