A few random thoughts:
- The offense looked great in the 1st half, but only put up 7 in the 2nd half and we barely hung on to win a game that looked like would be a convincing win
- I think about 2/3 of Cook's yards were in the first half
- The early 1990 Bills would have gotten the ball back with a few minutes to go and
- if we had a WR with speed and separation it would open up the rest of the offense even more: teams would not be able to stack the line, Khalil would have a lot more space in the middle to work. With our current WR's teams can compress the field against us since don't have to worry about the long ball
- we should at least attempt a few long passes a game to keep defenses honest
Elijah Moore is the guy you are describing. Again, it is up to Brady to make the adjustments to get a guy like Moore involved.

People were bagging on that signing, but I mean I look at this dude playing on teams with revolving trashcans at QB his whole career and the man puts up decent numbers, has 4.3 speed, there has to be more that we can do to get him involved in those type of plays.
That's why I don't think it's necessarily fair to say we "need" a WR, I think we just need to choose to use the ones we have differently and take advantage of their abilities in certain areas of the field more. There is no reason why Moore couldn't be more of a weapon in the intermediate and long pass game.
Per my first post, I agree. I think Brady's general scheme is great but we need to start looking at specifically getting certain guys involved.

…that perhaps Joe Burrow ain’t so “elite” and is more the product of a pretty fantastic set of weapons. Flame away.
Watched Joe during his run at LSU and a lot in the NFL. Joe Burrow is elite in the way QBs used to be. Anticipation, arm strength, extending plays, reading defenses, he's near the top in all categories. I think you also seem to forget that Flacco has a ring, the guy was and (sometimes) still is, elite.
Joe's downfall is a fairly poor offensive line and his willingness to stay in the pocket to create the big play backfires on him. If Cinci's line looked like Buffalo's you would not be making this post.

Why can't we get Moore or Samuel open more like we did against KC on that one play? Both have the skills and speed to get open on those type of plays.
Because we were focusing on Shakir, Kincaid and Cook. We haven't been doing that to the extent we did against KC.
I would love to see Moore be more involved and I think if the offense stays on this trajectory, he will be just from the coverage leaving him more 1 on 1 opportunities down field.

Having a real playmaker on the outside makes the offense better in critical moments. I don't think that this is a point anyone should be arguing against. I will say however, that a lot of the passing game "issues" lie within the scheme and the play calling. We have playmakers. Shakir finished 2nd in yards of separation last year and is currently 6th in the league. And we know how lethal he can be once the ball is in his hands. We have Kincaid who is 1st in yards after catch amongst tight ends, Allen's passer rating is 158.1 when throwing to him. And we have Cook, who really needs to see more usage in the passing game. He was considered an elite pass catcher with high level route running. He was Georgia's 4th leading receiver, which considering he was splitting time with 3 to 4 other running backs, was impressive coming out of college. And frankly, any time he touches the ball, it's good for the team.
I am fairly confident in my assessment of the offense because the Chiefs game we saw significantly more emphasis on Shakir, Kincaid and Cook. And the offense looked arguably the best it had all season. Going forward, this is the formula. The "everybody eats" mantra was cute and a way to take a shot at Diggs, but in reality, the ball needs to be put in the real playmakers hands. Only then do things start to open up for other guys as the defense is forced to adjust to stop the bleeding, so to speak.

A. Zero chance dude comes out. At all. Even if this year had went well
B. If by sweepstakes you mean "participation trophy" then right on.
If Manning hit the draft right now, hed be lucky to go in top 10 QBs. He'd be picked after where Shedeur was
I was responding to someone else, may want to clarify with them.

I mean I know that within the league no HC wants to risk one of 32 jobs but...
Say Miami tanks and they win the Arch Manning sweepstakes. they're already turning over the defense. Regardless of Hill they have a security blanket in Waddle. They could probably turn things around quick and be the most attractive coaching destination if they move on
Arch Manning sweepstakes? It'll be a win for the east because Manning sucks.

I agree. I picked this game before it was announced what this was.... I don't think I own any white Bills gear which is saying something. It's never really been a team color.
Except for the white helmets... and the white pants... and the white away jerseys....

