We have two RBs who can get the job done, our problem running the ball has been 1) play calling/desire to actually establish a run game (because why would we when we are a pass first offense) and 2) the line arent great run blockers, better in pass pro.
The call for new/more RBs needs to stop IMO
My only counterpoint for Najee Harris is that he is an elite pass catching RB. Pretty much the perfect fit for us. Think a bigger Alvin Kamara.

I could be talked into Najee/Etienne, but I really don't like it.
If we can upgrade OL/TE with our 1st & 2nd Round Picks, that may help the running game just as much, maybe more, than a top end RB.
My issue is in roster construction and using a high pick on a guy that we don't seem philosophically willing to pay on a second contract doesn't seem to make much sense. Najee would essentially be a 4-5 year rental, when a OL/TE/EDGE/CB could be a guy that plays with Josh most of his career.
Out the other side of my mouth though.... having Najee for 4-5 years would be pretty nasty, and then we could let him go and do it again.

You should listen to practically every other credible football person and they'll say Allen has been great all season and excellent in the playoffs. Why harp on one comment, which wasn't even negative.
And who cares anyway?
I think most of us are just annoyed at the false narratives. It's one thing to have clown takes for clicks like Nick Wright, Skip Bayless etc., but leading up to the Ravens game, the narrative was that they were going to run all over us and Lamar would dance on our corpses because of how poorly our defense played against Indy.
Our defense then dominates Baltimore and all of a sudden we have talking heads saying they are responsible for BOTH our playoff wins in an effort to slight Josh Allen during a conversation on whether he's a superstar yet..
Josh Allen literally won Player of the Week for Wild Card Weekend... How that's lost on people who follow the NFL for a living is beyond me... or maybe it just pays more to give hot takes. ::shrugs::

Through two weeks of the playoffs Josh is 49/72 (68%) for 530 yards, 3 TDs and no INTs. He also has 54 yards rushing and a TD. Mistake-free football against VERY good defenses who know the Bills don’t/can’t run the ball. He’s a superstar no matter what any talking head says.
In the context they were discussing, I actually agree with them. They are talking nationally, amongst the casuals.
I just find it wild how people who follow Football for a living are always so reactionary. Agreed... the Ravens game was all credit to our Defense, but absolutely no one was singing their praises after Wild Card Weekend, and Josh Allen literally won Player of the Week honors for carrying us past the Colts.

Such prisoners of the moment...
Pete Schrager (and we love them) on GMFB on whether Josh Allen is a superstar...
”He needs to beat KC and be the Josh Allen was saw all year. They’ve been winning games, but this postseason seems like they’re Leslie Frazier led wins.” (Paraphrasing)
Excuse me!? Josh Allen won Player of the Week in the WC Round and literally carried us past the Colts.
In the context of superstar, where Middle America knows who Josh Allen is, I do agree he needs to beat KC and have two weeks of him on posters across the country, but the Leslie Frazier led win piece just shows how these guys, (even the ones we like), solely focus on week to week narratives.

I think it’s telling that if you check out what Texans fans are saying... they’re kind of split. Seems like more and more of their fans are fine trading him.
-
They mentioned on OBL that Singletary went out late in the game and speculated that it was his hamstring.
Haven’t heard anything beyond that.

It depends what you watch..
NFL Network gives us a TON of coverage/love.
ESPN gives us love on their actual NFL shows, but the mindless debate shows.. not so much. Same for FS1 with Skip Bayless and Nick Wright.

True. Let's not forget the big guys like Williams and Mongo.
This is the best pass protecting O line in the NFL.
Keep them together at all costs.
Elite QB + Elite pass blocking OL + Elite WR Room = Super Bowl Contenders year in/year out.
Make it work at RB/TE and scheme up the Defense around a handful of cornerstone players.

When you are coaching an elite Quarterback and therefore running a top offense your window is wider.
Yup - If Daboll is turning down HC jobs, he's clearly not worried about a regression.

With the chargers thing, I wonder if he tries to go scorched earth on the chiefs. he might want to show them what they are missing vs the best team in their division.
I'd hope he wants to go scorched earth every week, but the ingredients are certainly there..
Revenge game. He knows we likely need to put up a lot of points. Played a top 10 defense WC Round, then a Top 5 defense in the Divisional Round, now the Chiefs Defense.. one of these things are not like the other.

Great news!
If Daboll's endgame is HC, I'm glad he's waiting for the right opportunity and not just jumping at the chance anywhere.
Also, the longer Daboll is here, the more this becomes "Josh Allen's Offense". We already know the plays are what he wants to run and that he has control of changing calls/protection at the line. The more time Daboll is with Josh, as Josh gains experience, the easier the transition to a new OC will be.

Buffalo Bills:
Develop an elite passer in Josh Allen.
Build a top of the line pass blocking OL. (as a result, the run game can suffer - most lineman aren't great at both)
Invest draft capital and cap space into a top end WR room.
Can't invest heavy everywhere so we rely on 3rd Round Picks at RB1, RB2 & TE.
Baltimore Ravens:
Build around an elite athlete at QB who is limited in the passing game.
Build a dominant run blocking OL. (as a result the pass pro suffers)
Invest heavily at the TE/RB position.
Spend a 1st on a speed WR (so that teams can't sell out on the run as much) and then fill in with JAG's.
Both teams will have to pay their QB's. You can't invest everywhere AND have the Defensive talent Buffalo, and especially Baltimore, have.
Ravens fans/Sports media can claim Lamar needs better pass blockers on the OL and a stud WR1, but that would mean revamping the Offense and a massive re-allocation of asset spending.

