exactly. if people think higgins is going to be the best guy there whenever they pick then fine. I am sick of the jump ball, contested catch talk, as if that’s sustainable. How about just continue to get fast guys that can run great routes or even not-so-fast-but-smart guys that know how to get open? Sort of like the guys they’ve already brought in?
Personally I don’t want Josh Allen of all people throwing into tight coverage; I don’t care if he’s throwing to a 7 foot tall tee higgins. I don’t have that kind of trust in him yet.If you look at Josh and all the receivers highlights there are many passes into tight coverage throughout the season, so I think that is not so much the problem. You are correct on getting the “right guy”, my attitude is to get the best pass catchers, they usually are proficient at getting open, and are fast enough, otherwise they would not be the best pass catchers..., jmo.
Go Bills!!!

It’s beyond hilarious how much people dislike Higgins. His numbers didn’t blow anyone away but they didn’t send up red flags either. His claim to fame is his play on the field and actually catching the ball.
Agree, Catching the damn ball is first and foremost the #1 trait you look for in a receiver, (SM said this as well at the combine)
With our teams drop rate the last two seasons one would think that would be everyone’s first concern with receiver acquisitions. Jmo.
Go Bills!!!

Looks like we're rolling with what we've got at TE. You could definitely do worse than: Knox, Kroft, Croom, Smith, Sweeney... although one of these guys might get cut. Solid "B" imo
Agree, it is very likely they are done with this upcoming seasons TE room, now having said that, I will be shown to be wrong...
The O line is virtually complete, as is the TE room, Beane is getting the ducks in a row pre FA and draft. RBs, and WRs rooms are on deck. Defense will be handled in similar fashion.
Go Bills!!!

That may be the case, so my contingency plan is to go to the Islands ?? ??⛱ Putter around on my boat ⛵️, eat conch fritters and drink Kalik beer, and go snorkeling most every day and very likely sleep in a lot, oh, and play Don Ho tunes on my ukulele, I think it’s a good plan, ?
Really though, I hope the season goes off with nary a hitch, we got a super bowl to win..
Go Bills!!!

He misses time during the games, my best friend went to Clemson and is a huge fan (I have watched enough games), personally I see a Will Fuller type player in him.
What he does have:
1.) good catch radius
2.) makes contested catches
3.) body control
4.) good on the outside
What he doesn't have:
1.) struggles in tight spaces (dropsies) and
2.) does not get good separation,
3.) YAC is based on big plays and not on stopping making a defender miss and taking it to the house
4.) limited route tree - is this based on slower agility and he can only be effective on the outside (as Beane says are the coaches protecting the player?)
5.) double digit receptions
What we are missing on the team
1.) Separation
2.) YAC
3.) consistent catching
What Daboll requires:
1.) good route tree
2.) I am going to generalize here, but the WR needs to have a brain in his skull to read the D and change their route
Where I struggle is:
1.) a limited route tree (by far better on the outside than in,
2.) doesn't make players miss
3.) most of his success (stats) have been on downfield plays, which is not a staple of our offense. Josh as of now is a short and mid throw passer, our OL is not great and we want to get the ball out of his hands quicker. A slower WR who seems to be an outside only guy who plays better with the long ball than the short =/= what we are doing on offense. There are simply better players who fit the mold
Edit: forgot to mention this - Is he CJ Spiller/Sammy level clemson intelligent?
Sammy it appears is s flat earther, not that many people are that willfully ignorant, so there is hope for Tee...

Dunno about that in this case. You just made it very difficult to cut him this season if we do find an upgrade. This is both sides agreeing to give it one more season to see if it works out. My real issue is that it makes upgrading the position very difficult unless we move in from Lee Smith. In that case our new TE better be a good in line blocker.The initial contract they gave Kroft was terrible. If we’re going to keep him this season at least it’ll be for less money.
This move tells me the are likely to run with the current makeup of the TE room. Of course I could be wrong.

I think this is a wise move considering what has happened in Europe and other countries. What the NBA has done is also the right thing and I predict the NFL Draft will be only on TV and Drafting via teleconfrence. Stay safe evryone!
Nice post, someone has to be the adult in the room. ??

Good! Beane strikes again.
To those that haven’t figured it out yet, ya don’t cut players until you have inked their replacement, when yo do that you lose leverage when negotiating the replacement, unless of course it’s Kelvin Benjamin... ? then ya just cut his azs.Go Bills!!!

Agree, the offense needs be the biggest priority this offseason. OL, RB, and WR, additions at those positions will be of great benefit.
At he same time we as well need to keep the Defense from taking a step back, both are equally important. I think Beane and McDermott are up to the task. You can be damn sure there is a plan and process in place to achieve this.Go Bills!!!

What would you consider to be unleashing the offense? Allen threw 46 times in the playoff game, and the only TD the Bills scored was a TD pass from a WR. The Texans were the 28th ranked team against the pass, and Buffalo managed 1.7 points per possession. I didn’t see anything conservative about the game plan. I saw an offense that just couldn’t execute.
I guess what I’m getting at is when Sean seems to sit on small leads, and our OC goes away from things that are working during games, yes execution is part of it, but play calling choices as well have caused us all to wonder why a given play is called at a given moment in a game. The Dallas game was the best play calling game BD had all season imo, it is incumbent upon the OC to put his players in the best position to succeed, and I don’t believe that was always the case on offense. Jmo I guess.
Go Bills!!!

I look back at the playoff game against Houston, and we settled for a field goal instead of going for the touchdown at the end of the first half.
The offense was moving the ball, and the Bills started that drive on their own 4 yard line. Then for some reason, we let the clock run with over a minute to go, with 2 time outs. Imagine if they had scored a touchdown on that drive. The Texans defense would have been demoralized. I was very angry that we did that, and I thought it would come back to haunt us.
Yes, the defense played bad late in the second half, but not going for a touchdown before halftime was a crucial missed opportunity that we did to ourselves.
I like McDermott a lot, but I want to see him let the offense show that it can be relied on to score at will. I want to see the offense look the way they did in the Dallas game all season.
At some point he is going to have to trust the offense to get it done. The Dallas game was/is the benchmark of what needs to be a regular occurrence for our offense.
Don’t get me wrong on this, I do think SM is a good HC, but he really does need to unleash that unit and find out what they got. I fully expect Beane to hit big in FA and the draft, and that will help a lot on the offense, imo.
Go Bills!!!

I voted 81-90, and I would personally put them at 90.
I loved Beane's approach to free agency last season and he brought in some good players for us. Overall he has done a remarkable job. Yes, not every player he's brought in has been a home run, but he is doing everything he can to make the Bills a better team.
McDermott's attitude that he brings to the team is fantastic, and the players have bought into the culture. The Bills have become an exciting team to watch again, and I believe that there is a lot more to look forward to and get excited about.
To get into the 91-100 range, they have to win in the playoffs.
Also, I want to see McDermott approach the game on offense with a killer instinct. My one and only criticism of him.
I agree with your thoughts on this, your last paragraph is also a sticking point for me, through their decisions they stopped the O when it was in a role several times.
The Minnesota game was the first time I noticed them doing it, very frustrating to say the least. It is odd and “almost” like SM doesn’t want the offense to get credit for a win.
Go Bills!!!
