PatsFanNH Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Billsfan1972 said: A different take, but yes much of the same when it comes to me and watching the Bills. The league is built on offense. The main reason ratings are up and the league is so successful is that the game is fun to watch, because there is OFFENSE. People play fantasy football and betting sites like Fanduel is to see stats and players score points. The best pick every week for a Defense is whoever is playing the Bills. Yes we have our Old School guard who are all about the Defense and lament what's become of the ground & pound game and those who will tell you that a 9-6 Buffalo win is all that matters and you're welcome to comment all you want. So the question is if McDermott did not dismantle the Offence and actually had the know how and hired a competent OC and this team was at least scoring points and games were competitive and still a 2-5 team, how would the threads look? IMO only way threads here would change is if they were WINNING.. they just switch to complaining about whatever cost the Bills the game.. BUT if they are winning 45-42 and are say 4-3 I see fans being more optimistic.. but winning breeds better threads... for any fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamkrgr Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We had no money to spend last offseason. Bradford wasn't affordable. Fitzgerald or Bridgewater may not have wanted to sign here with the current state of the o-line/wr's. This upcoming offseason is going to be pretty telling. Will they be able to recruit talent to come here? Will they use the cap money efficiently to fill the majority of the roster holes? How will the draft go? This offseason is going to be the one that Beane and McDermott will be judged on going forward. Miss on this offseason, Allen doesn't progress next season and they are both likely looking for new work in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 win or lose .. Make it look competitive at least. We'd also see 10000 word essays posts on the merits of Josh Allen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will sign on the offense unless wildly overpaying based on the way this team runs that side of the offense. It is a pipe dream. The only chance is Allen returns and plays like Rodgers......

I was dancing all over titans rugs screaming go bills "shout theme song" That was the best bills game i've seen in maybe 15 years. You catch a game, what, once every 3, 4 years?

The offense is unwatchable, the staff & FO have not taken ownership and they put an inferior product on the field, all the while telling fan to trust the process and many here tell those who question to "give them the off season, 2019 & 2020 & beyond to get it right". Here is Ryan Fitzpatrick's salary that is unaffordable...... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/ryan-fitzpatrick-1336/ But we have Nathan Peterman....

Bing Bong Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, ScottLaw said: It got worse once McDermott got here. The Bills 2016 offense was a very solid unit. It certainly had its limitations, but it was still a pretty good unit. Top 7 offense in points scored that year. 2017 it was a pretty bad unit. This year it is historically bad. It's hard to watch. The 2017 offense really wasn't much bettere than now. I was calling the lack of WRs made Tyrod's already limited skillset impossible in 2016, and the general consensus was he's so bad he can't make his recievers better. Now our general consensus is the WRs are so bad they can't make the QB better. I wonder what changed ? haha Edited October 29, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say that even wins aren't very exciting (certainly not offensively). I’m great. I’m on this website because it’s the best place to get bills updates. Don’t get the shock and surprise. This team is rebuilding. A Rookie runs the d. A rookie was running the o until injury. Now it’s a retired never was. the o line fell apart in the off season the cap was too jacked up to fix the problems. The only thing really bothering me is keeping Peterman around.
