IF they trade for an upgrade at WR, I don’t necessarily see a weakness on Offense. The only way teams have been able to slow us down would be neutralized. It’s an easy fix (relatively speaking) if they can find a trade partner. We have one major weakness to exploit on Offense and that would theoretically take it away. On Defense, this group could look ALOT different come Playoffs. Hoecht and Hairston are big additions once they get their footing. Safety is probably a bandaid position where we hope for solid play if they don’t swing a trade. If Hairston is good, the entire Defense changes. Scheme, talent ceiling.. everything. Honestly, even if he’s serviceable, we probably see a major uptick.

If given the choice I’d keep Keon. He’s so raw to the position that there’s still a chance it clicks for him.

I give him credit too, but I also need to see more because he’s running the same concepts as last year and this is the first time, as an OC, that he needs to counter what’s being done to him. So far, he has time to adjust, but he hasn’t shown that ability to do so yet.

Who cares what he did last year? Do we get to carry over those points to this year? Im not out on Brady, but this Offense has been meh this year and doesn’t scare anyone .. even with the best player in football as his QB. The reason I’m not completely out is because of the WR situation he’s been given. Id want to see him with a legit outside WR before I’m ready to think of him in any long term capacity.

Im all in on the Bills trading whatever to get a WR1, if available. That said, BTJ isn’t obvious. Hes been bad this year. Injury concern alluded to above, or he simply has mentally checked out on the Jags. If he played like this last year, we wouldn’t want him for a 3rd, let alone a potential RD1 they could be looking to see if someone parts with. Im open to Brian Thomas, but he and his situation is a head scratcher right now.

I mean… Lawrence will throw the jump ball far more than Allen and they don’t have a slot only guy and a receiving TE occupying the slot, so maybe moving Keon around would unlock him more. I don’t think that’s an outlandish idea.

I’d make the move, but BTJ has been pretty bad this year. Hes dropping passes and looks like he’s alligator arming anything in traffic. Clearly mental, but you’d have to hope a change of scenery fixes it and he hasn’t become a lost cause.

Between the Imam who hates the West/sympathizes with terrorists and this person, it’s HILARIOUS how the media.. outside a few right leaning publications.. refuses to do any research on who Mamdami associates with.

I have to say.. I’ve never had a huge opinion one way or another on this topic. Although I’m a conservative on most things, I’m generally for a societal safety net. This shutdown, and looming SNAP “crisis” has been radicalizing as to how much these programs are simply hard working taxpayers subsidizing the lives of people who don’t want to work. It should be there for those who are truly disabled, can’t work or have fallen on hard times. It’s clearly become a permanent luxury handout program for, what might be, the majority of these programs recipients.

They probably have to go 5-0 over this next stretch of Bears, Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, Jets, get to 6-5 and then a conversation can be had as they play the Bengals twice, Steelers twice, Packers and Pats. That Bengals win over the Steelers kept them alive, because it looks like the AFCN is their only hope, but subsequently made two gimme wins against the Bengals look like potentially tough games.

The DL has Top 10 potential (I think the pass rush numbers already show this even with the injuries) and if Benford returns to form with Hairston finding his footing before the postseason, that’s how we get to the playoffs with a Defense that can win a Super Bowl without needing Josh Allen & the Offense to be lights out. I do agree that group has potential. They desperately need the linebackers to find some semblance of health and for Hairston/Benford to be an average to above average tandem on the outside .. which isn’t asking a ton, even with the missed time, of a RD1 CB and newly paid CB. I’m not expecting them to be Gonzalez & Davis this year, but that’s an insane level of investment to not have competent corner play by the time the playoffs roll around.

Zohran can pal around with a psychotic Imam and no one will care because only the Post reports it.. but this is an unforced error. It won’t matter in the end because Cuomo & Sliwa are ridiculous, but not a great idea to get into a war with the New York Knicks as Mayoral candidate of NYC.

If we somehow come out of the bye with Hancock and Hairston out there playing meaningful snaps, ill be pleasantly surprised .. and the vibes around the team make that sound like a legit possibility.

I’m fine with Bishop. He has legit talent. It’s up to the staff to figure out how to unlock it consistently.. and up to Bishop to keep himself healthy. I have hope that a legend, even at his age, that would probably give his life on the field for the Bills, can be more of a steadying presence to help Bishop along than whatever Rapp was doing out there looking like the Monstars drained all his ability to play football overnight.

Every fan sees why we can’t stop the run without throwing numbers at it. We draft undersized, penetrating DT’s. Thats the trade off. We draft undersized, sideline to sideline linebackers. That’s the trade off. Our run defense is bad by design. Always has been. Everyone saw this coming a mile away. Now it’s further exposed due to injuries and not having prime Hyde/Poyer to mask defensive deficiencies on the back end. And why do we have so many injuries every year on Defense? Well, undersized players typically don’t hold up as well over the course of the season when getting pummeled by bigger, stronger players. None of this is surprising. Just like the WR issues ever since Diggs/Brown/Beasley. It’s cognizant team building failures and it’s by design. Somehow the only people who don’t see this reside at One Bills Drive. Team is built to rush the passer and hunt off a lead. But we can’t do that when games are close because the opponent has 9-10-11 play drives consuming 6-7-8 minutes, shortening the game for an Offense that has zero quick strike ability due to its constant lack of WR talent. So now we’re a run heavy team, milking the clock… playing other teams who want to run at us and milk the clock. Our defensive philosophy makes zero sense given this reality.
