Process also apparently means we love dead cap space.

 

 

Do they really?

 

I am not so sure.

 

I have said if for a while now.  I feel sorry for both our QBs (now Josh) and Shady.

Yes they do.  Just because you don't like a decision doesn't mean they don't put a lot of thought into them.

You're question has been responded to and you won't hear it.  You're stuck on that it's a stupid move and won't consider another thought.  

 

Several of us have said on the surface it doesn't make sense so let's try to discuss why it would make sense to THEM that are running the team.  Responses have been given but if we don't agree that they're stupid and you know better - then we're dumb too.  

 

Not one person explained to me how Lacy is more important to this team than a weapon for Allen. Or how McDermott is more important Sunday (will be inactive again like his entire Bills career watch) is more important than a Weapon for Allen 

 

Football Speaking as you say

I'm not exactly thrilled with the WRs, but Kerley was my surprise cut for the final 53. Not much upside at all, dime-a-dozen scrub. Let the young guys play, and pick someone else up just like him later if you need to.

i was hoping reilly would have taken kerley's spot, but now there's just a hole....

Exactly my question. 

 

It frustrates me when people allude to our massive dead cap hit as a reason the Bills couldn't, just COULDN'T, bring in better OL or WR talent - but the Bills are acting as though $4.6M in dead cap for two released WR (one of whom we're now paying to play for a division rival) is just chump change. 

 

Mike Pouncey's base salary with San Diego is $5M.  If we manage to "push him around" on Sunday I'll stand down on this point.

I've been skeptical about McBeane's personnel moves from day one, but I have been hoping that I was wrong about them. I still hope I am wrong and that their plan (assuming they have one, and "trust the process" doesn't just mean, "we're smarter than everybody so do it our way") works out. The Bills at this point really need them to make good personnel decisions considering where they have taken this roster so far.

 

If Allen works out it will make a big difference in my assessment of them.

fair enough : )

 

On the surface I understand the signing of the Rotational DT. 

 

However I don’t understand the release of Kerley to do it. Specially when Ray Ray hasnt had a full practice since camp. Now you are going to ask him to take Kerleys 66 percent of Snaps AND then what who is returning for you Murphy?  So going to ask your RB to take on a Bigger role in the return game when you likely are going to be running more to protect Allen. 

 

But yet Career Inactive player in McDermott sticks? When you already have 3 other OTs?  Or Lacy Sticks?  I probably would have been just upset if it was Holmes that was cut (though I think he is useless as well) but he is a Weapon for your Rookie QB. 

 

That is my entire point this move does NOTHING to help make it easier for your rookie QB.

These knee jerk reactions really do not become you......take a deep breath and lets see what actually happens on the field.......not after game 1

 

Again is it SMART football taking a weapon away from your Rookie QB before his first ever start when you have less contributors like Lacy, Dimarco, McDermott  on the team. Sorry people just want to gloss over that fact

I am quite sincerely hanging my Hat on Daboll as the future. 

 

 

I would not be surprised if Daboll becomes the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills (or interim head coach).  When or if that happens will depend on whether we have many more franchise embarrassing losses like we have had this year, last year (and next year presuming McBeane last until next season).

 

I do think that it typically makes sense not to fire a coach in less than two years etc.  One of the problems with this team has been lack of continuity.  Nevertheless, we have had more embarrassing losses in the past year than we have had in a while.   I really hope they can get it together.  I also hope that we can somehow give Josh enough tools around him to develop intro the QB the braintrust thinks he is especially given how much we had to give up to be in position to draft him.

They cut Washinton and needed a DT

Maybe they are planning on running more 2 TE sets

Maybe they think one of the other WR's can play the slot is better, younger, cheaper

Maybe Kerley is really not a super star.....more like a complimentary player

I hate to keep bringing this up but this HC is also the one who led them to the playoffs last year.

So I am giving the assumption they NEED 4DTs.

 

Again what about Lacy or the Career Inactive McDermott. 

 

So again what happens is Ray Rays knee has a set back?

 

so if you want to play the what if game then If McLouds knee isnt ready does having McDermott on the team inactive help Allen over having Kerley on the team?
