ShipUPride Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have very big concerns about the long-term impact that the "2019 spending spree" may cause. Given that this GM and HC have shown absolutely no ability to judge offensive talent, if they are choosing how we spend 80 million in 2019, that means we likely have large, long term contracts (on offense) that will carry multiple years forward. Here is how I look at it: Year 1: Average football team that backs itself into the playoffs. Overall record: 9-8 Year 2: Horrific handling of the QB situation (among other positions). Anticipated overall record: 3-13 Year 3: 80 million poorly spent on offensive weapons that have little to no impact. Possible overall record: 7-9. McDermott Fired! Year 4: New coach inherits team with no salary cap space, long term contracts on offense. Fire sale commences. Year 5: Rebuild is on... again. Anyone else have this fear? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 That is the story of this organization. You left out the part of the former players starting for other winning teams. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The good news is it's hopefully only a 4 year plan: year 1 don't draft a QB and watch as good QB's get drafted after your pick, year 2 trade away anyone with talent so you can move up and draft a QB with less talent than the QB's you passed on, years 2-3 said QB is exposed as a fraud and coaches fired, year 4 new coach drafts a new QB.

Chuck Wagon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well, if we are in year 2, hopefully we'll see: Offseason - draft Bosa or Oliver, otherwise load up on rebuilding the Oline and adding offensive playmakers through draft and FA. Next year, we'll be garbage again because I have little faith in Allen or this offensive coaching staff. Hire an smart offensive head coach to replace McD and draft Tua, continue to rebuild offensive support talent. 2020, Tua at QB with a rebuilt offense and an offensive head coach, along with a defense featuring Bosa or Oliver / Edmunds / White as the backbone. 2020 or 2021 we are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this scenario is possible. But it's also possible that our rebuild plan works. Even the most optimistic Bills fans (who are very pleased with the direction of this franchise) totally expected this kind of result for 2018. The team is exactly where most of us expected them to be near the midpoint of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
