I agree that safety and OL are also areas of need as is ILB with Edmunds likely leaving as FA. Still, WR is so critical to this offense, I think it warrants a big investment.

McKenzie is a fringe role player, not a starting WR.

Davis has to get his foot in bounds there. I think WR in round 1 is likely this coming draft.

Come on, score a TD to put this away.

So many injuries there…

Defense is terrible

I just don’t see a Super Bowl contender when I look at this team. I’m not even sure that I see a playoff team.

Ugly start for a team in desperate need of a turnaround. This is certainly a game that they can lose. Cleveland is a much more physical team than the Bills.

I don't see a Super Bowl favorite when I look back over the past 3 games. Keeping in perspective that all teams have flaws, this team has a lot of flaws. Some are injury-induced and couldn't be helped, some are over-estimating the talent at offensive playmaker positions. I acknowledge that I was guilty of over-estimating how good Gabe Davis and Dawson Knox were. Turns out, not so good (unless they are playing hurt).

Sadly, Bills completely over-estimated both Davis and McKenzie. This offense is built completely around the passing game and Davis is - at best - a marginal starting WR and McKenzie is a disaster as a replacement for Beasley. I don't know what to make of Knox - is he hurt or is he just not good? Allen isn't enough to carry this team. Sadly, a ton of competing priorities in the offseason for improvement. They NEED better receivers beyond Diggs, they NEED a TE that can contribute, it would make sense to develop a run game, they need to get 2 starting safeties on D if Poyer and Hyde leave.....

Thrilled to have an organization that is competitive. Thrilled to have a QB who has shown that he can be great - though, his recent regression is a major concern. Not crazy about an offense that can't run and a defense that can't stop the run when your home games are in Buffalo. This costs the team a game or two every year that they continue like this. Don't like that now that the Bills have finally become a good organization that now so have the Dolphins and Jets. What the hell - 15 years of Patriots domination while Bills, Jets and Phins were mediocre or worse and now the script is flipped? It's going to be a struggle just to make the playoffs for this team. A loss to Cleveland in a snowstorm and season can be pretty much written off.

May cost them a playoff spot altogether.

He is going to Dallas who has more money to pay him.

If Allen is injured and can't play or play well, this game is fully up to the defense. If they are healthy, I think the D can be very good, but they haven't been healthy yet. Even if White plays, he will have rust and missing Micah Hyde really hurts. If Poyer can't play, I think you'll see Dean Marlow instead of Jaquan Johnson and I definitely don't want to see more of Terrell Bernard after last week.

What pieces are those? I don't think the OL is very good at run blocking and they aren't going to suddenly get better in 1 week. They have been improving some from earlier in the season, but there is still a long way to go to be able to lean on the run.

I agree, but I still would not play Allen if his arm is compromised.

I would not mess around with the franchise’s passing elbow. Let it heal or you could ruin him long-term. If he loses arm strength, Allen becomes middling so let it heal right.

We’ll sure, it is a 1/2 game lead over Jets and Miami with them holding tie breaker over Bills. No guarantee Bills win this division. Jets and Miami are much better than everyone thought.

They miss Poyer and Hyde, particularly in run D. They were also missing Milano which was big. The offense was the problem today. As another poster said, it is Allen and Diggs with a little support from Singletary. Davis had a big week or two after his injury, but nothing since and I root for McKenzie, but he is only a decent backup. What is their lead in the division?

0-2 in AFC East.

This is f*cing embarrassing. Defense Gashed

Defense getting pushed around badly.

Allen looks human, suddenly.

Why?

Looks like the plays that Daboll left behind are worn out and Dorsey can’t come up with new ones.
