Why show your hand, talk about what you need and drive up prices or competition for players.  Not excuses,  it's smart.  

But I agree about the drafting. He has to hit on 1st and 2nd rounders more often than he does.  

I'm not saying he needs to tell us what our needs are. Just complaining about the constant "we're not spending money in FA so we can extend guys"

"The end result was unaccetpable to the people in this buiding and we will review and evalute all aspects of the organization to get over the hump."

 

All that needs to be said.

If there was ever a time to make a clear, strong, definitive statement about the calls, today was it.    You can be respectful to refereeing in general and the league and still say “they blew two calls.”     Beane is representing the league to the team and the fans.   I’d like him to represent the team and the fans to the league.

 

I’d also like to hear whether or not the league agree they blew a couple, of if they defended the calls.   If they defended, I’d love to hear the analysis.

 

So much of this is “you, the paying customer, aren’t going to hear what we talk about it.”   I’d love to be a reporter.

Wow. This is pretty damning. Hopefully Keon gets that physicality back.

He says that every year.  Even the year we signed Von Miller. It's part of his strategy.

Beane making injury excuses for Cooper, Samuel, Coleman, and Kincaid. Color me shocked.

Why didn't Kincaid come back this year stronger?  Did he even work out in offseason?

With McD at the helm, how about up 10 with 3 seconds to go?  Even he couldn’t screw that up. 😂

Ye of little faith. He could screw it up. Need it to be 0 seconds to go.

Broader point...I DETEST the injury excuse. Injuries and players being out...and overcoming that...are literally a foundational part of the game.  You would think the GM of an organization that LOST A SUPER BOWL TO A BACKUP QB would realize that.

Finally a good question from a reporter, and a terrible answer from Beane.  Prior to Keon getting hurt, he dropped a ball at the 5 yard that caused an INT vs Miami.  He can cut that crap about this pre and post injury crap.

[HOUSE]

My question would be

Why should fans believe anything will be different next year?

Probably get thrown out of the presser.

[SCBills]

Part of being a successful NFL player is the ability to play through injury.

 

Too often this is the excuse for guys on our team, whether it's Rousseau with ankle injuries or this year's wrist pandemic... it's pretty common for players to announce surgery after the season.  This isn't Bills-centric.  If you're only a great player when you're fully healthy, you're not a great player.

The negativity here is exhausting.

"Accountability" at One Bills Drive? Surely you jest.

I had to remind myself that we win 11+ games every year.

To repeat...

 

"The end result was unacceptable to the people in this building and we will review and evalute all aspects of the organization to get over the hump."

 

All that needs to be said.

So here's the thing, and ofcourse I might be wrong, but next year will be very disappointing. I think this 4th loss to the Chiefs will be so debilitating that we go through a hangover year and struggle a bit and don't sniff the AFC championship game. Like next year is gonna be the year many were expecting this year. That step back. 

 

You still have the Chiefs, Healthy Burrow, the Pats will be much better, Herbert second year with Harbaugh, Stroud, Lamar, Denver will be better, the Raiders if they get a QB somehow will be better with Carroll, the Steelers are always a threat. AFC is shifting and Bills will likely get left behind if they don't make changes. 

 

Buffalo and this brain trust has just gotten stale and have not gotten the job done. I just don't see an avenue where that changes. 

 

After that disappointing year, at that point, I think these guys are done.

Yup, we're doomed, everything sucks, yadda yadda yadda.

I agree. He makes it every year. Love how he added Milano and Miller to the injury excuse list right after that.

I think they need a shake up.  If Beane isn't lying and our cap space is to be set aside for extensions of the same guys who have been here 3-4 years and haven't made a difference in the postseason, well... I don't necessarily agree with you, but fear this is a potential outcome.
