Josh Allen is worth more than a point or 2. Line would move to -6 or -7 plus without Allen. Preseason perception is still king. If you have the Bills missing the playoffs or Miami winning the division Buffalo loses this game.

Going forward I think you see dime with 3 safties. Lewis looked really good at nickel. Before getting hurt he was beating Johnson out for the job in 21. If Johnson misses any time I have Lewis concentrate on that role. I think Edwards would be smart add based off where Miami likes to attack. Put either Rapp or Edward closer to the box in the seem area. By not having Hyde, Poyer, Milano I think you will see different bodies and different coverages than in years past.

Homes games with wind will be an adventure all year. Some games the Ball wont carry going into that end. Gotta have a better plan and better coverage.

Agree. This will be a test for Williams. Will he have eye discipline. See through the motions keeps your keys. Him hitting Miami’s backs behind and at the line of scrimmage will be key in getting them off schedule. I think Buffalo matches up well. And think they win.

This offense looks nothing like the one last season. But should be an interesting cat and mouse game.

That Oline pretty much negates the advantage. Groot plays like that he could have a massive game.

They incorporated Dime. Lewis was going to play with Johnson. With johnson out Ingram is/was the other slot. Elam is boundary. Benford and Douglas played every snap on defense. In Miami I could see Elam getting more snaps with his skill set matchup up with what Miami likes to do. Miami runs deaper routes so rotating Douglas and Benford out makes sense to me. Different team different game plan.

If Groot keeps that play up we are in great shape on defense. Offense looked good all game. Early the defense was shaky. They righted the ship and had a good second half.

This is really a stupid mindset for a franchise to take. Draft and FA is about making your team better thats it. Can I pick up a third rd pick and still get the guy I like is the only way of looking at it. Arm chair gm you cant trade with the Chiefs. You would rather the Bills draft Coleman at 28 snd not get Carter? Worthy likley still ends up in KC anyway?

Dwayne Carter and a Wr they likely liked more for Worthy? Why wouldnt they make that trade?

Money not being announced tells me it is team leaning. An athletic, young OT get paid paid. Lock him up now. Sign your young guys at premier positions. OT is not an easy position to upgrade in 2024 NFL football.

Yes. Line up and react to the defense. Based off aligment and personal the defense could dictate what they wanted Buffalo to do. Vs the defense is trying to do (x). We will do this to put that player in conflict. Sprinkle in some shift or motion to avoid the defense from checking out of it. First way can work but too much tape existed where tendencies became obvious.

Benard on defense. Everyone remembers Kelce killing the Bills in the playoffs. Benard causes a turnover and makes plays all over the field. On offense I believe Coleman has a very good. Goes for 100 and Td. I think he makes a big play over 40 yards.

Buffalo needed a down in and down out player at Wr. Worthy is an accessory piece. The offense runs through Kelce, Pacheco and Rice. Worthy will have a few chances a game to make plays. Worthy wouldnt provide the role Buffalo was looking for. I think Coleman could be better than Rasheed Rice. He has a better athletic profile but will be used in a similar way. Plus Coleman adds an extra dimension in the redzone with his size and frame.

I mean line him up vs the tightend not formation. Based off alignment the weak side could be the side with the tight end. Overall, I think we are in agreement. Come down to maturing as a player. This can be said for almost every linebacker though. Thats why PA is successful. If he is a liability Morrow offers replacement level average play. I think on par with what Dodson offered. Ideally, Williams becoming a good player greatly impacts the defense.

Have Williams at the historical WILL. Opposite side of the Te. Put Taron on McBride. Obviously, he will have some responsibility in coverage. On 3rd Downs I would like to see Williams used as a Blitzer/Spy. Let him be a Tasmanian devil not a read and react player down in and down out. Milano was deployed this way a lot paired with Edmunds. Also, I think you see many 3 safety looks. Not just Edwards but also Bishop.

Im more excited for Sunday than I have been in the last 3 years. First time in a while we dont know what Buffalo is on offense and defense. Many are looking at that as a negative. Even though the consistency of the last few years was nice but there was an obvious ceiling. Now as much as the floor is being doubted no one knows what the ceiling is and that is refreshing. Offense seems to be built to dictate to the defense using the ground game while always having the threat of Allen challenging all areas of the field. The defense is much faster in the middle and has better depth at tackle. The safeties are not Hyde and Poyer though the past few season 1 or both have been in and out of the line up. Im optimistic. Buffalo has 17 and more often than not he will be the best player on the field and best player on either team. After watching the premier teams in the AFC last night I have no doubt in Buffalos ability to play with either team this season.

They really liked him and thought he could develop into a weakside backer. On defense give me speed and athleticism. Williams has the juice if he can get comfortable in the scheme I think he can be an improvement over Dodson last season. I think Benard helps Williams along and ideally lets Williams play free next to him.

31-10 Buffalo. Buffalo comes out fast and the offense looks more efficient. Coleman has a big debut. The defense forces some turnovers.

This is Allen’s offense and Bernard's Defense.

Same passing numbers as last season he will be looked at better without Diggs and Davis. If he is more efficient he takes it pretty easily. Allen is entering his prime and I think he is going to shove this season up Diggs and every haters ass.

Yes, Allen throws 3 picks they will not win those games. If he does not Buffalo has a very good chance at winning.

And their best defender walked. Their best lineman walked. I dont see Dolphins or Jets improved to a level that makes me concerned Buffalo fell behind either.

Pretty sure the plan is an extra bye. Labor day opening weekend. Super bowl Presidents weekend.

Cook had more scrimmage yards, higher yards per carry and higher yards per catch. I am not saying Cook is better but the difference in the players are not drastic. Yes, Wilson is a premier talent and after you have Williams. Always hurt. Tyron Smith at OT always hurt. They have question marks and injury concerns everywhere not name Hall, Wilson, Mosley, Reed and Sauce.
