If we added probowlers at OT, WR, Edge Rusher and CB, I think we's have something special. This assumes continued improvement by Allen. I'm also taking into account the vast improvement at DT with both Phillips' playing lights out in 2019. Real shame about Harry. He was ready to take over the starting job too. And what the @#%$ are they feeding Jordan? I need some of that.

Daboll is good, but he relies too much on Allen's arm. I'd like to see us run more. I'd especially like to see Singletary get more carries to see if he can be a #1 RB or if we need to continue to upgrade that position. B-

I'd like to see us add a probowl caliber LT so we can move Dawkins to RT and kick Ford to G. Our OL is better, but still just average. Forget the absurd arguments about needing or not needing an elite #1 WR. We need a guy that can keep DC's awake at night there. Brown has been a pleasant surprise, but more is needed at WR/TE. I've lost confidence in Trent Murphy. He's a very average DE and can easily be replaced. An elite edge rusher would make a noticeable difference. The other position that I think needs a true #1 is outside CB. Wallace is good, but inconsistent. White is better, but not a shutdown corner. Let Wallace compete for slot CB since T Johnson can't stay healthy. That would give us perhaps the best defense in the NFL.

Josh is playing better of late, but I think his ceiling will be just an average passer with exceptional mobillty. Overall, that makes him above average. If we ever win a SB with him at QB, we'll need a legendary defense and an unstoppable ground game.

I agree with all of your points, Virgil. I would add 1 more. I think we get too conservative at the end of games. I realize they are concerned about all the turnovers that Josh Allen has, though he has been getting better. That last 3rd down should have been a pass. I mean, if it's not wide open, then fine. Throw it away. Don't try to squeeze it in when protecting a slim lead with less than 5 minutes to go. Still, we nearly always get stuffed into a 3 and out when we do that and it hurts us. Luckily it hasn't cost us a game to this point.

As a game manager, he is still learning, but he has gotten better. As a leader he stands head and shoulders above any HC we have had in a long time. The players talk like they are ready to stand at the gates of hell and fight for him.

He could have that game next week or never. Nobody knows, but you are correct. He needs to reach that level if we are going to win the SB and let's get real. Winning the SB is what it's all about. It seems some folks have forgotten that.

C- I'm just hoping this isn't his high point and he'll still get a lot better, but there is no guarantee that will happen. Some guys just never see the field, read defenses, etc that well. Others QB's survive by their awareness and instincts. I hope Josh will continue to improve. If not, they need to cut bait and try again.

Why would anyone want to shorten NFL games? Baseball teams play 10 times as many games and basketball and hockey teams play nearly 100. We get just 16 games a year. That's less than a tenth of the baseball games and you want to cut down our game time even more? I don't get that at all. Also, I couldn't care less about other games. My interest in the NFL begins and ends with the Bills.

I'll be happy if he gets a sack. He hasn't lived up to expectations and hasn't sacked anyone yet, so I don't know why anyone would expect him to suddenly play like he's all pro. I think Singletary is going to be our best pick from the last draft.

Shaq can very easily be replaced. Even now when he's supposed to be playing better, he can't even beat out Murphy for a starting job. I'd rather see us draft or sign a replacement.

I see about a dozen impending FA's I'd like to keep and about half as many I'd like even more from my short list. The rest can easily be replaced. Lorenzo and Gore maybe. Who knows if they will stay, go or retire? They're definitely playing well right now though

Many Bills fans just aren't very realistic about Josh Allen. What were you expecting? He turned the ball over 4 times in just 1 half (1 less than Peterman vs Chargers). He threw 3 picks vs the Pats and has been consistently missing on the deep ball by a mile. 5 fumbles and 7 picks in just 5 games too! Yet somehow he's a superstar? He's improved a bit in some areas and could eventually be very good, but he has a really long way to go and there are no guarantees that he will get any better than he is now.

No problem at all. I don't think a player's politics should be a deciding factor here. He has hurt no one. Same for all Tebow detractors as well. OK, so Tebow sucked, but who cares about his religion anyways? That's his personal business. As far as Colin is concerned, good on him for helping to bring attention to a problem that needs more attention, but again, it shouldn't matter either way. The owners only care about money, so they will never sign him because they are afraid.

He has been our best player on offense thus far. I hope he heals up quickly. We are still a bit thin at WR, IMO.

Personally, I think our HC has some weaknesses in his game management skills, but he has gotten better. As a leader, however, I think he has been excellent. He's got these players ready to run through walls for him. How would you grade him overall as a HC?

Let's just take a dose of reality here. Josh is playin better, but he's still had several fumbles and 6 picks in 5 games. The D has played well to this point, but the offense needs to continue improving. 11-18 is the combined W/L record of our opponents. We lost to the only team we've played that has a winning record and none of the others have won more than 2 games so far. We are definitely playing better, but we still have an awful lot to prove -- especially Josh. If we can go 4-2, we'll be 8-3 heading into Dec. I'd be thrilled with that even with our super easy schedule.

We need elite talent added to this roster at a 'reasonable' price. The best way to do that is to draft well and pay the rookie contract rate for 5 years. IMO, we do very well to add a top 10 talent at OT, CB, DE and WR.

Can we please start putting the title of the thread at the top of the OP so we know what the poster was saying instead of the nonsense that the mods put there? I mean, thanks for telling me that you think something in the title is vague, but I can discern that for myself, thanks. Besides, it's just not that important.

Thanks for trying, anyway OP.

I hope they are right, but I'll be very surprised. There is still a way to go and we do have an easy schedule, but there's no easy schedule in the playoffs. I suspect this team is playing a little over their talent level right now and will come back down a bit by the end of the season as other good teams like the Chargers get their act together and start playing up to their level. I still think we can make the playoffs, though -- Maybe even win a playoff game.

4-2 is choking?

Are you serious? If you are so offended by people with 250 posts or less making a thread, you could stop reading them and at least stop wasting other peoples' time whining about it. That said, I have no idea how good Ford will be in a couple years. Some guys just pick the game up faster than others. When he was moved to RG, he actually played very well there. I wouldn't mind if we drafted a new starting LT, moved Dawkins to RT and moved Ford to RG permanently (unless there is an emergency). Still, I think a longer audition at RT is wise.

It's hard to say. We really don't have that much talent on defense and somehow we still get it done. We have a bunch of pretty good players on D and several more average guys as well. I think the coaching and play calling must get the lion's share of the credit. In any case, I just hope they can keep it up all season.

Punt doesn't get blocked and returned for a TD. Bills win 10-9. Oh wait. They missed the PAT. My bad. Well, we would have won in OT then, right?
