RochesterRob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Gavin in Va Beach said: I think the Josh Allen pick, and the trading up for Edmunds, shows that Beane is not really worried about this season and is taking the long view. We all are talking about how many need areas the Bills still have and are lamenting the fact that we don't have the 2nd and 3rd round picks to plug those holes but we may need to come to terms with the fact that Beane and McDermott are ok with some holes going into this season. If they were planning to be competitive in 2018, and were still planning on drafting Allen who is undoubtedly a year or two away from starting, then they likely would have kept Tyrod another season or brought in a vet free agent QB (who knows, they may still). But with no proven QB on the roster we are likely facing another "look out below" season. Now this is the NFL, and some younger players can surprise and teams can get hot, so you can't totally write off the season, but I would be prepared for some growing pains. The good news is we'll lose a ton of dead salary cap money after this season, something like $25 mil or so I believe, so look for Beane to be very aggressive in free agency next year. Funny how those 2nd round picks and 3rd round pick now matter to the trade up for Rosen crowd now that Rosen did not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is fine folks. If they crap the bed this year, then I will be the first to eat crow. You won't have to. This team shouldn't have high expectations this year due to the QB change being very up in the air, between mccarron and Allen it's a big unknown, with Allen not expected to even start, and the OLine being in shambles. Overall regression should be expected. You obviously aren't saying we are SB contenders, you seem to be saying that we won't be terrible, and might take a step back, with obvious learning bumps from the QBs, right?

Going off of this site, the Bills will go from $18+ mil of cap space to $78+ mil of cap space next season. Granted that number will fluctuate will new signings and other releases, etc. but the bottom line is next year we should have the cash to be serious players in free agency. No excuses not to be competitive in 2019. https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills/ Edited April 27, 2018 by Gavin in Va Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) They are trying to win now and in the future. Last year we all felt they were tanking with all the trades they made but clearly had no intention of that by making the playoffs.

I would also add for everyone is freaking that we don't have a second round pick, most teams have one pick in each round. While we don't have a second round pick we got TWO players in round one, so like, one more player than everyone else... And those assets given up won't matter if Allen hits. And yes, I know, Allen will never hit, Pegula is a fool, Beane needs to polish his resume, McDermott doesn't know what a QB looks like and the NFL is a giant conspiracy against the Bills.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Our defense is good and we have Shady. We can win games now. AJ is as good as Tyrod IMO. We can win now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The good news is that if u remove Brady from the equation the league really isnt all that good. A decent team competes. We shoulda beat Jax in the playoffs last yr....with a Bills team that was barely above avg. There are no great teams out there. Everyone can be beat . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can win now. Added some help along the d-line. new ILB, probably will add some secondary depth. I don't see why our D would be any worse than last year. The offense was already bottom of the barrel... should be a middling 6-10 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Mueller Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Considering all of the holes we have in our starting line-up... and the fact that we just spent 5 out of the 6 tickets we had to fill them with on 2 players (one of whom likely won't play at all next season)... you just might be right about that. At least we didn't trade any of next year's picks... those might be some premium picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
