By #1 I mean the one w/ the most rec yards. Typically the guy opposing defenses scheme the most against and put their best CB on. Allen's preferred target.

It's definitely one of the better WR groups in the league. Each receiver has their own specific skill set which I think is great. Good comparison w/ Lofton. Sanders still has good burst out there and I'm honestly excited for both.

To what extent? I can't remember what was exactly wrong w him in the AFCC. I looked up his stats and he only had 3 targets and 0 catches.

Beasley is the engine that keeps this offense ticking. If he ever gets sidelined for any reason, I expect a decent drop off in 3rd down percentage. Some people just don't understand how good at his job he really is. I hate when people say he's not the future and guys like McKenzie will take his spot. Not happening. Good slot receivers can play well into their 30s, but only if he decides it's worth the toll on his body to do so. The guy hasn't slowed down one bit and actually aged like wine.

First off, please don't jump down my throat. It's just a random thought/question and not a preseason overreaction. This has been on my mind since the end of last season. When I watch Davis ball, he looks like a star in the making. The chemistry between him and Allen has been evident from the beginning. He's not the fastest guy, but and can stretch the field. He's also great in the Red zone coming in 3rd place of all rookies last year in TD receptions + is the best on the team at making those sideline catches (IMO.) Great measurables, sure handed, and versatile. What more can you ask for? My only concern is his lack of production in the playoffs specifically against KC when we needed someone to really step up. I don't wanna say I exactly "disappointed" that the Bills picked up Emmanuel Sanders, I know depth is never a bad thing, but I really wanted to see where his progression would lead to getting more targets. I feel he will eventually take that #2 (if he already hasn't) and become a 1B guy to Diggs. What do you guys think?

I feel like guys like Edmunds and especially Ed Oliver would be under way more fire if we didn't have Josh Allen on the team. Fortunately, we don't have to rely on the defense as much to win games so underperforming draft picks aren't getting as much critique as they should. This is the Bill Bellichick effect. In years past, Oliver would be getting roasted by this message board. This is my opinion so take it or leave it.

I wasn't excited about the hire either. Daboll is obviously a great coordinator, but it takes a great QB to run his offense at the same time. He's benefitted greatly having Josh as his guy and I don't think we'll see much if any drop off when goes.

Oh man that's brutal. 🥺

Well, the amount he would have in week 15 opposed to now. He's a shell of his former self, but can still put up a monster game.

Valid points. I think the defense will come together by week 5-6. And Daboll is going to tweak the offensive scheme to make the run game serviceable and don't forget Allen's mandatory 600+ 8-10 TDs on the ground. And I don't think Allen really has any weaknesses other than his fumbling and (if you even call this a weakness) always looking for the big play even if there's a safer option to check down to. I feel he is the hardest QB to scheme against because he's such a good improviser and runner.

Like some before stated, it's going to be a dog fight. The first games of a season are always crazy & unpredictable. Look how many time the Drought-years Bills came on super strong in the first few games in the season only to sink back into obscurity, mathematically eliminating themselves by November. The Bills are no doubt the superior team and will have a better record when it's all said and done, but don't count out a very hungry Steelers team (who I predict will win the North.) Big Ben won't have the wear & tear and both teams won't have any film on each other from this season. I predict a high scoring game as the defenses having quite caught up. 31-28 Bills w/ Bass kicking the game winner.

Lol who tf said that?

It's bound to happen to somebody. Better him than Oliver or Edmunds. It sucks because he had the game of his career against Baltimore and I was really excited to see what he could do this season. Defensive tackles tend to need more development. Shucks

McKenzie is an absolute lock so I'll take him out of the equation. I love Stevenson's athletiscm and he's a homegrown draft pick so he has that going for him. I don't think the coaches are going to take the chance of McKenzie potentially losing a game on a dropped punt and that makes Stevenson all the more valuable. Kumerow was a guy living purely on hype and (Aaron Rodgers) word of mouth, but now he's excelling in the off-season. He's also got the ST thing going for him along w/ great RedZone potential. As was said before, he's older than I originally thought so that could be a deal breaker. My heart says Kumerow, but my brain says Stevenson. I'm gonna go w/ my heart. Just because.

Despite being for the 6th WR, this is one of the most intriguing battles battles of camp for me. I'll admit it, (and I hate to) I'm really feeding into the Kumerow hype in the same way I did for Chris Hogan who ended up having a VERY solid career. A perpetual camp stud who just needed a chance. It's a great storyline and I hope he makes the roster. If I was a betting man then I would put my chips on Kumerow. I just never felt the same about Duke Williams for some reason. Cheers 🍺 This is an overlooked point. McKenzie taking over the returner role would've been big for JK as it might free up an additional roster spot. I hope he gets it together for the last 2 preseason games. He's truly electrifying in the open field.

Yeah, it started when Tre White came in at 95. I don't agree w/ their list. This just in: Bills fan thinks Bills player should be ranked higher! 😯😯 The audacity!

I can understand where you're coming from I could've worded it differently. I just thought that Allen & Diggs would be locks for the top 10 before the list came out. It doesn't ruin my day or have an effect on my life like some people on this board. Rankings are rankings and the actual games are what matters, not Pro Bowls and stupid honors that mean nothing.

I can't even disagree on a ranking without getting attacked on this board 😆 Yes, Diggs got screwed this year and should've been a top 10 player. He was one of the main reasons for the AFCC run and made some huge catches in the playoffs. In regards to Buffalo getting no respect in the media, how long have u been a Bills fan and u haven't noticed this? The chip on my shoulder didn't just magically appear there. There's some basis in reality to it.

The NFL top 100 isn't about what you did in previous seasons. It's about THAT year. It's not a conspiracy that the Bills get perpetually screwed, it's because they're a small market team that people don't do their homework on. I disagree on the ranking, burn me at the stake.

As we say in NYC, I am "dead ***"

#11?? Guy won the reception and receiving title. As usual the Bills get slighted. I wonder where the previous years yards/rec leaders were placed.

The problem is too many times Hyde & Poyer get lumped together as an elite tandem which is obviously true. "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts" kind of deal. I don't think that's fair. Poyer is absolutely an elite player by himself regardless w/ who you team him up with. Hyde as a very good player in his own right too, but Poyer is a legit star. I feel like the Bills defense doesn't get beat too often on deep passes. They keep everything in front of them which is one of the Safety positions main jobs.

If Allen blows out his knee then the season is officially over. Maybe they squeeze into a wildcard loss on the strength of the defense, but that's it. If it's for 3-5 games then obviously it's still salvageable. *Knock on wood*

With an extra game I'll give them a puncher's chance, but I just don't see it happening. That Peyton Manning led 2013 season by the Broncos was absolutely insane. Allen is close, but quite at that level.

This. With the way Allen plays, I think the Bills will always be in the market for a top notch backup, IMO. Who else would you trust to go .500 in the event an injury happens besides Trubisky who is entirely capable of running this offense? Fromm & Webb are 3rd string camp bodies at best. Trubisky isn't worth the 4th rounder he most likely would command, anyways. Best keep the roster the way it is and hopefully sign him to a top-level backup deal after the season.
