As I watch KC, hard not to think Mahomes, McDuffie, Creed, Ariaza and Worthy all could be Bills. KC has drafted well and offensively their scheme is top knotch.

Beane has struggled thus far in his tenure with successfully drafting impactful WR’s. He’s mostly relied on addressing the position thru trades and FA. Outside of Coleman, he’s taking fliers on WR’s in the later rounds. I believe Davis, Shakir and Coleman are the only WR’s to make the roster under his tenure. I really don’t comprehend not finding Josh a young playmaker thru the draft in the early rounds. We need a legit playmaker to pair with Josh. Hoping that will be Coleman but not confident.

Hope I eat crow, but WR and S are my two biggest areas of concern going into the season.

With Shavers and Shorter being cut, I believe only Shakir, Gabe Davis and Coleman are the only WR’s drafted by the Bills under Beane’s tenure to make the roster.

But why release until you have somone? Wouldn’t you release one of them then?

I hope McDermott and Babich reenact the Rocky chasing chicken drill for our DL. They often generate a pass rush but struggle all too often to actually tackle the QB!

Would think Gore, Hamler, Isabella all go the PS. Maybe Andressen?

With the limited experience by the starters in the preseason it’s really hard to get a feel for what will be the team’s strengths and weaknesses as we start the regular season. Safety, WR and Bass reliability from long distance all still seem to be question marks. WR seems like its gonna be boom or bust. Still frustrates me how Beane hasn’t added true playmakers with Josh. Running game, OL, TE depth and CB should be strong. Obviously expect Josh to have to be Superman yet again this season. AZ should be a challenging opener with a scrambling Murray at QB.

This will be interesting to see how these two fourth round picks play out. Bills had their choice and went with a RB who is 4 years older and smaller. Their division rival used their pick 6 picks later on Allen. Hoping the Bills got it right. Candidly, I preferred Allen due to his age, size and college experience coming from a run oriented program like Wisconsin. Both have had solid preseasons thus far and look like they will be contributors. Thoughts on who will have the better career? Braelon Allen: 6ft 1in 235lbs 20 years old pick 134 by the NYJ Ray Davis: 5ft 8in 220lbs 24 years old pick 128 by the Bills

Mitch with a horrible decision, throw and interception!

My confidence on Cook converting a 3rd and short up the middle hovers around 25%

Come on Mitch! STRUGGLING with his reads!

Yep I’m good with getting the D starters off the field now!

Is Edwards “close” to begin practicing anytime soon?

Injuries suck. Hoping Matt makes a full recovery! With MM going down and injuries at Safety, it’s elevating my overall concerns. Not liking our depth at S, LB, RB or WR. Praying this team can stay healthy and get to the playoffs with all their weapons!

Happy to see him going to the NFC.

Meaning on 3rd or 4th and short I’m not that confident that our RB has the size and physicality to pick it up. It would be nice not to have to rely on Josh in those situations. Our current FB is more of a blocking TE.

Good: * No injuries against competition * TB FG kicking in unusual wind * McDermott challenges * Turnout by BillsMafia Bad: * Beat in the trenches on both sides * Zero push by the OL on running plays * MVS with a bad drop on an easy catch * Lack of discipline and penalties * Mitch widely inconsistent Overall, I still sense we need a big power back added for short yardage added to the RB group. I also hope Edwards heals up soon at Safety. Entire team seemed flat, unprepared and undisciplined. Also D getting off the field on 3rd and long continues to be a challenge. Thankfully it’s only preseason and everyone came away healthy.

Bears backups playing much better than Bills backups! Very few highlight plays by any Bills player today.

Nice catch and run by Davis!

Hamler looks like he’s got an extra gear in space.

Surprised VPG isn’t playing C instead of Anderson. Get him some reps.

Nope….just the backup scrambling, chucking it up hoping someone catches it. Thankfully the call was overturned.

It’s astonishing how often the D gives up 3rd and long conversions.

Bills have been pretty sloppy thus far in the first half. Regardless primary goal is to stay healthy.
