But 4 games is a bit soon to declare that a reality. But that is the odd poster... and a Spurs fan at that... so one with proven poor judgment This isn't just about Allen, it's about the collection of players this regime has brought in through the draft and free agency. They're simply not good enough.
RevWarRifleman Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 We all knew there were holes that needed to be filled from the start. I still have them at 7 wins. But see me at mid-season about the 7 w's.

Granted when we play them without Brady, we generally do well, but we've never played them twice in a year without Brady! If im Pegula, im throwing some ridiculous $$ at BB, with all personell control. absolutely......pegula should give him 1000 acres of pennsylvania natural gas

I noticed this as well. At first I was wondering who that #90 was at Defensive Tackle. Then I remembered it was Shaq LOL. All in all I think the D did it's job. Hold the greatest QB since Joe Montana to 22 points and get 2 turn overs. A functioning offense would be thrilled to get this. 1

This year is going to be about mediocrity with highs and mostly lows. If we do not go fully 75% Offense in draft and FA next year I will start to question Beane. Benjamin is just bad. DiMarco takes up a roster spot. Logan Thomas can't even stay active on game days. Shady and Clay will be gone due to age and contracts. It is too early to turn this into a 2019 draft thread but personally now that we are 1-3 I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy with the offense. When we couldn't get a 3 and 1 on the opening series in GB I felt that was all I needed to now about us winning the battle up front. So counter with a passing game? Not with a rookie QB, a line that can't get push for 3rd & 1 and a #1 WR wannabe/questionable TE.* Daboll gets a pass this year due to talent and lack of focus on upgrading offense in 2018. So my solution is to sit back and ride out this year. Unfortunately at this juncture I don't think I will enjoy it as much as last year. (*as an aside I wish our TEs would look like what I am seeing in Jax, Pitt, Balt et al. Their TEs are just punishing defenders) Edited October 2, 2018 by Uncle Joe
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 This year is all about watching Allen. I am not as much focused on wins and losses this year. I want to see Allen progress. Build through draft and some smart FA pickups. Be ready to really compete in 2020 for a SB 3

Tre White and Matt Milano have been two of the best players on the team so far this season and they are both draft picks of this regime. Poyer and Hyde were also pick ups of this regime. I agree that the FA class this year is less than stellar but I am not sure when I look at the overall record so far I am ready to clean house. I think this regime deserves the chance having done its tear down to do the rebuild with 10 picks and plenty of cap space ahead of them.

The Process Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I yearn for the days when we had coordinators worthy of being head coaches....or were head coaches. We had a few that are head coaches now. Marchibroda comes to mind. 1

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I agree with getting Teller on the Oline supposedly a road grader coming out of college and can't be worse than Miller. Rishard Matthews has to be an upgrade from what we have. Any other WR's that can bring something to the table are worth a look. We have to get the running game going or else we are dead ducks. We have to give the QB an outlet either rbs, wrs or tes every play or especially on long pass plays because he is being pressured constantly and has no time. Too many times i saw last week on 3rd and short we are running deep routes with no outlets and taking a sack it's just bad playcalling.
Dr. K Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 There is no solution that can happen this season for the holes in the roster, which is the essential problem. At a minimum I would play the young players and see whether they have any ability to compete at the NFL level. I might ship out the one or two decent older players in order to get some draft choices. The only way this team wins any games this season is if the young players they have on the roster begin to play better.
corta765 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Fire Allen, Fire McD, Fire Beane, Fire Benjamin, Fire Peterman, Fireball, Fire New Era Field, Fire Billy The Buffalo, Fire The Marching Band, Fire Chris Brown, Fire The Goal Posts, FIRE EVERYTHING.... and then reclone Jim Kelly

He was extremely good at finding guys like that. 2
