I find myself in the same place, need a WR 1, D can't get off the field on 3rd and long and we wasted another year of prime Josh. This, ironically, is how I felt 2 seasons ago.
Doesn't really matter what Beane can or can't do. The team has set itself up for SB or failure. Now that they got rid of the reason why we haven't made the big game and promoted the guy they feel had it right, there's no wiggle room. Bowl or bust and they just have to figure it out.
PS: I pray they do!
I hope to have cautious optimism after FA and the Draft. Then after TC to see how many we injure in practice.
I think we regress for half the season until the D has a clue to what it's doing. Also, likely to lose our center and LG, and our receivers would only look good playing for the Argonauts. I'm withholding judgement for a few months and hope that Beane gets the entire draft right for once. So I'm cautiously not-pessimistic.
They will sign David Edwards and Conor McGovern for the OL, trade for Maxx Crosby and Chris Olave. They have mucho cap space. I think Maye is Zac Jones 2.0, but we will have a battle on our hands.
Pats were exposed for what they are, a solid defense and Mac
Jones 2.0 at QB. The more I watched that trash offense the more it burned we were not in that game. Of all the years...
