I'll definitely will give you your respect if this is true Yeah, I don't think they were looking for an upgrade to begin with. They were looking for a bridge QB who's contract would be cheaper, so they could develop an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsredneck1 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) a.j. and jimmy g. will be talked about a lot nationally next year. it's gonna be great to have a pocket passing baller in a bills uni for once.....someone that can take advantage of a turnover....or ball out in the 4th qtr. and our rookie can sit a year, then we will have a qb issue Edited April 11, 2018 by billsredneck1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I could see our running defense improving with the addition of Lotulelei and hopefully a good MLB (am hoping we can get Navarro Bowman) after the draft and maybe get a guy like Genard Avery with a 3rd Round pick. I think the offense has to improve as Benjamin will have a full camp to learn the offense. Ivory should be better than Tolbert and if can get a guy like Rosen I think we'll have a better passing attack. Yet to make the playoffs again it might be more difficult but think we'll be in the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 has the draft been and gone? is the 2018 roster set yet? that said, no clue and those that claim better or worse are doing nothing more then guessing at this point. I like how some are already claiming worse though, like they already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that has as much to do with the supporting cast as the QB. i seriously doubt we will see multiple 3 point games..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get a lead we are not going to throw for wins. Even if we somehow pull off moving up and getting a "franchise" QB, and god forbid we miss on that pick, the line is desimated and our OC has done nothing in the NFL to show he's capable other than be really really like-able for what that's worth. That's just the offense. On defense we lost the guy who while not spectacular was the QB of the front 7 and Preston Brown can be replaced but as of now hasn't been. Again it's much like the Talyor situation. Could we arguably do better? Sure. Will we? There's a good chance we don't. No telling if Star is any better than Dareous and if the D is any better. Sure the secondary should be alright. They were all right last year but that doesn't mean much when teams are running for 200 yards and mulitiple TD's on you every week. The whole "plan/process" seemed legit until the Jets beat us to the punch trading up into the top 5. Now without trading the farm we are not in the hunt for one of the top 4 QB's of which I only like about 2. I believe in two things. Talent and coaching. If you have those two things the law of averages will usually work itself in your favor. We have coaching on the defense but we currently lost a considerable amount of talent and it's arguable that Dareous was one move too many last year. On offense we've been on an absolute skid for 3 straight seasons. They have been hemorrhaging talent on offense. Double that with the losses of Roman and Lynn, say what you want they could do better than Dennison and most likely will leave Badoll in the dust also. So this is really only my first or second post in months. I don't want to B word. So I'll lurk and wait and hope that they pull out some magic and make everything roses but for now in my mind a couple offseasons ago we were a decent DC away from being a good team and now we are doing the same old switch a roo that we do every 4 to 5 years. paragraphs really help in reading a post.

Not even being sarcastic. I've been doing this too long and feeling like they are losing the offseason like they lose the regular season is not fun. Wrong or right if I just felt like everything was great it would be nice. So sick of losing and then also feeling like they are going in the wrong direction. I'm all for drafting a QB but they've been outmanuevered as far as draft position and now we have little offensive line and no pass catchers. That's before we introduce a professional coach who's career point scoring average a little over 2 field goals. It's just too much. I need to step away. Come back for the preseason and hope the coaches and GM have made some fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the pats have missed alot lately, and Bill is seen as one of the best talent evaluators in the league. But why do think Beane is cocky when it comes to drafting? 1 hour ago, MURPHD6 said: Based on the fact that not all drafts are equal.

NewEraBills Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think they will take a step back this year. The team will have to rely on defense a lot to be in games. The offense needs too many pieces including the main piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) this roster is hot garbage. 4-12 at best. Post draft is 4-12 to 6-10 at best. I like McDermott a lot as HC, but he needs some talent to help. This roster could be the worst I've seen in 30 years of being a Bills fan.

HOUSE Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have no doubt the team will be better. Players are returning to pretty much the same system with pretty much the same team. I think you will find the Bills will easily fill holes. There will be a large number of offensive linemen available at the final 53. The only problem will be a stronger AFC-East 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
