Agree. If Dareus doesn't play significant time after the bye I really question McDermott. If Glenn and Dareus are healthy after the bye, they both should be in the starting line up. It's not like these guys are average players.

This is why the Bills continue to chase their own tails. Last year Glenn and Miller were solid. But now their not starting material. So let's cut them and draft their replacements. Just running in place. And don't let facts get in the way. Last year one of the top running teams and this year near the bottom. No wonder we have below average WR's and no depth at TE. We either don't resign them or cut them only to see them be successful next year. So frustrating!

I agree as well. IMO, today was a prime example of the Bills doing what they have done in the past. They failed to do anything to upgrade the roster and instead just roll out whoever. The lack of WR talent on this roster is embarrassing and outside of Clay the TE talent is below average as well. Sure the Defense has improved but the offense has gone backwards. Sitting Glenn, having Miller non active and starting Ducasse are major head scratchers against a good Bengal DL. Is it really surprising the run game struggled yet again. This was a very winnable game and could of been a huge step forward. They would of had a two game lead in the division. My gut still tells me Beane and McDermott really aren't all in this year. If they win great but I really don't think that is the core objective this season. Hope I'm wrong but this game reminded me too much of the past.

That's just stupid that he's not even active. Ducasse should be released not starting.

That's where I'm torn, if we have a strong season, then my gut tells me to use the majority of the picks strengthning the roster. I.E....WR, OLB, TE, DT, RB and then in the future go all in for the QB as a best case scenario. If we get it right thru the draft in 2018, you're in great position to give up a first to get your guy in 2019 if needed.

Agree, I knew I probably missed a few. My point was some teams may reload with another stud QB for years to come while we continue to spin with average QB play based upon a winning season in what is deemed as a QB rich draft unless you give up the farm and then some to move up.

What an exciting start out of the gate! However, if the Bills go 10-6 or 11-5, that puts them in a difficult position. Even with a stock of draft picks, there will be numerous teams ahead of us looking for a QB. Obviously the past 17 years has been frustrating but do you have any concerns if we make the playoffs how that could impact us long term at the QB position? At this point, you could list the following teams finishing with worse record looking for a QB: Cleveland, Jets, AZ, San Fran, Miami, San Diego, Jax, Vikings and New Orleans

Agree about releasing Williams. Trying to understand the value add T Jones brings over what JW brought. Partially get the Watkins decision. However, my gut tells me McDermott and Beane didn't expect the team to gel this quickly and the defense to rise up. I fully believe they were planning for the future, stock piling picks while reducing cap space. Making the playoffs this year would be amazing but I don't want it to be a one year wonder while impacting long term success. Our WR and LB core need huge upgrades. Unless Dareus steps up you need two DT's. Enjoying the success but it's a long season. Getting to 4-1 will be huge going into the bye week.

I want the playoff drought to end this year. If they get to 4-1 at the bye 10-6 seems realistic. Cautiously optimistic but with tempered expectations. Key injury to Shady, Clay or TT changes the outlook quickly. If they can stay healthy, I like our chances. However, the Bills still need to get a long term QB IMO. From that regard having KC and us making the playoffs creates some drafting challenges for moving up.

Reiterates what a cluster the last two years on defense were. Wonder what Rex thinks now?

Great win! After 17 years will take them anyway we can. Nice to see Bills learning how to win close games. Will be nice to have a healthy Dareus, Shaq, Gaines and Glenn back after the bye week. Getting to 4-1 would be great. Gotta take care of business at Cinncy. Worried about the injuries to Humber and Matthews. A+ for the 1st quarter of the season but gotta follow it up for 3 more quarters!!!! Also looks like Maclin made a bad choice going to the Ravens. Would of fit great in Buffalo!

While ATL is 3-0, they almost lost to the Bears in week 1. Bears had four cracks on first and goal to win the game. Detroit was within inches. ATL could very well be 1-2. If the Bills can run the ball and move the chains with points, ATL is beatable.

I see this season playing out like previous ones. Somewhere between 7-9 to 9-7. Whatever happens this year we have to get a franchise QB. If we have the luxury of letting him sit one year behind TT that would be great. Our two picks in the top five we're Sammy and Dareus. Gonna need a WR, RT and RB as well.

Never understand why we bash our players so much thru the years. Gilmore, Watkins, Lynch, Byrd and the list goes on and on. Having a healthy Dareus in this line up only makes it better. The guy is a stud when healthy.

Such a huge difference on D this year compared to the dyfunction of last year. Add another OLB and the D should be solid. Kudos to Leslie Frazier. Kicking game outstanding. Still not sure about the offense. Gotta think Bills go QB, WR, RT in the draft. Big win!

Add Cinncy to the list who will be looking for a QB that should finish worse than us. Jets, AZ, ,Cinncy, Jags, Denver, San Fran, Redskins are all teams we will be fighting against to potentially move up.

I quite reading anything Jerry had to say almost two years ago. That guy brings zero value to the table. The Bills could win the Super Bowl and he would complain it only took them seventeen years or rewrite how they should of won in the 90's. The guy is negative energy and needs to find a new gig!

Nice write up with the exception of when you need insurance you call State Farm not Geico

I'm torn. I want the Bills to make the playoffs but conflicted that in the long run they still don't get a potential franchise QB if they have a solid season. Jets, Denver, AZ, Cinncy, Jags, SF and even Miami and Minny could draft a QB in the first. We could end up with a better record than all of them this season. QB, RT, OLB and another WR and we look in great position for continued success.
