BillsVet Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 9 hours ago, Buffalo Boy said: Upon seeing this and thinking about the Shady move, the release makes sense. My GUESS is they realize this is still a “ rebuilding” year in terms of the O needing a year to really Gel. Shady is not the future and by next year, with the addition of some more O skill position players, we should be formidable on both sides of the ball. Offensive rebuilding in year 3 of the overall rebuild? Not quite. The reality is, contracts end, players age, and injuries happen. You don't wait to pass the line of departure, i.e. go for the SB, because you're a little weak at WR or LB. You make the moves to win now (at year 3 of a rebuild) and try to win it all. Look at what Houston did today. They're going for it, and while they might fail, O'Brien's gotta win now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The 2017 Rams added 3 new WRs. Woods, Sammy, and Cupp. Return of a rookie QB like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 While it's a completely new look for the team, I'm HIGHLY skeptical that they'll be very much improved over last year's group. I still think this is likely a bottom 5-10 unit unless someone like Foster breaks out. IMO, we've already seen the best of guys like Brown, Beasley, Gore, Kroft, and Yeldon and none of that is good enough to propel us into being a potent offense. We really need Robert Foster to shock the league and turn into a superstar and one of the two rookie TE's to prove the should have been drafted in the 2nd. I like Singletary, but I think he's a complimentary back, based on being so slow and small. It's hard to have a great offense when you don't have a RB capable of taking it to the house or a WR who's open even when he's covered. Only team I can think of that's built like that is the Pats, and Brady/Belichick nullify all standard rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Rams, Saints, Falcons all will disagree. I also think Cleveland's offense is potent if they can get their OL settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill O’ Brien is starting his SIXTH year as the Houston’s head coach and is very much on the coaching hot seat. So, yeah, he has to win now. When your whole offensive unit has been turned over in a single season I think it is appropriate to call it a rebuild. I’m calling for an 11-5 record for the Bills so I don’t think I’m underselling the team. Having your second year QB ( first year starter at the beginning of the season) build chemistry with his new rookie running back as a mean to an end: years of deep runs in the playoffs , isn’t “ An attempt to not “ try to win it all” . It is laying the foundation for a bright future instead of holding onto the past with a clearly over the hill star. Future vs past. Reddogblitz shame on you?

Those other teams are all polar opposites of the patriots. The Rams have 3 great WRs and a top 3 RB (pre-knee issues), the saints have the best young WR in football and a top 5 RB, and the falcons have Julio Jones, a plethora of other weapons and Devonta Freeman. They aren't anything like NE's traditional blend of jobbers outside Julian Edelman and a committee of 9 RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBeane have done a masterful job at buying time for themselves to date. This is the year that all has to end and the results need to materialize. I just hope Pegula understands that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
