I admit that this comes as a very pleasant surprise. I've been down on him all year, but this gives me hope.

Any QB that can barely complete half of the passes he throws will never throw for 4000 yards in a season.

They will try, but can they attract a true #1? Is a true #1 even going to be available? They'd have to mortgage the ranch to get Antonio Brown. I'm not sure I want that. If we had a QB with great accuracy, then maybe I'd go for that trade.

So why is none of this listed on the Bills website? Crossman should have been the first to go.

Better runner Worse passer

On D, I think we need an outside CB and a penetrating, pass rushing DT. Maybe Harry can step it up, but as of now, I don't see him as the answer for Kyle's departure.

I mostly agree, but I'm still very much playing wait and see with Edmunds and Allen. I think you're way overly optimistic there. They each had some great moments as rookies, but also had some terrible weaknesses. Allen completed less than 53% of his passes. That's just not going to be good enough. He needs to raise his completion % by 10% or he will soon be forgotten. Edmunds needs to learn how to stuff RB's without getting stuck on blocks and caught in the wash so easily. He needs better instincts. I hope they can both get it done in year 2, though. They're good kids and they are our future, rain or shine. That said, I like McDermott, but feel Bene needs to prove himself.

My take is that McDermott made some rookie mistakes that he did not repeat in year 2. Let's see how he does with more talent in year 3. It will be a challenge with so many new faces coming in. I still like him, his attitude and his willingness to take the heat for this season in cap hell. To me, Beane is the one that is more on the hot seat. Allen and Edmunds were spotty this year. Granted they are both rookies and did have their moments, but several LB's outperformed Edmunds in their rookie years and Allen's accuracy problems haven't gone away. I just hope those 2 guys can straighten out their game in year 2. This offseason will again be huge for Beane. I pray he is up to the task. A down year for several FA's and a weak draft class could be his undoing. He needs to rebound a bit.

What the heck is wrong with him anyways? Kid has gotten soft in the head.

I'd rather see him go to the Pats.

LT, DT or CB. I'd prefer taking the best OT, if their favorite one is still there. Edge rusher is my surprise pick here, but I doubt it. Even a WR or TE would be better.

1 year deal? OK. 1 less hole to fill and he's still playing fairly well.

We'll still sign some average FA's if they are an upgrade. Several positions on the OL and at WR and TE could be upgraded with just average talent. I wouldn't be surprised to see us sign as many as 5 new starters on offense with maybe 2 of them being significant upgrades and the rest, smaller upgrades.

Probably not, but I suspect they will be looking to fill the holes at OL, WR, TE, CB and DT first under the belief that they can still get decent production from Shady and Ivory. I suspect they might use a day 3 pick or bring in some UDFA's to compete there after filling those holes mentioned above. Of course, that all depends who shakes loose in FA. Would they pay Le'Veon Bell what he's asking? Would he even want to play here?

I was pleasantly surprised. After all, his job is not to penetrate and make plays, but to tie up blockers so the LB's behind him can make plays. In order to take full advantage of him, however, young T Edmunds must step up his run defense and tackling in year 2. He has a lot of work to do in that department, but he certainly has the physical tools. His football IQ, on the other hand, is lacking. Star is giving him every advantage.

And a big (maybe) injection of rookies that will need to get coached up while they are learning the playbook and possibly adding muscle mass. This will be a very important role for us.

Per NFL.com: PICK 9 Bills 2 Record: 6-10 (.523)Previous week: No. T-7Biggest needs: OL, WR, CB It wasn't always pretty, but the Bills went 4-3 in their final seven games, and two of the losses were by just four points. Reasons for optimism! Now, the offensive line and pass catchers for Josh Allen have to be much better, but with a good offseason, this squad could take a big step in 2019.

Well, they hung on to Bortles too. Perhaps their GM deserves some of the blame ass well. They signed Darius to overpay him as well. They are definitely not making good decisions down there.

He certainly played as well as Murphy and his attitude has improved considerably. I'd like to see him get another year to compete for the starting job at LDE with Murphy. I think Murphy was a mistake, but maybe it's just getting over his serious injury that held him back. I could see both of them playing better in 2019.

If he can do something (???) about his accuracy, he can be great, but what? I don't think he can live or die by his legs his whole career or he'll be spending a lot of time on IR.

Yes, but he can add a few pounds. It's not like he's far away from his best playing weight for the NFL. I'd love this pick.

Nice dream, but I need to see Allen completing at a 10% higher rate before I can even imagine this happening.

Members 326 Report post Posted 7 hours ago 1. Baker Mayfield 2. Lamar Jackson 3. Sam Darnold 4. Josh Allen 5. Josh Rosen In terms of long term potential, I can't see how a QB with a 52% can be judged as the one with the best long term potential. I know I'll get flamed for saying it, but the top 3 assets a successful NFL QB needs are accuracy, accuracy and accuracy. You can't teach it. You either wake up with it or you don't. Josh doesn't. He runs exceptionally well, but he can't live and die by that. His final pass efficiency rating was a 67. He might raise that a bit in year 2 with better awareness, but inaccuracy will be his undoing.

Allen and Edmunds will eventually cost Beane and McDermott their jobs.

I don't see that happening with Allen at QB. I think he is going to hold this team back.
