PUNT750 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I really can’t believe the 3 year re-build plan for the Bills will have much success in 2019. Regardless of 10 draft picks and $90 mil in cap space it doesn’t make sense. Realistically we need new, quality; O Lineman (3), WR (3), RB (2), LB (1), TE (1), DB (1), DL (1) That’s 12 total to be competitive!! We’re going to have to over-pay for quality, top tier free-agents to come to Buffalo. We all know the risks with drafts picks in their rookie seasons (Zay Jones, Teller, McCloud and even Edmunds). It just doesn’t happen. I love believing in the PROCESS but with a young, raw QB who is still unproven while trying to blend a plethora of new players into a competent NFL team seems unrealistic. It may sell tickets but not win a lot of games. GO BILLS! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 So what should we do then? Just give up on 2019 already? 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 We’re gonna need more ‘3 year plans’ than Stalin had ‘5 year plans’. Call J.P. Ricciardi, formerly with the Blue Jays; he had a new plan every spring training. He’ll have some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need more than but with that they can compete. Specially if you assume, logically, that you will have a second year improved Allen and Foster 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we actually become a top tier contender? 2020? 2021? How long do we have to wait? This BS tear down thingy was BS and unneeded if we aren't going to be competative until 2020 or later. Uncalled for when we made the playoffs in 2017, with Rex players at that. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a mess. 1 minute ago, No Place To Hyde said: I'd say just punt 2019 away, but Darr would likely shank that too. Might as well just go for it and see what happens. I'd like to know if Crossman brought him in?? What a mess. He can't punt, he's slow to get the punt off - and - he can't hold the ball for the place kicker!!! Who's running the show??

The only truly significant losses were two offensive lineman. Not quite sure why they regressed so much. You'd think with a better QB and a year in McDermott's defensive system, they'd improve enough in other areas to make up for those losses and even build on that modicum of success. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I think the OP has a point, although there’s no need to be so negative. Next year there will be a big influx of new talent; some from the draft, and some as free agents. With a large influx of new teammates, it will take time for the team to gel. Next year may start off a little rough, but if the talent is any good, the team should get better pretty quickly. It may take until the 2020 season for the team to start to be dominant on a regular basis. Of course the talent evaluators and the coaches have to be good at their jobs for any of this to play out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams draft and get free agents as well, so in order to improve we need to also do more than other teams. We didn't. Lots of heavy lifting yet to do for Beane. Let's hope he makes some good moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
