The direct quote from the exec was “Buffalo is getting a lot of love but I don’t see a plan.”
You’re making yourself look silly.
Not as silly as the guy who started this moronic thread.. They wrote:

This sounds like the ramblings of somebody who may be a bit envious of how much the Bills were able to accomplish in FA.
Either some complete idiot hijacked your computer, or...

So to me the plan starts with to protect Allen better - particularly the integrity of the pocket. They have added a center and a guard who are both very good players and will make a massive difference. Then I think in terms of offensive weapons in free agency the plan was just upgrade on what we had in 2018 (which wad not much). Tyler Kroft, John Brown and Beasley are not the eventual cast of playmakers they want for Allen but it wasnt a great FA crop for those and they were all upgrades on what we already had here.
By improving the protection and the weapons the idea is the Bills give themselves a real chance of knowing what they have in Allen by the end of 2019. In 2018 it was too hard to judge. He made a lot of play but outside the structure of the offense in a way that was fun but not long term sustainable. They want to see him demonstrate he can develop within an offense this year and these moves are, in my mind at least, drive by that desire.
So says the lucid, ever-positive, TBD elder-statesman... Unfortunately, I'm not reading a lot of winning into that plan... The unnamed exec is well within his rights to be skeptical if you're right... For example, I don't think two years in is the time to be figuring out "what they have" in their franchise QB. -That's what a rookie season is for... Lest we forget that these are NFL professionals with decades of experience between them. -They should all know what they have by now...
To your point about development, I think JA has already proven he can not only develop, but also adapt, and improvise within an offense. Through his first eight games JA had 464 rushing yards. -That's more than Michael Vick had at the same point in his career. (418) Through weeks 11, 12, and 13 Allen averaged 111.7 rush ypg. -That's more than Zeke Elliot through the same period (97.1)... A kid like that deserves a better o-line, which I credit Mcbeane for addressing. However, he also deserves easier, more reliable passing targets. -Players who can actually score... Loading up on 2 sub 6-foot WR's, a TE coming off major foot surgery, and the oldest RB in the league does not inspire much confidence in McBeane's offensive planning.
I'm waiting see what they do in the draft, but I submit that any plan that doesn't involve securing a top flight TE, and reliable #1 receiver for this Athletic, rocket-armed, QB, is misguided, and likely won't serve the team's best interest, A.K.A. winning football games.

I really want Hockenson but there are quality TEs in this draft.
Not THAT type of quality there ain't... If I hadn't won a playoff game in 20 years, I sure wouldn't pass on a generational talent.

Just what I thought... Homerism to the point of defending something you can't even explain... For someone who's job it is to see plans to say; "I' don't see a plan" means a lot to me... Note: the exec never said there was no plan, -The entire premise of the thread is ridiculous.

Maybe a few but who cares. I need to see them win, I don't care about sleeping around before the season begins.

Me either. Thanks for plan breakdown.

NOPE. Good thing I have you and eball to explain it to me.

That's the goal... -What's the plan?

It’s remarkable how those of you who don’t like the plan turn it into “I don’t see a plan” and call everyone who does a homer.
Sad.
I'm sorry but, what is the plan? -Since you seem to know.

No way he's running butt-naked in the middle of the field like that in the NFL.
We've had LB's that cover better than CFL corners.

We had another 1st Rounder that year, @14. He didn’t do squat for the Bills his 1st 3 seasons..
Still wound up working out OK.

The plan should be geared 100% toward winning the AFCE. -That means dominance.
So far, the best piece they've acquired is at center.... The draft will tell me all I need to know, but so far, I'm not seeing a plan either.

Josh needs Hockenson… The kid is surrounded by ball-droppers... Get him some help.

Give us Travis Kelce for charity, moth********r.

The other thing that really impressed me was him completing some awesome third and long passes. Several of which were called back for holding. I believe in one game it was two different third downs in a row that got called back. But serious NFL throws that he made which didn’t show up on the stat sheet this season. Hopefully with some offensive line upgrades some of those throws count this season.
Also, with a history of collarbone breakage, I'm not a fan of the diving-forward... Sure, it looks epic, but why? Just takes 1 hit from a safety to prove you're not superman.

It was also probably one of Fitz's best throws of his career. That pass couldn't have been more perfect.
Agreed. Perfect.

Yup, i'll never forget the Overtime bomb he dropped against the Steelers. It was so heartbreaking.
I almost feel like his career ended that day. He took it worse than anybody, I think.

Never liked the red helmet. It was okay when they were on the road and they wore white but it just did not look right with the blue jerseys and white pants. Two of the three uniform elements should match.

The Bills accomplished more in ten years of red-on-royal, '84 -94' than all the previous 24... From 89-99 the Bills were a perennial playoff presence in those red hats. (with the exception of '94 and '97)
is such a tough, clean, look... Who remembers

This could be problem for OC's to deal with... A skilled DC would be able to mess with any QB using ZB and TE... Get the Zach Brown band back together again!
What NFL executive is this?!!!

Trolling? Who acted like he knew the plan but went mute when asked to explain... Dead air... Is the wi-fi not reaching your mom's basement?
1. Fine.
2. It already was.
3., 4. Josh needs weapons that aren't hurt (Kroft) Ancient (Gore) and tiny (Brown, Beasley) Sorry, but I don't GAF what you and Boca-boy think. In two months the mosquitoes will be eating him alive, and this won't look any more like a plan than it does today.
Yah, the guy who started it.
