When you look at our team/FO/ etc, etc... They came in with a pile of you know what as a team. They came off of Rex/ Whaley regime that strapped this team against the cap and left it talentless. They took that team to the play-offs with none of us expecting it (while completely gutting it in 1 year).... while trying to fix the cap issues.
Say what you want about Beane and McDermott but those that refuse to see the cap as an issue of talent acquisition are simply not seeing the big picture..... money = ability to acquire high end talent and/ or system role players. Where did they spend the available money? Defense... and that defense (which is essentially all Beane and McDermott acquired players) is absolutely balling out.
I think this coming off-season and draft are going to define this regime. They absolutely have to address the offense in every aspect. I do believe Daboll has called some absolutely atrocious games this year, yet we are still competing. I sincerely hope that his inability to call an effective NFL game does not hinder the growth of Josh Allen.
Think about where we are as a team and the cornerstones we have....
Seemingly top 3 secondary (with a second year CB that is most likely a future All-Pro)
A 20 year old stud at MLB (and Milano growing into a nice player)
A young DT that has played well above where he was drafted and has been very impressive
A left tackle that is young and improving with every game
A young first round QB (and this regime believes it's their guy)
80+ Million in cap space next year
10(i believe) draft picks
We have many many important pieces in place for a promising future..... I think we need to be patient and look for the growth of this team and players throughout the rest of this year.
Just my .02....
