Cooper is going to open things up for Coleman so much...he now gets the #2 CB instead of the other teams #1 CB...
This offense might be more dangerous than ever before with the mix of weapons they have and how good they are with the run game.
I don’t think we have any subs though…,
It’s Cooper and Coleman on the outside, Shakir in the slot and Kincaid at TE….
Anyone goes down and we will have problems….Hollins is clearly a useful player that can spell all three starting WRs, but he cannot replace them.
On the bright side, we are deep at RB for the moment.

Football decision. Not $.
Of course not, we have already paid him in full….
Oof! We’re paying for that one!

I remember he was at my grade school when I was in about third grade…. I remember staring at him and he waved to me and I think I waved back….He spoke to the whole school in the auditorium but I have zero recollection of what he said. I don’t think I really listened….He struck me as a very nice person though…. I wasn’t a Bills fan then. None of my five older brothers were either. They were terrible, just awful at around that time. I remember one brother I looked up to was a Joe Namath jets fan, but I…. I hate to say it, I was a cowboys. I had a lot of their football cards and had favorite players. Calvin Hill and Bob Hayes were my favorites. I remember the big kids talking about football and I think most were either Jets or dolphin fans if you can believe that, and I said something like, the cowboys will kick their ass! And I did not outrun them….I remember getting kicked….
Had to wait for Lou Saban to come back to make everyone Bills fanatics….at least in my neighborhood….
thats my Billy Shaw story….
RIP BILLY SHAW
GO BILLS!

Hopefully they don't trade him to their division rival...
I have no idea about contracts or compensation, but if was asked what one player could help the Bills the most (again, nothing to do with contracts or age or compensation) I might say, Adams. He would help a LOT!
My other pick would be Chris Jones…He is just outstanding and you would take him off the KC…. There is no doubt in my mind that if Chris Jones was on our team instead of their’s we would have won every game. -

If he’s $17M+ like another posted, that’s more than I think this team should be willing to spend on him. Yes he’s been really good, but this regime seems to have a knack for find and replace in the defensive secondary. Spend that money elsewhere.Not outside CBs though…. He’s really good and really tough and really young. You have to sign him (if we can) we have so much dead money, iDK if we have it….

Shakir is going to get his 2nd contract too - but just not for the crazy top of market $$ that these #1 WR's are getting these days
We have to draft a WR….

Beane has proven that he knows well it’s cheaper if you do it sooner. The player is eager to get a big pay day so settles a bit, while the market is only going to go up. It’s how Beane usually rolls.
Cheaper? WTF are you talking about? LOL! Beane gives everyone top dollar all the time!

First, I still really like Jordan Poyer and I hope when Dolphins come to Buffalo, Bills do something classy for him. But I’ve noticed that as he gets older he takes some horrible angles at times. I’m glad he did on one of Cook’s TDs but man did he blow that play.
He tried to pull a Thurman Thomas on us and couldn’t. He still has another shot but has to stay healthy, not an easy assignment for an older that hasn’t looked like himself since the 2021 season.

Groot gets all the attention and deservedly so, but he already basically exceeded what he did for the entire season last year in one game.
When Von was on the field, you noticed him. 1 sack and 1 TFL as his impact plays aside, he was consistently a menace in the backfield. And anyone who doesn't want to give him credit for that sack should go watch the play again because he bull rushed the Tackle right into Murray, which caused it.
I was pretty confused at the amount of people saying things like "he has something like a 5% chance to do anything this season."
Who knows what his sack production is for the rest of the season, but barring injury, he clearly looks like he'll be a net positive for our DL.
Hope the Von doubters find that Crow tasty
Yeah, Von looked like he was a rookie again! LOL!

It's actually insane - here & nationally.
He had 2 big plays yesterday. The 1st TD was some of the best blocking I've seen in awhile, and reflective of how good Reid is. Most fast receivers get that TD. The 2nd TD was a completely blown coverage, and pretty much ANY WR would have gotten a TD on.
He's incredibly fast - but we knew that before the draft. The internet went crazy last night blaming the Bills and Beane - as though we didn't expect the guy to make some plays in one of the best offenses, with one of the best QB's and best offensive minds in the game?
But that's beside the point. In all likelihood, KC would have gotten Worthy by standing pat in that draft. Instead, we traded - and not only got Coleman, but Bishop as well. People keep saying that if Worthy outperforms Coleman, it will look terrible for the Bills....but what if Bishop turns into a top safety?
It's almost like it's in the national psyche that KC always bests the Bills. That will probably turn out to be a good trade for both teams, but the hot take reaction was so over the top anti-Bills.
You’re rationalizing the story badly. If Worthy turns into a star and Coleman does not, Beane is an idiot. No ifs, no buts, no coconuts….
And Beane is the most overated GM the Bills have ever had.bHis drafts from Edmunds - 2022 get about a C grade…. That’s it.
His FA moves are in the realm of crazy. The Diggs trade, The Diggs contract and especially the Diggs second contract….Ooof!
Paying Von like he is at the peak of his career and for so long, just nuts. Why did he give Star and Knox so much money?! WTF is he doing? He is doing it again with Dawkins and TJ….Negotiate Beane! It is like he thinks making players the highest paid is a good thing. I’m afraid to see what we paid Brown, he is not a top notch RT….
we don’t beat KC in the playoffs because their team is better than ours with the exception of the boneheaded :13 sec move and the injury to Tre White….
If the 2023 and 2024 don’t really impress this year, I’m gonna puke, because that means it’s all over…..
Were never gonna beat them because they have much better decision makers….

