Von, Hyde and Poyer dramatically skew this number. -Cook -Kincaid -Torrence -McGovern -Bates -Oliver -Rousseau -Epenesa -Bernard -Williams -Benford All young players, who - outside of AJE - ae locked down for multiple years. If we do what I think we may this offseason, which is cycle out Gabe, Tre, Hyde and Poyer.. to be replaced with a rookies/younger players.. all of a sudden we are much younger. This was always going to change once Allen's cap hit starting becoming something we had to deal with financially.

Von is basically year to year after next. Where we draft, we can "hope" to get guys that develop like AJE and Rousseau. I'd seriously consider extending him in season.

-Jets make elite QB's look bad excuse. -London travel to play an acclimated team excuse. -Travel back from London to play our former OC excuse. I mean, honestly.. all valid. However, we're six games in and making excuses for the Offense being terrible in half of them isn't going to be acceptable to many, even those in the building.

In a sane world, this man would be a shoe-in for our next President.

Certainly wouldn't surprise me.. he's a rookie linebacker in his first start. However the talent is there. He has every raw skill you could want in an off ball linebacker. The fact he was able to be solid in his first start bodes well for him as it starts to slow down mentally as the season progresses.

I could be totally off, but the vibe I get from AJ is that he likes it here, he respects the organization and seems to be someone who would be willing to extend for a fair enough deal.

He looked more explosive than last week, but he still seems a way off. Bills have to keep sprinkling him in, because getting him back to pre-injury Von by the time we hit the Playoffs is the goal. However, yes, he's very clearly DE4 .. by a large margin .. behind Rousseau, Floyd & Epenesa. Good news is that those 3 might be the best pass rushing trio in the NFL.

Milano is an elite playmaker, but the silver lining in losing him is that he plays the most easily replaceable position on a defense. I'm gladly eating crow on the back to back RD3 LB picks, because Bernard looks very good and early returns on Dorian Williams are that he could follow a sped up trajectory as a read/react linebacker without the MLB responsibilities.

AJE is becoming the guy I most want to extend. It probably means moving off Gabe, Tre, Hyde and Poyer.. but I'd love to pair him with Rousseau for the long term and then put a team friendly offer on the table for Floyd to come back if he likes it here. They finally got the DL right, and that's without Von. We've seen how much of a struggle it's been to get to this point. I'm doing everything I can to keep the two guys we drafted that have developed into upper tier EDGE defenders.

Hard to really grade him against that passing offense. That said, both Benford and Elam gave up the same deep fade and only one is getting roasted for it. Both also made good plays in coverage late. Benford on the pass break up and Elam was stride for stride on a deep ball late. Elam had the penalty in the end zone, but also made a quick close/tackle to keep the clock running and keep them short of a first down. Other than that, probably need an All-22 breakdown because Taylor was just throwing short middle of the field routes to nickel & dime us all game.

Either figure out how to make Dalton Kincaid the chain moving option outside of Diggs or trade for someone who can be that. I think it's almost as simple as that.

I honestly feel like i'm losing my mind when people defend him by throwing aggregated stats out. We all know he's a top tier deep threat and is capable of big games. 25% of his production last year was in one game. We have one reliable chain mover. A WR2 in a pass heavy offense should be able to be relied upon to help shoulder that responsibility. 3rd and 6 and our WR2 is out here running 10+ yard routes because he doesn't have the short separation skillset. ....and people wonder why our offense can go from explosive to dud so often.

We've played 6 games. 3 games we're a buzzsaw. 3 games our offense was TERRIBLE. Sure, average it all up and it looks good. Thankfully, unlike you, the Bills themselves know we can't win a Super Bowl like this, and need to get much, much better.

Ok, so if Gabe is what you believe him to be (a good WR2) We have an elite QB, elite WR1, good WR2 and a good OL. So what's the problem? Why do we struggle to move the ball so often, to sustain drives so often? You can give me all the stats you want.. Gabe isn't bad. He's one of the best deep threats in the league. He's good on the scramble drill. However All-22 after All-22 shows he does not uncover quickly and does not run a full route tree. But, hey, let's act like that's not needed for a WR2 in a pass heavy offense... So, whats the problem? Because we clearly have two very different views of Gabe... and I think it's becoming more and more obvious that the lack of a quick separation WR2 is a big cause for our Offense up and downs. You don't. So what is it?

Lol… we scored zero points against one of the worst teams in the league for 3 quarters last night. One week after looking similarly disjointed against the Jags. We’re 4-2, and almost dropped to 3-3, 99% due to our offensive struggles. Nobody is expecting perfection. Last year, yea… I think a lot of us struggled to enjoy the ride. So far this year, “the ride” has been 3 games of cruise control 80 down the highway, and 3 games of going 40 mph in a construction zone behind tractor trailers that keep trying to pass each other.

Thats a lot of words to tell me Josh Allen should trust Gabe Davis to quickly get open on a 3rd and 6. He doesn’t. Because Gabe doesn’t. A WR2 should be able to be counted on to do that. Because Gabe doesn’t, and hes supposed to be our WR2, our offense is Diggs or bust. It’s why we’re so high variance… one game hot, one game cold. What did Gabe do against the NYJ, the NYG..? How did our Offense look? He had 6/100/1 against Jax and most of that production didn’t occur until very late. How did our offense look until very late? They are related. Gabe Davis defenders can act like this is all somehow not related and simplistically look at box scores, but the fact he can’t be relied upon to run a full route tree and uncover quickly on a 3rd and short / 3rd and medium is a big reason we’re so up and down.

How many catches does he average per game in a pass heavy offense? Seems like a weird statement to make based on what I posted.

Davis doesn’t win off the LOS quick enough to be a reliable chain mover. A WR2 needs to have that in their bag. It’s a huge reason our offense is so high variance.

Thought he was better today. Bad penalty in the end zone. Got beat on a deep fade, but it also had to be a perfect throw. It was. Tyrod isn’t great, but we all know he’s mobile and throws a good deep ball. Was stride for stride on the other deep ball late and made a strong close & tackle on one of the final two drives. They clearly couldn’t target him like Jax did with Ridley, otherwise they would have.

Allen also has to throw him the ball. There was a play on the sideline. Cook was wide open. Allen looks him off and ends up having to chuck it recklessly before he gets hit. Would’ve been a first down. Cook flowed perfectly on that scramble drill. Would’ve been a TD. Cook smoked his man in the Jets game for a TD. Allen underthrew it.

The Bills have Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, a good OL and a solid running back room. So what’s the problem? A) Dorsey B) Lack of a trustworthy #2 C) Both I think juries out on (A) although my patience is wearing thin. (B) though .. (B) is clearly an issue. Davis isn’t it. He’s a really good WR3 / Down The Field Threat. We have three options… Hope rookie TE Kincaid develops into that this season OR trade for a more well rounded WR OR Shakir/Harty become more reliably integrated in the offense as the season goes on. If none of those happen.. I fear we’re stuck with this unpredictable high variance offense.

Holy **** Josh, throw to someone other than Diggs

So… the Jets defense apparently just goes scorched earth on elite QB’s. I don’t necessarily view Hurts in that category, but in media circles he’s certainly in that arena.

Almost feel a little bad for Mac Jones with how that final sequence played out.

Why wouldn’t we? Also, they were AWFUL calls.
