Can Josh Allen continue to ascend? Yes, but his inaccuracy will prevent him from ever becoming elite. He'll be good, but not great. Is this the end for McCoy and Clay? McCoy has had his last 1,000 yard season. He may not even be the #1 next year. Look for the Bills to draft a young power runner. Which receivers will step up? None. Zay Jones will be an average NFL WR. Foster will be a #3 or #4. Is Levi Wallace a starting cornerback? No. We'll either spend big on a replacement or use a high pick on one. Is the offensive line salvageable? Dawkins is an average OT, but he's made no real progress since his rookie year. Teller might be a good one. We need 3 new starters at C, RT and RG. Miller might still be starting next year because we have so many other holes to fill. I'd still like to see us acquire a true LT and move Dawkins to RT.

I don't know. He had 4 catches, but was targeted 9 times. He made 3 great plays, but what about the others? Unfortunately, I'm overseas and won't be able to watch the games until I get back.

Until Dareus proves that he has that fire in the belly, there will be no return to B'Lo while McBeans is in charge. He'll play well next year so he can get a fat contract then go back into hibernation.

Schmidt was certainly not one of the better punters in the NFL and I understand the need to try to upgrade the position, but I can't help feeling for the guy. That said, I'm not sure Darr is an upgrade. I thought we might draft a punter in the 6th or 7th round last year, but maybe there wasn't anyone they liked well enough.

I like Josh a lot, but I'm not all in yet. I need to see a series of games with some solid accuracy -- especially on the short routes. I'm not saying he can't do it, but he's only been back for a week. These next 6 games will be very telling for him and I don't mean that he has to carry the team with this OL struggling and no premier WR's to throw to, but he has to look steady.

How do we know that wasn't the real reason that Richie was released and they agreed to let him retire on his terms while just n ot saying anything about the investigation? Maybe, since McDermott was clearly upset by the accusations, the Bills just decided that he was not a good fit. No one else signed Richie and he was still a probowl caliber guard.

You know, that doesn't sound as completely crazy as it might have a month or 2 ago. Shady for Bell straight up or something like that???

Darn it! There goes our back door to the playoffs LOL.

Marone hired him. This is his 3rd regime. I've never been very impressed with him. His record in the NFL before Buffalo (Detroit) was dismal too. I don't think they'll fire him before the end of the season, but he's definitely on the bubble. On a related note, Daboll has a very real opportunity to save his job if the offense continues to improve.

Hackett was a failure here and he fared no better in Jacksonville. Marone was a fool to rehire him. He was also a fool to agree to resign Bortles. Add the huge contract to one of the laziest players in the NFL in Dareus and we have a franchise headed in reverse. The real question is, will these moves save Marone's job? Will they have a new GM going forward or do they stand pat and hope for 2017 to happen again with a new QB under center? If they draft a new QB, they eat that big salary to Dareus whom they signed to win it all in 2018 and 2019 while the rookie develops. The owner has some difficult decisions to make after this season.

Does that "worse" supporting cast include the #2 defense in the NFL or are we not taking them into consideration?

I don't think +6 vs Miami is all that surprising. Josh still needs to put a complete game together. Having a running QB is OK until he gets hurt. He needs to put together a 65% completion rate game and show good accuracy short, medium and deep. He needs to be able to beat good teams with his passing game. Until he does that, we will not be highly regarded.

Oooooooooops!

Shhhhhh! Listen! Anybody hear J Ramsey shooting off his big mouth? Me neither.

Of course I would. Josh still has a very long way to go to get to where Mahomes is and there's no guarantee that he'll ever get there. Besides, Mahomes' natural accuracy is something Josh may never have.

I hope my grandchildren don't grow up to be like him. That's all I have to say about JRamsey.

Perhaps, but when healthy, he is above average. I think that if his health is going to be an ongoing concern, he could be gone. Still, we don't need to create more holes in this roster. We already have far too many.

Josh is not good at all right now. Maybe we can consider this question in a year or 2.

Meanwhile, the Sabres have won 6 straight games and moved up to 3rd in the division.

He's still not playing up to his potential. We can find better ways to spend the money next year. I know our OL will struggle to contain their DL and many will be whining about moving him, but we will come out ahead in the end.

I think this whole 'death of the defenses' thing is overblown. The rate of scoring in the NFL has actually made TD's seem a bit less exciting except for the Bills. They need to bring back the bump and run to save the game IMO. It's just not as fun to watch as it was when I was young. The challenge is gone with teams regularly scoring 40 and even 50 points in a single game. Yawn...

We will also need a couple players on defense, but surrounding Allen with talent is obviously our primary goal. I just don't know who we'll draft because the FA period will start before the draft and no one knows this early on who we'll be able to sign.

No.

Well, if he auditions like preseason Peterman, he'll have a new job. If he auditions like regular season Peterman, he'll be looking for a job in whatever he majored in and probably end up settling for far less like most recent college grads.

He'll be gone by the time we pick. we will 4 or 5 games this season and I believe the Jets and Raiders will pick ahead of us.
