TigerJ Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Free agency has clinched it. Buffalo is ready to win now. Beane may have claimed he was going to be judicious, and in many ways he has with some of his signings, but just the sheer number of decent quality guys says the Bills are going after the playoffs in the 2019 season and maybe the AFC East crown. It should be a fun season guys and gals. 7 1 1

Andy1 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Can’t wait to see who they pick in the draft. This team is getting a huge make-over. Hopefully McD can bring them together to play as one team. It may take a bit of time for the chemistry of the various units to gel.
billspro Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I’m definitely expecting a very competitive team next year. Now excuses, this is a quality roster now. 1

DallasMac Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I'm still a little underwhelmed by our receivers but I have been happy overall with what they have done. And I know there weren't a lot of receivers to choose from. Can't wait for the draft.

Expand I’m 50/50 on him myself. I like a lot about him but he also drives me insane sometimes with his conservative mindset. He has finally got a bit of talent around him so let’s see what he does in year 3. 3

Expand McD started Peterman and played for a tie in OT. He shipped guys out instead of coaching them. He doesn’t get a pass on anything. He needs to show he can coach this year and do it without Kyle around. 2

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Whether the moves have moved Buffalo into the Top 6 of AFC remains to be seen. Frankly I still have them 9th or 10th in AFC. But that’s not the point. these moves are a big breath of fresh air in that they are removing of reason for excuses and putting great expectation on their backs for 2019. The number 1 thing I was looking for was to go into 2019 without having to hear: well allen can’t be judge because he doesn’t have so and so. mccoy can’t be judged because they don’t have so and so. mcdermott can’t be judge because they don’t have so and so. no more they can’t be judged because they are lacking something. There is enough here now to win. It should be expected and that’s refreshing because it just cuts to the chase quicker if they don’t. 1
ngbills Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Reality check. We were a awful team last year. We signed some average to above average guys. We will get a c+/b rating on free agency. But we are still a ways away. Good thing is anything can happen in this Nfl.

He's has a pathetic 10-15 record since a quick 5-2 start in his first season............included in there numerous massive blowout losses...........including the Peterman catastrophe's........and he's somehow managed the near impossible by raising the bar for a Bills coach being uncompetitive against Bill Belichick. He and Beane have shown an ability to self-evaluate wrt personnel and then make changes so hopefully there are no more Peterman's in his future and he figures out how to stop reflexively bending over at mere the sight of BB and the Pats. 3
wppete Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The draft is really important l. We have to hit on the draft picks.

Expand Not really, you have to average 89% of your cap space over 3 consecutive seasons. So this is 2019 we have to be at or over 89% for 2017 2018 2019. Since we were pretty much completely topped off of cap in 2017 and 2018 we really could have held onto 40 million or so and still easily cleared the mandatory cap spending
thunderingsquid Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 All of the moves the last two days (not to mention Duke Williams too) have been to help Josh. Beane is doing this the right way. This OL is so much better and the WR corps has more potential now. 1
NickelCity Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I feel good about raising the median talent level of the team. We're going to have better depth and more competent starters than we've had in some time. However, I think we'll need to see a real playmaker join us, either through FA or the draft. I suppose one of the young guys could emerge as a difference maker as well. 1
