Big Blitz Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 31 minutes ago, SCBills said: Who, aside from Allen? Diggs and White. Even then, Diggs is an elite WR but not a game changer.. White is a lockdown corner but doesn’t make a ton of plays like some other corners. Where else are we elite? This FO prioritizes having no holes over getting that extra 1 or 2 elite level guys… Would you rather have Hughes + Addison, or one guy like Hendrickson. I really like Beane’s approach, but will be very disappointed if he continues this stance. Which probably speaks to how elite Allen is and that the coaches get just about everything they can from every roster. And I don't disagree with you I just wouldn't say "elite" is necessary. Like the Browns supposedly were coming in to the season. Even the biggest fans can't name anyone on the Bengals except Burrow Chase Mixon and Higgins. And they have a God awful oline. Things just broke for them this time. They won 2 of their 3 games bc the other QB melted down. Was it the QB or the team D they played? I think it was a bit of both. Stepping back we were Mahomes having the game of his life combined with a mistake on a kickoff and 2 horrific plays on defense from playing today. Josh Allen hasn't played for the best team he'll be on I truly believe this. We can do that as soon as this fall if the front office can figure out where to upgrade: CB RB IOL The Dline you can always look to improve. 1 Quote

They work great for other teams 😄😄 For the record i didn't want to draft Epenesa, thought he was slow off the ball and just a guy , hopefully he get better but not holding my breath. Wish we could get aiden Hutchinson but thats not happening, so hopefully we can find one somewhere. We could have had TJ Watt but we wouldn't have Tre White. Quote

When elite talents are rumored to be available this coming year and you again say you're not interested...you're still an idiot. [Relax, I stole DC Tom's patent.] I agree with what you said. I think a lot of it comes from that many Bills fans still have this mindset that that the Bills have to a blue collar team and Divas don't belong here. Beckham would have been a great addition. For some reason many Bills fans don't want Me First guys. Quote

He literally didn't come here when drafted because of his small minded, big time, superstar, "me-me-me" attitude. Yet somehow the city learned to love him. Edited January 31, 2022 by Jim 1 Quote

I do wonder if a lot of this blue collar mindset from the fans is due to the average age of many Bills fans. I have noticed that a lot of posters here have been fans from well before Jim Kelly. Quote

I guess that dump off to Reggie Gilliam ten yards behind the line of scrimmage is a bunch of your idea of Daboll’s OC acumen ……. Yeah, and then we punted for the second time in that quarter. 🤔 Quote

Not true. Pretty sure I read Goff and Gurley come off books now and they free up 36M between them and a couple others. Restructure Stafford and they can go all in again next year. 2 Quote

Not true at all they are currently 5.5 million over the cap and with bonuses and accelerators would have to clear up like 20 million to break even Quote
bmur66 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I wonder if at some point in "The Process" there is a time to mortgage some of your future to obtain more of the elite talent the OP speaks of? This could be the year to go all in on a Superbowl run. It will be interesting to see what Beane does this off season. Quote
FilthyBeast Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Beane has to go out an get a truly dynamic pass rusher in the offseason. Whether than means giving up just this year's 1st rounder or a combination of something else the time to strike is now. That move combined with a solid draft and other complimentary FA pieces should be more than enough to have this team in the position the want to be next year. 1 Quote
