the Front Office had nothing to work with cap wise after the prior regimes terrible decisions.   I expect us to be much better next year with a ton of cap space (WR, OL, secondary---we did a good job getting Hyde and Poyer!).   Plus 10 picks.  Edmunds will be a stud, Allen hopefully has more than 0.5 seconds to throw, and will have someone who can catch the ball on the receiving end.  

 

I think realistically we need to wait another 1-3 years to see how this FO is doing.   Not great for the impatient.  I've been here longer than the entire drout.  But I have a feeling this FO will get it done.  

 

Its a cop out to pretend this regime has no hand in the cap situation. 

 

How much cap did we commit to benjamin, Coleman and kerley (ignoring picks) for instance

 

or could the dareus/Starr situation be handled differently? 

 

How they managed glenn or Tyrod/McCarron  is in part on them too. You can’t just throw your hands up and give them a 3-5 year free pass

When you can’t run the ball or throw the ball to open the run you lose. To me the biggest momentum swing was Allen’s pick which he will learn from. Take a sack or audible to a run and let the clock run out and call a TO to go into halftime down 3-13 instead of 0-16. That’s a 6 point swing that better QB understanding or coaching resolves and makes it a tighter game. 

 

Or just throw it out of bounds like anyone with half a brain would. That play was horrendously stupid.

I wish people would just uhhhhh understand a team this young is going to be less than stellar for AT LEAST this year. All the process crap aside. We need to let the youngsters mature!

 

Relax

 

For 20 years and counting

I'm on board with that but only if we take a QB with the first overall pick.

 

I like the guy out in Eugene, Oregon.

 

 

I said the same thing earlier, lets take another QB!

Agree with this. I am not worried about the ugly season I am more concerned by the lack of convincing personnel moves.

Relax

Team is not that young. The QB is young. The rest of the team is above average in age, collectively .

Dont make me kill myself. But I think we have to suck with youngsters to see a benefit later. I bu honestly question the notion that giving carte blanche to McDermott was the smartest thing to do. I am in the MAJOR minority that thinks that making the playoffs last year set us back. He bought himself time AND people are actually deeply in debted to him for breaking the slump. We need to shift from gratitude to demanding more.

Correct, but the key positions of QB, MLB, CB and LT (maybe even DT w Harry) are very young and that the core we’re building around.

 

Another draft and FA with actual money and this team will look very different next year at this time, IMO...

Asked this in the gameday thread, but I'll ask it again here for those who are completely outraged by the outcome this month...

 

Q: How many of you predicted 0-4 to start the season?

 

Corollary Q: If you predicted 0-4, why are you outraged at 1-3?

 

no, i didn't bet 5k on the Packers -10. should i have?

That's the real truth. I was basically referencing a nucleus. When I speak I mean Allen Edmund's Johnson, Jones... even Lewis. The real nucleus is young my brother

Ask @BuffaloRush

[Kelly the Dog]

Joe, do you believe this is the best, wisest WR corps you can field to help your rookie QB? Seriously?

This is a misconception, the team is "old" by something like .25 years

No I don't. And I don't think it's their final answer at WR, either. If you do, then you're blinded by idiot-rage.

 

I also understand there wasn't going to be significant effort put into the offense this year. You can disagree with that approach all you like, but it's their plan and I'm willing to give them 3 more years to have it all together.

Getting beat and looking like you don’t have a clue on offense are a completely differently thing.  This offense has shown no signs of hope for 3 out of 4 games 

it's okay. we will probably have 2 more quarters of suckitude next week before we play lights out for the following 6 quarters of football. we will still be 2-6 though, if that is any consolation.
