No one expected this team to be good this year with the loss of Glenn, Incognito and Wood. Or the epic failure of Peter Pan. But now we're starting to see disturbing moves that make no sense for the future. There never was a process. Just 2 guys shooting from the hip. God Help Us.... I am not sure i want to define my opinions after getting butthurt (me ) week one against Baltimore. Worst game i have watched in many years. but still , that is not what this team can do overall. do they recover ? Let us hope so.

Really don't care that hes a "leader"..someone else can step into that role. He offers nothing to the offense. And having guys that do well on special teams is awesome...providing you have an offense that can move the Damn ball. We have no one that can catch, slim at CB facing Rivers...yea lets promote a DT and cut a guy that could actually help. Ridiculous. You've likely never played a team sport, if u think finding a true leader is as simple as you stated

We also see trends with these two it is their boys and defense that keep getting the benefit of assets. So the Process smells alot like cronyism to me. And I do look at the move from a football mindset. Albiet an objective one, not one that slops up “The Process” Once again you're missing it. I'll try one more time because you're so mired in your anger and negativity that it's tough to have a football discussion with you. You have no other recourse if someone doesn't wallow in it with you than to name call. It's not about seeing the decision as correct or that you agree. It's about discussing why was it made if you put aside that they're stupid. You don't want to do that, which is fine but there is more to it than that. I'm interested in - what was their rationale? As you suggest, it's hard to know because they don't discuss anything but I think it's at least worth trying to discuss possibilities beyond the surface of what appears to be a bad decision. What would you say, if he gets brought back?

I do think you have to be a little more fair in your assessment though. I'm still glad Sammy is gone. Woods was a mistake and should have been paid here. Goodwin c'mon, it was pretty easy to give up on him for multiple reasons. Glenn's injuries were a major concern (I liked him and wanted to keep him) so it was at least an understandable risk. The hiring and firing of Dennison was bad then good to fire him - there weren't a lot of OC's to choose from. Ducasse is a disaster for sure. Wood and Richie was unfortunate not anything they necessarily did/chose. Tolbert is gone just like Dennison. More important than any decision - They 100% deserve the Peterman starting criticism. Yet they don't swim in it - they moved on. Granted they put themselves in a terrible situation so again deserve much criticism. I'm not sure why you think I have hope in their offensive decisions, I don't. I do believe the hope is in Allen and the massive amount of cap space we have next year and the year after. The team will look entirely different. I don't know they'll make good decisions because they've made as many bad ones as good ones. However that's where we are, a team with a rookie QB and cap space. That's a fair and reasoned response but a lot of excuses for "smart people" making these decisions.

Not saying to cut KB right now, but he has a lot to prove and he is one of the guys being counted on to step up. Both KB and Clay. you said he is being counted on. No question. What do we have behind him ? Not Kerley anymore. Thin at WR skill. so stone hands KB is what we got for now. Throw it high and hope benjamin

That's the issue. What is the plan? Beane's moves don't come with a dot connector. They want to win, but now that Peterman wet the bed again, they will rebuild after all?

Why would you start your rookie QB against a top defense and then cut the only WR that gets open? What if I am? Still doesn't change the fact that we need 4 healthy DTs to rotate and Kerley isn't changing the outcome if we have success passing the football tomorrow... News flash, Josh Allen will still be the one throwing passes to equally as talented receivers

Hopefully hindsight will enlighten us. maybe Bills want Allen to grow synergy with the WR group who are up and coming. Level of comfort and camaraderie and stuff

Not that he is much better. KB size probably helps him. Kerley wasn't very good WR, he was average at best. I don't think this really hurts us, but after last weeks performance everything is doomed. I will wait a few more weeks to see if that is the case. 1 game in, 15 to go. Hard to judge on 1 week, with a lot of new pieces. Maybe they aren't as bad or maybe they're worse.. We should know in a couple months. It's not like we thought we were really winning anything this year.

So you are telling me between Star, Kyle and Harrison they cannot pick up the extra 15 snaps max?

We didn't get into the good and smart decisions. We just debated the bad one's on offense. To be clear, I'm not a homer and I'm not totally defending them. They've made mistakes, they've made good decisions and there's a ton of incomplete grades. I'm nervous but I'm also not ready to say they can't get this done either.

SoTier Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 23 minutes ago, LABILLBACKER said: Get used to it. They're picking Oliver #1 in April. They better spend all 90 million on OL/WR. Reality is that quality OLers seldom hit FA unless they are prohibitively expensive. Most of the OLers available in FA are either at the end of their careers or they suck. The same with top WRs although the situation isn't as dire; there are usually a better selection of mid-level WRs. The Bills could have had two very good WRs in Woods and Goodwin for several more years for less than what 1 WR similar to Woods in talent will cost them in 2019. Another problem the Bills will face next year in FA is that they will have to again pay more than they should to acquire top FAs because of how badly the team is likely to be.

Coverage he stands out to me. Holmes too.

Kelvin Benjamin's size doesn't mean anything because he doesn't utilize it, he might as well be 5'10 190 pounds.
