DefenseWins Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 First, I see Cousins either working out a long term deal with Washington or perhaps signing with the Jets... I don't see him as realistically signing here... I think that Keenum has the most potential upside if we go after a FA... He shouldn't command as much $ as Cousins for example either... And we wouldn't have to cough up any of our draft picks to sign him either, which is another plus... The option to trade up is still there if Beane and McD want to "swing for the fences" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've been a Bills fan for over 40 years, and I'm feeling quite positive about this season. At the beginning of the season the prevailing opinion was that the team would deliberately tank for a high draft pick. When they showed signs of being competitive, the prevailing opinion what that they might win seven games if they were lucky. No way they would make the playoffs. When they made the playoffs, the prevailing opinion would be that they would lose by a touchdown or more. In my opinion, they took a team that was significantly better than they were down to the wire. I think that this bodes well heading into next season because it shows that McDermott can do quite a lot with minimal talent, and keep a team together that was on the verge of falling apart after the Chargers game. Now the next test: what can the team do with a lot of cap space and plenty of picks in the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Not with Bradford. Possibly more fools gold than Taylor. Maybe even more so with Keenum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Doubtful. We still need, in no specific order: OT OG DT, if Kyle leaves we need 2 - Washington is a rotational player DE 2LBs at least 2 good WRs who are capable of making another team's top 3 WR group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I wouldn't jump on the Keenum train just yet. I'd want to see him have another year like this so I know it wasn't a fluke. Bradford would be fine if he wasn't injured so much. I'd be ok with Cousins, but Alex Smith would be my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Unless Keenum wins the SB this year, NO ONE is going to pick the Bills as SB favorites with any of those guys next year. For real?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryland-bills-fan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 We had a lot of veterans make their absolute best last gasp attempt this year and they got into the playoffs. Bully for them, but they are on the downhill of their career or even retiring. The rebuild started last year. We were lucky last year. Next year we will be lucky to make the playoffs. Then the future looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Are Bills fans not impressed with what Alex Smith did this year? I think he’d be a good fit for McDs style.... just as much as any of those other guys mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I don't agree with the OP at all. Now if they were to somehow get Cousins, a legit OC, an elite WR, a rookie QB, a dominant LB, and a pass rushing DE, the media would be talking about us maybe splitting with NE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, if you aren't a Dolphins fan, why on earth do you keep up this narrative that they are this super team? You put them on the Patriots level when they aren't even on the Jets level. They are garbage led by the two biggest dirt bags in the sport (Landry and Suh). If you are a Dolphins fan, then you are forgiven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 3 hours ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: No question cousins would be an improvement, but seeing him play here in DC, I’m telling you.. there is a reason Washington hasn’t gone all in already. Hes got some glaring weaknesses and limitations and this same group of bills fans will be right back to the draft boards looking for better while at the same time suffering a talent vacuum due to of self inflicted cap pain. What are his "glaring weaknesses and limitations"? I'd be curious to hear what the people that know about him have to say. 3 hours ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: This was a very week 9-7 team though. Other than turnover differential and clutch 50+ yard kicks from Haushcka, this basically a 5-11 or 6-10 team. Carpenter was great his first season with us too and then fizzled out his final two years with us. Turnover differential will more likely than not go down next season. I'm not against bringing in a veteran QB but there are plenty of signs that this team could go 8-8 or even 7-9 next season even with an upgrade at the QB position. Or, we could go 19-0.
