Plenty. Jaguars, Cardinals, and Patriots right off the top of my head. ESPECIALLY the Patriots. Good God. Josh won an MVP. That isn't happening with the WORST receiver group in the NFL. And the thing that drives me absolutely nuts on this board is the complete impatience of people when it comes to development. If a guy doesn't ball out in his rookie year, he is a bust according to a big % of this forum. Kincaid I understand. Heading into year 3 it is crucial for him. He also had that big drop against KC which he's lucky he isn't scrutinized more for. Keon Coleman? I simply don't get it at all. 556 and 4 TDs averaging 20 yards a catch is SOLID. He can absolutely build on that. Also, this offense is more of a ball distribution philosophy of getting it to the open guy. Josh Allen seems so much more relaxed w/ this concept. Career lows in both sacks & interceptions. He's getting the ball out quick & decisively. Beane went off on that interviewer which was amazing. Bills averaged more points than the SB winners. The defense is what needs help. I hope McDermott considers bringing in a new philosophy if they come up short once again because of a crap showing against KC.

Allen is the NFLs greatest weapon. There's no denying that. His numbers speak for themselves. It's Mahomes/Allen and then everyone else.

Exactly. I've been preaching this since the end of last season. Josh won an MVP with a cast of rag tag WRs. Yes, it would be nice to have a Megatron or Justin Jefferson, but how much better can his numbers really get? Allen is breaking so many records that it is pretty much becoming routine. Defense (and STs) have continuously been the downfall of this team YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT. Something had to be done. It makes me seethe w/ rage watching Mahomes effortlessly march down the field in the playoffs. If Allen had the defenses the Bills had in the 2000s, he would've had a couple rings by now. Beane did a good job. I think we all deep down knew they were going CB in round 1. It's not flashy, but it was needed.

Why is Josh being asked about COOK's situation? This is a Beane question. I get that players especially RBs want to get paid, but Cook isn't worth the bread he's demanding. I'll beat this horse to death, roll with Ray Davis/TJ/Rookie and let Cook go the Leveon Bell route. I pray this happens. A 3rd rounder would be sufficient.

Stupid or not Romanowski has 4 rings.

Not for the entirety of his career.

An amazing find by Beane and he is only 27. Definitely a player who will be one of the cornerstones of the Line for years to come. Love what he’s done for the running game. Doesn’t seem one dimensional either as the Bills allowed only 8 sacks for the entire year. The O-Line gave Josh the time and rushing attack to propel him to a much deserved MVP award. IDC who you are, no player can do everything alone.

Why is TJ Watt getting no love? He is only a year older and has 6 more sacks than Garrett. If he can string together a few more 18-20 sacks seasons he has a very decent shot to break it. I think he is the better pass rusher. Garrett might be more numerically consistent, but Watt has seasons where he just snaps.

His value as a CB/KR was enormous. Buffalo lacks that game-breaker on any side of the ball (not named Josh Allen.)

Patriots are on the up & coming, but I think it’s going to be awhile before they can compete w/ the Dolphins let alone the Bills. People are nervous because they played us well and now they’ve got a better coach. Getting to 9-8 will be a big success for their organization. They possibly might even split w/ the Bills. I just don’t think they are as good of a matchup against the rest of the AFCE. That will hinder their final record. As always, most of their success will depend largely on the growth of their QB. I’m not sold on Drake Maye. The most electric rookie QB to me was Bo Nix by far.

McGee was just a playmaker period. Wherever you put him. He made a **** ton of huge plays on the defensive side of the ball too. He was a serviceable cover corner, but also underrated was his tackling ability. 2004 he had 98 tackles alone. 4 TFL, 2 Sacks, 3 picks, 3 FF. Add his value as a returner. Very very underrated player of the drought era. I remember buying one his hats.

