D Coordinators will have a better game plan against Jackson, and Fangio is an excellent Defensive mind for the Broncos. My vote is Denver, but am not underestimating the defense of the Ravens. The Broncos have the horses to do it with Chub and Miller.

Good take OP. I’m not worried, just hate to have to wait so many months for the first regular game. We can have fun with free agency and then the draft, and even a couple of UDFA, but the gap after is awful. I think we should be happy with the results In April.

I never wish an injury on any player, not saying you want it either, but I’m speculating we have to put up with Brady and possibly Belicheck for two more years. By then Brady is 43, Belicheck is 68, every player heals slower and slower as they get older. Even tEnCal Ripken of the NFL, Favre only made it to 42. Granted he played a different type of game, but TB’s family will put more and more pressure on him to retire.

It’s a good take and I’d be more than pleased on the high end going 10-6, and one wildcard win. I know we won’t be ready for a SB run, but a lot can happen with $74 mil minus the draft. My guess is we pick up two O Lineman, and two WR’s. (I’ve already on other threads mentioned who we should target). They will need to hold back at least $5-7 mil for the emergency fund, and another $15-20 mil to extend good players in 2020. That is at most $57 mil available to use before and after the draft. The point that we were horrible in free agency is not complete. We had some misses in Ducasse and Benjamin (I’m including trades and acquisitions), but we also found some gems in Foster, McKenzie, and White. They also had to be picky with $54 mil in cap hell, and prepare for this upcoming two years. I agree with good choices, coaching, and players performing at their best, 2020 and after are the years we get the old Bills back that were winners. I feel bad for the younger generation who only know losing or mediocrity. From 1988-2009, we went to the playoffs almost every one of those years. It wasn’t just the four SB losses, but we still were going to the playoffs with great defense under Wade, and Butler.

The threat of him running and he avoids hits. His only injury was a pass play in the pocket, and hope he can get rid of the ball faster. He’ll keep progressing we all hope this off season.

Fair point BadolBilz. I just see McCoy having a much better year with a solid line. He hasn’t lost a step, he was trying too hard dancing around because our atrocious line couldn’t provide any openings like Richie and Wood were good for in most games. We have so many needs on offense, I think they would roll with a rotation between Lawson and Murphy. Star art did his space eating job minus that last Pats game where we were torched for 273 rushing yards. That was embarrassing for the entire defense.

You may be right, but the only ones on you’re list I believe are likely are Ducasse and Ivory.

It’s about time. Another $4.5 mil available. More will get cleaned out once we get through free agency and the draft, we’ll see which O Lineman get cut. We also are expecting another chunk when advertised of the expected increase in the cap. Ratings for TV were up from last year.

TMaster, did it look pretty close to authentic.

Thatbis what I was wondering if these were knock offs.

They shouldn’t have given him a dime.

He’s far past his prime. This team is focused on players ascending or in their prime.

It will never happen.

He has absolutely no common sense. I’ll be happy when I don’t hear his name anymore.

Scott, it does when you have only one year under you’re belt as taken after the draft, purged 54 mil in dead cap weight, and now are in a position to pick up agents and a solid draft. Then next year we see what he does talent wise then and how well he retains good talent by using $ wisely. Then we can make a solid determination on Beane. A lot of people were raving about Whaley prematurely, and then everyone piled on him. Working in Mgmt in a high end industry takes time sometimes to assess talent, work people out and in so you have a winning team. Im not saying he’s made some mistakes, but so did Polian, Brandt, and Wolf. This is by their own admission. Polian who is often spoken fondly on this board said he was happy if he could hit on 60% of his drafts. That’s on NFLR, if you don’t believe me, or ask him yourself next Tuesday night on late hits.

A lot of if’s on this thread. Why don’t we stay focused on free agency, and then move onto the draft. Everything will shake out by late March.

Pass.

I don’t know why so many people want to pile on Beane when he may have advised the year before, but only really was in charge of one free agency and draft. Some people want to point to every failure, but that counters with decent trade values, and picking up Foster and McKenzie late. It’s a work in progress so in two years we can make a good assessment of both people.

Um, how about no. Pick up good talent, hold some money back for next year and make the most out of the draft. How many teams made a SB run by dumping drafts and salary cap for a ton of free agents. That would be none.

A great leader even with his young mistakes for this city. Hopefully he’s done with surgeries. The poor guy needs it.

I watched every game he played in Tampa and was less than average. I can’t speak to his time afterwards.

Paradis and Saffold. Tackles in the draft. Boom.

AB would never get picked up by us even if we had the money, etc. He’s said so many negative things over social media about players, coaches, strategy. If I remember he had taped some discussions in the locker room. He’s not worth it.

Agreed Bmarv. I thought for a time, it would be a great addition, but the more info I have on this guy and his personality, there is zero chance, Beane and McD pick him up.

The Evil Empire. They should play the dark side of Star Wars every time they go on the field. Gisele is as crazy as a $3 bill, and Brady is not far off.
