This is ridiculous. Expand That's fine...but the problem is there's nothing on the field that shows any kind of direction either.

Expand I understand the frustration, but I don't get why people are talking like this is the regime's last chance. This is their first year under Beane. It's not like they're in year 3 of the rebuild.

Expand No, but I can guess at what they’re doing. It’s a total rebuild - which they will never tell the media. Fans here aren’t used to that kind of rebuild. We’re used to regimes that try to take half measures in the spirit of staying minimally competitive.

When Rick Dennison was already fired, when Brian Daboll has the offense at 10 ppg. In a division that the Patriots are ruling again. You're coming to them with poop and selling it as filet mignon. Here, look into McDermott's eyes and get excited about studying tape and working really hard......get excited about 3rd and manageable and field position!!!! Expand We got into this situation by over paying free agents. To get anyone to come here we'll have to do the same thing all over again.
TuelTime Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Head coaching is easy. That's all I have to say about that.

It might work but McDermott has a much more extensive resume and I think we need to give the rebuild time. Expand He was Pettine’s OC in Cleveland.

Expand No I can’t imagine that because it’s not going to happen. I don’t even think there that many quality starters in the entire FA class, much less ones that will want to sign here.

Expand I assume other teams than just the Bills are rebuilding. Hard to imagine anyone else having as few players on the roster who were draft 3 or more years ago. What we're doing seems to be uncommon......

Expand I also want to see Josh Allen's development. He's the one big decision I've had a problem with. I think they drafted the wrong guy. If that's the case, it really puts them in a hole. But, we just won't know until after next season.
