I'd like to encourage everyone to remember there are still a  ton of FA's on the market, quality ones too. Stop freaking the  out already.

The Bills also don't have massive gaps that can't be plugged in via the draft either. I would like to see a vet corner and edge rusher added to the defense and maybe go after Landry or another slot receiver or a guard for depth/competition. Either way there is plenty of options for the Bills to plug some gaps.

Our time was the last 2 years on Allen’s rookie deal, we blew it. We will still be a playoff team but tough to fill all holes with that large qb cap hit. Look at what the chargers were able to do with Herbert on his rookie deal. They are a better team than us next year. 

I agree with part of that....but I still like our squad over Chargers because we have Josh Allen and they don't. Maybe I'm a homer, but IDGAF.

I guess Beane has decided to raid the Wegman’s dumpsters. Maybe we will get lucky and find some half eaten toaster strudels. 

[Jerboski]

Don’t see how we can expect to beat the chiefs or others with the current group 

 

josh allen played literally the best he could have and sean and the defense still couldn’t get us a win 

 

you aren’t winning a super bowl standing pat, you couldn’t beat them last year why do you think it will work with less now

The cap is going to continue to rise. Money is going to present itself. The Chargers haven't won anything. They haven't even MADE the Playoffs. We have with Josh having a middling OL, one star WR, a TE on the rise, sub-par RB's, and a bunch of role players. You doom and gloomers, "the sky is falling" types need to realize that we are the ones NOT going anywhere as long as we have a healthy Josh Allen. Our window is just starting and will be open for the next 8-10 years or better. 

[MiltonWaddams]

I feel like I should join in the panic...but I think we can save that for a few days. At this point, we have had a fool flip on us and a guy price himself out of our market. Other than that, it's much ado about nothing...

Yeah, good luck with that. Eeyore gonna Eeyore. Maybe they could all change their avatars to the crying Jordan meme though. That would at least be entertaining.

Our window… allen played as good as he possibly could and guess what we will got bounced 

 

you are wrong, sitting pat means an early playoff exit 

[ndirish1978]

I am quite concerned about the D as it stands. White may not be around at the start of the season and we would be starting Dan Jackson and Cam Lewis at the boundaries with very little in the way of a pass rush. Obviously it's just day 1, but these are things that MUST be fixed.

We need to see what happens in the draft. Also when training camp/preseason rolls around many good/useful players get cut as teams try to get to their final rosters. Have to figure Beane will take advantage with this as well.

I agree but no one can disagree that our best time to win was the last two years.

We aren’t going to find the edge pass rusher we need at 25, unless we plan on trading the pick I don’t see the draft as a viable option to correct the pass rush for this coming season

This assumes that everything would play out the same agains which is not reality. Sometimes u need to get lucky in the playoffs. See the Bengals this year.

 

Also, seeing how loaded the AFC West is maybe the Bills can avoid the chiefs in the playoffs. Id gladly take a SB even if they dont beat the chiefs on the way

A year of Development of Groot and Boogie are 100% a viable option That is reality

 

Do you or do you NOT remember Allens rookie year?  Did he or Did h not Progress?

Disagree, Groot can start but Boogie has not shown he can be a viable starter. You can't rely on projections when you're in the middle of a SuperBowl window. We absolutely need a DE1 and CB2 in the worst way.

[thenorthremembers]

Still pass rushers out there.   Za'Darius Smith, Jason Pierre Paul, Derek Barnett decent players with some risk.   Danielle Hunter available for trade.   Could always bring back Addison of all else fails. 

 

I have faith in Beane getting a decent player without overspending.

Not disagreeing that he could be good, but Allen was not good his 1st 2 years, he was ascending in year 2. We cannot waste a year due to no pass rush.

How do we know we do not have any pass rush?  That is the POINT.

Right, you have an opinion and I said I disagreed. Both opinions are valid and there is quite literally no way to prove either point correct or incorrect. I'm not bashing you or angling for a fight.

Quick question...

 

Let's say Beane decided to make a BIG move for an edge rusher in 2021.  He either spends big money on a top free agent (J.J. Watt, Carl Lawson, Trey Hendrickson, Carlos Dunlap), or makes the mid-season trade to get Von Miller. 

 

Can you say without question that one of those guys would have made the difference in the Divisional Playoff game?

Idk man all pretty risky or washed. Hunter is the only one with big payoff potential imo

I am not either.  but we literally are 10 minutes into the new year and the mood around he is well in the dumps.  Our Window is fully open and will remain open as long as 17 is the QB.  I suggest sit back and enjoy the ride this offseason knowing that.  Beane IMO has earned that faith.

 

Everything the AFC teams are doing right NOW is just trying to close the gap between them and Us and Chiefs.  that is the reality.

Standing pat doing nothing and not doing what a bunch of armchair GM's think is necessary to win the SB are two COMPLETELY different things. Settle is an upgrade with a ton of upside. Jones is a good, run stuffing 1 Tech. We're talking to Akiem Hicks. Saffold has been a quality player for years and is reuniting with his former OL coach here. Beane and McDermott will continue to look for ways to upgrade the roster. They're not standing pat, they're just not doing what you want them to do so the sky in your little bubble is falling.
