Front 4 is going to be reshuffled.  Fowler is already gone, Bryan was brought in to replace Campbell but hasn't done anything yet, either Darius or Jackson will be gone next year... possibly both, Church is getting replaced by Harrison, Telvin is shadow of his old self, Jacks is playing decent, we're set at CB/Nickel and FS/SS.

On offense we're a mess.  Robinson when not injured is average at best at LT, Norwell is regressing every game, Linder is decent, AJ is pretty much gone next year, Parnell struggles BIG time against speed rushers and we have yet to see Richardson.  Aside from Linder we could use upgrade at every spot on O-Line and not to mention this unit gets no push at all in the run game.  Bortles will be with team next year, but he's pretty much done.  Fournete is starting to look like a bust, not because of his play but because he can't stay healthy, same issue at LSU.  We don't know what Hyde can do and TJ and Grant will most likely be gone next year.  WR... aside from Westbrook we are garbage.  I hope in coming weeks Charks gets more reps over Cole or Moncrief.  He has the talent but just needs more reps.  Cole is working himself out of lineup and Moncrief just plays lazy.  Lee when healthy is not #1 on any team.  ASJ hasn't shown anything even when healthy and he is injury prone (same thing at Jets) and we have no one behind him.  

These coming 2-3 years are going to be LOOONNNNNGGG...

Relax. The window isn't closed yet. If anything we're fixing to see a high turnover rate at QB for a lot of teams. Brady, Rivers and Roethlisberger can't have that much left in the tank this year. That's three potential play-off spots right there opening up in 2019 / 2020. 

The problem this year is just not enough healthy bodies on offense and because they can't get enough points on the board you're seeing the defense trying to make plays that aren't there and they're giving up in moments that they didn't give up so much last year as a unit. 

They'll have to figure out who they'll have to keep and let go on defense next year. But even with that being the case that just means Dave and Tom and the coaching staff need to bolster it again or add some pieces on offense to get it going. 

But this idea that our window is closed? Not true at all. Outside of Mahomes and Watson. There's not a ton of QB's that scare you on paper going into 2019 / 2020 in the AFC. (Unless those three guys I mentioned above earlier stick it out once again).
