I think that is most likely the way. Pay in FA for O lineman. Draft 2 to grow. Early pass rusher or catcher. Buffalo needs to try and add the best possible players. I would take runs at all the top tier players. Bell and Lawrence come to mind. Cover all holes in FA use the draft to add talent.

What it would take? A first? Depending on where Buffalo picks I wouldn't hate it? Biggest need is offense skill positions. Those may or may not be worth drafting that early. Most of the time takes a few years to develop. With the new rules I could see the kid from Oklamaha getting a look if he blazes the combine. Buffalo needs to be aggressive if they are high on Edmunds and Allen.

I'm a Josh Allen nut hugger and I even say this is too far. I think pure talent stand point gives him the potential to be, but he still has to produce on the field to be that, and continue improving.

I hear the clip with Pennington and come away with the notion that he has not watched either Jacksonville or Miami game. Missing 1 or 2 throws a game is no differant than what Rodgers or any other top Qb does. Allen has not shown himself as a first read and run player. He has made big time throws in bigtime windows. Allen's biggest thing is he needs his teammates to better understand how to handle the scramble. When to sit down your route when to come back towards him and when to slip out deep. Buffalo would be wise this offseason to consult with Arians. He had his hand in young big ben and scheming the scramble. If the scramble is controlled chaos the defense is put at a severe disadvantage. They do that sky is the limit. As long as Allen stay humble and continues to grind he will be special.

I was mistaken. Didn't see this view.

He was 2 plays away from 350 and 4 TDs. First, the play to Clay everyone saw and talked about. The top offenses have players that routinely make the type of plays. Half of Mahomes TDs are guys making the play on the other end. Secondly, the bomb to Foster. I thought Allen threw a bad ball too much on it. If you watch Foster drifts toward the center of the field. If he runs that route straight he catches it and walks in.

Under perfect circumstances Taylor made a poor throw. Allen reversed feild twice and threw a crossed his body for 40 plus yards. The fact the ball was even catchable defies physics. The pass before to Jones would be a similar pass. 3 steps boom Allen put it on the money. Those are plays Mahomes, Brees, Brady and Rodgers routinely have guys making. When its caught it's great. When its dropped he is inaccurate.

The pass is a super freaky play. The ball traveled well over 50 yards. Clay needs to gather himself and make the play. Only Mahomes or Rodgers could have made that pass. Clay was surprised by the pass coming to him and wasnt in good position to catch it. Mahomes get 5 passes caught like this a game. If Buffalo pass catchers dont get the ball on the numbers they dont catch it.

Out of the current crop of Wrs I think they need a whole new crop with Jones, and Foster the only true hold overs. A combo of rookies and FA, with 4 new ones sticking.

I dont think Allen will be a high completion % qb. Now I do see room for improvement. I am very impressed with his ball placement on balls in side 25 yards. Seem to be able to place it. Something Ej and Taylor didn't do. Something Fitz was spotty with. Imo it's a chemistry thing. His wrs are young and new, Allen had limited reps in preseason and was out for 4 weeks. An off season of guys catching passes from Allen will sure up somethings. Having guys who can go get the ball in the air will help too.

8 too high for a flex. If he runs sub 4.5 maybe late teens early 20's. If Font had the ability to inline block I would be more intrigued.

So many? One miscommunication with Jones in the endzone and one deep ball to foster? Including the pick he made 3 poor throws out of 30. You consistently see guys making plays in the elite offense. The last two plays sums up the season for Buffalo and the offense. Allen makes a perfect throw to Jones. Text book back shoulder fade. What looks like a big play on 3rd down with 50 sec left was actually dropped. The final play was chaotic, wreck less. Your saying no, no, no than crossed his body about 50 yards in the air to a wide open clay. Yes, yes, yes and bounces off Clay's chest game over. Neither play was easy but those are what is holding the team back. When guys start making those plays Buffalo will win alot of games.

Jones or Clay make either play this is a different conversation. Allen damn near went 90 yards with 0 times outs and 230 left on the road needing a TD.

It's hard to tell. Looks like a guy to me who has 6 starts and not enough offseason reps to have good enough chemistry with his skill players. Wide open Allen thought he was going to sit down Zay kept running.

The top QBs routinely get help from their teammates. I come away from this game thinking how good will Allen be if he has guys that routinely make plays? If the ball is not put on the numbers his guys dont catch it, when he does it's still dicey.

No. You could argue he isnt even the most talent LB for Dallas or the most explosive. Jaylon Smith is a huge boost for him. Edumonds at 20 is calling the plays and making the checks. Give Edumonds an NFL off season and look out. He could add 10 pds of muscle. He also has the ability to come off the edge on long passing downs.

Allen shows he is a dude and 90 mil in cap space does the job. The new Fieldhouse helps but would not be a factor for a world class athlete.

With the team needs, finishing in the bottom of the league will not help this offense. The Bills need an infusion of offensive talent. The top half of the draft is pretty much all defense. Picking from 10 to 15 would be ideal for the pick of o lineman or skill position player. The bigger improvement this year by Allen just makes 2019 more promising.

Those deals where only 10 mil guaranteed. Like Gurley. It's not really the overall number as it is the guaranteed money money a year for a Rb now.

You cant blame Hackett for having a Qb who cant throw the ball inside the numbers.

There are not many top talents in the FA pool. Instead of overpaying for potential inwould over pay for a guy who is elite. I would give him a big 3 year deal. 3 years 40 mil. Trade McCoy for cap savings and pick up a player or mid rd pick in return.

He seemed to lose his suddenness. Seems from point A to B hes as quick as ever. That hop step and start stop has faded. Gotta find some one give all that money to, I trade McCoy for a mid rd pick and back brinks up to Bell for 3 years. Bell looks like the best skill player available.

You need to be very nitpicky to want a much better performance vs that defense. The most athletic defense in the NFL he beat with athleticism. He made some great plays and willed the offense to victory. Hopefully, he can build off this next week.

I just dont understand the comparisons and expectations. You could say Geoff, Trubisky, even Big ben... You are using busts when many successful QBs have had similar stat lines early in their careers.

Never said HOF or any level of accolades for that matter. I just do not understand why more people are not impressed by Allen out athleting Jacksonvilles defense. He doesn't have a go to guy on 3rd down. He doesnt have a running game to fall back on. If this was a terrible defense than I understand. I do not recall an easy matchup yet for Allen.
