Happy Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Needs: RB to compliment Singletary. OLB to replace Lorax WR1 taller than 6' Right OT, shift Ford to Guard DE/edge, re-sign Shaq, cut Murphy CB, Wallace is depth and Kevin Johnson should compete for his spot 1-tech DT, no sub 320 lb DTs -- they're not big enough to stop the run and push the guard and center back Coaching: A play caller on offense if Daboll is back. He simply cannot call offensive plays. I don't care if no one else has someone other than the OC calling plays. McD needs to reevaluate his game time coaching philosophy. Too conservative on offense and defense. Enough with the prevent and soft zone, you can't stop the opposing offense and win with a soft defense.

klos63 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Defensive line decisions to be made. Could lose Lawson and Phillips. That's a lot to replace. Spain is a FA, needs to be addressed. WR is a major issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) All Offense, All the time. Upgrade the WR room. Pair Singletary with another stud back. Continue to improve the OL. Maybe upgrade over Kroft. After watching our “elite” defense get shredded by a dead NE team and give up a 16 point second half lead to a Fuller-less Houston in the Playoffs, I don’t want to hear a peep about defense for a while.

BullBuchanan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 They won't make any changes of consequence. They'll bring in a few former busts and try to strike gold, along with a few overpaid vets from Carolina and they'll try to convince us that Danny Amendola is just what we need to put us over the top.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) With 90m of cap space my priorities for FA would be Offense: #1 Hunter Henry (TE) - wow would it be nice to have a real TE. Cut Croft, keep Knox and let him be a good #2. Sweeney and Croom fight it out for #3. Henry would do for us what Andrews did for Balt this year. Austin Hooper would be choice #1B #2 Amari Cooper (WR)- Imagine Cooper, Brown, Beasley with Henry and Singletary. That would be dangerous. #2B would be Nelson Agholor or Randall Cobb along with drafting WR early. #3 Jack Conklin (RT) - Move Ford inside and stabilize RT with Conklin. Make sure we lock up Feliciano and Long. #3B Brian Buluga #4 Kenyon Drake (RB)- I'd love to see Singletary, Drake and Wade in the backfield. Wade may be a pleasant surprise next year. 4B/C I wouldn't mind looking into bringing in Jordan Howard, Jonathan Williams or Ty Montgomery to compete for RB #3 if we decide to draft a #2 instead of Drake. #5 Kyle Allen I thought he did a great job filling in for Cam and we all know how much we love those Carolina boys. He'd be an upgrade to Barkley. Defense: #1 Matthew Judon (LB) is a beast and could take the Lorax spot plus get more sacks. I don't think Shaq Barrett is going to be priced right for us but one can dream. #1B I wouldn't mind if we scooped up Jamie Collins from NE just to weaken them and get intel. I always loved Nigel Bradham and wouldn't mind if he came back on a 2-3 yr deal. Bud Dupree from Pitt would be sweet too #2 Chris Jones (DE) he took a big step this year for KC but may cost more that Shaq. #2B Vic Beasley. #2C Dallas probably won't retain Robert Quinn and Michael Bennet so one of those two could be a nice pickup Realistically, we could get 4-5 of these guys and fill some holes then draft BPA and pick up some more gems at WR/RB/DE/LB/CB 36 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: Yes, sparingly. Hughes and Murphy got most of the rotation. I have no idea why Murphy was in more than Shaq, who was much better than Murphy all season long. Shaq was dealing with a hamstring injury.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 3 hours ago, Rc2catch said: These are the sad takes. He’s not polished but come on that kid left it all on the field. Good and bad. Of all the terrible things that went wrong in that game Allen is the last one to blame. He played possibly his best half ever in the first. They tucked tail in the second half. Nobody watched that game and said “wow the bills are going to need a quarterback” Yes, the majority of the blame goes on McDermott and Daboll halfway thru that 3rd quarter. They butchered an opportunity to attack and go up 23-0. Yes Josh made more stupid plays but he wasn't the reason we lost. He's poorly coached and if you want any chance of him improving, Daboll has to go. This offense is pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We need to get more physical on defense and more explosive on offense. Defensively we have a smart disciplined unit but we saw Philly, New England, and Houston in 2nd half push us around. I’m not sure you could say we have a physical presence anywhere in the back 7. Maybe #29. That dude hits people. Everybody in the back 7 has good cover skills but we need to mix in a couple guys back there who are more physical. Offensively, we need to surround Allen with some playmakers. Brown is a nice vertical weapon and Singletary is a good rotational RB and Beasley a good slot guy, but this offense needs a huge upgrade over Gore and a physical pass catcher that can get some Yards after the catch.

He doesn't hold his edge and contain (usually pushed out of the play by the tackle), he is a liability in the run game because he is too far up field, picked on during screen and misdirection plays because of his lack of position discipline, and usually whiffs on QB sacks and RB tackles. Murphy apologists usually give the he got 5 QB sacks on the season, point to a token play, etc. Those pale in comparison to the plays, tackles, sacks he misses; leaves more on the field than he make. He did not play a great game. I really don't understand why some around here think Murphy is any good; he's not, he's terrible. Washington was right to let him go.

