wppete Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Looks like we had a decent season this year but we are at least another year away of being serious contenders. In your opinion what changes need to be made this offseason to improve this team? We have roughly $90 million in cap space and 10 draft picks. Do you think McDermott will make coaching changes.

RobbRiddick Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I could see them getting a CB in round one (even though everyone will want WR) to go opposite Trey. Personally I like MCD's ability to plug guys into this defense, even lower round draft picks, and get results, so I'm not worried about the D. I'd go all in on the offense during early rounds of the draft and early in FA. Couple of WRs, another RB to replace Gore, a couple more o linemen. I'd also consider drafting a QB in the 3rd or 4th round. Not to replace Allen, but to have another option besides Barkley should Allen get injured on one of his many runs. Once I get over this awful loss I'll be quite optimistic about having another good offseason and what that could bring us. Also, you have to think a lot more FAs will want to come to Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are thinking about getting a new quarterback. This. Our QBs lack of situational awareness is staggering at times. The number of times he's taken sacks or grounded the ball on the cusp of field goal range is truly mind boggling. His inability to execute the basics is shocking for a player who can make such spectacular plays from time to time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In terms of people dumping on Allen. Yeah, he made some shocking decisions in the second half, but overall what does he have to improve Vs the things he does right? Look at it this way, if he connected on say... 3 of those deep passes this season I don't think people would be saying this stuff. He can correct that stuff and I think he will. With a game breaking WR who is big, fast and can go up for contested balls, it'll make a huge amount of difference to his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock'em Sock'em Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Order of importance: Allen continues to improve Add multiple play makers on offense such as Henry and Green. A RB that demands extra attention and a WR that can beat cover 0. Add a pressure machine on defense such as Ngakoue. Add a CB in the first round and a WR in the second round of the draft. Have Knox and Singletary work on hands all off-season. Singletary with six catches today! Great to see. I don't know how much of our $100M cap space that we will willing to push in, but do those things and this team will be noticeably better next year.

DuckyBoys Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Improve the weapons around Allen. Need to change coaching philosophy and start playing to win and not to lose. Much as Josh Allen needs to continue to improve and mature we need McDermott to step his game up. He seems way too comfy playing all these one possession football games. Need a long look at personnel decisions Cant have wr and rb spots occupied by special teamers Need guys who make plays on offense and defense who happen to also be good on special teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year is hosting and winning a playoff game as a baseline expectation. Preferably more than 1 but anyone expecting less than that should also be calling for change. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Hutz Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Does it really matter at this point? This team will just find new ways to disappoint.

In your opinion what changes need to be made this offseason to improve this team? We have roughly $90 million in cap space and 10 draft picks. Do you think McDermott will make coaching changes. A legit receiver is needed. A possession receiver who’s bigger and tougher than Beasely. I wouldn’t care if this was Duke. He seems like the kind of blue collar guy we all seem to love and we could keep him cheap. A Pounding Big Back to take Gore’s place. A complimentary smaller back if we get rid of Yeldon, Maybe Knox becomes dependable but I wouldn’t mind another TE and get rid of Kroft and Smith. O Line Help. If you give Josh time , he can kill the other team. I would rather draft a day one starting Tackle ahead of a receiver. Shaq is gone. We need them to sniff out more D help but I trust them more on the D side to do this. I’m still not sure about Daboll. Sometimes we look great, sometimes lost and uninspired. Maybe it is lack of talent and continuity? Our special teams is a weakness. We need a new punter and maybe it’s time to start finding Haushka’s replacement. A new coach may be in order. I’d like to see the D stress Turnovers next year. I can’t name a score by them this year. That sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we seen the easiest of throws 4 feet above the guys head? Or bounced 2 feet in the dirt? He was hitting those today and kept the chains moving the whole first half. He was in rhythm throwing better than I have seen him. There were a lot of weird and bad plays. But overall I came away very impressed with his first half. He was putting throws in good places. It didn’t last. He got out of rhythm. But even as bad as the terrible series and sacks were I seen nothing that said he needs to be replaced.

dgrochester55 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) This team is more complete than any Bills team has been in a long time. There are a few missing pieces between good and great. For me the needs would be. 1) Tackle-Dawkins is decent, but Ford is a turnstile. 2) Wide Receiver- Williams and McKenzie improved and are good depth, but adding a true number one to complement Brown and Beasley would open up the offense. 3) Linebacker- With Alexander gone, you have Edmonds, Milano and no one else who is proven. 4) Running back- Singletary looks like the real deal, but a good team has multiple options at running backs. Gore is not getting any younger and Yeldon is not an answer 5) Backup Quarterback. I know that there are many Barkley fans, but this position could use an upgrade. I personally think that last year's Jets game was an outlier and that what we saw from Barkley in the Patriots and Jets games this year is what we would see more of if Allen went down for a few games.

HappyDays Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 New RT and #1 WR are the most important changes. Gore will be replaced which by default will be a good move.
