I don’t totally agree with this. Is an improved oline gonna make Singletary faster?

Love this. Allen endorsed him and the familiarity should provide a seamless transition from Daboll. Solid move.

I’m not deflecting anything. Nothing whatsoever. Your original post was poorly written and hard to understand. You challenged my football knowledge because I didn’t share the same opinion as you. I then countered that we have given up assets for an offensive playmaker before, so the history is there. Diggs has worked out, but there was concern at first in how he would fit. There wasn’t a guarantee, but he has fit in perfectly. Barkley would have a chance to do the same thing if he came here. He might be one of the most physically gifted players to ever play running back. His combo of size, speed, and vision are RARE. The only concern is the injury history, but anyone can walk outside and sprain an ankle or tear an ACL. It doesn’t mean you are always gonna be hurt. Making more sense now?

Hahah…the classic “please try to keep up” line…funny stuff.

Heck with Mahomes. Who cares? He wouldn’t have said that I’d they lost.

Yes I agree. However, I have zero hope in first round offensive talent with this staff. It’s almost like McD pitches a fit and begs for defense and only after that is he ok with going offense. I could be off, but I don’t think I’m far from being accurate.

Exactly. Our offense isn’t as elite as it’s led to believe. Allen is an animal and is literally the entire offense. He makes throws no one else can and is our best running back. This staff needs to get a clue and takes some of the burden off him.

Why the heck can’t people see this? But, but, but…we need to keep drafting defense to stop Mahomes!!!!

This is the problem. We are expecting 6th rounders to hit. It’s not fair to call a 6th rounder a miss. They are usually cut or relegated to special teams when drafted by good teams. You basically laid out the exact reason why we need to target offense early. We need true talents that have a chance to contribute early and often and not bounce around on special teams and the practice squad. I’m just a little more than tired hearing about how the offense isn’t an issue when it’s beyond clear that Allen is doing everything on his own. He needs help. Period. Get him some weapons to go along with Diggs, knox, and potentially Davis. Let’s fill in the cracks on defense in the mid rounds and free agency for once. This is my fear as well. McD is a defensive guy and unless he takes ownership of the 13 second debacle, I’ll bet he will try to convince Beane he needs more playmakers on defense. Meanwhile, the offense will have to settle for projects and mid rounders that they hope will pan out.

That’s fair…but let’s put aside the fact that we didn’t need mcgahee. The point I was making is that there have been several top prospects that fell in recent years due to injury. The teams that drafted them made out like bandits.

Exactly. I’m tired of all the early picks on defense. It’s gotten us the number one defense in the league with a lot of solid young players to develop. Enough. What we need to do is load up on offense. Our WR are either old or slow. We don’t have anyone that os young with speed. Our RB room is slow too. On top of that, we still need some solid guards to protect Allen and open holes for our runners. No. No. No. you can just as easily add a corner in the later rounds. It works both ways. Time to start throwing some elite traits into this offense and make it unstoppable.

Great point. I swear this board is divided by offense and defense. The same people that would complain are probably the same people that were pushing for Caleb Farley if he was available at 30 last year. Jameson Williams is gonna be a really good WR in this league. Not only does he have elite speed, but he also has some size to go along with that speed. Getting a top 10 pick at 25 would be a coup for this offense.

Then you have your answer…the bills took a chance on him in the 20’s and got a steal. Happens all the time with injured players.

Let me ask you something…where would he have gone if he hadn’t hurt his knee?

OP…thanks for taking the time to do all that. Amazing work. Well done. As for the pick…LOVE IT!!!! Finally…people are understanding that the Bills need to “keep their fastball” as Beane put it last year. Right before he drafted 2 (!) DEs in the first consecutive rounds. Williams would be an amazing find at that spot and we would be getting a top 10 pick at 25 because of an injury that is no longer a threat of a complete return. People are getting too worked up over this injury. ACLs are 6-9 month injuries these days. We would be getting returns this year. Do we need another corner? Maybe. Maybe not. Levi and Dane did very well together…all things considered. We could vet easily take a corner in the mid rounds or add a vet to compete for CB2. The idea that it has to be a first rounder is off IMO. We have donated enough premium picks on the defense. It’s time to show Allen and the offense that they are worth a first round pick. Again… GREAT JOB!!! Exactly…McGahee’s knee was completely mangled. Plus, ACL surgery and recovery has come a long way in the last 20 years.

You realize Willis mcgahee was very solid while he was here, right? I’m sure the Titans are regretting taking Jeffrey Simmons in the first, huh?

This literally makes no sense, but thanks for playing…

I can’t see that happening at all…I’d love it, but I don’t think it will happen…

Kinda what I’m afraid of. This is what you get when you hire a defensive minded HC.

Great…so more high picks on defense and wait until the mid to late rounds to help the offense. I really don’t know what to say…🙄

BOOM!!!! I am sick at all the defense talk. It’s completely unrealistic that Allen can keep doing what he is doing now in a few years. He needs elite weapons to help him. Or an impenetrable offensive line. Or both. I think too many people look at the offensive output the last two games and think we are ok there. I don’t agree. Allen simply played at an all time level. Singletary is still slow. Beasley is still old. Sanders is still gone. The line still has its issues. To think that we need to pair a former first round corner with another one is a misjudgment in my opinion. You can easily take a respectable talent in the mid rounds. We found gabe in round 4. Why can’t we take a WR or OL in round 1 and find a solid CB2 in round 4? I think this fanbase is so used to drafting defense high that they know no other way.

Exactly. The hammy is a concern, but anyone in this world can slip on ice and sprain and ankle or tear an acl. And you know this how? Saquon was simply unbelievable the season he was healthy. Barkley in the offense would be electric.

Are you upset that we sent multiple assets to get Diggs?

Couldn’t agree more. They have spent, spent, spent on defense. Last year’s first and second round picks. The year before they took a DE. Yes, we got Diggs, but it was almost like a consolation piece so fans wouldn’t complain about the offense. It’s like taking Allen in the first in 2018…then followed it up with 3 straight defensive picks. We are SOOO close…but I’m concerned Beane and McD think the ticket is to add more defense instead of looking at the coaching as the prime reason we lost last Sunday. We had the personnel, but the coaches failed the team. It’s hard to complain about an offense that puts up numbers. My main thing is you need to plan ahead. Morse is on his last legs, Beasley is in his last year, Sanders and McKenzie are likely gone. Don’t forget that we have a slow RB and basically need upgrades at both OGs. I hate that all the talk is about adding more defensive line and corner. We have the number one defense and have dumped high pick after high pick into it. I just can’t fathom watching the chiefs doing whatever they want next year as our newest defensive first and second rounders sit on the sidelines in a rotation or are largely ineffective. Let’s load up on offense and protect our best player. Give him a speedy slot that can get YAC and a RB that can hit the hole before it closes off. I honestly think this is the best ticket to beating good teams. Out score them. The defense is the number one unit in the league. Let the players we have develop and get a mid round or FA vet to compete at CB2.

EXACTLY!!!!
