Diggs' trade is aging like a fine wine
billsfan89 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think a late round pick at RB that can add some speed would make sense but I can't see this team spending another high draft choice at the position. After this year Singletary has two more cost controlled seasons and Moss has 3, literally no need to invest high capital in that position when you have a pair of good young backs. TE is hard, I don't know if they have soured on Knox or not. Kroft is a high end backup, Lee Smith a specialist who isn't that great and Sweeney is a replaceable backup caliber player. I could easily see this team spending a high pick at TE but even high draft choices don't really add "speed" to the offense. So if you look at the WR corp as balanced with a blend of speed and size and the TE position isn't a "burner" position the only place where you can add some speed is a third RB but given how they like to have the third RB be a ST player I think you need to find a speed back that can play ST. Overall I would say that my off-season priority would be to re-sign D.Williams, Ty and Mongo and get an upgrade at TE either high up in the draft or via free agency (Cut the fat on defense and spend most of your cap dollars on the offense.) Then on defense resign Milano to a one year prove it deal and use most of your draft picks on the defense to restock it as best as possible. Hopefully you can make some hits on that side of the ball in the draft to repair the foundation a bit. -
Bills' O-Line depth is remarkable
billsfan89 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ty would start on other teams, Ike and Bates probably could start on a few teams that are banged up but are more so in the high end backup range. At full strength the Bills have two starting caliber oline players on the bench in Ty and Winters and then two high end backups in Ike and Bates. It's very strong depth. -
Toss up game here. Although I think the Bills are slightly better than Arizona but the Cards are a solid team in their own right and they are home so it ventures into being a toss up. Sitting at 7-2 it isn't a must win but the Bills should look to get this harder game going into a bye the team is hurting for.

Diggs' trade is aging like a fine wine
billsfan89 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Trades can be mutually beneficial. Jefferson has been a good WR for the Vikings and is cost controlled for the next 3 to 4 seasons. The Bills got a stud WR who is in his prime and will help maximize the rookie QB contact Josh is on. -
Diggs' trade is aging like a fine wine
billsfan89 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
TE and RB are the only places where I can see them adding more speed. At WR Diggs, Brown and Mac are all fast players. Davis adds size and Beasley is a great slot player and Roberts is there for the return game. TE is a position where it is hard to get speed. A good break away speed RB is probably the only place they can add some speed but I do like what this team has at RB so I don't see the really demanding need there. It would be a nice add for 2021 -

Brown is such a huge part of the offense. Without Brown at 100% things get easier to defend. -

Ike has been solid but Bates from the eye test has played like a backup, that's not crapping on him he is a nice guy to bring off the bench to plug in but I thought he wasn't very good today. Hopefully the injuries to the oline are minor. -
How about Bass? He's settling in...
billsfan89 replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I still get a big shaky when he kicks but he is settling in. Booming kickoffs is a good value added, as long as he can make in the 45 yard and under range at 90% or greater I can live with the growing pains. -
2500 yards, 19 TD's passing, 4 TD's rushing (23 TD's total) with 9 Turnovers (5 INT's and 4 Lost Fumbles) on 67.1% completion percentage. Dude is a stud, top 10 QB in the game currently and has shown top 5 potential. Another opportunity for a shoot out in AZ next week, should be interesting and fun.

Unless this team wins 55-0 there will be no game that makes people completely happy. This team beat one of the top teams in the league convincingly. -
Postgame Thread Bills vs. Seahawks
billsfan89 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills defense is almost designed to slow up Seattle. They have a lot of pass rushers on the D-line particularly on the interior and a solid edge rush with some depth. They also are versatile in how they can pass rush you on the D-line. The thing that slows down the pass rush is running the ball which Seattle couldn't do and couldn't reestablish once they got down 2-3 scores. The Bills are also able to blitz with the LB's and DB's pretty effectively. Poyer is an underrated blitzer and so is Edumonds (And Klein came to play too.) But the Bills also have a good secondary that can bail out the team here and there. So it honestly was just a good matchup esp with Carson out for Seattle and the Bills getting the ball and scoring early. -

I like Knox but he was and still is super raw. I like having Kroft as the reliable veteran. I think easily the team will have to sign a vet TE to buy Knox another year to develop. I wouldn't mind cutting Lee Smith and offering Kroft a similar one year deal and then signing another vet TE. -

IF he stays healthy. The reason he fell in the draft was because of back and neck issues. But when he is on the field he is a dynamic player. -

The Seahawks offense was going to score. The Bills defense came up big no way around it. The first drive was a 3 and out when the Bills went up 7. The second drive was an INT when the Bills were up 14. Seattle cuts the lead to 14 going into the second half with the ball and the defense starts out getting a turnover which puts the game back up 17. The defense does bend a bit in the rest of the third but does hold Seattle to a field goal when the game was only a 10 point game. The defense then follows up the offense putting the team back up 14 with a huge turnover and that was punched in for 7 and was the ball game. It was a big statement and confidence boost for the defense. Despite the score they dominated Seattle who got the benefit of a few soft calls. -

Just a complete win. When the defense faltered a bit and Seattle got within a score Josh got them back up 14 and the defense then forced a turnover to get the team up 3 scores which proved key to nursing a win. 7-2 with a win against one of the top 5 teams in the league, it doesn't get much sweeter than this. One more game to go before the bye, a toss up game hopefully this team can keep its self in the running for the bye however unlikely that may be. -

7-2 with a convincing win. Got up 2-3 scores early and both sides of the ball responded when needed. This was amazing to see. 7-2 with a game left before the bye. -

Passed a golden chance to go up 21, but salvaging a FG attempt there isn't tragic. That gets a three possession lead and more momentum for the defense. -

Should have let the clock run down more so that the FG attempt is the last play.
