  1. IIRC Beane said something in a past interview about drafting a guy who is scheme independent, because OC turnover can happen almost every year. I do expect the offense to be Pats-esque but to play more to Allen's strengths. It should open up the field a lot more.

  2. If he wins the job, he deserves it. There's no question about it. But where he's at now, as I and most people believe, the best move is to be patient for a little while. Keep working on his footwork, his timing with receivers, his accuracy. If you get him in the game too early, everything you're trying to refine in him might unravel and the bad habits will show up again. I wouldn't be surprised if the city starts calling for him to start very soon like how LA did for Goff, but only the coaches will know when he's ready. 

  3. Beane has a great plan. We signed AJ to a 2 year deal. 2019 will be all about grooming Allen, taking time with him. 2020 is when he will get his shot, and AJ will still be there if needed. Sure, everyone wants to win, but 2019 will be a rebuilding, training year which is why Beane didn't give up 2019 picks. With a great rookie class and a lot of FAs, since we have plenty of cap next year, 2020 and onward Bills are all in

    We were 9-7 last year when everyone said we were "tanking".   I believe this year's team will be just as good if not better.  I also believe that McCarron will outperform Tyrod.  The D will be better against the run and with improved QB play, I expect a more consistent team.  I didn't buy the "tanking" theory last year and I don't buy that we are "rebuilding" this year.

    The biggest difference between last years team and this one will be the OL. The run blocking was a bit meh last season which I think is scheme-related. This should improve. Losing two starters is certainly an obstacle, but I think Groy is more than capable of stepping in. I assume they will bring in a rookie, or maybe a late FA, so that remains to be seen.

     

    On the other hand, I think we are better defensively than we were last season. Edmunds is an upgrade over Preston and he will only get better. Some depth is needed,  especially at DT,  but there aren't glaring holes.
