I agree 100%. I'm not a big fan of Allen's passing acumen or accuracy, but a big jump in his game would help a LOT.

No, but I agree with you. I also think the combination of Singletary and Moss will rock. I see Singletary as the #1, but that could change if he doesn't stop putting the ball on the carpet so often.

He's not worth it. Let him walk and draft or otherwise sign your next QB.

Villipiano was a jerk. The ONLY thing I remember about him was how hw trashed the city and disrespected the fans. All the rest of these responses are excellent. "Buffalo may not be the end of the world, but you can see it from here." -- Phill Villipiano

My 1st thought was "There's an accident waiting to happen." I'm just waiting for the 1st time one of those things gets in the way of a punt or pass. Maybe gets blown into some Bills fan's beer by the gusty winds in Orchard Park. Cue the drone jokes...

I'll go with Oliver or Edmunds on D. On O, I'll say Ford or Dawkins. I'd like to say Knox, but stone hands, like passing accuracy, are very difficult to fix. Kroft will be better if only because he's not as bad as some think. If he stays healthy, he'll be productive.

Ford desperately needs to be moved inside and Feliciano could very easily be replaced with someone better. Unfortunately, we have no real talent at RT. Nsekhe is a career backup for a reason. Williams is no longer any good and should be our backup at G unless Ford moves inside, in which case Feliciano becomes the backup at G/C and Williams fails to make the roster. Despite all the cap space, we ignored this huge liability and the left side of the OL is just average. Allen handles pressure poorly, so the OL will probably be the reason our offense will fail to live up to the lofty expectations of some.

I agree on Hughes, but he played hurt in 2019 so I'm not sure. I also think Brown and Beasley get fewer targets, but will still play at a high level. Diggs is another candidate. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he can duplicate what he did in Minnesota with better passers.

Stop making excuses for him. He had the lowest completion percentage of ALL QB's with more than 100 attempts and there wouldn't have been so many drops if he had better accuracy. Josh Allen leads the league in number of apologists. I've never seen any player whose fans simply dismiss his shortcomings without any objective consideration. He's not even an average QB. Maybe some day he will be, but not yet. Not by a long shot.

I want a game that focuses on better simulation than Madden. The computer does some incredibly dumb stuff in simulation mode. I also want to play as HC -- Call the plays, make substitutions and manage the clock. Let the computer handle all the joystick wiggling. Example -- Madden focuses on stupid bells and whistles while year after year the computer punting is still broken. I have a long list of things that never get fixed.

Reason #2: Chan is a very good OC and play caller. Just don't let him pick your QB or DC.

The only significant move was trading for Diggs unless Epenesa and/or Moss turn out to be great. We did nothing to improve an OL that still needs some serious upgrading. Other than Diggs, much of this talk amounts to counting your chickens before they hatch. I just hope they prove me wrong, but this looks like a roster full of mediocre players.

I don't see the Cowboys or Bills as candidates without better QB's. Mahomes will keep KC in contention for the Lombardi trophy for many years to come. We'll be sick about passing on him for a very long time.

Not to be too political, but the middle class has been slowly shrinking since I was young. I don't think this is a smart move.

Murph was very good. Not sure why some say otherwise. As far as leaving the show is concerned, maybe he just wants to have more free time. He's not getting any younger and I'd wager he's set for life. We'll see. If he takes another full time job, he was gently pushed. If he's spending more time fishing or skiing, it was his own choice.

I like 'em. I see that puts me in the minority here, but I prefer to think for myself than blindly follow the crowd. I like the new Chargers uniforms even more.

Relax. He made a stupid mistake. He's a kid. He'll learn (I hope). I hope his impending suspension is his wakeup call. I'll be so disappointed if he's the next Darius. I'll wager he's gonna have a very difficult conversation with McDermott in the near future. He was supposed to make a big jump in progress this year. Let's hope that process doesn't get derailed. Why do these guys have to drive around with guns anyways? Just to show off? He needs to grow up. 1st offense. McDermott is his biggest worry.

Trent Murphy is better than the other 2 at this point, but Addison is a better pass rusher. I can't say one way or another about Epenesa yet, so I'm assuming that TM and Addison are better until I see otherwise. I hope AJ turns out to be the steal of the draft. Yup. You can never have too many good roasters.

Reminds me of Kyle.

LMAO !!! I think he should learn to be at least average before we annoint him as a savior. 27th in passing efficiency among all QB's with at least 100 attempts. Even Fitz had better numbers. Honestly, I have never seen such unqualified love for any player in the last 60 years. This is insane.

Oh how I wish he played for us! I'd give them Allen and a 1st rounder plus another high pick without batting an eye. We'd immediately become early favorites to win it all. Heck, the Packers didn't even draft a single WR. They just threw the draft away IMO. I wonder if all this was Dino Hackett's idea. I'm so glad he and Marrone are gone.

LOL ... No guys. Well read is when you read Howard Zinn, not sports columnists. If you're reading so many sports columns, you need to get a life.

3 thoughts on the OP. 1. I like our RB situation a lot, but I don't know that our OL is strong enough to match your prediction. 2. I see no reason why both DS and ZM can't be effective anywhere on the field. I'm fine with either one in short or long yardage situations. 3. We were top 5 for most of last season, but much of that was scrambling yards by JA on called pass plays. I think you need to subtract those yards from the team total to get a true measure of our rushing attack. Conversely, "pop" passes should be considered rushing plays/yards.

I don't know that any rookies will start day 1, but I have a hunch that Horrible Harry will start eventually and be very solid. Epenesa may win a starting job soon enough too, but Trent Murrphy is not as bad as some think. He's just not much of a pass rusher. I don't think Addison will be a starter, but he'll get plenty of snaps. Our DE position is deep in talent, but lacks top-end talent. My biggest hope for the front 7 is that Oliver and Edmunds both take a very big step in 2020. I know Edmunds went to the probowl, but he's really not all that good yet. Hopefully this is a breakout year for him. At CB, I say someone has to beat out Wallace. Norman's performance level has been falling rapidly since 2017 and he's in his mid 30's. Gaines is injury prone and overrated in this forum. That will be an interesting battle to watch. Taron Johnson could also lose his job if he doesn't start stepping up his game too. At OLB, Klein is nothing special, but he's instinctive and plays smart. I don't see him getting a ton of snaps though. The right side of the OL is a real weak spot. Ford is another guy that concerns me. I really think he'd be much better of at G. Feliciano would be solid depth. Williams was great before he shredded his knee and he was terrible last year. I'm actually surprised they signed him. Nsekhe isn't really a starter either. I don't understand why the OL didn't get more attention with all the cap space we had. The left side of the OL is a little better than the right side, but we don't really have any OL that are anywhere close to elite. They're all pretty average. That's pretty true of the whole roster other than White, Hyde, Poyer and Diggs. Of course Allen is the biggest question mark. He needs to make hugh strides this year or we will need to at least find someone to compete for his job. If last year was his best, we won't be in the playoffs this year. Our schedule went from bottom 5 to top 5, so he really needs to be a MUCH better passer.

Neither.
