  1. One of the Key features of the designed Bills Offense is the threat of our QB as a runner.

    Should disaster strike and Taylor is unable to play, this key offensive threat is eliminated.

    That being said there are two available backup QB's, Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin.

    Both are experienced and capable of performing well in this style of Offense. From a talent

    and experience point of view, both have better credibility than any of the current backup

    QB's on the roster. However, both players bring some limelight baggage. Would it be worth it

    to bring in one of these Vets for the sake of continuity of the offense, or is the limelight baggage

    too much for this coaching staff to handle.

     

  2. I'm hoping, but not confident, that a healthy Jonathan Williams can provide excellent depth at RB this season. With that being said, would it not be prudent for the Bills to be actively pursuing a trade for a quality backup RB. Many teams are loaded if not overloaded at RB. Some of those teams have RB's like Chris Ivory, Alfred Morris, C J Prosise, Jermy Hill, and C J Spiller in a long queue.

  3.  

    As Kirby has explained several times, the Bills can't increase revenues, like ticket prices, in any significant way in the current stadium.

    I don't know Kirby, nor have I had the opportunity to hear his arguments. But to say the Bills can't raise ticket prices in the current stadium seems short sighted.

  4. Whats wrong with the current stadium? I don't think there's a bad seat in the entire stadium.

    Certainly New Era Stadium doesn't have the high end amenities that attract corporate clients.

    But the Bills don't have so many corporate clients that they need a new stadium. If generating

    more revenues is the issue, just raise ticket prices to meet the needs of the owner and the NFL.

    SORRY TO PREDICT 6 wins and 10 losses.

  6. For the Bills Offense to be successfull in 2017 it needs to run the ball effectively. So effectively that teams preparing to play the Bills should be focusing their defensive strategy on stopping their run game, almost exclusively.Bill Belichick is well aware of this and is attempting to deal the Bills running game an off season blow. I would argue that the a back up running back for the Bills is more important to this type of offenses success than most other teams in the league. Paying a premium for a top back up, someone who could compentently start, should be part of the Bills 2017 strategy.

  7. Surprised that not one member of the illustrious Buffalo Sports media has sought out Cardale Jones this off season.

    I would think that many Bills Fans have an interest as to what work, if any, Cardale Jones has done to improve his QB skills.

    Perhaps I've just missed a report.

    I'm sure they're giving this a lot of thought but we have no idea what the plan is. Maybe a trade?

     

    I think the approach ought to be: assemble a good roster before the draft and not rely on the draft to deliver this year's starters. And then whatever you get from the draft is gravy.

     

    Right now, we sorely need another WR and a RT. And I can't say I have a lot of faith in our current secondary. So I'm wondering, how many starters can we get out of the draft?

    Agree. Thus far this offseason it appears our secondary and WR corp has deteriorated from last years team.

  9. The concern about Wide Receiver is way overblown.

     

    1. It's clear this team is still primarily a Ground & Pound/Run-First offense

    2. Tyrod seems to have trouble going through multiple reads on a single play

    3. We already struggle to get Sammy Watkins and Charles Clay involved with enough targets

    4. The free agent crop of WRs was not strong this year

    5. We still have the NFL draft coming up

     

    In the era of free agency, it is very difficult for an NFL team to be strong at every position. So it is important to prioritize, based on your key players and coaching staff.

    To invest lots of resources at WR would be stupid and wasteful. Were the Bills supposed to break the bank for Alshon Jeffery or Desean Jackson, just so they can get 2-3 targets a game?

     

    The people complaining about Doug Whaley not flushing money away on big names - are the exact same people that would crucify him for getting us into salary cap trouble on guys that aren't producing enough. (For example... Charles Clay).

    It would have been interesting to see Hunter play with Tyrod after a full training camp. Hunter was certainly within our cap space.

  10. I don't understand what the plan at receiver is. Tyrod said part of the reason he took a pay cut was to get better receivers on the team. But as of right now we have worse, yes WORSE, receivers than last year. Is the plan to evaluate Tyrod for a year or not? Sounds like they're just saying F it, we'll run our backs into the ground and pray Sammy stays healthy.

     

    This has been a bad weak spot for Whaley, along with RT.

    Agree!!! Other than for the sighning of Tyrod Taylor, it appears our roster has deteriorated thus far this offseason

  11. Perhaps the Bills Brass has all along thought Tyrod Taylor to be the best OB in the NFL. Last year he lead the Offense to a top ten scoring performance with an injury riddled WR corp. So far this off season they have choosen to challenge Taylor for next season by restocking the WR corp with castoffs. Good Luck Tyrod.
