Sorry. Already a thread for this. Mods?

Take your best guess. Allen or Petermann?

Jace Amaro, Michael Floyd and Kevin Minter were cut. I haven't followed them much. Numerous G's and C's that I don't know were released as well. Anyone in that group sound like a potential Bill?

I don't see too much OL help coming, but let's hope I'm wrong, eh? LB depth would be more likely or just maybe a receiver...maybe???

My guess is that Beane isn't concerned about 'saving face'. If admitting a mistake means winning more games, that would save face far more than hanging onto a guy that isn't making it happen. People always accuse GM's of this when they couldn't possibly guess the GM's true motivation. Why do so many assume that NFL GM's are so petty?

Great response! I've never waivered in my support even in the darkest times. Many of you are too young to remeber so many years when Buffalo, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh and (later on) New Orleans vied for the top pick year after year. Remember when Harvey Johnson coached the Bills to back-to-back 1-13 seasons? Remember when Dan Darraugh or Ed Rutkowski were our starting QB's? Did you know that the Bills won only 43% of their games in their first 50 years. I've learned to roll with the punches and I still say we'll take a step backwards this year and 2 steps forward next year. Who knows? Maybe that proverbial light will come on for Allen and Edmunds early on, but I don't think it has just yet.

I feel the need to point out something that should be obvious, but still seems to confuse some. Acknowledging that the Bills are rebuilding and are still at least a year away from serious contention has nothing whatsoever to do with emotions. This conclusion is based on reason. It has nothing to do with love or hate. As far as the equally absurd notion that only homers are "good fans", I was a loyal Bills fan before they even played their first game. And for the record, I see brighter days ahead. LOL I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic. Also, if you don't like what your country does, don't leave. Instead, work for change. You can't know that someone is trying "just to be negative" unless you are a mind reader. Don't shoot the messenger just because you don't want to hear the message. Make a reasoned response instead.

Of all the position groups, OL is BY FAR the weakest both on our roster and league wide. We'll be lucky just to sign a depth guy there. I strongly disagree. There is a league wide shortage of OL talent. Many guys that are starters wouldn't have even made a roster 10 years ago. Just look at the OL's from last year for the Bengals, Colts and several others.

Only 7?

Because they are going to get pulverized behind that OL.

Petermann has had the best preseason by a mile, but unfortunately, against the other teams' 2's and 3's. I don't want Josh anywhere near the field until he and his OL are ready.

BPA if it's top 5, but hopefully that's our starting probowl LT for the next 15 years. Quality OL are almost impossible to get in FA, so the draft is the place to get them. It's much easier to find help at WR in FA than good OL starters. I expect a big shakeup on the OL.

I was thinking the same thing, but I will be a little surprised if he doesn't get another shot if he's healthy. I disagree, but you're right. That would be a surprise.

LOL 15-16 wins gets 2 votes! I think those are protest votes, eh?

It seems there's always a player or 2 that gets cut from the Bills roster before the regular season that was unexpected. Who is your surprise cut. More than 1? None? I think there won't be any big surprises. They would normally cut a couple guys on the OL after a disasterous preseason, but we have no replacements. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new OL or 2 after the cut downs, though. I also think a LB or 2 could be added for help with depth. I expect all 3 QB's to make the roster because they know that the risk of injury there is very high.

Well, he just scored a TD on the only good passing play of the game for our offense. I guess that's something.

I disagree, but who the heck knows with all these young players in key positions? Maybe the light will come on and Allen and Edmunds will be killin' it in November. Right now, they look pretty raw, though.

I think this is the best answer so far. Right on the money.

Hopefully QB. With the addition of a solid CB on the right side (Will it be Davis?) you could add the secondary to that list. Other than that, I agree. Others areas may get better as the season goes along such as LB or WR, but I don'[t expect a big jump anywhere in 2018.

He's nowhere near as bad as people seem to think. I'm not saying he should be a starter, but some people talk like he can't even play football because of that game and the blizzard bowl.

As a human being -- yes. As a football player -- no. What the bleep is up with this guy anyways? Why is he acting like such a fool in public? Doesn't he know that he's embarrassing himself?

Richie has mental health issues. He needs help coping with life. Football is not a concern for me right now. I'm not trying to be funny either. He really does need to seek professional help.

Their ground game is going to beat us in the regular season meeting too.

...with your eyes closed.

Not if they are smart and wait until Allen is ready and has something around him to work with. Also, we'll have a ton of cap space to work with after this season. Patience.
