The Bills are fantastic and clearly on the right path!!!  There you go. Now you can all calm down.

I can’t believe there is 11 pages about losing Jeremy Kerley.

I think the fans are rightfully melting down.

Because we created dead cap while shedding talent.

 

Frankly are we better with star and dareus dead money, or dareus for another year and signing a player now? That’s 20m in cap hit at DT. 

 

Maybe throw vontaes money and stars money at a good CB and settle for dareus, for instance. 

 

Likewise, should we have just signed a $5m a year wr instead of Coleman/kerley? 

 

Tyrod and McCarron combine for 10m in dead space but we are blessed with peterman as a backup. 

 

Trent Murphy was just a bad signing. 

 

We couldve walked into next year generally every bit as able to make moves freely without inflicting so much pain on this year’s 53

This hurts even more when we could have just re-signed Gaines for Vontae's deal and had a CB who plays 8 games instead of zero.

Since being a die hard fan of the bills (started around 2001) I didn't think I'd ever see a bills team worse than 2010. I know some older folk definitely have, but I'm still in my 30s. Anyway, this team could possibly be worse than that 2010 team

The total rebuild makes zero sense if we are the fifth oldest team in the league.

 

We likely aren't any more after cutting Kerley and Adolphus this week but still.

 

Methinks that getting rid of a bunch of players last year and still making the playoffs gave a false sense of security to McBeane this year, because they git rid of a bunch more and their replacements are not getting the job done.

 

I think the defense will rebound this week, and that Star and Murphy may still prove to be solid players this year. Key word: May. But their offense is a disaster. Hopefully Josh can bail them out. If he can, we have a stud. It doesn't seem likely.

1. our OL can't block

2.  our tight ends are better receivers than our wideouts, can do more blocking than our wideouts

3.  look for 2 and 3 TE sets

Increased use of tight ends will help with both run game and passing game, increase JA's protection, and makes JAG Kerley superfluous

I am waiting to see McDs built defense get lit for another 40 plus

Ok lets for example say Yes The 10M dollar man, Rookie and Kyle cannot split up an additional 12 sanps. 

 

Why a WR over say Lacy, Dimarco or even Holmes (only played 16% last week compared to Kerley 66%)?

Expand  

 

I heard an explanation that possibly Kerley fit more in a Peterman lead offense where Foster and Ray Ray fit better with Allen as vertical threats.  It at least sounded like a reasonable explanation to consider.

its a place holder year.  With 50 million of dead cap, the roster is going to be crap.  But it will be rolled over completely next year with virtually no dead cap and a franchise qB in Josh Allen to build around. 

Expand  

 

At the rate McDermott and Beane are creating holes and piling up dead cap space, there won't be enough FAs available to fill even half of them ... and that will just be on the defense.   Allen will just have to wait ...

To me this says that there's something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.     These decisions aren't made impulsively so clearly there's more tan we know about.

Expand  

 

It all very S-I-M-P-L-E.  McDermott and Beane are clueless when it comes to talent evaluation and personnel management and are throwing excrement at the wall to see what sticks.

Can’t get past how stupid this appears. Cut Adolphus, then cut Kerley to promote a nobody to replace Washington. Starting our highly priced and prize rookie QB, while stripping away his 2nd best veteran WR.

 

UNLESS...

Smart money says that Kerley told McD he wasn't gonna get his head taken off at 30 to win 3 games this year.

I bet there is some of that for sure.
 And or he was truly traumatized playing his first Game with Buffalo Bills and the QBs.
it was that ugly

Even if that could be an explanation. How is Ray Rays knee?  Depth is kinda needed right?  So why cut a WR that played 60 percent plus over one that was 16?  

 

Or why over a FB that played 2 snaps

Or Lacy?

Or Newhouse

or McDermott

 

not to mention why cant your 10M DT assume an extra 4-5 snaps?

Foster maybe. Not Ray Ray. He is more of a shifty, quicker than he is fast guy, that will play the slot and line up in the backfield, and you just want to get the ball in his hands because one cut and he could break one. Not really known as a speed or deep threat guy. I like Ray Ray though. Kerley may also be back in a week or two if no one claims him.

 

Are the Patriots now signing black former Bills receivers now, too, or was Coleman a one off?

yep. but hope they don't have to rush him in mid game. I also see Teller in the future state.

Maybe but my fear is that if he tries to go vertical behind this line he's more likely to wind up horizontal.

Will give Josh Allen bigger and faster targets I suppose.  I think.  I have no idea anymore wtf this front office is thinking.

I agree - I think we are going to see a lot more of Croom as the season goes on.

 

I also believe this move was to roll with Ray-Ray and Foster - two younger guys that Allen has a connection with.  When I was at camp Foster was the only receiver who really stood out to me - I think the angst over his terrible hands is a little overblown - I think he figures it out.  Also I still never got over how tiny Kerley was.

Good post.

 Kerley is the size of a gadget player who doesnt gadget.
