It's worse than I thought

There's a number of holes to be filled on this team and its going to take more than #8 and #40 to fill them. We'll have to use free agency this year.

So my point is that its way too early to start discussing which direction we HAVE to go in the draft with the whole pool available to us. Rest assured, if we get to mid-March though and Dave is busy tossing his feet up on a leather couch and watching 07 Giants highlights while tossing back Dr. Pepper, then I'll frustratingly get involved in the discussion over which position or side of the ball we have to prioritize this year.

If this FO does not address in either free agency or the draft the lack of explosiveness on this offense, expect another season like was just had 

truthfully, outside of Olsen, who does any DC fear, Newton has regressed for many reasons as well and I am not sure any DC has fear of him either  he is a shadow of what he was just two years removed

I hate how the draft is implied as the only way to build.

Norwell and Philly were UDFAs.

Oher was an FA and any criticism of him can be directed to Byron Bell.

Resigned Ginn. Brought in Cotchery + Avant. Brought in Dickson. Brought in some RBs.

If starters are what we are talking last I checked there were only 3 defensive starters drafted by Gettleman unless you include the rookie CBs. If we aren't declaring Williams a starter then imo by no means should Boston nor Ealy be considered starters either.

We didn't get cap space until this past season and a chunk of that was saved to retain core players this coming offseason and next. It's not like we had tons of money to throw around.

This Alamo defense of Gettleman of "who could we have had?" Becomes more preposterous every year.

 

He has been here a long time now. No, I don't remember who was available for free agency four years ago, but I do know teams used it to their advantage.

 

Hey guess what

 

Those "its just a weak class this year" OTs have gone all over the league in recent years and strengthened OLs. In fact as I remember it, two rookies destroyed us in Primetime on a Sunday Night not so long ago.

 

Those "there just aren't any good DBs" all just went to New York and gave them a ride to the postseason.

 

It goes on and on, at every position. Your GM just has to be good enough or willing enough to find them.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
