So, let's go over the Bills FO script.......
1) we may or may not make the post season this year
a) we make the post season and get bounced out due to poor play calling/game planning and below average talent (same as it's been for 8 plus years)
b) we don't make the playoffs and that's the end of the season
2) we invest heavily in D in next year's draft
a) McD and Beane are forever chasing that unicorn on D and will stop at nothing to obtain it......they haven't found it yet, but by God, they'll ruin this franchise and our QB's career trying to obtain it
b) we crap shoot our draft picks and just hope that something pans out (which seems like they throw darts at the board for their picks each year or picking up players who don't fit out schemes)
3) we invest nothing of substance into our O
a) invest the whole draft into our O (never going to happen.......the great and powerful McD would never allow it)
b) invest nothing into our O at draft time and actually be surprised that it's not working out (and sadly, this is what usually happens)
4) be the smartest ones in the room
a) pick players that no one else has even taken a 2nd glance at in the draft cause every one of them is a diamond in the rough and our FO knows more than every other team
b) game plan and play calling that no one else will ever see coming.......you know like, run, run, pass or nickel and/or dime on D every snap
5) Free Agency
a) be the 1st at the trough to sign those below average FA's and hope that something pans out........you know, instead of splurging for one or two really good players, bring in 12 mediocre or bring back players that no other teams want (also see point #4 - be the smartest ones in the room)
b) sign zero FA's (you know, like Beane said we didn't have a WR problem, then tried to sign one at the deadline but it didn't happen)
6) cap situation
a) sign mediocre players to ridiculous contracts and wonder why there's no more money left to make any plays
b) sign no one, still have cap issues because of errant contracts in the past
I could go on and on and on, but this is generally the script that our FO has written over the past 8 seasons........it's like clockwork, for gods sakes and it will remain like this for the remainder of this FO's tenure.
You know what next year will look like?!?.........exactly what we've seen the past 8 years. The Bills FO script will remain the same each and every season.
