You forgot Miller - Ducasse :lol:

 

Milloy - Donte

 

Fletcher - Poz

 

McGahee - Lynch

 

Clements - McKelvin

 

 

If you are not getting better......you are getting worse.

 

And as for your list......I see considerably lesser talents AND expiring contracts in Matthews and Gaines.......Bills opted out on Watkins 5th year and Darby had 2 years left.

Losing Milloy, Fletcher, and Clements was far worse, they were proven, bonafide NFL players. Everyone gone from GG's list were questionable except Gilmore IMO.

I'll repost this running tally

Sammy Watkins - Matthews

Mike Gillislee - JW

Ron Darby EJ Gaines

Robert Woods - Zay

Cyrus Kouandjio - ???

Stephon Gilmore - White

Goodwin - Clay

Ragland - (non event)

Zac B - Hodges

Seymour - Wright

I don't see talent drop-off in any spot except for Sammy (and I'm convinced there was more to it than "signability")

Pretty much all the new guys have to maximize their potential for them not to be a dropoff

Imagine that, BADOL playing both sides of the fence to always appear right in retrospect?

 

Only a decade ago, Bills were idiots for cutting coachable veterans and backfilling developmental, bottom of roster type spots with street free agents, because that's what the Detroit skinflint would allow his team to spend.

 

 

Imagine GG trying to create a narrative about my opinion because he's been embarrassed by me calling out his lazy, misinformed takes so many times on TSW. :lol:

 

I wasn't against keeping the vets........I was ALL for keeping the veterans on this team and trying to win and build upon that.

 

But when you dump the young veteran talent and have a roster that is nothing but old players, expiring contracts and rookies........that's not building ANYTHING.

Question what is the Core to build around on the Bills?

I think it's Glenn and 2018 QB on offense. On defense they're going to hope Brown takes the next step, Dareus stays out of trouble, and Hughes can play at a high enough level for 3 more seasons before they have to pick a DE high.

Two is one day. Awesome

Glad to be of service.

 

A lot of griping over losing players who aren't superstars.

 

Sure there are a few I would have like to have seen remain but this is a business and a new regime.

Got to roll with the changes.

I actually am not upset at all about any move. Its fine. This team is a transition year anyway and was never going to be good.

 

More so i think people can and should now take the GM speak and coach speak with a grain of salt.

 

 

At end of the day the Success of Beane and McD will be dependent on finding a QB like every GM and Coach in this league

Why, because they didn't listen to you????????

Don't forget Tre White and Shaq Lawson. And don't discount our safeties Hyde and Poyer.

 

On offense, Zay Jones.

Yeah I'm liking Jones a lot more than I thought I would.

 

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I can see a plan. It's just the getting there that's taking us into unfamiliar territory, but hey...so are the playoffs.

Exactly.

 

It's a matchup league......if you don't have matchup advantages your coaching better be off the hook good.

 

Watkins is a guy you throw to regardless of who is covering him..........a good CB puts a lid on Matthews and that puts more pressure on subsequent WR matchups......Matthews is not a real #1 WR when healthy, let alone injured.

 

I like what I've seen of McDermott's defense but the reality is that it's a zone-only pass defense in a league ruled by wise, 35 year old zone dissecting QB's so it's only going to take you so far without the Jimmy's and Joe's.

Maybe because fans see and dont buy the whole compete message that they are loading up with Vets for.

 

There is no core on this team. Just a bunch of vets that are gone in a year or two.

 

And a FO that says otherwise

Because thier "Earn it message" falls flat when their guys are protected or traded for
