And this is a big reason in why I see us being actually more even in how the Bills Offense can attack defenses.

Agree.
Hot take: Daboll was comfortable running Josh to help his (Daboll's) career. Pegs/Beane want a 10+ year career out of Josh so less running and leaping. Nothing against Josh exploiting the obvious gaping holes.
Agreed - and it was his own fault there was also a lack of run game.
Also think Daboll was limited in his ability to install a good run game and blocking scheme, and I believe he kept Bobby Johnson around though the O-line overall was not performing up to standards.
Dorsey will have the advantage of having Kromer as his O-Line coach and I believe it will pay significant dividends

My two cents...
I know it falls on Beane ultimately, but there was major input from the O-Line coach at the time, scouts, etc. Now do I think Kromer recommends drafting cement feet with short arms, no, I think he wants someone more athletic.
It is the whole trust your staff to help you make the best decision.

As someone that lost his younger brother last year at the age of 35 yrs old. My heart aches for the Knox family.
Their faith and family will help them get through this time of mourning and grief and I can only hope they have some sense of closure when the time is right.

Josh Allen... Because straight from a value standpoint, the attention he has brought back to the bills organization and the amount of new fans he brings, is worth millions.
Just wait until he helps win a super bowl..

I haven't played Madden since the Donovan McNabb cover which I think was like 2004.
I've heard chatter that Madden has gotten worse. What's the issues with the game now?
I tried playing it last year ( it was included in Xbox live subscription) and just felt it is too robotic and too many micro transactions.
They are saying it is a football simulator then make movement and stuff too scripted.

Really wish Madden didn't become such a bad game to play. Or else the Bills would be so fun to play with compared to previous seasons.

It’s quite humorous that you — with your techniques of outright dismissal, arrogance, know-it-all-ism, putting words in other people’s mouths, and frequent moving of the goal posts — would ever pretend to be the authority on adult conversation.
With regard to earning respect on this board, I think my reputation points (especially relative to my overall post count) compared to yours — and in 15 or so less years of membership — speaks volumes.As for earning YOUR respect? Couldn’t care less. You’ve made it abundantly clear that you’ll always be rude and dismissive to me and attack me personally no matter what.
Just put him on ignore as he obviously thinks he is the smartest person in the room but is far from it.

Please feel free to point out where I said that the Bills made similar investments in improving their offensive personnel as they did their defensive personnel. You can't, because I didn't say it.
You don't get to accuse ME of mis-remembering or selectively remembering history and your opinions, as you have in the past, only to turn around and make up things that I never said just to further your agenda.
I had to just put some folks on ignore.. not worth the effort and time.

I played football as well and it makes you dizzy.
I won't even cut my grass right now because at 40, I could die. It was 87 degrees at 10:30 last night.
Hence why I do not live in FL anymore. I am 40 as well and F that heat. When i go visit family in FL, I am always reminded of why I won't live there again.

Exactly, high and mighty old timer who thinks he instantly knows more than practically every poster. Don't get too upset about it, he does this to everyone.
Based on what I've seen, limited (thankfully) exposure to his posts:
1. Talks down to most posters, b/c he sits around with his 60+ yr old buddies talking football and makes him instantly knowledgeable. (although somehow he disregards that some of us actually have coaching/background playing experience, or could just be well educated fans).
2. He also is a season ticket holder, Bills sideline somewhere 20-30 rows up, between the 40s. Although his other old pals, have seasons and likely closer to field.
3. Every now and then stirs the pot (ie: go search his Beasley/McDermott thread from last season, pure gold...or other topics of "expertise", including Tremaine Edmunds).
Bottom line, long time posters will get benefit of doubt. Just how it works in these parts.
Back to WR/offense weapons topic, I agree with you, and actually like this year's collective group of skill players better. Why? Because we have a ton of versatility, and likely improving players. I don't look at "1-1", who did we lose and replace guys with. To me, it's a collective skill position group, that should each compliment another player. Cook, Crowder, Shakir, and Howard collectively bring more to the table than Beas/Manny, just my 2 cents.
Agree, I am excited to see Cook,Crowder, and Shakir in this offense. Beas and Sanders were aging WR's, both remain not signed by any NFL team (to my current knowledge), which shows that age has had an impact on them.
As for people like the aforementioned, Pretending to be the smartest person in the room and actually being that person are completely different. And usually people pretending are not well liked in their environments lol.
And also - he was added on my ignored list.. easy way to rid myself

I hear the BBMB is taking a "let's not discuss the team" approach to message boarding........perhaps you should sign up over there.
And btw, speak when you are spoken to, broo. It looks idiotic and weak to refuse to support your position......as you chose........ but go then jump in to complain further later in the thread. Go away. Never hearda ya'.
hahah ok dokie there big boy. Let me bow down to the all mighty Badolbillz..... gtfo here....
I already commented how your arguments are invalid due to different variables. Just because you continue to ride high on your horse and beat it to death doesn't mean it garners any respect.
You are basing your argument on last years numbers. Which is very idiotic (using your word) since according to that logic, Josh Allen would never improve because of last year or the year before or the year before that. Or there is no chance of Gabe Davis improving, or Knox, or anyone for that matter because of...... wait for it.... Last years numbers.
Which means ABSOLUTLEY nothing going into this year.
As I said, let the season play out. But whom am I to give any advice to the almighty BBMB poster.

