Beane has time to maneuver, but I'd like to see some things get done sooner rather than later. Lots of good players remaining who we're not hearing about. I mean the Colts haven't signed anyone either so with the most cap space and having a star qb, is there gm losing today to? 2 3 1 1
Rufridr101 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I wonder if juwann James and Frank Gore are close
PetermansRedemption Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Certainly doesn’t seem like cap space matters most. Indianapolis- zero deals, Buffalo - Zero deals, Cleveland - zero deals, Jets - one deal. Top 4 cap space teams, one combined deal. 1

jahnyc Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Was hoping for Humphries and James. Hoping for better with D. Williams.

Psssst, I have some waterfront property in Florida to sell ya! Do please tell me what greatly talented players have been gotten rid of and not replaced? Was it Stephon Gilmore who admitted he didn't want to be in buffalo and has been thoroughly replaced by Tre White? Was it Ronald Darby who didn't fit our scheme and has played in less than half the games since he left due to being injury prone? Was it the criminally overpaid Marcell Dareus who recently took a pay cut to stay on a 5 win team? Was it Sammy "the decoy" Watkins who has been on two teams since we got rid of him and has averaged 39.5 catches on prolific offenses? Was it the two best linemen that we had who both retired for reasons beyond the staffs control? Was it our marginally starting QB who got benched last year and is now a Free agent looking for work from the dolphins who just need someone to hold the candle while they tank? Seriously, I agree that they need to add talent, but the only player that has been let go since McBeane took over whom really was worth anything was Robert Woods. 2 1

Psssst, I have some waterfront property in Florida to sell ya! You are funny. They released themselves from cap hell and removed players they didn't like. Every new regime does that to some extent. Do you think that plan wasn't discussed by the owners/ McD BEFORE he was hired? Don't be silly. It was a tough pill to swallow for the greater good of the team. The owners were well aware of the plan and were either a) ok with it, or b) encouraged by it. Or McD wouldn't have been hired. Keep in mind, on the front that we couldn't replace talented players with at least equal talent, we ended the playoff drought in year 1 of McD's tenure. He's earned my trust moving forward...even if I don't understand some of his moves

Success Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Pats lost some real talent today. They usually do and manage, but it’s not as sustainable as it used to be.

Why would Beane/Mcdermott get a pass? We need to be at least fighting for a playoff spot in December. anything less and that's a massive failure. 1

This regime will survive the duration of its contract. Hopefully beyond. Don't get me wrong, we Definately need to improve. But it took 2 years just to be in position to rebuild successfully. IMO the clock starts now. We shall see. BTW...who are the "every other teams" that had a "massive" improvement in a QB's sophomore year that you speak of? Edited March 11, 2019 by BuffAlone

This past year felt like a lifetime achievement award or something. The Pats did nothing spectacular or even great. Other teams just didn’t step up. They’re getting by on little more than aura at this point.

If we're being honest here, the Colts have far fewer needs than the Bills. It's time to get moving.

We shall see Bull If that's the case we are in year 3 of being in year 1 of the rebuild. The last couple of years teams like Philly / Rams have shown how to rebuild. You find a passable to good rookie QB and you spend freely and aggressively to surround him with the maximum amount of talent. Big targets are popping off left and right, if we strike out this year we are sunk through year 2 of Allen's cheap contract. Time is ticking hard, this bull about a brain trust getting 5 years to slowly turn things around is exactly that, bull. 1
