Ethan in Cleveland

Agreed. After Oliver and Star the rest are street free agent types that can be replaced. Phillips and Zimmer are cheap and are probably playing for one of the last spots on the roster.

If you have the QB then you can win. Allen's development covers up some holes. This is not a critique of Beane or McD and please don't take it negatively. Every team has question marks somewhere and the Bills do as well. The Bills interior o-line is at best a work in progress and is one concussion away from a disaster. Edmunds could be a top 5 LB or out of a job by season end. As you said TE is a concern though I am still a big fan of Knox. CB#2 is a nice position battle. There is no star at RB but there should be enough talent at RB to have a bit more balance this year.. Kicker looks good but still only a year sample size. So I agree with the OP. The roster us solid which makes for some nice threads for some of the roster spots.

Agreed. Edmunds needs to play better and the young DL needs to produce. Hopefully they find a little bit of a run game to go with the passing attack. Everything is set up for a SB win.

I nominate Sunny's Pizza in Lockport. They have amazing wings. More barbecue than hot sauce flavored. I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to the heat. PS Vietnamese or thai fish sauce wings are better than any hot sauce wing you will ever try. Much more flavor. Give them a try if you get a chance.

Not sure what you have been reading, but It's been very well documented that Beane and McD asked him to lose weight last year. which he did. Baltimore has always liked having experience on defense mixed with some youth.

I'd rather keep him than Gilliam. But it likely will come down to Kumerow and Hodgins for the last WR spot. Like others have said if you can get a 5th for Kumerow from GB I'd make that deal if Hodgins shows anything in camp

Perfect response. Trubisky is a great back up option. He lets you cut Fromm and go with just two QBs on the roster opening up an extra spot for a WR or linemen. He is good enough with this team to win games if Allen got hurt. Fromm and noodle arm from last year were not.

Get younger not older on DL. I like the mix of youth and experience that Beane has put together. Didn't like most of the moves last year including Epenesa pick. But having him drop weight and then adding two young pass rushers should be a big improvement.

Davis had 3 drops all last year and made a number of very difficult catches. He has excellent hands. And this would be year two as he was a rookie last year. Are you speaking about Knox?

Modern day NFL DE. Tall and lean.

What does Minn need? A consistent QB, a healthy defense, and Aaron Rodgers retirement.

We have watched the games. The deep passing game is all about Josh not the WRs. Daboll has proven to be able to get guys open deep but Allen has overthrown them too many times. He got better last year and if he can be just a bit more consistent they can hit maybe 10 or 12 more big throws during the season. That is really all they need to do to make the defense respect the deep ball even more than they do now.

I thought the defense was getting shredded by the offense yesterday? Or is this specific to a few nice pass rushing plays?

It depends if Wentz's contract has playing time bonuses too. Players don't take kindly to sitting if it affects their pay. I've read in the past teams have paid bonus money if they don't hit certain performance thresholds due to being inactive the final week if the season. That would not be the case of course for draft pick compensation. As you pointed out he would need to miss a decent chunk of the season or portions of games to avoid the pick changing to a #1. That said if he needs foot surgery he could miss half the season or more.

Hope they keep his reps down. He is a lock to be the pk. No need to overwork him.

Good post. You can’t teach arm strength and speed. Accuracy as we have seen can be taught and improved. It’s hard to do but it can be done as Allen is proving.

Agreed. He is the perfect game day guy to have in case of an injury. He is probably not a guy you want starting but he brings so much flexibility you can dress one less OL for game day thus allowing an extra WR as a return guy or another special teamed.

They needed a center not another swing OT. But generally agree at that point there are few guys that will make this roster. Zimmer has a real shot to make it over Phillips. Phillips was a healthy scratch down the stretch last year. My guess is a fully healthy Phillips might be a bit better than Zimmer but it will be a close call.

Nice job. Swap out Johnson for Obada. Johnson has done very little to keep a spot. Agree with only keeping two QBs. Doyle is not making the 53. He will go to IR or get cut. Waste of a draft pick. That opens up another spot for a fourth safety.

Moss is so dam slow but he is great in pass protection and he breaks tackles. He should start and get 50% of the snaps with the other half divided between Singletary and the kid from Miami

He’s not #1 in catches or yards per game. Adams is. I would still have Diggs above Hill at #3. As others have said Hill is not a complete WR. Im also not sold on Amari Cooper as a top 10 WR. And last of all, DK Metcalf was a top 5 WR last year. I’m stunned he is not in their top 10.

KC lost AFC Championship game in 2018. They did little the next off-season except sign Tyrann Matthieu. The Bills spent money to bring back their starting OLB and RT. I'm not Beane's biggest fan and criticize a number if his moves, but he got guys to rework their contracts and got younger with more bodies for the pass rush. The projected starting OL did not play a single snap together last year. Bills can be a better team with the moves Beane has made. It will require Edmunds and Knox to play much better, Milano to stay healthy, and find a little more balance in the offense.

If you are white really? How much money do you think the NFL would lose if they have to cancel a game?

This is a good topic. I think it is easy to go with Roberts because he had some really nice plays last year. However I think McKenzie and the rookie DB can fill his return duties. I went with Nsekhe. Obviously he barely played last year but he was a low end starter quality swing tackle. I am not sure Bates or either of the rookies are as good as Nsekhe, and if either starting tackle got hurt they would be worse off this year. I really liked Brown and hoped they would find a way to redo his contract and keep him. But have to give Beane props here. Sanders is just as capable and less injury prone even though he is a bit older. Solid replacement move. As odd as it will sound they may miss Lee Smith and Kroft unless they make the move to get Ertz. Even though I have very high hopes for Knox there still is not a lot of talent/depth in the TE group. My guess is they will carry/dress an extra OT to play the role of third TE in goal line and short yardage situations.

ESPN article below from today seems to agree at least somewhat with what many of us have posted. That said, I have no idea how they draw the conclusion it was a lack of chemistry with Klein. What does that have to do with hesitancy to initiate contact? But maybe there is something there that coaches have said to the reporter. At this point his age, potential, and second half of 2019 warrant picking up the option and the hope he becomes the top 5 LB we all want him to be. https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/36163/tremaine-edmunds-best-football-ahead-of-him-as-extension-approaches Statistically, Edmunds turned in a solid 2020 season with 119 tackles, including 4 for a loss in 15 games -- but something seemed off. He missed Buffalo's Week 2 win at the Miami Dolphins with a shoulder injury before returning to play in his team's remaining 14 games, but he seemed slow to react on certain plays or hesitant to initiate contact. Both critiques can be attributed to Edmunds' lack of chemistry with A.J. Klein, who filled in for usual starting linebacker Matt Milano for six games while the latter was injured, and his shoulder keeping him from playing at 100%. But the two-time Pro Bowler was also better than the Internet might lead one to believe. Edmunds' 4.91-second average time to tackle ranked 22nd among qualified linebackers (at least 700 snaps played), and his 0.86 second get-off ranked ninth. Translation: Despite the chemistry issues and injury woes, Edmunds was processing the game quickly.
