I like our odds this year. We have the best player at the most important position. We have a very solid top 5 OL. We have plenty of NFL level weapons. Best of all our top ranked defense from a year ago was correctly highly upgraded and it should return its best player in Tre White. Barring injuries, I’d be very surprised if we don’t have the #1 defense once again. And this year, we’re not going to attempt to bottle up the QB in the pocket. You hit him and knock him down and that’s exactly what we’re going to do…. PS - We also have very good Special Teams units that also have been largely upgraded this year.

Josh Allen.

The Bills DL will always be graded unfairly as long as we run that conservative D…. No Bills lineman has had a lot of stats since Leslie took over…. The LBs and Safeties make the tackles… and the secondary makes the plays…. It is extremely difficult to evaluate Bills defenders. Especially the DL…. Sports writers understand our D less than I do so they just ignore it. I am hoping the signing of Von Miller heralds the coming of a more aggressive defense. We’d be morons to sign Miller than have him play that D where you push the OL into the QB (instead of trying to get around the DL…) Also, Ed was doubled all too often last season yet held his own. He was doubled because he was our best DL….

Gentry vs. Hodgins vs. Kumerow vs. Stevenson vs. Austin is going to be an epic battle. It’s got to be tough to be one of the guys below that group… I hope all that competition produces a superior player. And that’s IF we decide to keep six WRs… I’m hoping it is a fast guy that makes it. Someone to take the top off the defense. I guess Stevenson or Austin. Although Hodgins is interesting as a always open big target. I read today a quote from Knox. Saying how big and huge Howard is. He makes Knox feel small he said. I didn’t know Howard was that huge. I sure hope Howard is a great blocker…. Knox also said Howard is a worker. That’s good….

But…. but…. Poyer was maybe the only Bills defender with impressive stats across the board…. He was all alone as our second leading tackler… 3 sacks, 5 ints, 9PD, 8 TFL, Hyde had 5 ints too but less everything else…. Though I think Hyde plays deep more often… They’re both really good…

I think Josh’s OL and Weapons are fine for this year save one exception. Josh doesn’t have that huge, Uber-talented WR…. That’s why I wanted to go with Christian Watson in this past draft. But you give us Watson, and I put our weapons up against any one’s. I love our starting five OL this year but I am really concerned over the depth… So, not perfect, but maybe a few players show up in camp? I think we have room for a sixth WR but someone has to show he worth the roster spot. On the OL, perhaps Aaron Kromer can unlock Cody Ford’s game? If not, someone else’s game hopefully.

He’s the best.

But Hyde was a third rounder and Poyer was a seventh…. The good teams get players that weren’t drafted high and they are good. It is imperative for the better teams to stay better…. The Bills have a lot of young guys in the secondary this year. Maybe a couple of them can play safety to our requirements? Were going to find out anyway… Along the same thinking, IThink this is Milano’s last season as a Bill. It depends how his contract works. If the Bills can get out of it at the end of this year it sez here we will. We’ll use his money to pay other players like Knox, Davis and Tremaine.

Meh…The Bills have to draft the more important positions…. The lines for example….

I have no idea what we’re doing? We should have drafted a guard in the third, imho…. We had better sign a guard that can beat out Ford…. That’s what we need, a quality backup… I sure hope Saffold holds up….

Ulmer? Never heard of him….

I wouldn’t have guessed he is still that good. My bad, but I’m very happy that I was wrong…. Billieve me though….the rest of our DL has to really elavate to get us that Super Bowl…. I don’t want a team that has to have the ball last to win…. Beane was able to almost totally rebuild the DL and I’m hoping it is much better than last years version. Combine that with Tre’s return and Kaiir’s addition, and we should have the #1 defense even against the great QBs…. The three young DEs and the three new DTs must combine with Von, Ed and Shaq to form one of the top five DLs in theNFL… We have a modern, extremely athletic yet big DL…. I wish we could add Jordan Davis or better yet DeForest Buckner….

I think Roger Saffold is a top ten LG…. Also Ed Oliver is a top ten three tech… I’d remove Tre until he proves he is back though…. .Dawkins and Morse are around 9-13 as well I think… Milano IDK? LBs ain’t what they used to be…. He is a real specialty player. Great at some things awful at some things LBs are historically supposed to be good at….

Can Kromer fix Ford? I think we’re lacking depth otherwise….

