Absolutely not! I strongly believed going into the season that we had better receiving talent than the loudest voices on this board and that it wasn’t necessary to have a true “#1” wide receiver to make it work. Out of the 10 superbowls that were won between Brady and Mahomes only 1 time was there a true WR. Shakir is fantastic, Kincaid and Cook are really good, Coleman and Samuels are effective and Mack Hollins is a good role player not to mention Knox is a high end TE 2 and the other two RB’s are well above average receiving threats. You combine that with our top 5 O- line and top 2 QB this team is good to go on offense.

Von is 6th in pass pressure win rate in the league. You saw signs of this in the pre season, you could also hear it in his voice and words that he had something to prove to everyone including himself. He’s pretty close to where he was 2 years ago and this version of Von is a huge plus for the Bills and their prospects going forward for this year.

MVS got open for two deep passes and Josh overthrew him. The 2 for 5 is most certainly not MVS’s blame. Didn’t see this. Yep

You also thought paying Spencer Brown was a bad idea. He’s going to get waaaay more than that. More like the range of 3/4 ish type money.

Im guessing he will be signed to a deal somewhere around $22M a year and he’s totally worth it As much as I would like to keep Rasul, he’s most likely a cap casualty. We still have Rousseau, Benford, Bernard and Cook to consider to re-sign.

More stats indicating that Josh Allen is getting lots of help from his pass protection:

Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins

It's early but so far the Bills are winning in the trenches on all fronts, pass protection, run blocking, pass rush rates and run stopping. If this continues this bodes extremely well for a potential deep run in the playoffs.

The Chiefs are vulnerable at both the tackle spots and that is a weakness that can be exploited. The Ravens have a below average offensive line unit. There are opportunities for the Bills to win against these two teams.

So far so good

He violently separated at the very end to get that catch.

For those wondering why Kincaid wasn’t getting targeted.

What are you talking about? Allen has played at an elite level in the playoffs, specially the last two KC losses.

It was inartfully expressed, but he wasn’t saying anything wrong.

The defense in the second half turned in a really good performance. Kudos to Babich to making the right adjustments. 80 total yards 1 turnover that turned into a TD for the Bills Two 3 and outs only 3 points given up by the defense 4th down stop to win the game

Bills offense was highly efficient

The offense played very well

- Arizona has a pretty good offense and Murray is tough to stop - The Bills executed at a very high level on offense and played an A rated game - The offensive play calling on the last drive was too conservative and too many runs on 1st downs, would like to see Brady be a little more aggressive there. - The defense on the first few drives were all out of sorts, blowing coverage, defenders were leaving receivers wide open for easy 1st down conversions. - The defense and Babich made good halftime adjustments and the defense played well in the 2nd half - Nice to see Von make an important 3rd down sack in the 2nd half - Groot is gonna be a problem - Josh Allen begins his MVP run

He’s worth well over $12m a year.

I agree that it is a transition year, but I do not agree that the season is lost. I expect the Bills to be as competitive as they ever have by the time we get into the playoffs. Josh Allen I believe is going to have one of his best years yet, the running backs, offensive line and TE's will be better than most in the NFL and I think the WR room is going to be just fine. The Defensive line is a strength, Linebackers are solid and when Milano returns will be elite, the CB's appear to be on a really good track. For me the biggest question marks will be Safety and Bass.

I think the calculation at least for me is will the combination of a clearly ascending Shakir and Kincaid, along with Samuels, Coleman, Hollins/MVS, Knox will be be better in year two and a training camp under Joe Brady than last year's unit. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me either way if we put better or worse numbers/wins than last year.

I think by the time we get to sometime around the back half of the season it will be pretty close to 50/50
