QB - We are set here although I would like draft a developmental backup basically just because it's probably cheaper. But if Josh wants one of his boys as a backup that's fine RB - I would look to trade Ray Davis if we could get anything of value but he's a fine piece to have for sure. I like the room WR - Need just so much help here. We have to get a true #1. Almost at all costs. In an ideal world I think you'd add another WR too but likely won't be possible TE - Knox either has to go or needs to take a huge paycut. In addition with Kincaid's inability to stay healthy, I may look at this position in the draft again OL - Very interesting spot with multiple free agents and Torrence a FA the year after this and Dawkins on the decline and not sure he's mentally into it. This is the one position I am confident can be coached up though with Kromer DL - I mean I don't know. It better be good considering the resources put into it but probably need a big splash here too LB - All 5 LB's on the current roster could be replaced/upgraded in my opinion. They won't be but man it's not good. What happened to McD being able to coach up and develop LB's? CB - Fine here especially if Hairston can be the #1 guy. Benford as a #2 would be very good. Do need a NCB probably S - Need someone to go with Bishop. Either Hancock here or Hancock at NCB There are holes. Lots of them. But with Josh Allen you have a chance so it's doable.

Not only how other teams struggle (I would add the Chiefs through 3 quarters), but also how good some of these "bad" teams can be. I saw much on hear about there was no way we were going to lose to lowly Houston particularly with Davis Mills. Well, the Texans are 6-2 over their last 8 and the offense has been playing better with Mills. Yes...the Bills looked bad...but the Texans are not an awful team.

The Bills are still one of the betting favorites to win the AFC. No Matter is correct, all these supposed glaring problems existed in September (in April going back to "inept" Beane's appearance on WGR) -- if it was so obvious that the situation was so effed up then the expectations of glory were unwarranted. You can't have it both ways. Either the expectations were unrealistic or it's not over.

I think Hancock eventually replaces Cam Lewis -- if that's next year, or we keep Cam around if cutting Taron as insurance. They think highly enough of him to put Hancock in there on high-leverage passing situations, I think he eventually can play that "dime" role/jack of all trades that Cam does, but at a higher level.

Oh totally, I wasn't suggesting you were. The fact we are rolling out Tre White and Jordan Poyer is a serious serious problem. Yeah, it does take adjustment to the NFL. I'm still VERY hopeful for Sanders. As a SC fan, I watched a lot of him and he was very solid in college. Injury sucks, of course but yeah, 3ish years is a good amount of time to judge on the whole, for sure.

I'll pass along a travel tip for clothing that I discovered a few years ago and has worked out well. If you are traveling between a cold and hot climate (like departing Buffalo in the winter to the Caribbean) pick up a pair of casual/outdoor/athletic khakis that zip the pant legs off and become shorts. It works out great trying to shield yourself from the brutal windchills in the morning but then get off where it's 90s a humid. Especially if going to a place like Punta Cana where you deplane right on the tarmac and into a shuttle bus.

It takes 2-3 years to assess a draft class …so I’ll reserve judgement for now… he had an extra 2nd and a couple extra 4th snd 5th rounders to work with

I'm really interested to see Hancock and how he develops. He played so many positions in college he never really stuck anywhere. I hope that with NFL coaching and stuck to one position, he can be a solid solid player for us. I really like the kind of player he is: versatile, hybrid, not slow, not bad at tackling,

The mesh routes drive me nuts but I will never in my life forget the fumbled end-around to....DAWSON KNOX

100% Most Bills fans are in a silo only watching Bills games without realizing how much other teams struggle. Love that you point out the Eagles, who along with losing yesterday won a 10-7 barn burner against the Packers recently. And how about the way the Ravens played yesterday? Did anyone watch that offense against the lowly Jets? Yikes!

I'm not faulting the draft. I'm saying we spent almost an entire draft on one side of the ball and we still need an overhaul at more than half the positions on that side. That's years of bad roster building and drafting. Especially when this upcoming draft and FA period must focus on a #1 WR and potentially offensive line help

I am willing to gut the defense and use majority of the money on the offense.

Can't wait to see if our pass rush can get to old man Rodgers

Well, 3 looks like potential starters next year with 2 of them being studs (other being Hancock). Walker, IMO will be a star and Hairston has been pretty solid even missing most of TC and having a few weeks of playing. Hitting on 3 picks in a draft is pretty darn good. Sanders is still a who knows and Landon Jackson was an absolute miss and I hated that draft pick with every ounce of my being. On the O side, Hawes has been excellent. So, all in all hitting on 5-6 is really a good draft. This draft (outside of the obvious miss on Jackson) seems solid

I will personally buy Brandon Beane a new cell phone that can store more than 12 contacts in it

I don't want Beane making these decisions again!

Eagles trade for Jaelen Phillips, Steelers pick up George Pickens, Dallas acquires Quinnen Williams. All of them instantly contribute. The Bills? Tre White, Jordan Poyer, Dane Jackson, Jordan Phillips, and now maybe Shaq Lawson. It's just so discouraging.

I've been considering it. I do have benefits. I know it's okay to feel and process this and my hope is that volunteering will help fill my spare time and help me heal.

I was meaning Taron Johnson and not Ty Johnson in my original post but it looks like I need to look at dead caps for all players.

Or as Rick Pitino said, “Larry Bird’s not walking through that door, fans.”

Beane needs to stop talking and stop leaking things for a long time. Never seen a guy inflict so much burden on himself. And now it's also going to be unfair burden on whatever WR he ends up bringing in

$55m a year probably helps a bit

Roll your eyes forever. Know the situation, and how it is handled, every day all the time. Otherwise, nobody with any intellect cares, but keep rolling.

Yeah that has to be tough coming back home to a quiet house. At least getting out and going to work can keep your mind off it and busy. I have been work from home for many years and my dogs were my administrative assistants. They sat next to me in my office all day every day, so it was hard sitting home alone all day without him. The other dog didn't want to sit in the office afterwards, he would just pace through the house looking for him. I know you said money is tight, but it might help if you could talk to a professional. It can really help, especially if you can't talk about it with your family. We were really struggling with losing the dog and a few other stressful live events that all came together around the same time so we did a one time session with a counselor. It helped us quite a bit.
