    Why do new coaches overhaul rosters?

    Heard today that Jon Gruden has a two year plan to completely overhaul the raiders roster to bring in his own players. Why do coaches do this (our own included)? I’ve seen this done in my profession as well and it rarely works. I know some answers will revolve around new schemes and new players. But it seems to be more of an ego trip, in my opinion. So why do you think they do this? 

    I have often wondered the same thing.   Successful coaches design a scheme to utilize the talents of the players on the roster.   Coaches like Rex dismantle a successful team and bring g in inferior talent just because they fit the scheme they want to run.   I how McDermott is not the latter.

    I was very wrong about Tyrod & have to own it.

    Well said.  Allen actually has protected the ball reasonably well for a rookie.  Peterman and now Anderson are the turnover machines that TT never was.

    You understand that the brain trust created the dead money?  They were not in a salary cap jail.  This is all made by Beane.  They could have kept TT and still drafted Allen and had money to spare.  Dareus money is not much different than non-existent Star.  Murphy money did not need to be spent.

    This mess is man made.  And there is no reason to believe Beane will make decent choices with the cap space next year.

    I agree with you that we should have kept TT.  He got us to the playoffs.  Beane did add to the dead money was contributed to the mess. But a significant amount was created before McBeane arrived.   Regardless,  we will be clear of most of this going into 2019.  If the team can be competitive in 2019.  I am on board.   If there is not a substantial improvement,  it may be time to move on to new management.   I would hate to see this happen changing management every three years is a formula for failure.

    Add Watkins, Woods, and Glenn to the offense and maybe.

    Why did we have to suck this year? We were 9-7 last season, was it necessary to bottom out now? I understand Richie and Wood were unexpected, big losses, but every other issue is self inflicted. We didn't address our deficiencies on the O-lIne, we just made them worse by trading Glenn. We didn't do anything to improve our WR situation either. I don't understand the need to totally bottom out before trying to be a good team.

    The story line is that the Bills must clear the dead money  so we have room to sign free agents in the off season.  It was expected that we would suffer through one difficult year.  The brain trust did not want to get involved with any new long term contract this year.  That is why we suck.

    Last year, I said that the passing offense couldn't get worse than it was under Tyrod. 

     

    Boy was I wrong.

     

    I honestly didn't think it was really possible for a collection of professional coaches & players to perform as poorly on offense as they have this season. 

     

    Beane & McDermott deserve to be fired at the end of this season. 

    We all knew this was going to be a rebuilding year, and it is.  I do not understand the lynch mob mentality with the current state of the Bills.   Yes they suck.  But this is what we expected.  Let 's power through this year and save our pitch forks and torches for next year if they do not show significant improvement.

    The next 9 games are going to be a rough ride. I just hope to see progression from Allen on pre snap reads and decision making overall. Next year will be the tell tale for this Front office and Josh. I hope they don't disappoint. 

    I have higher expectations next year.  I would give McDermott and Beane through the 2020 season before looking for a change.  We have gone through so many coaches.  I want to give this management team time to get it right.

    I went from thinking watching Anderson will do Allen good to thinking the Buffalo Bills are not the same football team without Josh Allen.

     

     

     

     

     

      

    Yes.  Allen will be better off playing that sitting and watching.   Let's hope he is back in a couple of weeks.  He still looks like the best qb on our roster.

    Cause if your not playing like LT or Ray Lewis you need to be traded.

     

    For draft picks!

    I agree.  It is funny how before the season began, there was so much calm and logical talk about this being a rebuilding year and that we would see an improved team next year.  The comments were if we win 4 or 5 games and Allen showed improvement,  that would be a successful season.  Now so many are  a surprises at how bad we are.  They are ready to dump Allen and draft a new franchise qb with in 2019.  I guess that is why we are called fans (fanatic)

    By setting the tone with the worst QB ever to play the game, McDermott laid the path for Allen.

    You must buy in.

     

    This is the process.

     

    I will say that it was impressive the way McDermott repeatedly sent out the worst QB ever to play, just to make sure Josh Allen looked good.That is accepted as what he did, correct?

    It certainly looks like McDermott really likes something in Peterman.  Let's hope he gets over that soon.

    I can’t believe how many trolling fans show up after an L...

     

    This was always gonna Be an up and down year... super young LBr Corp, rookie QB, pathetic WR Corp 

     

    I don’t believe in tanking but there were people here who were adamant about tanking, then when we lose it’s the end of the world 

     

    it’s impossible to evaluate Josh with this offense.. IMPOSSIBLE 

     

    I watched Jared Goff stink stink stink it up His rookie year... he had no weapons and no line... people were calling him a bust... they surrounded him with talent and he played at a pro bowl level last year 

     

    this is a team Game and we are lacking on the offensive side... Sign 2 WRs in FA , draft one , and sign and draft lineman 

     

    keep him upright, get some receivers who could catch a cold and stop calling him a bust after 6 weeks

     

    He was the least ready rookie, that doesn’t mean he will never become ready

     

    Baptism by fire can be ugly at times, but making it through it is invaluable to progression . 

     

    Im way more worried about leading the league in illegal formations lol

    Nice post.  The Bills are a team in transition.  Before the year started, there were many more needs on offense than defense.  It is logical for the defense to be ahead of the offense.  The bills will get to where we want them to be.  It will take a year or two.
