Welcome back- DOOOOOOOMED!!

Agreed. I think the KC offense will be much improved with the return of Rice and, imo, they had one of the best drafts in the league. Simmons has the ability to change the dynamics of their OL. Losing Thuney will hurt, but having a LT that doesn’t suck is going to make a big difference. Norman Lott has great pass rushing potential from the inside and I really like what Gillote brings on the edge in terms of creating pressure. I would’ve been happy with Jalen Royals in rd 2 and they got him in rd 4. Add Nohl Williams to the CB unit and Breshard Smith to eventually become McKinnon 2.0 and it’s a home run draft in my book. KC isn’t going anywhere- I expect them to be better than last year on O and about the same on D. Like we say every year- we can beat them in the playoffs if we’re reasonably healthy and the D line can get pressure and disrupt their flow. Both have been issues the last 2 playoff meetings.

I’d bring him in and talk to him and dig a little deeper. Then go with your gut. Not sure what he’s looking to make $ wise, but I wouldn’t be happy if we went to KC, Baltimore, Cinci, Houston, LAC, Denver or the AFC east for a couple mill

🤣 theres probably 200k “fanboys” on this earth. And maybe 8 of you. you’re clearly delusional

I don’t think the injury will impact our season. I do think it ends his chances of making the team next season. Will probably cut him or just IR him again next year

Allen Bernard

Will this thread hit 3 pages? Bump

Arvel Reese is fun to watch. Would love to snag him on day 3 and work on his coverage

Not sure how I never noticed that he was the guy you wanted in the draft. 👍🏻 eager to see how much the added strength helps in the run game. He had some nice pancakes last year. I felt that Mack was such a big part of our run and rac game last season, but Palmer can be an asset as a run blocker too. I wonder if we use less 6 OL this year due to the addition of Hawes. 9 days away

He might be top 5 most positively influential people when talking about our teams success

Albeit with (hopefully) a more exciting highlight reel 🤣

Great comp 👍🏻 hopefully we don’t think of him in the same way with regards to injury. Thanks- Interesting thought. I think our pass % could tic up some, but won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t due to continued success. If the run game isn’t as effective as last year- he better pivot

When we drafted him, I figured he’d be the scramble play cheat code. He had a couple big ones but I was expecting more. Most of targets should be above average in that category. So maybe that will limit him some. Especially our RBs.

I wasn’t sure how to word the poll, but settled on this one. I considered “will he breakout”, “will you regard him as a stud WR etc.. Each seemed so subjective. So I went with this. I know you’ll probably prefer some different options to vote for, but this is it. Look into the crystal ball and discuss one of the most polarizing (imo) players on the Bills. Last year I had projected a breakout into the top 5 TEs for Dalton Kincaid. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m feeling the same about Keon this year- not too 5 or anything crazy, but a sizable improvement. I’ve been reading a lot of players and media members mentioning how Keon looks much improved when compared to last year. Is this just “players talk”, propping up their teammates? Will his added strength allow him to get off the line with ease? Has he become a better route runner? Or is it just hype? I had initially predicted he’d finish with 51- 825-6. My thoughts were that Palmer would have similar stats and Shakir would up his catches and yards by around 10%. Currently thinking Shakir will be just about the same as last season and Palmer will go for around 700 or so, leaving room for Keon to snag more targets. 9 days away, I’m thinking that 51-825 is slightly conservative. Maybe I’m just drinking all the Kool-Aid I’ve consumed, but I don’t think 1000 yards is as far fetched as I had originally thought. If he plays in 17 games, 69- 1008- 8 (flame away). Certainly a Kool Aid tainted projection, but I’m feeling it Just discuss your thoughts on our boy. He’s the guy I’m most excited about this year and I hope he’s a focal point of our offense. I’d like to see him targeted more on quick slants and dig routes. He could be Shakir 2.0 in the way he excels at running after the catch.

He was probably cut because he can’t catch or block. A fine athlete, but I think he should focus on punting

If a team with +600 odds doesn’t win the Super Bowl, the coach is a loser. Odds are….we won’t win the Super Bowl Ethan. If we do win it, you’ll be still crying and whining for the next decade. Enjoy the season like most of us will!! But we all know you won’t.

Because they have other needs and had aspirations of fixing the DL? they drafted strong later on. Just like the year they drafted Elam and Benford. One early. One late.

In the adult section. One moment of poor judgement doesn’t outweigh years of leadership and bonds. but in this case, it does because it fits your narrative

Logic suggests nothing of the sort. you’re a bum. Obv

Thanks- 🍿

We would’ve been over the hump (imo) if we had been relatively healthy the last 2 years. An injury negated Beanes mini all-in Von Miller for 3 seasons. Missing our best defensive player in Benford both games vs KC. Our CB2 our had a sprained ankle and We were missing BOTH of our starting LBs. Rapp missed last year with Benford. Both of their replacements were taken advantage of just like Milano and Bernard’s replacements the previous season. If we are relatively healthy, we don’t need Micah Parsons. I would’ve been in on him for 2 firsts and 40M aav. Not 2 firsts, Ed or Rousseau and 47M. while we are definitely in win now mode, we don’t have to ruin our roster management over a pass rusher that can’t stop the run

And several believe that Ed or Rousseau + 2 1sts AND paying him 47M aav is too steep of a price for an elite pass rusher who happens to be a liability against the run.

Dam it!! Disappointing so far. You guys are keeping your cool more than I thought.
