    He said a local meteorologist texted him to let him know wind was coming for Sunday 

    I wasn’t saying we can’t throw in the wind .... just stating what I heard 

     

    Oh, no, sorry - I definitely wasn't saying you said that... more so that I'm sick of having to discuss the weather before every home game now that we're a pass-heavy offense.  

     

    But hey... we drafted Josh to throw in bad/windy weather... If he can take that next step, he becomes 10x more dangerous.  Outside of Mahomes, they're aren't too many young QB's who can put up numbers in windy/cold/wet games.

    I’d be open to a first round WR or TE next year  if the talent meets the correct draft slot.

     

    I also agree with others that state another swing at RB could improve this offense further. Moss hasn’t done anything to make me want to stop looking for RBs.

     

    I wouldn’t hand Brown’s spot to Davis as of right now. 
     

     

     

    Agreed. 

     

    I don't think it's even McDermott's style to hand over a position to a second year player like that.  Davis shows a ton of potential, but they are going to make him earn it - Either with Brown in the mix or against another high draft pick (IMO).

     

    As for RB... I always swore I'd lose my mind if we drafted a RB in the first round again, but that was also when we were drafting in/around the Top 10...  If an Etienne or Najee Harris is there where we draft, I'd be intrigued to lock down the RB position here for the next 4 years with a potentially elite talent.

    Sal said the forecast is going to pretty windy. 

     

    I'm so, so, soooo sick of hearing this. 

     

    It is what it is, but we need to figure out how to throw through the wind.  An enclosed stadium likely isn't on the horizon and I'd rather not dread playing at home for the next decade.

  4. One thing that I don't understand about the cap situation is how we, the Buffalo Bills, have all this gnashing of teeth over who we can keep/not keep.   I understand we have some big contracts on the horizon in Allen, Diggs re-up and Edmunds, but we are in very good cap shape compared to many in the NFL. 

     

    Who's going to sign all these players this offseason?  The Jets?... They just not going to sign anywhere?  Many teams are in far worse shape with a lower/stagnant cap than we are... they just going to be releasing players who will get signed to market/above market contracts where?.....

    I hope not.

     

    In fact I want the Bills to go the opposite way and keeping pouring on skill players.

     

    After the success of the 2013 defense, I wanted the Bills to double down and make defense an overwhelming strength my selecting Khalil Mack.

     

    In this case, keep adding to this offense.

     

    I think the OP is the old outdated way of Bills thinking where we look to save money, leaving us one deep at every position. 

     

    Does it need to be John Brown next year, or would you be ok rolling into next year with Diggs-Davis-Beasley and then drafting another WR in the Top 100?

     

    I'm ok either way, but I don't think many people here want to cut Brown and then not replace him.

    I would keep John Brown at all cost.  Look at the numbers when he plays vs when he doesn't.  

     

    That was true when we were adjusting to life without him, but against a tough Niners Defense, Josh Allen and the Offense were machine-like in their execution without John Brown in the mix.   I think we're just starting to see the explosive ability of Gabriel Davis - He does it in a different way than Brown, but at UCF he was a monster deep threat, and seems to be showing that skill in the NFL already.

     

    I don't doubt that we'll be even more lethal with him back, and with the way we throw it around, we need to prioritize having 4 good WR's on the roster every year, but does one of them need to be John Brown next year?... at that cap hit?... I'm not sure...

     

     

  7. I think Davis has big time potential, but I'm not cutting John Brown after this year UNLESS they are planning on using his cap savings to help re-sign Feliciano, Williams & Milano, then draft a speed WR in the 1st Round.

     

    This Offense is built around a solid OL, stud QB and 4 very good WR's.  The trade-off is average playmakers at RB & TE.  Can't have everything (unless you're KC apparently)..  4 good WR's is paramount to this Offense and allows us to still have 3, even when someone like Brown goes down for some games.

  8. Lamar Jackson can run at an elite level, throw over the middle and has a decent deep ball. 
     

    As long as the Ravens can continue to provide him a top defense, strong OL and good TE’s, he’ll be dangerous enough to keep them relevant.  
     

    That being said, he’s not a good enough QB to consistently beat teams that have a good defense and/or can score.

    Pretty sure Peyton Manning brought “his” offense to Denver.

     

    It’s surprising to me that Brady didn’t get to bring “his” offense to Tampa.

     

    I feel that Josh is close to being a master of “his” offense no matter who the OC is.

     

    This. 

     

    They've already built an Offense around him and Josh took out all the plays he doesn't like in the playbook. 

     

    We know what kind of players to surround him with.  

     

    Combined with his command of the offense and ability to check at the LOS, we're getting close - if not already there - to where this is Josh Allen's Offense.  

     

    Daboll is fantastic play-caller, and deserves a ton of credit for getting Allen to this point.  He should be option 1a on every team's coaching wish list, imo.

  10. I've honestly liked Yeldon every time we've given him playing time, but Singletary and Moss are starting to run better behind this OL, and Moss was earning more and more reps with how hard he hits holes and being a bit more reliable in the passing game, before that fumble.  

     

    Both RB's have shown improved ability in pass pro.  Moss had a phenomenal block a week or two ago and Singletary had a filthy block last night that led to a big play.

    Love to see that in the Josh era.

    Great in theory, but Josh running is scary especially with some of these defensive coaches trying to take him off the field. 

     

    Yea, I certainly don't want him designed running in the regular season, but the Playoffs are a different animal - If Josh can gash a team in a bad weather game by running, i'm good running him.

    1 seed gets the only bye. That's huge, but home field is not that important this year. Especially because the Bills are a fast track nightmare for teams to deal with because Josh is prolific in good conditions. In Buffalo, January games call for running the and defending the run. Both of those are not our strengths. 

     

    It seems like we're starting to defend the run pretty well, no?

     

    On offense, I agree... I'd much rather be throwing all game - and Josh Allen is built to throw in the elements, but it hasn't translated...yet.  

     

    That being said, in a Playoff Game, if we need to run more, I think we see a lot more designed Allen runs than we have in the regular season.

    I'm not worried particularly about playing anyone other than KC. That said, I'd rather avoid Tennessee and Cleveland given the choice. Just don't love those matchups for us. Think we match up much better against Indy, Miami and Vegas. 

     

    Agreed.. but I am really impressed with how we just dominated the 49ers.... Niners being a team that relies on physicality, defense and the run game, like the Titans and Browns.