I'd settle for a 3rd.
The reality is that the Bills outside WR options are:
1200 yard Diggs
550 yard Davis
28 yard Kumerow
578 yards is one of the lowest returning production 2+3 option combo's in the league.
The Bills have a very distinct set of outside and slot receivers........on an increasing amount of teams there is a 3rd or 4th option who has the size and speed traits to succeed outside but also with the quickness to have potential in the slot.
This is what the Bills clearly lack.
When you weigh that with the reality that Davis has not yet proven he can get it done for 17 games without someone picking up half the slack or more.........this is why the Bills don't have an elite WR corps any longer.
They are, on paper, clearly lesser than they were at this point last season. By about 700 yards of production on the outside.
broo........... give it a rest ffs
It is exhausting lol
Let the season play out.

Ok.......well Crowder has also missed 4 games per season on average due to injuries in those last 4 years. He's not been durable. Beasley, on the other hand, has missed just 2 games to injury and (like Gabe Davis) he missed one simply because he wasn't vaxed so he wasn't eligible to play(get your facts straight on that).
It's a lot like the Rodger Saffold situation.........they traded availability risk to save money.........which they then mostly invested in giving 4 DL starting caliber contracts(Miller, Jones, Settle, Phillips).
If you think Sanders was meh...........ok.........but his "meh" regular season was more receiving yardage than any other receiver currently on the roster had in 2021 other than Diggs. That's the point. They did not replace production. Sanders actually produced more than Davis in the regular season. Davis battled a foot injury in the first half so it turned out to be very fortuitous that they had that kind of production available. Jake Kumerow isn't that kind of option......you are just being willfully ignorant if you can't acknowledge that.
I'm not missing the Kromer variable at all. Big Kromer fan. Hoping for the best. But the flip side is that there has been a lot of turnover in the offensive coaching staff in general. New OL coach, new QB coach, new OC. I hope for the best but anyone who doesn't think they were better positioned to repeat their success with the continuity of the staff that lead their dynamic 2020 offense is living in denial. There is an uncertainty there that didn't exist going into 2021. I'm not a fan in general of giving a new staff a lesser investment in offense. Which is most certainly the direction they've gone.
ok good talk.
Lets just see what happens instead of the sky is falling mentality.

Beasley has been more productive than Crowder in 3 of the last 4 seasons..........in the NFL it's about what you've done lately. Crowder got a cheap deal because he's declined the last 2 seasons.
They didn't replace Sanders..........Davis was already there..........the question is can Davis stay healthy for a season, he has been limited for stretches by foot injuries his first two seasons.........and he also is an anti-vaxer and missed the Bills biggest regular season game last season due to Covid.........Covid will still sideline players this season.
Last season at this time Daryl Williams was coming off a tremendous season where he was a top 5 starting RT in the NFL. He shut down TJ Watt in their matchup in 2020. Feliciano was seen as a solid starter/tone setter and Boettger had been good as a reserve in 2020. Bates was their cherished backup at center. Ford hadn't totally fallen off of a cliff like he did in 2021. On paper they looked pretty good, it's not a notably better OL in that regard than the one that ended up as the league worst in combined sacks and pressures allowed in 2021. They could end up being a lot better but signing a swing tackle who gave up the most sacks in the league(Quessenberry, 11) didn't really change that dynamic much.
Beasley argument is missing one significant and important variable. Josh Allen. You can't compare production when all the other variables are significantly different. Especially the QB. Different Teams, Different QBs, Different Coaches, Different System.
Sanders was meh last year, replacing him with younger talent in the draft is where they went. The covid thing is a reach and that can happen to any person on the team, regardless if vaxxed or not.
Also, you are missing another variable in your O-line argument, Kromer. Who is known to be a top O-Line coach in the league compared to last years O-line coach.
I dont man, you just seem to throw stuff out their to try and validate your argument but keep omitting variables that actually have a larger impact on said stuff.

Well, I get this. But was Bojo a subpar athlete? Not committed enough?
I'm a decent athlete, but I'm not so sure I could learn to do it at an NFL level.
All I'm really saying is that it isn't a given.
I agree, it definitely is not given.
But I do believe Bojo wasn't committed, hence why he has been released by several teams.
As a Punter, you have two responsibilities, 1 Punt really well and punt differently when needed. 2 Hold for FG's. I honestly see no reason why a punter cannot learn to hold if they put in the time and effort. It isn't something that is physically difficult other than decent hands and understanding rotations.
Maybe hand and eye coordination is something Bojo lacks. I don't know to be honest.
Oh and I am sure you can hold at an NFL level if that was your only job to do. Don't sell yourself short @Shaw66
