Seems like they're finally ready to move on from Tannehill, which should've been done a long time ago. If this is truly their plan, I don't mind 2 easy wins next season. I will enjoy seeing our team on the upswing while the other division foes try to catch up. #GOBILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Dolphins will struggle mightily next year. I expect the Jets to continue the Dolphins legacy of 8-8 football (and they have the perfect coach to do it). I also expect the Bills to be around 8 wins, but hopefully more!

BruceVilanch Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's honestly not a bad plan considering where they are at. Puts them in good position to draft Justin Herbert who will likely be the #1 QB next year. if they were truly committed they should tank for 2021 and try to land Trevor Lawrence from Clemson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 No, Fins, don't do it!!! Don't rebuild!!! Reload again and again. One year of easy wins isn't enough. Reload and give us five more years of fairly easy wins instead of one year of extrmely easy wins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Don't do it. Tannehill has only been in the league 6 years, don't pull the plug now. Just overspend on a few free agents and give it another whirl. If anyone should think about tanking next year, it should be the Patriots. Get rid of the coach and their over the hill QB. Maybe they should pick up Tannehill if available. Maybe an even trade with Miami for Brady. Just offering suggestions, I doubt they'll listen. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I thought they were tanking the last two years when Gase let emotional decisions decide how he coached a football team. Cutler, trading Landry, cutting Suh, signing Frank Gore and using him over Kenyan Drake. Not sure who wants to tank worse the Dolphins or the team who just signed up for three years of Space Case Gase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 A first year coach can't afford to tank these days. Look at Wilks in AZ. He just inherited a bad team overall and got the axe after 1 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 These columnist comments about tanking is nuts. Every coach is trying to save their job, and every player is playing for his contract or tape to be seen by other teams. The only time I would agree was the last game of the Bucs to secure the #1 spot for Winston. They did play hard even with a losing season up to that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Gruden this past year, right now I believe he may have. Others of note The Colts - Suck for Luck The Browns players all draftees and didn't chase after FA's. Its a reason why I thought Hue got the pass for 2 seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the love on Herbert. I just see a way worse version of Josh Allen with P5 shine on him. But I also firmly believe if Josh were at Oklahoma he would have been the #1 pick without question and Baker at Wyoming would have been a borderline 1st rounder.

dpberr Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The Bills, Jets and Dolphins can continue just playing mediocre football for the sake of putting a product on the field or they can get ready to fight it out amongst each other when the Patriots empire comes to an end. ...and that will inevitably occur. Every team goes through a life cycle of rebuilding and competiton. All good things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Tanking has worked for whom? Even the 0-16 Lions in 2008 have never, despite taking Stafford, amounted to much. Cleveland remains an incomplete, yet needed significant changes to their front office, coaching staff and two straight top picks to get to 7 wins. No one, not team management or a fan based has the patience to go through a major rebuild that lasts more than 2 seasons. And that's why I think a lot of Bills fans are going to be disappointed in 2019 when it becomes clear that McBeane always saw this as a 4 year plan. They need to totally overhaul the offense save QB and that'll take 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
