  1. Even with our basically JAG group of wide receivers, we averaged 30.9 ppg. we led the league in turnover margin, but were often not able to get off the field against quality offenses. I would say DE/ 1 Tech, LB [not sure how much Cookie has left]. CB [Douglas fell off sharply], S [Hopefully Bishop will improve, but Hamlin/Rapp are JAG's].
  2. Kuechly played 118 games. For reference Jim Brown played 119 and Dick Butkus played 118. Patrick Willis got in last year - 10 years after he retired. He and Kuechly have almost identical stats.
  3. With the Salary Cap and a top 5 QB who is currently being paid about 1/5 of your cap, you have to staff parts of your roster with cost-controlled draft picks and UDFA. 10 of the 53 at season end were rookies.
  4. As long as RB's like Henry and Barkley are in the league, going to need LB's with some heft.
  5. Yes, especially since Barkley and King Henry showed that RB's are still important to good teams.
  6. Hopefully the back to back concussions won't impact Benford for the long term, He's the more valuable commodity, tho with a shorter shelf life. Bills need to rethink their LB's, ours are too slight when you look at teams like KC and PHL. Also about evaluation and drafting, Philly has the #1 and #6 graded LB's in the league in Baun & Burks, both 3rd round draft choices, Baun in 2020, Burks in 2018. Also wonder if coaching is part of the problem, Eagles and Chiefs both have acclaimed defensive masterminds in Fangio and Spagnuolo, don't think McD and his appointed DC Babich can claim that after this season, other than the stellar turnover performance.
  7. Still thought on the tush push we should have an alternate play - something like Heavy formation right with Brown, Anderson, Hollins [very good run blocker], not having Cook on the field for those, [and there were the 2 4th downs and the 2 PAT's ] was coaching malpractice.
  8. Admittedly Bills were still in the drought, but I am remembering we owned the first round pick used to draft Mahomes?
  9. If you have a QB who is being paid [e.g. not on a rookie contract], You will have to have 8-12 rookies, UDFA's on your roster to stay under the cap. I see Mahomes cap hit next year is like $66MM. That's the new NFL - Probably 12 guys making big bucks, and a bunch at league minimum.
  10. Don't forget LA blocked a punt & returned for a TD against us in a one score game, without that the Chiefs would have had to play their starters in Week 18.
  11. Thought that all along, at least on Third down, Spencer, Anderson, Hollins on the Right side and run Cook away from the defense. KC has Chris Jones, the best DT in all of football, coupled with beefy LB's. These coaches get paid too much money to not see that.
  12. Yeah, I think King Henry and Saquan have changed the narrative on second contract running backs if they are truly elite. I think Cook is, just wish we had more designed passing plays to use his quickness in the open field. I think our O-line is under contract for next season at least.
  13. In my mid 70's I've already been through the drought, 4 Falls of Buffalo, and was AT the Music City Miracle. Running out of time I'm afraid.
  14. Josh Allen had a bit to do with them giving up 29 points, his two throws to Hollins were other worldly. Both of them in the "How in the hell did he do that" category.
  15. Phillips did have a stupid 15 yarder that will cost him $10K or so.
