They need to get more tough on the Oline that’s always held the offense back. Defensively the DT group in 2020 to 2021 was a big issue constantly getting run on. In 2022 they brought in D. jones, Settle and J Phillips to overhaul the position group and in the regular season it worked to make the team better against the run. In the playoffs D Jones not being there and a flat performance from the Dline just led to those issues being there again. I hope they replace Settle with another big run stuffer and beef up the Oline with two new starters and better depth.

Parham was right there. I get that LB was a depth need but the team needed both depth at guard and someone to take over for Saffold long term.

TE is not an issue, Knox is currently a top 10 TE in my opinion and Morris is a decent backup I doubt they spend anything more than a late round pick at the position

I think Sanders and Montgomery would probably cost you more than 6 million and the added benefit of Singletary/Hines combo at 6 million over a single back at around that range would be that you get an added benefit of having Hines as a returner and you don’t have to burn a mid round pick that could be used for depth or development elsewhere.

Ideally I would like to keep Hines as a gadget player and returner but he has to take a pay cut down to the 2.5ish million range. I would also like to bring back Singletary at around 3.5 million range. Between the two I would rather have Singletary back as I think he is a more all around back

It is far too early to tell but base on the QB situation of the other three teams I will say the Bills are likely to be favored to win the division again

I am fairly confident in Tre for the same reason. Even though he was far from what he was he was trending in the right direction as he played more. Hopefully with some games under his belt and an off season worth of rest and treatment he will be back to his old self in 2023

1- Fire Frazier, they need to find a way to come up bigger in the playoffs defensively. 2- Resign Edumonds on a backloaded deal, still fairly young coming off his best season try to keep him. 3- Resign the following players to reasonable deals. Shaq, Martin, Phillips, Singletary and maybe one or two of the ST players. 4- Sign a good vet guard and trade for or sign a good slot WR. 5- Draft a RT and WR in rounds 1 and 2 and draft a center and more Oline depth in round 3-4 spend the rest of the picks on defensive depth see if the new DC can get some late round gems. That gives you two new starters on the Oline and two new WR’s. That should greatly help out the offense and the defense should still be a good unit.

This game requires some nuance to breakdown. Yes teams come out flat even in playoff games and the reason this game was a blowout was because the Bills came out flat. Had the Bills come out sharper it would have been at worst for the Bills more competitive. And this season was a lot for the Bills to take in even before the Hamlin situation. This team is human and they likely got mentally worn out. BUT the Bills still had roster issues that could have exposed this team to a loss at some point in the deeper playoffs. And this season showed that the Bills need to invest more on offense and adjust their defensive scheme esp in the playoffs. There is no reason to overreact but also the team can’t chalk things up to a bad day either.

While Josh was on his rookie contract McBeane over invested in a defense that came up short 3 times during the playoffs. There has to be a shift in the roster building and some at least modest shake up in the coaching staff. I am fine with Dorsey coming back, Year one and he needs more talent. Frazier on the other hand I would like to see gone. I think the defense needs some more aggressive coaching and better talent development.

I think McD is still this teams best coaching option. I do think if the playoff failures mount the team will move on but not after this season. McBeane does have to adapt the roster building. The offense needs to be heavily invested in.

Oline is the issue not RB. Cook is a ready made back heading into 2023 and Singletary/Hines are solid depth options if they are brought back. The team needs two new starters on the Oline plus depth and an heir apparent for Mitch.

Please leave with this reactionary BS

Got to develop the guys currently on the roster.

This team shouldn’t be too reactive and toss out everyone and everything but the game was a sign that there does need to be some significant changes to the roster and schemes. Nothing so dramatic as tearing it all down but something significant has to happen.

Poyer, Edumonds, Martin, Singletary, Shaq, J Phillips and possibly one or two of the ST players are worth resigning. But I think Poyer is too expensive and more likely to breakdown. Edumonds to me is going to be worth a big contract. Still fairly young and coming off his best season he is worth trying to sign to a backloaded contract. The rest are more so role players worth having around at the right cost.

I would easily sign a vet RT to compete with Brown then draft Oline 3 out of the first 4 picks in the draft. That should along with a depth signing or two massively help out the Oline and set it up for the future.

I don’t want to be overly reactive but some adjustments need to be made. Even if the coaching staff comes back the team needs to tilt its resources away from defense and back into the offense. Spend the first four picks of the draft on offense spend some money to add starters to the offensive side of the ball. McD tried to have an all time defensive team with an offense carried by a QB and it didn’t work for various reasons some out of their control others within their control. You need to adapt the team building.

The Jags just didn’t have the firepower and their coaching and execution lacked at certain key parts of the game. It was always a long shot they would beat KC in KC.

Cook is in place and if the Bills don’t bring back Singletary and or Hines they can find a vet backup on the cheap and draft a RB in the mid-rounds for depth. The Bills need help at guard, RT, safety and WR before they venture off into luxury picks

Vikings had one of the worst defenses in the league this season. No shock they are moving in a different direction

Best injury report in a long while, hopefully Hyde comes back and the only player missing is Von

If I were Tampa and Brady isn’t coming back I would just blow the whole thing up. Trade Evans and Godwin for a lot of draft picks and tank 2023. You got a Super Bowl in 2020 and a really good run to defend the title in 2021 but in 2022 Oline issues and age caught up with them. Now they are in a position where without a vet QB they are better off getting what they can for the older players that can still go like Evans and Godwin and build to the 2024 draft where they can go after a young QB.

This is very stupid, the Bucs problem was an Online that lost their guards in the off-season and got massively banged up to the rest of the starters. That’s not something you can control for and no amount of play calling will make up for that. Just looking for someone to blame. Had Jensen not gotten hurt and the rest of the Oline stayed reasonably healthy the Bucs probably would have been a much better offense and won at least 2-3 more games.

Bills played down to their competition and they still won. Onto Cincy
