7 of our 13 WR's at camp are 6'2" or taller.

As most have said a healthy KB should get a contract from us. Then I'd make a hard push for Golden Tate if he gets to free agency. Tate is durable and the NFL's best YAC. If I can't get Tate, I then go after Rishard Matthews. I keep a very close eye on TE Eifert and how he plays after his injury.

Nah, just messing around with you.

Yeah. He already graduated from UT before transferring to Pitt where he got his masters degree.

Peterman has been named the starter for todays practice.

We traded away the QB that was the only reason we made the playoffs. How can we not expect a massive drop off in wins - even though at almost every position except left guard and center, we're better?

That's an interesting take. That's the set up for a team that 100% has decided on their starting QB.

Oh no doubt that seems very cool.

No, that's why they keep having to find WR's to make him better.

Now see, you can't do that. Don't you know it was a fluke? Unless you want to talk about Tyrod - then he's an amazing QB that lead a team to the playoffs.

Several other guys in respective categories missed games. He's not a receiver I fear. Now that I say that, he'll of course torch us.

I'm not saying they're terrible but Diggs was 25th in yards, 31st in catches and outside the top 40 in YAC. He's a good receiver but I'm not conceding our secondary can't cover him.

I agree with you Sir. I think it's some kind of Bills fan defense mechanism to just think the worst. I know our record last year and playoff birth was fortunate and I think it's entirely possible we could regress in our record. I do think, however, we are going to be a better team.

Vet QB had a lot to do with that too. Enter Cousins who had a rough year last year with sacks but good 2 years prior. We'll see soon.

Oh come off that. Diggs isn't that good - and he's known for being coo coo.

I took total production into account that's why I didn't say passing. I would think 3,300 yards and 18 TD's is reasonable to expect. I hope that's the case because I think it's necessary to evaluate the offense and WR's. Over 16 games it's producing 206 total yards average per game.

Please stay on the thread topic.

Nicely done!

Pro bowl - shmo bowl. Wood was very very good at Center. It's my biggest worry on the o line and it's not close for me.

You're exactly right. It's quite ridiculous to think that's all a defense is going to have to do against us. There's ways to make the defense change things up even if you don't have a prolific passer - as you've suggested.

I along with many other posters have shown Tyrod clearly not seeing open receivers while in the pocket. I believe he's the worst passer from the pocket of any starting QB in the league. He also gets sacked a ton and the misnomer is that it's because of the OL and receivers not getting open - at minimum that's been partially debunked. He's an amazing athlete and his backyard style while maintaining minimum risk is of course Taylor's strength. However D coordinators were not fearful of him leaving the pocket and they still brought the pressure without sacrificing a spy. They knew under pressure he would leave the pocket prematurely. We saw that as a net positive because he often did his best work on the run without making huge mistakes. D coordinators saw that as something limiting their risk because his overall production was contained and he'd often be willing to take a sack vs an interception. He put himself into a box the D coordinators were all too happy to let him do. All coordinators want to get to the QB - it's our OL's job and O coordinator to make that difficult. How they perform will have no relation to Tyrod Taylor not being here.

I agree but just to take it step further, they do have proof of what Tyrod was. It's not unreasonable to think his production can be out matched - the real question is can the team absorb the likelihood of more turnovers. The secondary thing is Tyrod makes it very difficult to identify what you have in receivers and he does not execute an offense. I think AJ gives us the best chance to evaluate the offense and receivers.

I agree with this 100%. Nicely said.

Good man

@greenyellowred I'll be watching every minute too and I'm relieved it'll be that much easier to watch being on national TV. As dollars 2 donuts said - the knuckleheads making fun of you are hypocrites. It's easy to let someone else jump out there and be excited for a pre-season game - wait to see if he gets made fun of - then pretend their not excited too. I think we can compartmentalize pre-season excitement vs regular season. I enjoy watching the position battles, new free agents, draft picks and to see if there's any insight on how the offense might look. Any fan pretending they don't want to see Josh Allen throw is a liar - he's what ultimately makes this pre-season the most anticipated.