And ipso-facto…Tre comes back from that injury and win the Super Bowl! Will Kaiir Elam be in the top five next season?

But…. But…. Josh Allen! The Buffalo Bills! ???

Lotsa new names along that DL. I hope it marries and that Von can be a leader and having that top nine play as one come September.DaQuon is a huge part of that line. We need him at his best.

Optimistic forecasts? Its all about injuries to me. Bills probably win the Super Bowl last season if Tre White stays healthy. Once again he is a key figure for Buffalo. But every team has many key players. It is still a question mark how many players are key to Buffalo. If we have no depth starters become key. Or if the player is playing great they become key. Do we have DE depth? DT? CB depth? OT depth? Outside WR depth? If the answer is yes to all those questions and Josh stays healthy…. Just give us that trophy now…. If not, things get very dicey. or if we get a lot of injuries forget it…. possible key players for Buffalo: Dawkins, Morse, Diggs, Saffold, Davis, Allen, Knox, Bates, Brown, Von, Tremaine, Groot, Ed, DaQuon, Tre, Poyer, Hyde, Elam…..IDK if we have any quality OL depth. Or DL depth….secondary depth…. I’m not saying we don’t have it, I’m saying, right now, I don’t know… Ford, Doyle are big question marks. Quessenberry is only paid about a half mill over minimum. He can’t be that good. Mancz is paid even less I think… Maybe they’re good maybe they ain’t. You can go all thru the roster almost like that. Questionable depth in most areas…, it might be strong, we’ll see…. What I really love is we have a whole bunch of B weapons and a couple C weapons that might be B weapons…. Singletary, Cook, Duke, Moss, Howard, Khalil, Crowder, McKenzie, are solid B or C and there may be others…. We have a ton of weapons and Beane does a good job of always finding more. This goes with our A+++ weapon at QB and our other A weapons, I’m kinda giving Knox a bump but Knox, Diggs and Davis are our main weapons our A weapons and they would probably be big loses. I’m dying to see the D play this year. I’m dying to see it grow as our three young DEs improve as the year goes on. Dying to see how our three new DTs look. How Von looks, If Tre can make it back….If Elam is as good as I think he is…and just depth along the defense…

Kromer, a way more qualified OC than Joe Brady…. Though I think KD understands how to call plays and why certain plays are called, etc. He knows how to set up plays, the whole schmear. I just don’t think McD is so stupid he’d put a coach in there that doesn’t understand play calling. (Even though no one can explain 13 sec. without making the Bills look stupid.) I think he does fine.

No. Aaron Kromer is on the staff in case KD messes up.

Ugghhh! I hate everything tom Brady . This just reminds me how badly he kicked our asses…. over and over. I don’t like it brought up in any way, any how….

Three ways. Fred and Kyle are way, way, way more deserving. I would hope they’d be locks. I’d put Cordy Glenn and Eric Wood ahead of Fitz…. Wood might have been way higher had he been able to play out that last contract. An underrated Bill in my estimation. but I’d say Jerry, Eric, Fitz and Cordy - no and Kyle and Freddy a big yes! Both of them had immaculate careers in Buffalo and only Buffalo…. Both would be nationally famous had they played on winning teams. I just smile when I think of them…

Oh, absolutely. I used to watch Kelly in the USFL and was similar to how Allen looks now. Just total domination by a bigger, stronger, better player than anyone he played against. He was super-human back then. He could run, etc…. LOL, it is a bit depressing thinking how Kelly lost his knees so young and that happening to Josh too…. But Jim Kelly was mobile in usfl. He wasn’t a runner, but he wasn’t the statue we all know and love from his Buffalo days either…. He was very dominant, like Allen is now. Just super human. (Knock on wood. No jinxes!)

Outside WR - If something happens to Diggs or Davis we might be screwed. The whole OL - if a starter goes down. Defensive tackle - If DaQuon Jones goes down. And of course, we really need to get Tre back to build that Super Bowl worthy defense. Are the 3 young defensive ends good enough? And what about the 3 new defensive tackles? Its a super thin line between the Super Bowl champ and the next best six teams….especially in the AFC….

We gotta build that pressure everywhere. Though I thought Cook would do one and Shakir the other…. Austin, IDK? Does he still possess that speed?, might be able to line up as fourth target in all fours…. Or five-wide? We could use a superfast target….
