Round three would have been a nice spot to grab a guard and put him behind Saffold for a year.

The Oline was my area of biggest concern this past offseason and the Bills need an overhaul. Need to replace Saffold and bring in competition for Brown and get some more depth and a developmental players.

Von really been recruiting hard for this team.

If the Texans decide to cut him he would be the hottest free agent in the NFL, having a nice season and a good NFL pedigree. But I think Hughes won’t be cut he didn’t ask to be traded at the deadline. They probably would just put him on IR.

I think the fact that he looked good in pre-season threw off people’s expectations. I would like to see a little more out of him but he is a mid round pick rookie I think he needs some time to develop. Shakir to me looks like he needs to build some strength and add a little more NFL polish to his game.

Davis has played OK, I was expecting more but his stats aren’t tragic while his drops are a concern he has had 5 games with more than 65 yards out of 10 games played. That’s pretty in line with WR2 production esp considering he had an injury that really limited him in two games. It is just that he hasn’t been that WR1A/B that we really wanted him to be.

Mac is really good as a gadget WR4. That’s where he finds his best opportunities.

Should have stuck with Wilson, you have to know what you have 100% before you move on.

The team signed Crowder a vet to help at WR while also adding Shakir a mid round pick. The team made attempts to address the loss of players at the position.

The Bills got a solid win. The team was dealing with a lot with the change of venue and weather where they live. The team overcame a slow start and pulled away late. The Browns aren’t a very good team but the Bills needed to get right mentally and get back into a tie with the Fins for the division.

McD is a great coach, he has built a culture and team that is a contender. I think the week to week reactionaries on this board don’t understand just how good this coach is.

Probably not going to sit Josh it is early in the 4th and the Bills get the ball back. But I think they play much more conservatively switching to a 4 minute clock control offense

Good drive to chew up some time and make it a three possession lead. If the Bills can make a defensive stop here they can then go into a 4 minute offense and try to choke out the game.

Defense came up with two stops to start the half, you need to play complementary football and not let the Vikings hang around

The offense is distributing the ball well thus far this type of offense seems more sustainable thus far.

Good communication to his teammates to not touch the ball and then he scoops in up for a nice 7ish yard return. I love the fact that the Bills have a good punt returner again.

Josh had an ass game today, no way around it, he was able to turn to his legs for some offense but the passing and conventional running game was just bad. This team has to figure some things out offensively

Because no team that has won a Super Bowl ever had a bad game where they lost an away game to a decent team? These reactionary take are so ridiculous

The next game?

I don’t know if they took the Jets lightly or if the Bills just had a flat game. Two turnovers that were completely sloppy just killed this game for the Bills.

Hopefully no major injuries and the team can just move on.

This team came out flat and paid the price for it, away game against a good team and it was close, no need for a whole sale panic but concerning the team has not looked sharp offensively for 6 quarters and the team didn’t look like it could stop the run for the second straight game. These types of games happen onto the next

I think refs had this general notion not to “protect” running QB’s. Pocket passers started to be heavily protected in the 2000’s but QB’s that ran were less protected even when throwing the ball from the pocket. It started with Vick then RGIII and then Cam among others. Even Russell Wilson to a lesser degree got less protected. I think it’s smart for Josh to lobby for himself as much as possible esp in the pocket. It’s absolutely necessary that Josh not take the in pocket hits Cam took. Josh also seems to be sliding more and I don’t see many QB designed runs lately other than QB sneaks which are fairly low risk.

I hate when players bother the refs but in Joshes case I understand it because he or one of his coaches had to have seen how the refs didn’t protect Cam Newton and that massively shortened Cams career.

This is a nice move to add more speed to the offense but what I really like about this move is the special teams component that this brings. One of the few areas of the roster where you could for sure say the Bills were below average in was kick and punt returning. Mac is a pedestrian kick returner and Shakir a below average punt returner. Now the Bills add one of the better punt returners in the league and someone who can represent an upgrade on kickoff returns too. That’s a nice little addition to the team well worth what they gave up. But then you add the offensive ability and it’s a smart addition overall. Not weather shattering but patching up a weak area of the team and adding more to the skill position units.
