As long as Gabe Davis gets similar targets to the number he got after joe Brady took over play calling the last time he was a bill I would be okay with signing him

Or Samuel

“JAG” to me means capable NFL player, not somebody you’re worried about on the field being a game changing playmaker. That’s motor. A dime a dozen NFL running back. Nothing to be ashamed of, Singletary carved out a nice lucrative career for himself, but he wasn’t giving any DC’s fits trying to gameplan for him. You let me know when you see Joe Burrow run over and through defenders… There is NOBODY like Josh Allen. No homer, it’s just not even close. There’s 17 and there’s everybody else… Bengals also play in a far tougher division. I think if you put Burrow on this team, they are likely still division winners bc Beane has built a strong OL, and the division is still trash, but who knows how he looks without even one WR as capable as Tee Higgins, forget about Jamar Chase. But yeah, I’ll agree the Bills are run better than the dumpster fire of an organization that is the Cincinnati Bengals. As well as the Dolphins, Browns, Jets, Raiders, and probably 2/3 of the league honestly. The “problem” is, the best football player EVER to step on a football field currently plays for our Buffalo Bills, at this point anything less than a Super Bowl is a disappointment. The bar has been raised and nobody seems to get that bc everybody here was so used to losing for so long, they seem content with Josh’s career falling short just bc that’s historically been the Bills M.O…

McD said in his presser today that Forrest is actually progressing in the defense. Likely he'll play in the next preseason game.

Same could have said about Poyer

I bet she told you that once 5 years ago and you're still pissed

Agree 100% on Mack. Gabe is a poor mans Mack, which is a bit wild to think. I used to think it was the other way around.

As a born and raised WNYer and a proud alumnus of Indiana University, I wholeheartedly approve of this. Can't wait to be able to wear a Bison emblemed shirt on Saturdays and a Buffalo emblemed shirt on Sundays. Go Hoosiers! Go Dawgs! Go Bills!

Wilson has his own issues like Mitch though. Namely, holding the ball and escaping backwards to his throwing side. Teams know this - the second he pats the ball the plays over. If the young kids had it between the ears - they wouldn't be available. It's not always coaching. Jones, PIckett, Wilson etc. have put out a TON of bad film and formed a ton of bad habits. Some of the options above are a bit better at other elements of the position, but their arms will let them down.

I think he's still recovering from injury right? Curious if they let him work back on the PS and at that point who knows what we need to do at WR.

🤔 My wife tells me I need to learn to get over *****, too... 🤣

Careful. I can totally picture Rapp jumping in his car after practice and then running over Bishop to get to a jaywalker in a Dolphins jersey.

very true. sometimes things dont work out though.

Justin Simmons is just a call away

And neither left practice with an injury!

Need to bring back this guy (guys?) from the Bills 70's era

One would think that most butts would be fully healed after nearly 5 full years

Totally agree. SOMETHING has to be done. You can't have another season of hiding Damar. The CB2 situation is not good either. With all the concern about the Dline, and rightfully so, the secondary worries me more. The organization obviously knows this. Beane has to earn his $ here and make it happen.

I'm liking you more and more.

I was going to make a political joke about this, but I'm still butt hurt from the last time you dinged me for something like that.

Justin Simmons is 31 years old. He's going into year 10 of his NFL career (8 years in Denver, 1 year in ATL). He played for Atlanta last year. He had 62 tackles, 2 INTs, and 7 Passes defended. From 2019-2023, he either made the pro bowl and/or 2nd team All-Pro (AP) each season. At the start of free agency, he was looking for a two-year deal worth about $10-14 million per year. I'm sure that number has gone down, considering it's August and the season is almost upon us. He played on a one-year deal with Atlanta last year for $8 million. SportTrac currently has his market value at $5,784,805. Would be great to have him, but money and age are a concern. Sounds like his coverage ability has fallen off a bit in the last couple of years (according to some). Yet, he'd probably still be an improvement (even if he's slowing down). If Beane can find the money, I wouldn't be opposed to a 1-year deal. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/free-agency-3-safeties-bills-should-pursue-following-sunday-defensive-meltdown This article suggests two other candidates, besides Simmons: 1. Jordan Poyer and 2. Marcus Maye. I don't think we'd bring Poyer back, there is a reason we moved on when we did. He did still have 98 tackles and three passes defended for the Dolphins last year---but it seems that most Dolphins fans were not thrilled with his play last year (despite the big tackle number). Poyer is 34 years old. Maye is 32 years old and the last time he started a full season was 2020. He played for two teams last year (Miami and then LAC) with 4 starts, 42 tackles, and 2 PD. Not really sure if he is even an upgrade from Hamlin at this point. In 2020, his last full season as a starter, he had 88 tackles, 11 PD, 2 INTs, 2 sacks, 2 FF, 1 FR (but that was 5 years ago). Last year, Damar had 89 tackles, 5 PD, 2 INTs, 1 FR (for reference). Other FA options: Marcus Williams. 28 years old. 5 years in NO, 3 in Baltimore. Good player, but has missed 21 of his last 51 games. Vonn Bell. 30 years old. Played for NO, CIN, and CAR. Again good player. Missed 4 games in 2023, started 11 of 17 games last year. Tashaun Gipson. 35 years old. Played in 9 games for San Fran last year, only starting 1 game. John Johnson III. 29 years old. Played for Rams and Browns. Some good years stat-wise, but last year only played two games (fractured scapula) and only started 8 games in 2023. There is a reason most of these guys are still available: age/injuries/slowing down. There is always a chance of picking up someone after team cuts, but from the few articles I could find on the subject, it does not appear that any higher-end safeties (or better than what we already have) are expecting the chop. But there could be a surprise. But yeah, it doesn't look like there is much help out there, even if we had the money. Simmons is probably the best of the bunch, if we were to bring someone in. But again, he too seems to be slowing down a bit, so even he is a bit of a gamble at this point (at somewhere between the $6-8 million price tag he'd carry). Hoping the light comes on for Cole sooner rather than later. 🤞

I'm bummed Hancock is missing some time, even a short duration

James Lofton YPG and TD/game was better than Reed's too. 8 TDs in only 9 Bills playoff games. Belichick specifically designed a defense to take away Reed. Probably lots of playoff defenses target the #1 WR. Doesn't mean Lofton was better than Reed or Davis was a better WR than Diggs. If anything it means Kelly and Allen were mostly ( Allen >>>> Kelly) willing to take what the defense was giving. 100% agree with this. If Moulds had Kelly or Allen for most of his career he would have been compared with TO. Both with great size and speed. In terms of WR skill, it is Moulds, Diggs, Reed, Lofton, Butler in that order for me. Obviously that is not production but if you asked who are the most skilled WRs to play on Bills. Im leaving TO off as he was only here a short time at end of career.

I think Bills fans throw around the term JAG way too loosely. Are Singletary and Knox home run picks in round 3? No. But they are/were capable starters certainly a nice "single" if we are sticking with the baseball analogy. Has Beane made mistakes like any GM? Yes. But the Bills are a top 5-6 drafting team in the league since 2017 and I don't care how good Josh Allen is if he didn't have a team capably built around him the team wouldn't be an 11 win team consistently. Look at the Bengals, they have a QB that's pretty close and they won 9 games last year as an example. A great QB papers over a lot but they can't paper over it all...