2 first-team all pros as a CB is no joke. Injuries suck. Sterling Sharpe is another guy that had GOAT potential. Health is such an underrated attribute as a player. Then u have iron men like Favre or Bill Romanowski who play with an almost reckless abandonment, but almost never sat out a game. I’m willing to bet they’ve most definitely played in games that regular NFL players wouldn’t. Higher pain threshold?

Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game seems pretty unbreakable. I don’t think Bruce Smiths record will be broken either. Other than Reggie White, there isn’t anyone is even remotely close. Not sure how this guy racked up so many sacks as a 3-4 end.

That was nasty though. That’s some wily vet stuff

I’m talking about purely physical attributes. He’s built like a Josh Allen/Randall Cunningham clone. Some coach out there is going to think he can mold something out of him.

Josh Allen also hovered around a 56 completion % during his 2 full years starting at Wyoming. It’s not written in stone. The physical attributes are just too good to completely ignore and I’m sure he will have every opportunity to compete in Dallas where patience has been wearing thin for Dak.

I recalled the general play, but I brought up the last Cardinals drive because I can go back and rewatch whatever game on my phone. Edit: I’m not Rain Man

I hope so. Ingram had some brilliant moments last season. Picking off Tua twice and running one back for a TD was an amazing performance. One of my favorites was the Cardinals game. Arizona had the ball 4th & 7 on Buffalo’s 30 while down 6 points w/ 2 TOs and 0:32 left. Murray lobbed a perfectly placed pass to Dorch up the sideline which Ingram broke up beautifully to seal the game. Perfect coverage matching every single step while also not doing anything that could draw a flag. It’s a moment Buffalo fans always half-expect to get kicked in the balls. Also, no one wants to lose the season opener.

Cam Ward is gonna be a star. I love the poise he plays with.

Well, that’s a relief.

I always list a defensive and offensive player for these. Also, I wanted to state that just because I list a guy as “overrated” doesn’t mean that I am not happy with said player on team. I love having Damar Hamlin, but also could agree that he is a liability at times and lacks the play making ability to be anything more than capable depth. Overrated = James Cook is an excellent RB, but not worth 15 million a year. As a pure runner, he is top level. I love the way he glides through holes along w/ his underrated speed/burst. I also see an underwhelming pass protector/blocker. He’s a decent receiver, but not beyond the confines of your average NFL RB. A reliable outlet for Josh, but you won’t catch him splitting out much. Underrated = The Bills became an absolute force in the run game when they were able to snag McGovern in the 2023 offseason to take over for the much maligned Saffold. I feel like an honorable mention should go to David Edwards who was acquired in the FA class as well. Both of these men instantly injected the line with some much needed physicality & consistency. Overrated = Gregarious Rousseau. I am gonna get sh!t for my “overrated” pick, but I had to choose one. Rousseau is a good player and we are much better off with him than without. With that being said, the Bills have not been hitting with enough consistency on those top picks so it’s a relief to have one of them work out once in a while. I just can’t help but think about what this defense would be like with truly elite pass rusher like Hendrickson, Garrett, or Micah Parsons. I truly think we would’ve had at least one SB wrapped up by now if the Von Miller acquisition worked out. Underrated = Ed Oliver. I think even McDermott would tell you that this guy is the unsung glue that keeps this defense a top 10 unit year in & year out. People will argue that he doesn’t take over enough games, but what help does he really have? The DQJ extension was a total flop. Time for Buffalo to stop Fing around and grab a top DT prospect. I’m hoping Beane moves up in the 1st round if someone with blue chip potential falls past pick #20.

IDC what anyone says. That’s a find for the Cowboys. I can’t explain it, but it seems like Milton has the intangibles in the limited times I’ve seen him on the field. I would be mega excited if I was a Dallas fan. Milton checks every box you want for a QB. If they stay patient and develop an offense around him, the sky is the limit. Reminds me a lot of Josh Allen actually. I wish Buffalo had a chance to develop him.

Are people now starting to notice a pattern going on with the Jets and QBs?

let me know if u need another person.
