Great topic. The Athletic just had an article today with this exact question for every team. Dane Jackson was our most surprising cut as per them.

Curious to who everyone thinks will be the best player from the 2025 Draft Class THIS year. I’m def in on Deone Walker (though I was hyped on Landon Jackson when we drafted him). Walker not only looks like he belongs, but has shown some dominance in his role. Just give us one freaking stud in this class!!

Because he doesn’t have to. Cracks me up when people tell wealthy individuals how they should spend their money and what they’re doing right and wrong. 😂

Misleading Title. Please consider changing title to more appropriate and/or descriptive title such as “Bad Night/Really Bad Night - Pre-season Game 2”

I get this, but it’s like saying “I’m just going to stay home and listen to this bands music on the radio in the comfort of my own home instead of going to their concert”. (And maybe you don’t like going to concerts - that’s cool. To each their own). It’s the entire experience people are after. It’s not the same.

Our man is having a camp! https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2025/08/09/kaiir-elam-cowboys-training-camp-star-bills-trade/85585752007/

It appears there were three camps: 1. Make him play his last year under contract. Let him walk. Plug in a new RB as they are easily and cheaply obtained. 2. $15M/year is way too much. If they come up with a reasonable deal, let’s do it. Cook is a difference maker. 3. Pay the man. Give him the $15M and make him happy, he’s worth it. I believe a very large percentage of Bills fans fall into camp #2. That’s where I fall and I’m happy with the deal they signed him to. It’s all the people in Camp #1 grumbling at the moment. Go Bills!

Not arguing with you, but just saying that Cook has bad hands is not it. He’s pretty good at catching the ball. I’ll agree he has had some bad drops in inopportune moments, but he’s not what you’re trying to portray him as. You’re wrong.

Not sure how reliable Stat Muse is, but here are career Pass Catch %’s: Saquan Barkley 73% James Cook: 78% Christian McCafferey: 80%

The average number of sacks for an NFL team during the regular season is generally between 40 and 50. A good sack rate is typically around or below 5%, while the league average is between 5% and 7%, according to a YouTube video from The Friendly Statistician.

Agreed. Just like Allen in his first year.

Thanks for sharing!!!!! Simply and awesome story and an even more amazing experience!

Sorry, my bad, I was being sarcastic. Agree with everything you state above. It would be crazy to think we aren’t a better team this year than last.

Assuming our 2024 draft class is a complete wash and they don’t take a step forward as well as Kincaid not progressing from his 2024 injury, and absolutely none of our rookies contributing….I think the Philly fan is correct.

Yes - Keep on the “tax the rich” and lets just become as socialist or communist country. Not the answer.

This is great perspective. He has a lower snap count than other “#1” backs simply because we have better pass catching RB’s on the roster as well as better pass blocking RB’s on the roster, and maybe even better goal line backs.

So, 2nd Rd pick, 2nd year with team - 800yds 6 TD’s??? Is that good? Whats your metric on Coleman since a lot of you have written him off?

I agree, but having said this - with their production last year, we’d be in the SB if we had a defense.

Shakir is easily #1. He put up BIG numbers the first year he stepped on the field for the Bills.

I think this is THE most concise summary of why we haven’t won a SB with Allen. Thanks

I agree with all of this. So I’d assume you were good with the D draft? The fact we have a top 5 RB doesn’t hurt. He’s no Barkley, but good enough?

So who’s covering him - Benford or Hairston?

Also - Jalen Hurts had less than 3,000 passing yards in 2024. How do we make sense of that?

I consider you a super knowledgeable poster. Maybe we’ve had a poll before on this, but i would value your opinion. In ranking what’s holding us back from a SB, is it: Coaching Defense Offense in playoff games OR has it been more specific: special teams Wide Receivers Defensive Line Secondary (Some people pointed to the running game in the past - pre-cook?) My take is that our scouting dept is good, but not great. We get some really good players, but if we had a few rookies drafted (including players now on their 2nd or 3rd year), that stepped up to be absolute studs, we could win it all. Such a jigsaw puzzle.
