Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?

You’ve been here 20+ years…this is the norm.  

[Saint Doug]

But they just brought in a WR today for a visit. Kind of proves they are looking to get better at WR.

I was high on Elijah Moore years ago, but at this point he's not offering the kind of "help" people are clamoring for. He'd be a 5th WR at best, or more likely a camp body.

Can we please have a dedicated thread where everyone can post their displeasure and whine to their heart’s content about the Bills lack of commitment to the WR position and failure to adequately address it in this years draft? This would save the rest of us a substantial amount of time and aggregation associated with reading this in every thread all day long.  Thank you.  

 

Didn't you just start a whining thread about complainers by creating this one? You kicked it off...

Yeah, and that was never going to happen in this draft, just sayin.

So are you displeased or what?

Someone recently told me that they really start going during  this time of year, and into May and June.  Is that the case as you usually see it?

 

It would make sense if that is the case. 

 

As without any games, or pregames, or practice reports, such as we have from July to the end of the season, they are acting like fat kids in a free candy store.   Without  the concrete football  things that I mention above, they feel they can now just make up anything they want, da*n  all the relevant facts, logic, and anything measured or rational.

 

Instead, their uncanny hate drives them to a new lunacy, thinking it is okay now if they turn this board into a free for all of extreme bashing and hate. So I completely understand the OP's intent, to try to have the moderators reign them, corral them.  It won't happen, but will take the rest of the board standing up to them. The good thing is there are not really many of them, relative to the members on here--they are just a group that is extremely prolific, so it makes it seem like there are more than there actually are.

 

The Bills had the best offense in the NFL last year, the best in Bills' history, and  the most balanced in NFL history with 30 rushing and 30 passing touchdowns for the first time ever in the NFL etcetera etcetera...  But almost every single one of the haters would clearly use last year's super neglected offense, and the fact that Beane did not fix that dismal mess with this draft, that offense that Beane almost completely ignores, could care less about, as grounds in itself for firing him.

 

One of the craziest things I have ever heard from  a group of adults.

 

Beane got it rignt today; very glad he said it--just plain dumb.  Love how straight forward and blunt he is, like he was talking directly to...

 

I am also a proponent of getting a burner at wide receiver, a missing element in an otherwise kick as* offense.  But this hate has nothing at all to do with that, it is just a vehicle to spew their hate. 

 

If not this topic, if the Bills had drafted a premier wideout in the first round, is there any doubt in almost anyone's mind reading this that there is a 100% chance they would do the same thing with a completely different topic?  I have none at all, a certainty.

We're at peak offseason too.

Fans who understand the sport of football will be thankful when our defense isn't a pathetic sieve come January.

 

Here's a question and I'm genuinely curious about your answer or anyone else that feels the same as you - what happens if we face KC in January and the defense looks exactly the same as it always does? Because this isn't the first offseason that we've devoted the bulk of our investments to the defense, and that strategy has not yet produced this mythical defense that can keep KC to 20 points or lower. Why are we assuming this year is different?

The kind of help people were clamoring for was for early round pick (which btw, would be no better than Moore at this point). Given our defense has let us down 4 years in a row, I’d say we did the right thing. As for Moore, who knows. He’s young and has spent the last 4 years on 2 of the worst run teams in the NFL. Maybe a diamond in the rough. 

[Shortchaz]

If we finally get a quality receiver maybe we can improve on our measly .5 points per play on offense.

While I don't disagree, we do need a 5th WR. Would you rather just have a competition between Shavers, Shenault, and Prather to decide that?

Elijah Moore had 538 yards and 1 TD, He's never had more that 640 yards in a season and who would he possibly beat out to match those numbers?

Maybe we can just meet Brandon Beane at Deleware park

You old guys will get this

Mods, my mommy and daddy told me I’m more important than everyone else, so can we relegate all threads that I don’t agree with to a single thread?

It is...but let's not act like signing Moore is some savior--- a 600 yard receiver isn't moving the needle much.  

 

Beane saying we're set at WR, is still true.  Looking to improve on WR4/5 is smart, but in no way shape or form changes who we are as a team.

If you say pretty please, maybe

I take it you hated the Josh Palmer signing?
