But ultimately you revert back to the Tone-Policeman. McDermott is now 14-17 as Head Coach, with zero wins against New England. Allen has poor stats across the board, except rushing. When I watch Allen, he is playing exactly like his Scouting Reports. Erratic, sometimes brilliant, but its jumbled. I think Beane and McDermott get the chance to execute their plan in 2019, but real winning needs to start. No more moral victories, staying close, watching plays learn. We need influx at Offensive Line, Tight End, a new running back (s) - someone who can run faster than 4.50, a couple new WRs, then depth across the entire defense. We could really use a dynamic DE (Murphy will never be the same after his knee), more playmakers like Milano at Linebacker, and another lengthy corner because we are playing street free agents now.

Idiot second agree next year is a prove it year no excuses but the premise that a full rebuild should only take one year is beyond idiotic Next year we should start seeing results. McDermott and Beane have purged the roster, have their QB, have the money and draft picks, we have Coaching continuity, we have a veteran backup. We need to be scoring over 20 ppg next season and should be pushing for 10 wins. Also, none of the teams in our division are trending up. The Jets will have a new Coaching staff, the Dolphins are stuck in the Tannehill conundrum, and Tom Brady turns 42 next season.

row_33 Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 It’s a surfboard of optimism we ride subject to getting knocked ass over teakettle in an instant which is a very good thing after the last 20 years 1
Mrbojanglezs Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Coaches get a 3 year minimum from me. Next year is the evaluation year for McDermott, he doesn't get a freebie from me next year. I need at least 8 wins and big signs of growth for him to be here for a 4th.

Can't get worse than Tyrod.. my favorite slogan going into this year. I saw Peterman. I saw us name him the starter. We were about to find out right quick how much worse it can get. Heck we already saw it Chargers game. Can't get worse than Tyrod is the dumbest thing that was said as much as it was I've ever seen around here. It's been far worse before and after. Can't get worse than Peterman ? Maaaaybe I'll buy that. Until McDermott finds another poor kid he has undying faith in to throw into the fire countless times for no reason.

Trogdor Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 6 hours ago, pop gun said: This, and for those to think the Bills will get home runs on every FA and Draft pick next year is completely comical but some fans think that will happen without a doubt. I think the Star pickup is telling. Their pro-scouting so far has been lacking. Good O linemen also don't become available often. The fact that people think that's how they will rebuild the line is laughable. The Glenn trade looks worse each week. 1

He's been in charge of one draft. While the Bills have been rebuilding for decades, the current GM and HC have only a short time in their positions. Here's what Beane's accomplished so far in his short time with us. #2 defense in the NFL. #3 most cap space in 2019 #1 most cap space in 2020 10 draft picks in 2019 This year we had the lowest active roster spending in the NFL. Beane had exceptionally little money to spend on free agency by - as much as possible - taking hits this year to free up cap space for the future. So this season McD had a talent-poor roster to work with and never had a fighting chance. This year was all about making 2019 and 2020 good years. Let's see what Beane and McD do next year before judging them on a plan that was never designed to produce a lot of wins in 2018. $100 million in cap space and 10 picks in the draft can fill a lot of the holes you mention. And no team is entirely without holes. Having the most or second most cap space is not an accomplishment. Using that cap space and signing quality players that help build a consistent winner is. Any moron GM can create cap space by cutting a bunch of players. That’s the easy part. Also, there are several other teams with plenty of cap space as well. I wouldn’t count on it being our saving grace. Edited December 25, 2018 by Bangarang 4

There was tremendous pressure to get to the playoffs. Also Beane and scouts were not in place for the draft and barely for FA. They could not have had a rebuild plan ready with owner buy-in much before Sep. Last year was NOT the first year of the rebuild. 29 minutes ago, Augie said: MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!!! ?
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 We will see how good of a GM Beanie is after this year. A bad draft and FA and we are looking at the start of another 20 year playoff blunder.

Step 1 has been accomplished now they have to do the more difficult part, choosing the players. Here is a novel idea, how about you wait to Bich and moan until after they made their choices.

It's all this player sucks, we whiffed on this person or that person, we should have done this, we should have done that, this coach, that coach, the GM sucks, fire someone, fire everyone, it makes this board hard to read anymore. We lost 2 good OL'man and traded away another for whatever reasons they had. We have a rookie QB without much help, but has still basically been the entire offense this year. We have a rag-tag group of WR's who have not done much to help said rookie QB. No running game. A defense that isn't having the same good fortune as last year. You can post your QB ratings and think it proves something, blame coaching, who we signed, who we didn't sign, blame the GM, whatever. We have a young team at many key positions right now, a FA period with $90,000,000 to spend, and 10 draft picks coming up in 2019. If this was the end of next year I would understand, but it's not. I hope Santa brings you guys some Preparation H and a 3 pack of Puffs with lotion for Christmas. The "rebuild" started the moment the Bills decided to trade the pick that they could have used to pick Mahomes . . . and not bring back (or even attempt to bring back) actual NFL receivers such as Woods, Goodwin, and Sammy. By "rebuild" I mean creating the McCoach and McBeane vision of the team. They made certain choices. We shall see how they pan out. Edited December 25, 2018 by Peter 1