Forget the first 2 days for the moment. Can you recall any team having a better day 3 or 4 (UDFAs and invites) than Beane put together this year? Granted, it's too soon to know the final results, but I think several of these guys fron Davis to Andreesson have a real shot at becoming excellent starters. On top of that, we've got very good draft capital for next year and we will have plenty of FA money to spend.
To me, when you say the Bills' window is closed, what you're really saying is that you have no faith in Beane. Sure he's had some misses, but he's had far more hits.
What do you think?
First off, as you say, way too soon is not strong enough of a statement. Ask in two years at least. I like the late picks too and I agreed all year we needed them badly (so many wanted to trade up for one WR but they were only half right, we needed both for sure.)
Second, how do you know for sure we will have plenty of FA money? I have been wondering about that all summer… We still have Von’s contract and now TJ’s and Dawkins’. The last two have to be healthy going into next season or that will crush us perhaps.
I don’t know about next year’s FAs either, how many new contracts are due? We will let Spencer Brown go, no biggie, but anyone else?I’m really hoping for a return to excellence next season but things have to happen this season first. TJ is coming up on the age where small players playing big start to fall apart. He has to somehow remain healthy. Dawkins too but we are at least developing some tackle talent I think, but either way, if Dawkins is a no go his contract will be a weight around our neck. Beane has to have drafted much better between the 2022 - 2024 drafts than the Edmunds pick - 2021 (a long time for meh, about a C+ grade overall.)
Then we need that plenty of FA money you are talking about and then we have to nail another draft using those extra picks we you have been talking about: WR, DE, CB, S, DT, S, WR….
We need some very sound players and a couple great ones….
Beane’s tremendous picks so far: Allen. Great picks: TJ, Gabe….
Then it falls to good picks….Ed, Groot, etc….
then meh…with a few stinkers….
C+……

Now that we know the initial 53-man roster, and the practice squad is set (possibly pending Jalen Virgil), it's prediction time. This is the time every year that I make my one (1) prediction for the Bills regular season. My track record is pretty good - I'm generally +/- 1 win from the Bills' actual total. I don't go game-by-game; instead I try to look holistically at the Bills as a team for the full season. I do take overall strength of schedule into account, but upsets happen both ways, so I think it's futile to predict the results of each week well in advance. Likewise, injuries happen, guys have big games here and there, etc. There's some averaging out, but overall a really good team tends to win more than a fairly good team, which tends to win more than a mediocre team, and so on.
So with that preamble aside, I'll go on record: I'm predicting 11 wins from the Bills this year. I also think that takes the AFC East and gives us a puncher's chance in the playoffs.
I’ve been really accurate predicting the Bills record lately as well…. This year, I just can’t fathom the Bills going over ten and I went nine….I would not be surprised with 8 wins this year…. Maybe we can do something with a medium #1 pick? I hope the Bills have cap room next year to add a little more talent as well. I’m actually hoping for one big FA and then a couple lower guys. Then with the higher #1 and the extra higher picks we have we can finally do this thing right next season. That’s the best I can hope for at this time.

Go Bills!
We have to see how this season goes to see if we can reload next year… We need a lot of growth during the season….We need the 2022 - 2024 draft picks to be much better than most of the picks between Tremaine Edmunds and the 2021 drafts. That’s #1.
#2 is we cannot have any more career threatening injuries. I’m very worried about Von, Cookie, Dawkins and TJ hitting the wall and killing our cap.) .#3 we need cap space next year enough to purchase a purple starter (red-blue)…. #4 We really have to nail the draft next year too….
If this list of four can all happen I think we can win the SB next season….. Am I hoping for too much?

