It’s a transition from old heads to young heads. biggest losses: Poyer and Hyde. 2024 Bishop is likely better than the 2023 versions of P&H. Younger and cheaper. Tre- he’s not a loss- we’ve gotten nothing from him for 3 straight seasons including the playoffs. Cheaper Morse- could be the biggest loss, I don’t think the combination of Edwards/SVPG is too much of a downgrade. Younger and cheaper Diggs and Gabe- diggs was a detriment to the team the second half of the year. I was one of his biggest supporters down the stretch but the dude just didn’t get it done. I’d rather have both Samuel and Keon over Gabe 💯. Neither are Diggs but both can be what Diggs was in Brady’s offense last season. Hollins > trent. Also got younger and cheaper. Phillips- settle- Linval- traded out for Carter,Johnson and Williams- I’ll take this years 3 over last years. Younger and cheaper. floyd -(&shaq) when our d was at its best last season, he was flying around making plays. Then the last 1/3 of the season happened. His play declined dramatically and he saved his most invisible game of the year for the finale vs KC. Shaq was a jag. Replaced with Von, Smoot and Soloman. ^^^^^^^^^^. This is what worries me most. Will we be able to create pressure on opposing QBs? Pass rush is where I’d look for help if there’s any help to be had. Can Rousseau and AJ each take their level up a notch? Did we strike gold with soloman? Can Von even be 75% of his old self? I think this is what will eventually make or break our season. Last season we were top 5 in sacks. We need to stay in the top 10 and disrupt the QB in the playoffs.

A lot less wiggle to my eye.

I dont see it with Gore Jr. Looks pedestrian to me

It’s funny when people talk about his age as if it matters. He’ll be on the team for 4 years and then will leave unless he’s willing to play for less to stay.

Huh? So your scolding him for taking Kincaid and not reaching for or trading up for a WR? We took a potentially stud pass catcher and a guard that looks like a future pro bowler with our first two picks to help surround Allen with talent. Sorry that it wasn’t the position you had hoped for, but Beane had a fine draft

Because they’re going to get rid of one after this season and because they’re paying their QB 1M-

disagree- he’s still pretty dam good, won’t cost much and can be fit under the cap relatively easy. I think he’s just about the only way to upgrade the WR at this point unless you think trading for Aiyuk or Higgins feasible. I don’t

What other young and affordable WRs are obtainable at this point?

🤷🏻‍♂️ I thought all of that has been discussed in the other eerily similar threads

Good points and I agree that we haven’t invested enough into the WR unit. They put their bag on Diggs to be that dude and to carry some ARs that weren’t worry. Their belief in Gabe really backfired on them. I didn’t like drafting a RB in rd 4 either, but I love the player they drafted and I think he’ll help us as a rookie . You don’t always get that out of 4th rd picks. Will get to see Brady’s true offense as opposed to him calling Dorsey’s playbook. Seems like he has the vision. Use the short to open up the deep. I have no problem with it…. Yet Time to get on board or find a new ship! Doesn’t seem like these guys are going anywhere while Pegula is the owner. Him leaving is your hope.

Week 1 mnf @ Houston And that’s to be expected, but many of our primetime games are often vs big opponents. Every big game can’t be primetime.

Josh needs a run game to lean on. The narrative the last 4 years has been “Josh is being asked to do too much” and to relieve him of that, we had to become better at running the ball and allow the run game to compliment Josh’s abilities. That doesn’t mean we have to become a heavy run first team every week. We had to improve the run and we have. What happens from here on out, we’ll see what Brady decides to do but we have 5-6 pretty good weapons along with a solid OL to run an offense that has the ability to succeed in many ways.

One doesn’t have to be obsessed with your mental state to notice. It just sticks out like a sore thumb. It is strange considering I think I kind of know the guy behind the posts. I was wondering the same thing. What kind of “work” did you put into this? All common knowledge at this stage in the game, no?

When it’s not what people think is best for the team, the FO is making a mistake.

I hear ya regarding peters fit….but even if we put peters at LT and Brown at RT, slide Dawkins to LG. of all the players of the drought era, I think we’d have to start my making sure we got an elite player, preferably at a premium position. Pass rush, LT, WR and those happen to be spots where we were elite, or close to.

Ray Davis scooping 22. I can’t dig it

Two is tough- can’t decide between the 3 Mario Peters Moulds note- Kinda sorta should be TO for those that want a WR based on the OP

He’s sad 😢 Our lovely Logic has applied for entrance into the Sadness Brigade. Awaiting approval I believe 😞

I like the 24 on Bishop

Yeah, it’s an admirable trait. Doesn’t mean it’s a good decision.

He might be the best QB ever. He’s ended 3 of our last 4 seasons. I don’t like the guy. Not sure why any bills fan would like him. But hate is a different story. I don’t hate him. From the outside, i think he could have it a lot better than he does. You're about to be a billionaire and you get to choose one person to spend the rest of your life…. And you choose her. The biggest decision one could make….and you blow it in such a big way. 🤦🏻‍♂️ sorry, not sorry.

This signing just confirms that Claypool is now a minimum contract FA. i think they want some big and some not big. They want talented guys that can make plays and will try some out. I do agree that they have a need for having at least 2 of that prototype on the roster. Being more physical is definitely a focus, but we signed the not so big samuel and will feature him and not so big shakir. They want a mix. Finally.

Claypool is in a tier of his own. He’s the only one that was eligible to play and healthy, but wasn’t given playing time because he sucks and can’t stop committing mental error.

Ugh- no thanks. Proven obj over a terrible football player with zero Iq all day. There’s a reason one was paid what he was while the other was paid what he was. One is valued. One is not

Wonder what the gtd is.
