jethro_tull Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 trading dareus was the last contradiction to "win now" that the players could overlook.

Same old, same old. The OLine was fine today. Not even on the Top 10 list of reasons why the Bills lost.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 How disgusted must Kelvin Benjamin be about being here? Leave Cam Newton and a team with a shot for a QB that doesn’t even realize receivers are on the field. I’m sure he’s going to buy in and work hard...The guy will probably get a fake injury and beg to not have his option picked up. 1

His experience will help some young kid out I'm sure. A very expensive mentor. I can't see how his experience helps another player.

Not having players for his scheme was Rex's excuse. I think he was going to fail anyway but if it's just about being patient then they should have been patient with him. Adapting systems to the talent on hand is the prudent path.........it's not like these schemes McD and Dennison run are game changers.........they are pretty simple.......which is why the team was able to adapt to them pretty quickly. But once teams get tapes on the personnel in these new schemes........you need the talent to keep them working and the Bills have been careless with the talent in-house and there appears to be a lot of frustration and business decisions going on out there.........which is worst-case scenario for someone trying to change the quitting culture.
NoSaint Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 47 minutes ago, Buffalo30 said: It's a rebuilding project that will take a few years. We have an old roster and these coaches inherited most of it...I just don't understand the constant turnover mindset and how it would be good for the franchise to not allow this regime to have a couple of years to build something. They haven't had a chance to get their guys on the roster? It's still been less than a year... There’s absolutely no reason this needed to be a multi year rebuild. Fans went hook line and sinker on a narrative about how bad the cap was.... we now also believe that every young talent was a cancer... it’s ridiculous. 2
BADOLBILZ Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 15 minutes ago, Wayne Arnold said: The defense isn't playing in a vacuum. They see the inept offense and the quarterback who checks down on 3rd and 15 to the 300 pound running back surrounded by defenders 10 yards shy of the first down marker. The defense had buried itself before they even had time to see what Tyrod was doing. This was a lot like that flexed game against the Patriots in their 18-1 season where they scored 8 straight TD's to start the game.

Most are so used to hearing they can’t afford talented players, when the truth is that this is a league where you need a few explosive stars to even start to compete consistently.

This is where the parallels to Jauron continue. Despite not technically drafting awfully bad Jauron decimated the roster with bad decisions on players acquired by the previous regime..........whom he used most of his draft picks to replace......causing a lack of progress. And then when Buddy Nix came in he basically had the excuse that the roster was barren. Nix rebuilt the lines......Whaley added some playmakers on offense..........and rather than running with what he had and giving himself a fighting chance.......McD is misguidedly deconstructing it all like he has an unlimited amount of time to rebuild. And he doesn't. Terry Pegula has proven that he will give his regimes the freedom to do what they want......likely in deference to his cluelessness wrt pro sports......... but he has proven that he will hold them accountable. I don't get any sense that they are going to turn into the Ford or Brown families and tolerate failure or mediocrity for much more than a couple seasons at a time. 1

Almost all playoff caliber NFC and AFC teams have highly paid and highly productive/talented players on both sides of the ball. Our most productive star on defense is probably Tre White or Hyde. We don't even have a star pass rusher.

It was 7-3 in the second quarter when Tyrod did his first Edwards impression by checking down to Tubby Tolbert on 3rd and long.

The Bills could have re-signed Woods, picked up Watkins option, and drafted Watson. Sure, they might have had to overpay Woods, and Watkins option would have stressed the salary cap, and who knows if Watson would have suffered the same injury with the Bills, but what you would rather have right now: Deshaun Watson throwing to Watkins and Woods with Shady running against light fronts, or the "process?" The fact that the Bills are again run by a front office who lacks the foresight to identify talent at key positions is frustrating. Edited November 13, 2017 by Perry Turtle 1