This is my first thread here. I’m wondering what you guys think. QB is obviously such an important position for the success of a franchise. At what point do you tailor a QB under Josh to better transition into the next era. I love how the Packers make an effort to do this and I think it’s very important personally. I know it’s expensive but it’s also a team investment. I also think it makes more sense when you have an elite QB to be a mentor. Maybe I just have PTSD from the 2000’s but I’d hate to see Buffalo without a promising QB. Thoughts?
I got a two-part answer for you…. Yes, Beane should be looking for a QB in every draft in rounds 3-7…. A young guy with potential to develop. Hopefully he looks great in preseason and we trade him to a team for a pick a few rounds higher …. Like Green Bay did all those years….
But I think to get a franchise QB the team probably needs to bottom out and then draft one very high and then rebuild.

This is a little twist on the Top 100 List that is being revealed. If the league started over and all current players went into the draft pool, who would you predict as the top 10 picks? Would a non QB sniff the top 10?
1. Mahomes
2. Allen
3. Burrow
4. Justin Herbert
5. CJ Stroud
6. Lamar Jackson
7. Jordan Love
8. Caleb Williams
9. Myles Garrett
10. TJ Watt
Watt clearly has greatness and I’d say he is both the scariest and best pass rushing DE or LB in the league easily….
Having said that, how many games has he missed in his career? Seems like an awful lot to me….
He also plays on a pretty good defense as well. Heyward is also a great player. Not as valuable as Watt but he is a great DT and has been for many years and I don’t think he misses games a lot…. It is a huge deal to have another great DL to work with….
If Cornelius Bennett was a great pass rusher, we definitely would have won multiple SBs…
How about this?
Paup - Hansen - Washington - Bruce….. Four Super Bowl Wins, imho… No, I’m not a huge Hansen fan and I think he ruined the wall, but he WAS a Competent 3-4 end whose job was to clog lanes and stop the run. But a hundred Hansons do not equal one Bruce….
But Hansen would be fine with those three impact players…. If I were to make a best Bills’ D ever….It would be a 4-3 which is kind of anti-Bills historically but I think the best way to build our All-time best….
Paup - Washington - Kyle - Bruce
…..Cornelius* - Shane Conlan ** - Lucius Sanford ***
N. Odomes - Micah - Jordan - Mario Clark
* - The Biscuit would play a position he’d be the best at in the whole NFL maybe even today as well.
** - Shane Conlan is undisputed hardest hitting Bill defender ever and a great LB when on the field. This spot could be manned by Shane Nelson or Sam Cowart as well. Cowart was such a great draft LB briefly for the Bills (like all 3 really, too brief!)
*** - I can’t even recall who was the best on that team, Isaiah Robertson was very good as well. I recall Lucius being the meaner one though…More of a pass rusher. I think if I was making a modern team, I’d choose Milano here for his all around game, quickness and speed but bisquit could play now and dominate. For a modern D I’d also go with Cowart for his athleticism as well….Maybe in a few years it will be Bernard? Let’s hope so…
The Bills have had a lot of very good corners so it is hard to pick corners. Maybe Tony Green who was before my time. Antoine Winfield may be my favorite all-time, it is such a shame we lost him.That DL could play and completely dominate playing just about any style…. Washington, imho, is the best run stopper of all-time and could do so much more. He absolutely commanded a double. Kyle and Bryce would be blocked one on one and would often get to the QB in under two seconds. Bruce’s accomplishments would skyrocket with a D like that. It is such a shame for most of his career offenses could all the attention they wanted to Bruce with nearly no ramifications…. Bruce had one year with one good partner and that was Paup (and Bruce was no longer at his peak then, though pretty good).

Haven't seen this mentioned on here. I used the search, so if it is please feel free to merge.
Pegula apparently is upset that Allen has not embraced being in more of a CEO type role and instead is more of the "guy's guy" with teammates. Pegula wants Allen to be "above" teammates and the clear leader in that way as well similar to how some other QBs are...most notably like Brady probably.
Pegula wants Allen to exhibit more of an "Executive Demeanor" and less of the "buddy buddy" way he is now with teammates...
Assuming this is because it blurs the lines and allows others to think it's OK to get away with some things that otherwise they may not feel it would be OK to get away with? Or perhaps that they are a little more lax than they should be?
Article eludes to that being part of the reason Diggs wanted out or had some issues?
Either way sounds like we are likely going to be in for a new version of Allen this year if they are successful, and one where he may be holding others more accountable.
I think he wants him to be more like Brady, who was the OC and had control of the whole team.
i don’t know if that’s in Allen’s nature or not or if that is even a good idea seeing that he is not Brady….
Interesting though…though I thought about this a couple years ago….
Especially now though as it looks like Joe Brady is going to be a HC next year. This is huge. Belicheat was so successful because the water could have been the OC with Brady calling the shots. Of course, I’m exaggerating but Brady did have control of that team like no QB before or after…. It was the perfect storm of football, Belicheat running the D and not needing a real good OC because of Brady…. Of course, in my mind they blew it all cheating all the time….
Anyway…. We sure could use Josh taking total control of the O this year…. I know, I know, he IS the O but I mean from every avenue.
off field, in the locker room, everywhere, demanding excellence…. Though, I really don’t know for sure, he might be doing that now…I don’t know for sure….

