billsfan714 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I could be wrong but I dont think Star has a tackle as in one, this season.

IMO it didn't have to be. Reminds me a lot of Darcy Regier and Tim Murrays total incompetence and failures as Sabres GMs. Tried to answer this in a different thread, and I'll try again here. Basically there were three main issues with the Whaley era Bills: 1. we were talent collectors, not team builders; 2. We paid the wrong guys and our cap situation was F'd, so there was always going to be a hard ceiling as a pseudo playoff contender; 3. The real leaders of the team (Kyle, EWood, Lorenzo, Shady) were all getting old and on their way out so we needed to find new ones to rebuild around. When McD took over, his first priority was to get value for guys who were in line to get paid or had already been paid but weren't the team leaders you need from your big money guys. So Darius, Sammy, Woods, etc., all got sent packing. Same with guys like Ragland who didn't fit their system. Letting some of those guys go looks tough in hindsight (i.e. Woods) but this was all done in an effort to create enough draft capital and room to go out and get our new captains to establish the culture McD wants in the locker room. Enter Allen and Edmunds. You can rag on the extent of the exodus, or the laughable reliance on Carolina retreads, or using so much draft capital on two guys, or even the guys themselves, but the rebuild needed to happen. If Allen and Edmunds prove to be the leaders McD thinks they are, then it'll be worth it. Edited September 17, 2018 by VW82
Skins Malone Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 The issue i have right now is that none of the offseason additions have done anything. I get that you cant get everyone you want..but the additions have done nothing. I like Josh Allen. Still need to see more. But if u get a QB everything gets easier. The truth is next year this team needs to make a huge leap forward...there will be no more excuses. According to you they have a QB.. they will have 90 million in cap space..and most likely a very high pick. No excuses next year

Kelly the Dog Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 If you're going to throw away a season and get rid of all of the previous regime's guys, and totally rebuild with your kind of players and get rid of all the bad contracts and plan for the future why don't you do that all in year one and not year two?

You also have to wonder if they thought last year they were gonna make the playoffs.....sometimes I do wonder that. If we dont go 9-7 we dont have to give up those 2nd, 3rd picks....and Cordy Glenn to get into the franchise QB position

1billsfan Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Building a dominant NFL franchise takes time. I believe that the foundation is in place with the GM, head coach and the franchise QB "in training" Josh Allen. This is what the very beginning of building a real contending NFL team looks like. It's going to look very awkward a lot. I don't understand the rush to be great right now.

I think that's what John is referring to. I think he's suggesting that going 9-7 may have been as much a surprise to them as everyone else.

If they wanted to get all their guys and blah blah build or whatever shady should have been dealt last year. Wood dealt last year Looney Toons dealt last year Hughes dealt last year. Not kick the pain down the road. They should have tore the bandaid all at once.

So the reality is the Process is really no plan and shooting from the hip and spinning Propaganda? And Buzz Words So if Allen Fails should he get another shot One? Him or Beane? Or both? I've been on record since the day were hired that if they can't get the job done, they need to get the !@#$ out of town. 3 years is more than fair, and I think they bought a little more time than that by breaking the drought. That can all change if things turn into a complete and total disaster, but I'm not close to making that call after only 2 games. The one thing that is crystal clear though is the failures here before them had to get thrown into the trash, of that there can be no doubt.

I agree with other posters that deep breathe's are your friend right now.
