eball Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 ...who was it that said the Bills couldn't "fix" the offense in one offseason and that Beane/McD told the Pegulas it was a four year rebuild? Let me see...three O-linemen, two WRs, a TE -- four or five of them projected starters -- before the draft. It's almost as if -- gasp -- they had a plan for what to do with all of the cap money they cleared by releasing or trading away bad contracts! Just like a lot of us have said all along...this is the year the Bills expect to make the jump to perennial playoff team. 12 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducej11 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I liked that they stayed, for the most part, out of the silly money being thrown around. I don't like when we have to be active on day 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part comes draft time when Beane & Co. can pick the best player available and not overreach for need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 They are doing pretty much exactly what I have been saying they would do all off season and even during the season. Bring in 2 guys likely at WR - Check Sign 2 or 3 Vets on the OL to shore it up - Check Grab a Corner in FA - Check Sign a solid TE (to likely draft a playmaker) - Check I am thrilled up to this point and the best part is we haven't done any bone head contracts like some of the terrible ones going around the NFL like Kwon, Collins, etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s let things play out and see how it all works. On paper and in the field are different. With the “everyone kept saying how FAs don’t have much of an impact” comment I’d say true if your talking about 1-2 guys. But right now we are possibly talking about 3-5 starters on offense. It could make a huge difference. COULD being the key word Edited March 12, 2019 by mrags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him AND McDermott both had the same vision and blueprint for this roster to sustain long term success.