Why can't they be unifiers?
It's called an echo chamber. Hitler and the Nazis employed a similar tactic in that whether it was fact or fiction, if it's repeated enough, it becomes fact to the general public.
It's unfortunate for the rest of us who are either right or other. Long ago they silenced their detractors in the media, now they are killing them at the town halls. They don't support free speech, freedom of thought, questioning of the status quo.
They've made Trump the boogey man to further escalate their end goal of violence and destruction of 70% of the American populace.

We've entered the era of being the other team's Super Bowl for the season. Bask in it. It won't last forever, as I think most of us are aware.

I think the young interior of this line is going to be the difference this year. The more they gel and grow together, I think we will be fine. My main concern will remain McD and Babbich's lack of adjustments when things go sideways. Won't have to worry about that too much going forward. The Ravens win is looking bigger this week than last.

According to what I have been seeing on the web, Ravens beat themselves....
They are blaming Henry but Lamar had the ball and all they had to do was kill clock. Harbaugh and Lamar failed in the end. It was McDermott-esque.

I am as happy as a little girl this morning so I am unsure where you figure I hate the Bills.
It's just the same tired crap people on this board come up with when you criticize something about this team. They can't refute the correct analysis so it devolves into lame soap boxing about "haters."

I'm gonna go with the guy that did something so insane that I don't think any of us here can even truly appreciate it. Josh Allen may end up being the best football player to ever play the game, not just the best QB.
McDermott gets zero credit. Defense woefully unprepared. Gameplan was hideously conservative. The 2 point tries... I feel bad for whoever picks him up after Allen retires. Gonna be like Belichick in North Carolina all over again.

This is a drought era team without Josh Allen. Good thing we have Josh Allen. I had many negative feelings but they kept showing Josh's face and I kept watching and then he did Josh Allen stuff and there was much rejoicing.
-
Pass rushers don't grow on trees. If they think they can develop a 3rd round pick into an above average starter, then I don't think it's a bad pick. If they were for some reason hoping he'd be a contributor year 1 then they whiffed hard.

Palmer, Shenault and now Moore. Shenault was definitely a player a large part of the board wanted in the draft when he came out. Moore fits the exact type of receiver people wanted in Worthy last year. I guess I am not understanding how a 4th round wide receiver would some how be a better prospect in a receiver thin class than 3 guys with NFL experience. Is it just the desire for the unknown? You want to be there when "your guy" makes it to the big time?
Shakir is the #1. We used him essentially the same way we used Diggs, except Shakir wasn't bitching every play he didn't get the ball so he saw less targets. Kincaid is technically supposed to be the #2, the generational talent at tight end. You mix Knox and a couple guys in here and there, that's the offense essentially. Cooper improved the offense because he was a deep threat. Coleman is supposed to be that guy but he did not mature as quickly as the staff thought he would, in came Cooper. If Coleman can start to be the presence on the outside that's a threat to Moss a defender down field, this offense will be just as good, if not better than it was last year.
Moore will be the McKenzie of this offense, or at least, that will be what this staff hopes to get out of him. Speed can work just as well on a jet sweep as it can downfield. Get him some bubble screens and make some space, he can certainly be a piece in this offense.

Nakua, despite his name, can kiss his dreams of playing in the NFL away now that he has assaulted a fan. No team will touch him after this. The NFL is not bush league.
These are the kind of guys that Beane gets derided for not drafting. Character is certainly not a quality that should be overlooked.
On a positive note, the Defenders completed the largest comeback in UFL history this past weekend and won 37-33.
If you haven't watched any yet, tune in. Without a preseason or terribly long training camp, about mid season is when these teams come into their own.

I don't know about the weakest wide receiver group but the Bills definitely have the whiniest fan base.

Defense wins championships.
I am going with a B grade. Did not address the weakest position group (safety) and the blocking tight end pick was frankly a throw away pick. Seemed early to make that kind of choice, would've been nice to see that pick made last and a receiver in the 5th.
Other than that? Can't argue with overhauling the very weak defensive line.
