Diggs adds the element missing from the offense. A premier deep threat, and go to wr. I want Allen to make a move into the top 10 of the league. He has the physical and mental tools. This year he has improved weapons around him. This year should be when it all comes together for him.

Cam makes NE dangerous. With Stidham NE was a shell. Buffalo are the favorites but still have to take it from NE.
-
Cam with an offensive wizard like Mcdaniels, will be successfull. He fits the style of play the offense has shaped into. Run heavy, with chunk plays coming from play action. New England wasnt going to roll over and die. Its on the Bills to take everything from them.

Young man. He will live and learn. In the city? Uber, In the country? Do at your house. Bringnit to you. Have a buddy drive you and stay there. Live and learn.

Jackson was behind 2 first rd picks at his start in Buffalo. As an undrafted unheralded player I get the comparison. Jackson was held back due to the investment made at his position though. When given an oppurtunity he made the most of all of them. Williams had a chance last year to take hold of a spot. I dont think he did. The drafting of Davis and Hodgins tells you what Beane thinks aswell. At a certain point you gotta make the plays. Potential is just a word. Its something that Williams has had since highschool, besides 1 year in Canada, he has never realised.

Bills are poised to be a playoff team and probable divison winner. I expect Buffalo to be in more primetime spots.

Rd 5, Pick 167: QB Jake Fromm, Georgia
Mat68 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For a 5th rder its not s bad move at all. Its low riak high reward. Not the most talented guy, but he did beat out some studs at GA. -
They dont have the players to play that way. NE has had the Qb advantage 98% of the time for a better part of 20 years. They will not in about every matchup this year. That is a massive swing. Last year Brady took sacks when nothing was availble. Threw the ball away when unable to beat a blitz. There is 0 chance whoever plays is going to beat that balancing act. More turnovers, more short fields is going to trickle into the defense.

Your not going to be more successfull without the GOAT and top 2 slot recievers in their primes. Edelman is near the end. The best case of action is get an athletic big arm qb who can get chunk plays out of PA. Take advantage of a running game and good defense. The days of NE having a ball control passing attack are over. Brady played with an efficentcy rarley seen from the position. Your not finding that out of thin air. The genius of Bill would be greatly diminished if they dont change their offense without Brady. Brady played in the offnse for 20 years. Run the ball, get some chunk passing plays off of it. Play good defense and win low scoring games.

The Bills' suddenly deadly WR corps
Mat68 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Looks like the offense and Allen will be better. Having Diggs you can line up anywhere is formation is huge. Also, a guy you can go to in 1 on 1 situations. Buffalo has a legit shot at being special. -
The offense was not that good with the Goat last year. Watching a mid rd pick getting his first chance to start will be laughable. Fumbles, picks, poor sacks. All the things NE hasnt had to deal with from a Qb in 20 years. They will be lucky to win 7 games. Thats the truth. The athletism NE had at LB is gone. The defense is slightly not as good. The offense is significantly worse.

Josh Allen Running Style Versus Cam Newton
Mat68 replied to TroutDog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For his longevity he needs to avoid contact. Buffalo needs to remove the Qb runs. Allen needs to get down or out of bounds. In a playoff scenerio I undetstand leaving it on the feild. You cant survive in NFL running like that week in week outat Qb. -
Love that they doubled down on WR in this draft
Mat68 replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anaylitic wise Davis has all the factors you want. He is also only 21. Big body guys who is a hand catcher. UCF played a few good cbs and Davis lit them up. Im not a scout and havent watch every guy available. More I see of Davis more I like. Word before the draft was the wrs were deep, and NFL starters will be had deep into the draft. As pass catchers, Mckenzie, Foster, and Williams were nowhere near the players coming out as Davis or Hodgins. I think both make it and they add things the offense hasnt had 2019. Interested to see if Buffalo will try to develop a big slot. -
It reminds me of "Last Dance" a bit. The Patriots were old, and limited on cap space. I think Bill has some Krause in him. Wants to be the smartest guy in the room and show he can win without the GOAT. I think either Stidham plays well enough to make the case Brady was done, or they bottom out and he puts himself into position for Lawernce or Feilds next year. Either outcome works. To be a contender again they need the later to happen imo.
-
You can draft the best player, you can fill a need. Accomplishing both while still getting good value is the key. Buffalo basically drafted a player a rd later than where they were rated. They left the draft with a question mark at punter and saftey depth. It might not be the the players people here were clamoring for. They got guys come August, who are going to push decent player off the roster.

RD 2, Pick 54: DE AJ Epenesa, University of Iowa
Mat68 replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Espenesa and Moss have massive upside. Epenesa is only 21. He dominted the big 10 and drafted OTs. He could become Cam Jordan or Michael Bennet for us. Thats more than just solid. Moss has the ability to be Hunt or Kamara quality. I think people are under selling both there ability and potential. -
RD 2, Pick 54: DE AJ Epenesa, University of Iowa
Mat68 replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I bet Dobbins and Moss were similar. Epenesa would have been the 1 guy sticking way out. 1. De is a more important position than Rb. 2. Almost everyone rated Espenesa 20 to 30 overall. 3. The draft was very thin at De and pretty deep at Rb. 4. Moss does not have the deep speed as Dobbins, he does make more defenders miss. At the start of day 2, Buffalo was primed for a solid player to fall to them. I think Epenesa was that player. The picks of Epenesa and Moss are not sexy, they are geat fits and provided the greatest value. On a playoff team with the majority of key players returning Buffalo added 2 guys who will be on the feild alot day 1. -
Rd 4, Pick 128: WR Gabriel Davis UCF
Mat68 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Davis is an interesting pick. Hes young and productive. I disnt know of him. I like his size and deep gear. He puts pressure on every wr not named Diggs, Brown or Beasley. With Espenesa 1, Moss 2, and Davis 3 is best combonation of DE, Rb and Wr as you could hope for. -
Healthy Skepticism for This Year's Draft Class...
Mat68 replied to glazeduck's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Imo it sounds like you are more willing to take a risk on an athlete. NFL football is not easier than college football. They got very good football players. If they had a more ideal athletic profile they wouldnt have been available at the positions they were drafted. The Bills have a fairly complete roster. With the lack of a #1 I feel like Beane went safe in the draft. With covid-19 the rookies wont get the normal coaching. Come September there isnt going to be a vast improvement. I think Beane feels each can compete and play tomorrow in the proper role if needed. -
Who else would be in slot in that scenerio? Mckenzie? Foster? Davis? Inbetween the 20s I think he has the route running and frame to be a big slot. Maybe he sucks. There is a reason why he lasted. I think outside the numbers down the feild he doesnt have the speed. Inside vs zone, nicklebacks or linebakers he could be successful pretty quickly imo. I dont see much development past that. Not great but a diminesion the team hasnt had.
