  1. This logic is basically assuming everything goes right and the old addition by subtraction holds true (which I am not a fan of because that means you have incompetent coaches making bad choices). If the Bills are not a team that on paper took a step back then I dont know what team in the league did. We lost multiple starters and all have not been replaced with a better player. That by itself would suggest a step back. It would be better to argue it is only a small step back, but to say it was a step forward? The biggest flaws in being better are: OL - We moved our G to C and a backup G to the starting G. I dont see how that is an upgrade. The hope is this reshuffle works out. But it could be very likely that McG is worse at C than Morse and Edwards is worse at G than McG so you have two positions worse off. Edge - Floyd being gone is not an upgrade. The hope is Von is better so we dont miss Floyd as much. But based on what we saw from Von last year that is not even close to a guarantee. WR - Davis has not been replaced. Even if we do draft his replacement there is hope a rookie is better but its hard to say. Samuel is an upgrade over Harty. Hoskins and Sherfield are a wash. So the hope is really a rookie can step in to Davis role. S - Hyde and Poyer played nearly every snap. Its way too easy to just say no big deal. Rapp was here last year and was not an upgrade last year. Edwards is serviceable. The hope is we dont see a big fall off, not that we upgraded the position. The other moves have not been as impactful. But I dont see how any position group could be viewed as an upgrade at this point. Again, its basically the flawed logic of this guy who we all used to say was good is now not good so no matter who replaces them is better. Not the end of the world. The hope is we hit on some draft picks and like we have seen with KC have some early season growing pains but see contributions from the new guys down the stretch.
  2. I heard he has the clap and that is why sd didnt want him
  3. I think stats can be confused with opportunity. I am not saying this is the case with Kincaid but you cant ignore how many of his catches were easy dump-offs that 99.9 % of NFL guys catch. At the end of the year we finally saw more, but for the majority of the season it was very limited. I would argue you can take any NFL talent and they would put up 800+ yard receiving season if given the chance. There are so many plays a D is just willing to give up the 5 yard pass or the D focused on better players so the 3-4 option guys are gonna be open a ton. The difference is some guys are playmakers that can make something special happen out of a 5 yard play. So every time you go to the 5 yard guy, your losing the chance that the better player does something special. So getting Joe Schmo an 800 yard season and Justin Jefferson only 1000 could be viewed as a failure not a look how great a year Joe Schmo had, that OC must be great. Again, not saying Kincaid is in that bucket. But the O stalled quite a bit during the stretch we played the throw to Kincaid for 2 yards and watch him be tackled. I would have preferred I'm stretching the field and opening things up for Diggs.
  4. His numbers did benefit from Knox missing a lot of time.
  5. WR2 - No starter S - Rapp and Edwards are both possible. But expect a starter to be added C/G - Would not be shocked if something happens here. We see it every year an expected starter on the OL changes. CB - Possible change. Benford or Elam may not win job.
  6. No saying or even considering anything bad about Allen. If he ever leaves you are then allowed to say it’s because he was not dedicated to winning.
  7. He was at LSU one year and did not even run the show there. He was CAR for less than two years. People talk about the 4 1000 yard guys his first year but ignore that he got fired year 2 and only had 1 guy above 800 yards. So we dont know what we will get. I would love something closer to the LSU results than the CAR results is all I know.
  8. Who knows. But they have improved on paper and were 7-10 last year with Zach Wilson, Trevor Siemian and Tim Boyle. Does a improved roster and full season of Rodgers get them from 7 wins to 11 or 12? Not out of the question.
  9. A lot of people probably say the same about us. We have Josh Allen playing like an alien and cannot find him weapons in find ways to choke in the playoffs. Spend a ton of money on D and have a head coach that is supposed to be a D genius but chokes in the playoffs and cant stop anyone. Not to mention the weird and crazy ways we have lost games because of bad decisions.
  10. Easy to laugh at Jets but if they stay healthy they may contend. Rodgers has had a lot of rest so could come back and have a good year. He has a solid OL now with Hall at RB and Wilson and Williams at WR. They draft Bowers or see what WR is available. That is a solid O.
  11. What is funny is 4 of the 5 came when he was not starting and played less snaps. Once his snap count went up the sack numbers came down - only one once he started playing.
  12. Dollar bills ya'll Yes he was. And was a big proponent of the awful Toronto games...
  13. Just a few free agents to watch for Bills if you can get a cheap 1 year deal. May be a summer signing. S - Simmons, Q Diggs, Blackmon, Fuller, J Adams WR - M Williams, Boyd, M Thomas, OBJ, Renfrow, A Robinson, Chark, MVS, Reynolds, Claypool, Jefferson, Osborn CB - Nelson, Howard, A Jackson, Gilmore, T White, Wallace DL - C Young, Clowney, Tart, Ogbah, Lawson, Gregory, Baker, Okwara, RB - Dobbins, Mattison, Elliottt, CEH, Harris, Akers, Murray,
  14. That is not doing Beasley justice. Beas had a better career pre Buffalo than Samuel. But I get what your saying - different players and different skillset. Samuel is more flexible and versatile than Beasley. Beasley was a better pure slot but Samuel adds more trickery, running out of the backfield, etc. If Hopkins is a Bill in that playoff game vs KC the Bills win. No doubt.
  15. It is okay if Samuel plays a Beasley type role for the Bills. I know many want to turn him into this #2 threat that is an upgrade over Davis and game changer. But that is not likely what this move is. Unless he breaks out after 7 years in the league and completely changes his game. Hey, that could happen I guess.
  16. People need to throw out 2021. Didn’t really play.
  17. He was a rb / wr combo. Actually more of an rb coming out of Ohio state. He has been successful converting to a wr in the nfl but is not what many on this board want to say he is. People think because he is fast that he must be a deep threat. No. Doesn’t mean he is not a good player just not that. And it’s not because how he was used but it was to focus on what he does well.
  18. Kc wont even give the bills 24 hours
  19. Have you looked up Samuel’s longest reception each year? His avg reception. Big play threat? Really?
  20. Well his career thus far supports it. He has thrived as a slot not an outside guy.
  21. I look at this as an upgrade over Harty. We know need our 1st round pick to upgrade Davis.
  22. Yeah we can just talk about needing a wr for the next 5-10 years and then Draft one after Josh is done.
