Watkins90 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) If Josh Allen is the franchise QB we have been looking for, we are at least 2 years from being a contender. We aren't going to be good this year. However, if we can see our young guys develop we'll be on our way. Let's not get carried away. Firing the coach and GM at this point, before they even have a chance to build the roster they want. We need to be patient. This year is lost, this year is about development. We all know why they shipped away Tyrod. We saw that today vs. the Steelers. He was terrible. Edited September 9, 2018 by Watkins90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This year is not “lost” yet. But it very well could be. The defense was bad on the first drive, after that I blame the offense for the awful game today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time started the Browns on the Steelers one, which ended in a one-play scoring drive on a run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRA3196 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 After today's game I can't help but look back at last year's 3 epic losses to the Jets, Saints and Chargers. Horrible games that were similar to todays, yet we finished 9-7 for the year. We have a lot of things going against us this year. Salary cap hell, Wood and Incognito retiring, New O-coordinator, and lots of young talented players that need to learn the game at this level. The Buffalo Bills have had several collapses over their history. But they always manage to get over it, move on and live to play another day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 You don’t just blindly give a HC and GM the length of their contracts to get it right. You keep them if the results warrant it. If not then you move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended the drought, while also blowing up the roster and getting rid of players who either underachieved compared to their contracts, weren't good scheme fits, or weren't going to stay in Buffalo anyway. After a bad game, the first game of the season, in McBeane's second year you just can't fire the coach and GM. You have to give them a chance to build the team. At least give them this year and then next to show improvement before deciding to dump them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott did coach the Bills to the playoffs in 2017, I'll give him that, but nothing else that he or Beane have done beside that demonstrate any competence at all in talent evaluation, in cap management or any understanding of how to build a winning football team. All those supposedly "underachieving" players are playing successfully for numerous other NFL teams, many of them playoff contenders, while they've mostly been replaced by non-NFL caliber scrubs. The Bills got relatively little in the 2018 draft for the bounty of draft picks collected and all the talent they gave up to get them. Their cap management has been non-existent, as their $52 million in dead cap money attests, as demonstrated by the Bills trading for Corey Coleman and adding $3.5 million to their dead cap money when they cut him a week or 10 days later. Spending numerous draft picks to move up take a first round QB and NOT provide him with a solid OL or decent receivers is further evidence of McDermott and Beane's incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