Dawkins made the list. Will any other Bills make it besides Allen?
Nobody should make it…. Milano should NOT make it. You have to play most of the previous year is criteria one.
Bernard needs another season to have some sort of consistency to make the list. He doesn’t even have one full season.
I do think Dawkins deserves it though…His last season plus his career together is pretty darn impressive….
It has been a complaint of tons of fans all year…. The Bills have one primo player. Josh Allen and that’s it….
We used to have Tre, Hyde and Poyer but they are long gone….Now Diggs too…Morse was a high level red chip player as well…gone.
I don’t think the Bills can add many players for next season either…They won’t put a rookie on the team unless it is some kind of unimaginable season. I doubt many second years players are on the list either. Possibly candidates imho: McGovern if he has an excellent season at C (but It’s still a long shot I think. Even many Bills fans do not know he had a magnificent season as a first year Bill. Maybe Cook? But it is hard if you’re a one dimensional player. He’d certainly have to catch better. Samuel? I doubt it because I don’t think many fans know who he is yet. It would to be magnificent again. Ed is not good enough, Groot as well….Von is not going to light it up. Bernard is still too unknown but possibly with a magnificent season. Milano might do it but it would have to clear pro bowl play for around 16 games. I just don’t see it next year either…. Maybe the following year though…. If players like I mentioned above have two great seasons in a row they stand a great chance…

Mr. Ted Washington is THE best run stopper in NFL History!
#1!
The best!And he not limited as just a run stopper.
He is in my top ten Bills all-time.
i loved watching him play.
And!
And!
If Marv Levy went out and got Jerry Ball for our D way back when, we would have won at least one Super Bowl!

I'm trying to find out what happened with Nyheim Hines after he had that terrible jet ski accident. All I can find out about Hines is that the Bills released him this spring and he signed soon after that with the Browns. What do the Browns know that the Bills don't? Is Hines ready to play football again, and if so why didn't the Bills keep him?
The Bills didn't use Hines much in 2022 except to return kickoffs, and he did very well at that, but with the new kickoff rules maybe a KO returner is just not a high priority. As for being a running back, maybe the Bills didn't keep him because they felt (like most teams) that running backs are pretty disposable and they didn't want to try to squeeze his veteran's contract under the salary cap. So maybe this all just comes down to money, and Hines wasn't worth the difference in salary he represented.
Does anyone have any other news on him? He seems like a great guy and it's just a shame that he's having to resurrect his career this way.
Hines is a true one-dimensional RB. They have far less value than a three dimensional RB…. I think the Bills have found their three dimensional RB in Ray Davis. We’ll see….
When we had Hines the D knew a pass to Hines was coming and half the team tackled him for a gain of one.

Why on earth would the defenses we play against even bother to try and hold us?
1. They don’t need to because none of our WRs have been fast and they aren’t trying to slow them down.
2. everyone except Shakir dropped everything thrown at them.
But why would jax be such an anomaly?

He will never prove critics wrong. This is because his fans think of him as a top rusher when we signed him but he was already long gone. Nowhere near his hay day anylonger after his first major injury. Just a massive mistake by Beane, massive.
He was still effective on LA because of Aaron Donald mainly but also having Floyd on the other side helped a lot.
He was still good, but that’s it. Not an impact player at all any longer.

No other fanbases outside of Bills even think this is a real debate. Mahomes is the best then everybody else end of story.
Allen is #2 imo and there’s a lot to be proud about that in a league with many young talented quarterbacks.
You people don’t realize how better KC runs their program as to compared to us….
KC has almost every year, had a much better OL and you just can’t discount that.
Last season, KC might have had THE best D in the league… That defense beat us and win the Super Bowl not Mahomes….
KC does not take 30 mill dead cap hits. That is absolutely massive! It looks like we’ll have a ton of dead money again next year.
It isn’t even close, KC management makes chumps of us every year.
i’d love to see Allen on the chefs and Mahomes here. No way Mahomes is the difference.

Maybe (But i doubt it) this can quite some of those that complained about Beane trading Teller to the Browns . Although it would have been nice to have him because he is a bad man but he was more of a unknown then than now but Beane has definitely focused on the O line since .
And some his his picks have been pilfered by other teams so they must like his work too !!
McGovern was way better than Torrence all f***in’ year……. One of Beane’s best moves….ever.
Excluding JA, predict your impact player - Bills at Seahawks (includes final injury report)

I’m hoping Ray Davis shines bright once again….
Has Ed have a big game yet? I don’t know Seattle’s line but maybe they have a weak LG?
