N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Given what we've seen in the last two days (loss of 50% of secondary, starting wr/lb/other), is there any way we aren't entering into a rebuilding situation?
Don't stop billievein Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 No. Kyle Williams and Tyrod would not be on this team if it was a rebuild.
GunnerBill Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Nope. But I am not convinced that we shouldn't be seeing it that way. I am not advocating a tank but I think they should be seeing this year more akin to 2013... new coach, some surgery on the roster get it primed for a run in 2018 like Marrone had in 2014.
buffaloboyinATL Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 16 years and counting... I think to RE-build you have to assume there was something there is the recent past. Maybe more accurate to say we are just building.
jeffismagic Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Nope. But I am not convinced that we shouldn't be seeing it that way. I am not advocating a tank but I think they should be seeing this year more akin to 2013... new coach, some surgery on the roster get it primed for a run in 2018 like Marrone had in 2014. That's exactly what should be happening.
Mr. WEO Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 this is the post-dates pregnancy... By the time this baby comes out, it will be shaving, driving and eligible to vote...
billieve420 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Bills are not rebuilding due to them keeping Taylor. They think they can win and win now. I wouldn't have been opposed to a Full rebuild if we had decided to let Taylor walk which is what the Jets look to be doing this year.
blizzardman Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Aaron Williams was a good soldier while here but I wouldn't call him a true loss considering how little he's played in two years. He probably shouldn't have been planning on playing at all this year. I have a feeling that's why he was released.
TPS Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 New systems on O and D, so they are "re-tooling" with players that fit the systems. Looks like SM is making O a priority before filling in some depth on D.
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Bills are not rebuilding due to them keeping Taylor. They think they can win and win now. I wouldn't have been opposed to a Full rebuild if we had decided to let Taylor walk which is what the Jets look to be doing this year. I'll disagree with you on this. He is on a short-term, relatively risk free 2 year contract. This screams we are drafting a future QB this year or next.
jrober38 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 No, but we should be. We have no secondary and no receivers. We're still stuck on fixing the run game and don't seem to understand that it's 2017 and Wide Receivers and Defensive Backs are more important than Running Backs and Full Backs.
Mark Vader Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Can't exactly say it is a rebuild. Not until we see more of what they do in free agency.
CommonCents Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Looks like they didn't want to commit one way or the other. 2017 is the year of the promise ring.
Figster Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Given what we've seen in the last two days (loss of 50% of secondary, starting wr/lb/other), is there any way we aren't entering into a rebuilding situation? Gilmore never lived up to expectations and A Williams had become injury prone. Drafting DB's is what the Bills do best IMO.
Rockpile233 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I have low expectations for next year. I find it hard to believe they can fill all the glaring holes as well as improve depth to deal with the brutal season. DB positions aren't easy pickups for rookies either. Luckily it projects to be a decent draft for some of the need positions. I'll try being patient.
