OK now for my opinions :

Allen was a reach at 7. Career college completion % was below JP Losman's. Can't teach accuracy either. You have it or you don't. This move was bad.
Sammy should still be here. Good player.
Taylor was the best option at the time.
Darby should still be here. This trade still boggles my mind. No reason for it.
Darius should still be here. Don't care about the 'tude - he's a good player.
Edmunds - probably will turn out good.
Glenn - No reason to trade him. Should still be here.
Woods - in hindsight, giving him that contract was dumb.
Star - sucks.
Benjamin - sucks. God was a horrible trade.
Vonte - well we all know this was a dumb move.

Beane is a bad GM. Doesn't have a good eye for talent.

Love Allen, QBs always go high.

Darby, dareus, Glenn and Sammy suck. All great moves.

Benjamin was a bad trade and from day one I said Star was a bad signing but he has been doing well drafting.

Stopped reading right there.... WHAT THE HELL HAS HE DONE....


You obviously don't like Allen, so we should just cut him...Okay whatever but your wrong again Caption. Did you see the TD Big Ben missed in his game today in the 4th quarter??? Cut him! pft....
Dead wrong about Wood as well, Beane should have ESP and know he was going to get a career ending injury...

the only thing you're right about are Benjamin and Vonte.

Darius is a lazy piece of poop.... come on he had one good year here.

Darius needed to go. Imagine paying him for 3 more years.

Good luck winning under a rookie QBs 1st contract.

I don't disagree, but let's not pretend getting rid of a moderately overpaid player for a 6th round pick is some sort of coup.

Edmunds looks to be a good player, but that was an awfully high price to pay for a non-QB, he'd damn well better be a good player, like Pro-Bowler.

I think by virtue of the position he's asked to play and his particular usage, eating up blocks, not necessarily getting sacks and tackles, it's going to be pretty tough to call it a "win" unless you have All-22 and analyze his every play.

Darius was being paid more then "moderately"


Edmund's was projected to go top 10 in some mock drafts.

He's a really good player in my opinion.

Well worth the trade up value. He's a game changer

He's not in the Ville Leino, Milan Lucic, Brent Seabrook, Vinny Lecavalier zone. Guys making twice, or more, what they're worth. He's below them in the ROR range. Still getting good results(for now), but overpaid. I don't think anyone bats an eye at $5.75M for ROR.

Doesn't matter how much cap space they have, I have no faith in Beane to evaluate talent and sign the correct players for this team. He's made horrible decisions so far with only couple of good ones. Dude needs to go.
- kritter65

Well, that is somewhat true on the Offense so far, with KB and some others adds they have brought in. Defense has been upgraded pretty significantly, with a couple more upgrades required.
Along thd way they have shed the team of underproductive or misfit players, which has hampered their ability to get all they needed...seemed they went bargain shopping to try to fill holes while not over-paying.
I'll give them the chance, but I'm not sure the quality is "there" in FA to fully leverage the available cap space.

Pretty much all of these moves suck - #4 may turn out ok though :

Meh, I think your speaking from too much emotion, and looking negative on all things Beane.
Yes there have been bad moves, most notably KB, followed by Davis. Opinions vary on trading guys like Watkins and Dareus, even Darby.
Good moves for Allen, Edmunds, Star, Glenn, Taylor, and resigning Woods.

Probably right (bolded part), but I'll stick to my guns on the Darby, Dareus, and Glenn trades, which IMHO, were made for no good reason. We got crap for returns - and we lost good starters at all 3 positions when they were dealt. And I still think we reached at 7 for Allen. You don't trade up and draft a QB with a completion percentage of under 60% at 7th overall. Sure, he makes the games watchable, more exciting now (especially with the running), but I need a more accurate QB when I trade up and grab a QB at 7. I'll give him this, he's fun to watch ! Frustrating at times, but again, the games are now watchable (except for all the damn penalties !!!).

Dahlin plays in a cowboy hat and puts up 4 points, 6-4 Sabres.

Bogo doesn’t make it across the street in time to the arena, Tootsie’s gets the best of him.

Goodbye American Indoor Street Hockey Center. It was great to play there. Sad to see it go.

Sammy, the most important ability is availability, and he was hardly available here...was going to cost too much to retain on a risk-filled bet.
Would much rather they had kept Robert Woods!

Allen,they absolutely needed a QB...and the top 2 of 4 were gone before their pick. The issue thenis would you rather have Allen, Rosen or Jackson. No telling yet who will be better. Allen does indeed have accuracy issues...can he learn better technique to better himself? We shall see...but whenKB and others including Clay continually drop very, very catchable balls....you are stretching it a bit to knock Allens completion % .... Completion Percentage and Accuracy are simply not the same thing.

Give it time, they are headed in the right direction...it isn't as dire as it seems.
TRUST THE GD PROCESS!!!
Jesus Christ!

It's where I started my reffing career...was my first job at 12 or 13

Played there for many years before I started taking reffing seriously and then the obvious move to Orlando.

Loved that place, made a ton of friends there, met a ton of great people.

Thanks Randy and Eric

Saturday was the last day

Randy sold it, he is going to enjoy retirement.

The new owner is turning it into a basketball center

I was at the Bills game yesterday.

Say what you want about Allen but the kid is a gamer.

You really can't teach that.

Charles Clay was standing still in the endzone when the ball was in the air...take two steps catch the ball and fall.

KB has no place in the NFL, he can't even block halfway decent. He is straight garbage.

Zay Jone and Allen are still working on the timing and chemistry but there is something developing there that I like.

The Bills D had one of the weirdest games I have ever seen. Only gave up 178 yards of offense but 3 long TD drives?

Haushka had a brand new holder and you can tell. That is what happens when you play musical chairs with your punter.

Trade down in the first, get a WR and some OL and I really think Allen is going to be a good QB in this league.

Allen is a gamer for sure. Seeing him develop every week is exciting. Once he has some WRs i think he can be really dangerous.


Clay froze in the endzone.. you see your QB running for his life and you just stand there...... cannot wait for him and KB(who dropped another TD) to be gone!

Awww man

Loved that place.

I played goalie for 2 seasons there on Sunday mornings around 2012ish? Our first season we went 0-32. There were some wily veteran teams. We had no idea what we were getting into. Randy is a really nice guy.

Sad to hear