A great QB will elevate wide receivers who would otherwise seem good or above average.
THIS
Diggs is elite. Did people consider him elite in Minnesota... talk of him being THE best WR in the NFL?
Nah, not with Cousins and whoever else, they didn't. Through no fault of his own, he was held down by the scheme and QB play.
Give Diggs all the love in the world, because he deserves it, but those with an agenda love to act like he made Josh Allen into what he's become. They helped make each other into what they are. There's a reason why every team playing for a Conference Championship has an elite QB and an elite WR1. Exception being Tampa Bay who doesn't have an elite WR1, instead they just have 3 normal WR1's.

Gabriel Davis has to make that catch. He's good, but not great (yet), and that's ok... but in fairness to the Duke Williams portion of the fanbase, we killed Duke for not making a somewhat tough TD catch in the Texans game last year. Of course, that's where the comparison ends... Davis has a bright future and has played really well as rookie WR.
The FG was fine given how the Ravens game played out, but we need TD's against KC.

The Browns seemed to, somewhat, contain that Chiefs Offense after they jumped out on them early and before Mahomes went out.
The biggest play of the game was Higgins fumbling out of the end zone. That was a killer, and credit to the Browns for not having their will broken after that.

Teller is where he should be. He's an elite run blocker and meh pass blocker.
We pass 80% of the time.
-
Mahomes is playing. I'm not reporting any news, but I think we all know that he will be cleared.
The injury to watch is Mahomes foot. He kills teams with his ability to prance for first downs.

Maybe but the SB was played at the Meadow lands not to long ago . Long before any teams had domes the game was played the way it was meant to be played out side in the elements so we will agree to disagree but its all good .
In todays NFL it's more about the spectacle that is the super bowl and generating as much money as possible the game is a smaller part of the actual equation than the over all experience . I would expect you being from ATL and building 2 dome stadiums in 20- yrs to have a different out look too .
But it would be a totally different NFL if there were no Lambo field no Bills Stadium no Cleveland Stadium no Baltimore Stadium sure every thing would be exactly the same for every team which some would love but I love the Bills experience every time i go to a home game !
I quit watching Nascar for that exact reason it use to be ford against Chevy, Buick , Olds, Plymouth, Dodge, now its every single car has to be exactly the same no one really has any advantage IMHO very blah .
The Super Bowl i can agree with you though it should be the 2 best teams and the weather shouldn't be a factor but man i don't want the NBA experience i want the NFL experience with all it's differences it makes each team individual in its own right .
Be safe enjoy the games ...
Yea, i'm from NY but have lived down south for 10 years now. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is awesome. Josh Allen would shatter records playing in a place like that.
That said - I completely understand the sentiment you have. No Lambeau, no Brady snow games in Foxboro...like it or not, that stuff is legend.
If we were a ground and pound team, I might even have a different outlook.. but we are a high flying pass heavy team and spending every home game watching wind forecasts is becoming incredibly frustrating.
That said, with McDermott being a defensive beast of a HC, if Allen learns to throw in the wind... well then, MASSIVE home field advantage.

He apparently has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he can demand a trade and still veto any he doesn't like.
Ok then ha... well, apparently Deshaun Watson has full control. If that's the case, if i'm their GM/Ownership, i'm just asking him who he wants us to hire and then doing it.
You can't lose a Top 5 QB and not get back the best haul possible. I say that second part because only the Texans seem capable of trading a young top 5 QB.

The Fins can still afford to upgrade the receiving corps even if they sign Watson. They are in very good cap shape, young team not paying a bunch of people.
You're probably right. When would Watson's cap hit start really affecting them?
Neither the Dolphins or Jets seem like a place a WR would want to go without them overpaying, but with Watson in the mix, i'm sure they, Dolphins especially, would become the premier FA WR landing spot.
Thankfully, IF Robinson, Juju or Godwin shake free, I don't believe any of them are elite WR's...and only A-Rob is a true #1.
-
He played very well against the Ravens.
If the salary cap isn't disgusting this off season and we can re-sign everyone we want, then who really cares about his potential roll over cap savings.
We can't make mistakes on guys like that with the Josh Allen contract coming up, but right now, the FO has had that wiggle room.
-
Watson hasn't demanded a trade, and I wonder if he would, knowing the Texans best offer could potentially come from the Jets.
I get why he would want to go to Miami. Good coach, good defense, and the offense is ok - probably won't get much better with the draft capital and cap space needed for Watson, but he can certainly make them a playoff team.
However, the Jets can beat the Dolphins best offer and if they do, he goes to a team more talent deprived than Houston. They can probably get him FA WR if one shakes free (Robinson, JuJu, Godwin etc) but with the draft picks they would have to give up, the team we saw this past year will be the same team Watson joins with the addition of CJ Moseley (whatever he is at this point) and a potential big splash at WR.

Not to come to Kurt Warner’s defense but if you watched the whole segment he said the games be played in a dome so you could see the best teams advance. Then he immediately goes into the highlights of how the weather was going to effect this game and how it was supposed to favor the Ravens run game but Buffalo’s defense basically dominated them. So I’m the end of the segment one could surmise that it was a compliment towards Buffalo.
I think fans on this board are too quick to be offended. I actually read the comment on this message board and thought we got thrown under the bus. Then I watched it live and realized that people will interpret things however they want.
Ah ok, I was reacting to the synopsis and, admittedly, hadn't seen the clip.
That said... I do agree that football should be played indoors in the north. I know that's blasphemy to some on here, but there's a reason Super Bowls are played inside or in the south.

Mahomes passed all tests last night, appears to be pinched nerve, not a concussion

The only thing I am more confident in than Mahomes playing on Sunday is the NFL not delaying the game if he can't.
