Ethan in Cleveland

Get young at RB, Edge, and LB. Athleticism trumps experience for those positions.

Good fit for Herbert. He is going to need a low key atmosphere like Miami to fit in. I still see him as a bust. Guy had like one signature game in his entire Oregon career and that was him running the ball in the RoseBowl which is something he didn't do that much of. But Miami gives him a good chance to succeed. Can sit all of 2020 behind Fitz.

Points allowed and turnovers Yards is a meaningless stat. Yards per rush or attempt is better.

Beane drafts for need. He will draft edge or RB in round two and then say the player was highest on the board.

Cam Newton got hurt running too much. I don't think size matters that much in terms of injury risk while running. Wilson is tiny but eludes the big hits with slides and getting out of bounds. Allen needs to run less but not completely eliminate it from his game.

The rule has nothing to do with whether the player sees it or not. You can't block towards your own endzone.

Even a ten round draft only adds 3 more players. They usually sign 8-10 UDFAs. The person that should be most in favor of this is the last comp pick of the 7th round. He would no longer be Mr. Irrelevant if they add three more rounds.

Second half kick off and illegal crack back block were the right calls. Bills win if Knox makes one block. I agree the other two were missed. Elite defenses don't give up 3rd and 18 in OT.

I liked Fouts. Fouts did a good job pointing out flaws in technique at QB and many other spots. He just didn't do a good enough job of praising good technique as well. I think Davis is far worse. Gannon is the guy I really don't like. He is slow to analyze and rarely gets strategy correct when he even bothers to bring it up. The Bills have sucked for 18 of the last 20 years. While the best QB and perhaps best franchise in NFL history relentlessly beat us. What are the announcers supposed to say? "Brady to Gronk for another TD. But honestly Brady didn't put enough air under that pass. He made Gronk move his hands about 6 inches farther than he needed to" When the Bills win consistency my guess is this board will find the announcers are better.

Not picking up the fifth year option and starting Murphy over Lawson just can’t be explained. Beane and McD predetermined Murphy was the starter and it took 26 games for them to realize Lawson is a much better player.

There are very few roster spots remaining for rookies. The only actual absolute roster need at this point is a #2 RB. I would argue Edge is a far greater issue and they should draft at least two pass rushers After that, this is the year to take some flyers on a Punter, PK, and another QB. It would take a really impressive training camp for me to move on from Hauschka. He was great down the stretch. I'm ready to move on to a new punter. Lastly, I would carry three QBs this year(preferably by cutting DiMarco).

Facts were not allowed on this site before COVID and they are certainly not welcome during COVID...

I was there with my three younger brothers. End-zone seats about 25 rows up. Coldest I've ever been.

Two games a year in these and two games a year in the standing buffalo woudl be perfect mixed with eight games in the new unifroms

I agree. His comments are spot on. But the guy that should move up is Jay Feely. Maybe not all the way to MNF but at least to the second crew. He is really good with quickly going through different strategic decisions.

Beane's tendencies are easy to figure out. He acquires extra picks during the season and off-season. he's been masterful at this. In general, he then trades up for positions of need - QB, MLB, TE, OT, RB burning many of the picks he acquired. He stood pat and allowed Oliver to fall to him. He should have moved up for Josh Allen but DT was a bigger need than DE in last years draft as they already had Hughes, Lawwon, and Murphy under contract. If he hits on Allen none of this matter. If Allen regresses and Edmunds doesn't get any better then the heat will be on him to find a QB during this window of opportunity.

Up 16-0 with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, defense then gave up 19 straight points in a little more than 16 minutes. That is a collapse. Yes the offense needs to get better. Yes one block by Knox in OT and they win the game. An explosive WR will help, but defense wins in the playoffs. They need to get younger at edge/pass rusher and Edmunds needs to continue to get better.

Defense collapsed against the Texans. Another WR would not have made a difference last year in the playoffs. Diggs maybe gets them one more win but they still are in the WC spot. Diggs will be huge in 2020 when the schedule is much harder.

We don't. They need a RB, two edge rushers, and a punter. After that they can take any depth player they want. Given how deep the WR group is it will be likely a WR that is still quite good can be had on day 3.

New CBA adds players. They will definitely add a third QB to the roster even if he is a low round prospect. I don't see DiMarco as a lock with the special teams guys they signed. I think they keep 4 TEs and use Sweeny or Kroft as a FB/Hback when needed. They will add a RB in the draft and I would not be surprised if they don't bring in another vet by trade. That leaves a Punter in the draft and two edge guys in the draft. They are old and still not explosive on the edges at both DE and OLB. The draft is so deep at WR they still may grab a great player on day 3 that could push for the final spot.

Nobody hates Josh Allen on this board. He was the QB I wanted most. But he needs to play better. That is not hatred. That is just a fact. He improved in year two in every category. He needs to continue to get better. No reason to think he won’t, but there is no guarantee he will either.

Agree but the solution is not rewrite the memory. The solution is earlier recognition so the oh-***** moments are less. Even the great ones throw bad balls every game. Just need 1-2 less bad throws, 1-2 less drops(Knox), and 1 miracle NFL holy ***** how did he catch that pass per game(Diggs and Brown). Then Allen is a 63% completion guy and the offense is lethal.

Good call out. Josh was much improved 10-20 yards. The deep ball is always going to be less successful but last year he was so far off that teams didn't need to double deep and few PI calls as the ball was nowhere close. The most troubling thing was there were guys that had multiple steps on the defender and Allen missed them - usually an overthrow. To me that is anxiety, not mechanics.

I disagree pending the draft. We lack explosiveness on the edge. They got older on the DL. I think the new guys will be capable. If they add an OLB on day 2 I will be happy. I agree edge will be a need in 2021 and 2022 with aging front 7. Of course edge would be fine if they just moved Edmunds to OLB where he would be an all-pro. Philosophical question. Can you be a top 5 roster without a top 15 QB? I say no.
