Well he could hypothetically just pick the new gm.  Again.  Someone there's chemistry with.  Maybe that pool opened up more since he started wearing the Lisa Loeb glasses.

The best WR in the world wouldn't have helped Josh last night the way the O-line played.  They were absolutely awful, Dawkins was pathetic.

They were bad, Brown hurt of course.  But a quick separator would have helped a lot.  We have no one that bails him out.

They’re not doing anything drastic with the new stadium opening next year imo. 

What scares me is what is the motivation to put a good product on the field with a new stadium?  Guaranteed sellouts moving forward with the PSL’s.

I have. I think almost nothing would rejuvenate the fan base more than bringing in fresh blood and a second set of eyes regarding this team. I can't imagine how low the overall mood and level of enthusiasm will be if we decide to run it back again with the same philosophy and players.

I get that perspective and am hopeful something drastic happens but I don’t think it will. 
 

Since the Pegulas took ownership and hired beane as GM the value of the bills has, something like, doubled.

I have been critical of many of Beane's picks (Coleman and Elam especially), but one counterpoint - drafting last or near it for six straight years makes it hard to stay on top.  The Texans got 50 draft picks for Watson, they should have some players.

If im Josh i walk into Pegulas office and tell him this crap dies t work for me. Time for a real team. If there are no changes I will sit on my ass and not play. I’m not getting hurt for these marshmallow soft dbags anymore. There needs to be change. Now

 

like Stevie said. It’s time for Josh to be an #######.

Exit interviews should be interesting at the end of the season.

Too much dead cap.  
 

A “rebuild” is not in the cards for this team unless you can tell us how we can operate with 40 plus million in cap space starting in 2027.  
 

By then, that’s 2 more years of Josh wasted.  
 

 

And why finding replacements for Beane and McD will be tricky - new regime isn’t inheriting a team with 100 mill in cap space. 
 

It will be inheriting a roster of old overpaid jags that may not match their philosophy.  
 

 

 

This is fast approaching a complete catastrophe.  

The cap situation for 2026 is a huge problem,  most likely the reason why Beane did not want to trade 2026 first for Waddle

 

Knox- 17m

Milano-11m

Dawkins-25m

Samuel-9.7m

Johnson-11.5m

 

You have a mediocre TE Knox making 17 mil and expect to have cap space to pay a #1 receiver,  not sure how they can expect to improve without tanking for a least one season

Terrible cap management-trying to keep the band together... Only led to a soft, complacent team

What are the ultimate trade away options if Buffalo calls it a rebuild process?

The Bills have been in a rebuilding process IMO.

 How exactly has that worked over 3 decades and multiple coaching staffs? Sounds like their coaching staff might be required to be a bit more flexible and use the talent that Newsome drafts... 

 

So the guy I speak to has only been on staff in the DaCosta regime. So I can't speak to Newsome but Newsome is a Belichick protege and he was famous for player specifications and the smallest draft board in the NFL.
