Agreed. It’s pretty hard to get an MVP without help. What Buffalo lacks in WRs, they make up for with an explosive run game and a well-rounded line. WRs aren’t exactly bad, they are just lacking a true prototypical #1. They are currently about middle of the pack in that area. I am higher on Keon Coleman than most. I think he’s going to be nasty once he hits year 3. I am reserving judgment on Kincaid until this year which is make or break for him. Knox to me is the better TE and should’ve been utilized more in the playoffs.

It was a garbage display of officiating in an extremely close game. Makes me sick. NFL wanted a 3 peat, but even the officials couldn’t stop the ass beating the Eagles gave them. Sucks because I really think Buffalo could’ve been a worthy opponent.

Is he really though ? Dan Marino made one SB in his 2nd year and never went back. It’s not always a given. I agree with OP to an extent. If someone they feel is elite at a position of need falls out of the top 10, they need to see what it might cost. Buffalo has 10 draft picks. What’s the point of all that ammo if you aren’t going to wheel & deal ? I feel Iike the FO has the same mindset as you. Josh is good enough to get it done. Maybe so ? But I don’t want to luck out into just one SB. Allen is good enough to be part of a dynasty IF he has the support to do so.

I actually like it more on this forum during the offseason. Great football 101 discussion and less fair weather fans. Only the true die hards come here around this time. Plus the draft and training camp are great

That would be extremely short- sighted. I’m as angry as anybody about Kincaid’s regression this year, but he’s still learning the position. Year 3 is massive for WRs and TEs. And TE is a MUCH harder position because Kincaid has to learn NFL route running, develop chemistry w/ Allen who is constantly going off-script, AND be a 6th O-Lineman when called upon. People say CB is the hardest to learn, but I am in disagreement. TEs have to learn 2 different positions. How many elite CBs have there been the past 10 years? How many TEs? It’s not even close. If Kincaid can develop into a Greg Olsen type (which I think is Buffalo’s realistic goal) then I think it is a huge W for the front office. Asking him to be the 2nd coming of Antonio Gates is a little too much. All in all, trading him would be stupid & rash at this point. I don’t think he should’ve been drafted in the first place, Dawson Knox was more than capable and Morris was a decent #2, but here we are.

Yeah, the PED suspensions really put a damper on an acceptable FA class. All in all, I don’t think it will affect the Bills much as they usually cruise through the first half of the season. Hopefully those suspended players are practicing hard and memorizing the playbook during their little vacations. For me (and probably most people) the biggest signing was Joey Bosa. If he can stay relatively healthy, it will transform this defense into something fierce.

Coleman certainly has the physical skills to be great. He’s slow, but so was Moulds, Fitzgerald, Boldin, and Rice. The 2 things he showed that really gave me hope were the contested catches he made and the way he adjusted/ contorted his body to make said catches. The athleticism is there very clearly. Sheesh, that is a heck of a class.

Thank you! And I agree. Moulds is easily the best of the dark times. And he put up with crappy QB play like a man. No complaining, no airing his issues to the media, no arrests. He was the opposite of a diva.

The deep threat we sorely need right now.

IDK why I never knew this or heard it brought up before on this forum, but Eric Moulds has the all-time receiving yard record in the playoffs. He put up 240 yards during 98 wildcard against the Dolphins. Absolutely insane. I knew Moulds was very very good during his heyday, but I have done a deep dive into his career (I tend to spend the offseasons watching old Bills games and also specific Buffalo legends) and I didn’t realize the sheer dominance he had when given decent QB play. By no means was he a slouch, he’s 5 yards short of a 10k career, but this guy really could’ve been up there with Reed/ Largent/ Reggie Wayne/ Holt. Those guys all had HOF passers. Are there any other examples of players like Moulds who had atrocious QBs and never achieved their full potential? Or players with crappy supporting casts in general that were much better than fans give them credit for ? Then on the other end we have Gabe Davis with the most receiving Touchdowns in a playoff game (who can forget that?) Too bad he couldn’t stop dropping the ball. Gabe Davis could’ve been a Wayne Chrebet/Ed McCaffrey type legend in Western NY. Not insane stats, but some legendary plays and a long-tenured career & go-to target for Josh Allen. His toe-tap catches in a VERY close game against the Phillip Rivers-led Colts were instrumental in the Bills first playoff win in 25 years. A very important player that helped spark the Bills as a major force in the NFL.

They were classy because it would’ve been a PR nightmare for them. Let’s keep it real.

Hollins really gave the Bills some swagger. He had some clutch plays last year. Sad to see him go. I really thought he would be a high priority in the offseason. Really sucks he went to the Pats. Now I can’t root for him. Yeah, Massachusetts sucks. The most arrogant people I’ve ever met and the food is terrible.

Weakest FA signing. I hope Beane knows something we don’t. 1 TD with a stat padder like Herbert is pretty underwhelming.

Grant 6’4 330 Joey Bosa 6’5 280 Greg Rousseau 6’7 266 That’s a MASSIVE lengthy defensive line.

They did along with Miami. Josh Allen actually sent him a text to try and persuade him to come here. I’m not sure how much of a difference it made, but still pretty cool. Source: https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/189430-former-49ers-turned-convinced-bills/ No need to put enormous expectations on yourself like Von Miller did predicting Superbowls and what not.

ON PAPER the defensive line looks pretty damn good. Bosa could really improve the other guys a lot just by being on the field. Pretty cool that the Bills were able to get him over the 49ers considering that’s where his brother plays.

Eh I don’t think so. The Bills usually cruise through the first half of the season. I doubt 2 rotational D-linemen will be much of a difference when it comes to a W or L. Doesn’t take away how stupid the signings were though…

As an Italian-American I feel personally attacked

It’s going to be a CB by committee until somebody clearly separates.

The Yoko Ono of Buffalo

This would be a dream come true.

I love this signing. Instantly upgrades the CB position by basically swapping Elam for Dane Jackson. No growing pains either. He will instantly come in and contribute.

Damn, that makes us old ??? Honestly, that signing put Buffalo on the map and we really haven’t had a hard time attracting free agents since.

Yes. Bosa could really transform the defense. I remember the game when he sacked Allen 3 times and wishing we had someone like that playing for us. He’s also knows how to punch the ball out which will fit in perfectly with this group. What gives me hope are his injuries aren’t knee related or always in the same place. I honestly believe he’s just been unlucky. He’s only had 2 seasons that really kept him out most of the year. It’s a good gamble for Beane to make.

That would be a dream come true.
