Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane called into a local radio show on Monday to scold two hosts over one of ‘the dumbest arguments I’ve heard.’
WGR 550 co-hosts Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase had apparently been criticizing the team’s wide receiver situation before Beane came on the air, and the executive let loose as he accused the pair of unnecessarily ‘bi***ing’ about the state of the team.
‘I was just listening to the last few minutes of your show before I came on, waiting on here, sounds like 2018 all over with you guys,’ Beane began. ‘You guys were bi***ing in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh Rosen, and now you guys are bi***ing that we don’t have a receiver. I don’t get it. We just scored 30 points in a row for eight straight games [between Weeks 7 and 15].
‘A year ago, I get you guys asking why we didn’t have receivers, but I don’t understand it now. You just saw us lead the league in points, when you add all the postseason no one scored more points than the Buffalo Bills including the Super Bowl champions.
‘So you just saw us do it without Stefon Diggs, same group,’ Beane continued. ‘How is this group not better than last year’s group? Our job is to score points and win games. Where do we need to get better? Defense, we did that. So I get it, you gotta have a show, and you gotta have something to bi*** about but b***ing about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve heard.’
To Beane’s point, offense was hardly the Bills’ problem last season as they went 13-4 and lost in the AFC Championship Game to the Chiefs.

Even after trading former No. 1 wideout Diggs to the Texans, Buffalo ranked second in points per game (30.9) in the regular season, only behind the Lions.
Receiver Khalil Shakir had a breakout year, rookie Keon Coleman had a productive receiving 556 yards and five-time Pro Bowler Amari Cooper was also acquired at the trade ᴅᴇᴀᴅline (though he is currently a free agent).
Buffalo also signed Joshua Palmer to a three-year, $29million deal this offseason.
‘Let’s be realistic. Our job is not fantasy football, to trot out the best receivers,’ Beane continued. ‘You got Josh Allen, first thing you got to do is protect him. You can’t have everything. You can’t have Pro Bowl wide receivers and have a Pro Bowl offensive line and an All-Pro quarterback and three great running backs like.
‘Sure, I’d love to play fantasy football, but there’s one football, Jeremy, there’s one ball you can’t give it to so many people. So that’s where I’m like, I don’t understand this narrative. I felt it a little bit from a couple of the reporters. Our job is to score points. It doesn’t matter what receivers, what quarterback, if you score points at the level we scored, that is winning football.’

The Bills allowed 32 points in their season-ending loss to the Chiefs, so it’s not surprising that Beane would use the team’s first five NFL Draft picks on defenders.

Buffalo selected cornerback Maxwell Hairston with the No. 30 overall pick in the first round, before selecting defensive tackle T.J. Sanders at No. 41, edge rusher Landon Jackson at No. 72, defensive tackle Deone Walker at No. 109 and cornerback Jordan Hancock at No. 170.
The Bills then used the No. 173 pick on тιԍнт end Jackson Hawes before spending two of their next three picks on defense.
Cornerback Dorian Stong was taken in the sixth round, offensive tackle Chase Lundt was taken later that round and wide receiver Kaden Prather was taken at No. 240 in the seventh.
