Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 12 hours ago, Kevin1778 said: These guys deserve a thread pointing out what a good job they have done. Other than not sticking with Peterman for at least 4 games (trusting the process) and giving Allen a few games to learn a thing or two, they have actually done a great job. They panicked and rushed him along. Mistake. However, what they have done has been nothing short of a miracle. They made a decision to try to build a team that can win a championship, not just be a 9-7 team every year. This is what great leaders do. They have a plan and stick with it. 4 HUGE SUCCESSES 1) In their first year, they brought the Bills to the playoffs for the first time in 17years. 2) They got a franchise QB. 3) They built a top 10 defense. 4) They cleared out a ton of bad contracts and have $91 million in cap space for 2019. Great leaders have a plan and they stick with it. and they will continue to do so, can't wait for the championships . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their goal is to build a team that consistently competes for championships. It's way way too early to see what kind of job they are doing. I'm really really hopeful, but so far they have done a good job only at following their plan. How will that plan work out? Too early to say. They still have a ton to prove. I do like the tenets of the plan. They're smart and committed. But plenty of smart and committed team leaders have failed. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpsredemption Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 ....they have done a good job at shipping out talent that has produced for other teams across the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayoffsPlease Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) The current regime inherited a roster and cap situation that was not conducive to building a championship caliber team. They did the easy part, they tore down what was there. They seem to be struggling with the next part building it up. If Josh Allen turns out to be an excellent QB, then then they have accomplished the most important part. If not, it is a reasonable question to ask if they are the correct regime to assess QBs. I really like Allen. But we do know they passed on a couple of guys, in Mahomes and Watson. Edited October 23, 2018 by PlayoffsPlease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george c Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Stay the course... ‘young coach, young GM, young QB. They will learn, grow and it’s not going to be easy, but will pay off in the end. Edited October 23, 2018 by George C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george c Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 So let’s just be the browns and hit reset for the next decade.. At some point, we have to let them grow, learn and develop, or we’ll be shipping them off to build a winner elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Allen Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Overall, it's been a mixed bag. McDermott's blind spot for Peterman was a killer. They overestimated the OL's ability to succeed without Wood and Incognito. They also misjudged KB and Jones' skills, which left them without a bona fide #1 (or #2) receiver. On the plus side, they're close to having an excellent defense. They paid too much for Murphy and Loletuli, but they've been solid. They've drafted well (other than Jones). It's too early to judge Allen, but I'll give them credit for taking the gamble on him. I'm not sure how effective Daboll's game plan can be with such a lack of talent. The process called for a step back, but nobody foresaw the offense being a dumpster fire. In the end I'm content letting McBeane continue playing this out, rather than hitting the reset button again too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigs Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Lmao, no. Beane trading away talent for “his” players is less leadership and more narcissistic than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