Acattack15 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 My Offseason if I was Brandon Beane: $90 Million in cap space and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 5th, 6th, 6th, 6th picks in 2020 Draft. Resign your own: Matt Milano, LB (extension) Dion Dawkins, LT (extension) Tre White, CB (talk extension early, extension or pick up 5th yr option) Levi Wallace, CB - Depth, low $ Kevin Johnson, CB - Depth Quinton Spain - OG Depth - move to Spencer Long role in 2020 Keep communication and try to resign, but probably let walk due to $ on open market: Jordan Phillips Shaq Lawson Cut: Trent Murphy - Improved through year, but not worth price tag, reinvest savings in rush DE Tyler Kroft - minimally productive, not worth price tag, reinvest in TE Lee Smith - Too many penelties, too much $ Pat Dimarco - FB overpaid and is a young man's position Spencer Long - Decline club option, reinvest savings in Spain extension Free Agency (in order of priority): **Rush Defensive End (one of following): Yannick Ngakoue, 25 Bud Dupree, 27 Matthew Judon, 27 Offensive Tackle Jack Conklin, 26 - young, good fit, Tenn will struggle to have cap space due to DHenry Move Cody Ford (who i like and think will improve alot with an offseason) to starting LG B Option: Daryl Williams Tight End Hunter Henry, 25 or Austin Hooper, 25 Henry/Hooper would be a huge help to Josh Allen and also move Knox into TE#2 spot. Turns a position of weakness into strength Cornerback Byron Jones, 27 James Bradbury, 27 OLB AJ Klein Nigel Bradham Depth DT Backup QB: Marcus Mariota Kyle Allen Punter Need to Improve Punter either in FA or Draft.... sneaky need NFL Draft: 1st Round: WR or CB2 Laviska Shenault Jr., WR - Colorado Tee Higgins, WR - Clemson Trevon Diggs, CB - Alabama 2nd Round: WR or CB2 Michael Pittman Jr.,WR - USC Tyler Johnson, WR - Minnesota Kristian Fulton, CB - LSU 3rd Round: RB Najee Harris, RB - Alabama Overall I think its super important to improve pass catchers for young QB and improve WR room. I love John Brown and Cole Beasley, but we are missing a "Z" with some size (over 6ft 1in) that is a possession receiver. I think this is huge. I also think adding a stud RT and moving Cody Ford to LG drastically improves two positions of weakness. Getting better pass rush out of our DE's is also a top priority imo. Depth Chart: QB: Josh Allen, Mariota/Allen RB: Devin Singletary, Najae Harris, Yeldon WR: Shenault, Duke Williams, Andre Roberts WR: John Brown, Robert Foster WR: Cole Beasley TE: Hunter Henry, Dawson Know, Tommy Sweeney LT: Dion Dawkins LG: Cody Ford , Quintin Spain C : Mitch Morse RG: Jon Feliciano RT: Jack Conklin , Ty Nsekhe DE: Yannick Ngakoue DT: Star Lotulelei, Harrison Phillips DT: Ed Oliver, DE: Jerry Hughes, Daryl Johnson MLB: Trumaine Edmunds OLB: Matt Milano OLB: Klein/Bradham CB: Bryon Jones, Levi Wallace CB: Tre White, Kevin Johnson , Taron Johnson SS: Jordan Poyer, Jaquan Johnson FS: Micah Hyde, Siran Neal K: Stephen Hauska P: *** Someone Better than Bojorquez LS: Furgeson KR: Andre Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy shouldn't be too difficult to replace in FA. I certainly wouldn't advocate jettisoning individuals without at least a thought in mind to replace them. I'm sure Beane is well aware of this.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Unfortunately, the biggest offseason change we need is at head coach. But he's here for at least two more years of futility. His gameday coaching is just not good enough. This article posted by wppete says it all. He should be fired for going for it on 4th and 27 alone. https://www.sportingnews.com/g00/us/nfl/news/nfl-playoffs-2020-bills-sean-mcdermott-coach-bad-calls/1hmflvozh6wsi1vbwi4iax3o7v?i10c.ua=1&i10c.encReferrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8%3d&i10c.dv=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on this board are too quick to blame the offense and think our defense can do no wrong. That’s just not the case. Our offense has its deficiencies for sure, but the defense deserves some of the blame for yesterday’s collapse. Fact of the matter is elite offenses can beat elite defenses. It’s time that we put valuable, premium resources into the offense. If they don’t, then why did they make the moves to get Allen in the first place? They have turned him into a game manager and gave him second tier (at best) weapons. Give him some good protection and another elite receiver and take the chains off him.

CEN-CAL17 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Murphy, Kroft, Nsekhe = Roughly $15M saved if let go.... That’s roughly the Market for DE Yannick Ngakoue. TJ Yeldon, Lee Smith, Andre Roberts is roughly $5-6M... sprinkle is a little extra and that’s Shaq Lawson money... Resign Jordan Phillips DL is pretty solid. Hughes, Ngakoue, Shaq, Johnson, Draft? Harrison, Phillips, Star, Oliver FA- Kyler Fackrell to replace Lorax role, Draft LB.... RB2 is HUGE!!!! Jordan Howard!!!!! Gotta draft a top RT, there’s about 5 potential round 1 OTs. That’s BPA and position of need @ pick 22. There could be a potential large amount of legit WRs from Picks 50-75. A playoff win would have been a great recruiting tool for FAs, but I think we look attractive regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
