LB? Are you serious? We play nickel 99% of the time. Milano and Edmunds aren’t going to be replaced gone we trade for. Did you mean G and CB? We could upgrade cb2…..but I don’t see any reason to upgrade Lb
CB would be nice too, but yes, a LB is still needed and I pray the McD sees what everyone else does in Edmunds and has the balls to replace him in the off-season.

Find a G or LB or Both, that’s the weakness of this team.

My biggest “fear” for this team is not making a move and having to ever run Cody Ford on the field again. A turnstile at least bottlenecks people enough to slow them, he can’t even do that. If he gets on the field vs that line, Allen will look like Maholmes in the SB. Something HAS to be done to make sure he never makes it out there again. The Phins stayed in the game for 3Q because of the OL, can’t have that against a real team.

I think to poach a PS player, you have to put them on the active roster. Are Russell Okung or Mitchell Schwartz worth a 10 game rental?
Hell yes. The G position is going to kill the O if they have to run Ford out there. Frankly, he should be off the roster by EOD today and never come back. There are street FAs that are better options.

He had a nice game yesterday, gotta have more of that play or he can officially be labeled as a rotational DT with nice upside. Not the guy you pay 15M or a top 10 pick for. Thought it was a bad pick at the time and I stand by that. I think this regime has just a little too much pride to not pick up his option, but unless he completely breaks out, they should not.
He joins the growing list of guys they have over drafted and given too much opportunity to. Thus far, only Allen has been the only early round pick worthy of the position picked. Edmunds, Ford, Oliver, Eppenessa, and Basham are all looking bad in terms of their production vs the picks to get them. It’s early on Boogie and Epp, I’ll say Groot looks like a real good pick, but this had better be his floor, not ceiling. If he keeps growing, that’s going down as a great pick. If we really get down to it, the first 3 rounds have not been great under Beane, Brown may also be a nice pick, but time will ultimately tell on that.

Statement made, you played us tough, now go F yourself. We need that killer attitude and I’m glad they showed they had some. The 2 pt conversion was one I would not have taken, just because of injury risk, but end of the day, you play to win and stupid ***** happens in every game, so don’t leave the score to chance.

Simien is a solid player, they have no reason to panic.

I think it would be far more likely that a team moves there. This makes me wonder though, did Cleveland pull the same stunt to get a new Browns team back there and we just never heard about it?
I could see the Chargers or Rams getting a buy out of sorts to get out of their part of the SoFi stadium deal and go there.

It is when you’ve lost two games already to talent inferior teams. Was 31 points enough, or 20? The problem is too many points are still being left on the field , and Most of that is on Josh. As Jonn Fina just said on his podcast w Joe miller , Josh is looking off many wide open shorter route receivers, and esp did that during the Titans game. Yes his completion % was high at 77% or so , but there is no reason it could not have been 80% or more, and it cost us two fg in the red zone early. If we get tds there , 14-0 , makes it harder to keep using Henry. It felt like Josh wanted to prove he was the qb to expose the backup cbs of the Titans deep , ( Finas assessment, who btw is excellent to understand our line play and game plans in general) , rather than go to frequently open receivers like the backs. The next ti the last drive while leading and a chance to go up 2 scores was an example of hero Josh mindset rearing it’s head and he should be past that in his 4 th year now. He is capable of better , like against the WFT, and he has been great against weak teams with big margins fir error ( KC was a good game against a horrible defense ) Just need him to take the open backs when there during playoff time and not contribute to losing any more winnable games that will put us on the road for the playoffs
Josh is an amazing talent, he just needs to remember it’s not all about going deep, it’s about efficiency and scoring and getting the backs involved adds another red zone threat. Will admit tho , I don’t trust motor very much in the passing game yet. I also think Daboll need to simplify all the packages in the red zone. No consistent identity and it seems no one is getting consistent reps to become proficient yet. Check out Finas podcast, it’s new, well done. Off tackle with John Fina I think! His rookie year was super bowl 27 in Pasadena. He was only called for 7 holding penalties in 9 years with the Bills, something amazing and proves how good technique is lacking on our current line! It’s a stat he is very proud of !
You are going to get lit up for saying Josh isn’t playing the best he can, but you are exactly right.

Titans have a tough one this week at Indy. I wouldn't be shocked if the Colts win. Lets hope so.
I’ll be rooting hard for them

You can add the Bengals and Ravens into the mix for #1 seed as well.
I didn’t because they have to beat on each other and have a much more difficult schedule ahead, but yes, they could be in the race.
-
End of the day, the W-L record determines seeds in the playoffs, I’ll take 17 soft games and a top seed vs being “tested” and having to face those teams that tested us again in the first round of the playoffs. As it stands right now, it looks like the Bills and the Titans will be fighting for the #1 seed, who’s schedule would you rather have to get that seed??

Flacco should just refuse to go out there, he can retire now and only miss the game checks, bonus has been paid by Philly.

Allen is missing less throws than ever imo…seems like a lot of people on this board haven’t watched other great qbs and they compare josh to some mythical perfect qb that never misses a throw and always finds the open guy. Everyone’s a critic when a play doesn’t work but josh is making tons of plays every week with this so called ‘hero ball’ that you are claiming lost us a game in which our defense surrendered 6 straight scores…what a joke
Did ya read what was right in front of you?
19 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said:I don't agree with this at all. Allen isn't playing well? Really?
Some folks watch Allen through a magnifying glass noting every little thing he does wrong. Then they apparently watch the rest of the NFL through a curtain not seeing that EVERY QB misses open throws; that EVERY QB doesn't see open receivers and that over the course of a game EVERY QB makes plays that contribute to both winning & losing a game.
He is not playing his best, as I said, still good relatively speaking. His only big games have been against trash D’s, so as much as I love the kid, you also have to be objective with it.

Maholmes has accomplished more than most guys will in a career in his first 3 years playing, he’s not playing well at the moment, period. I think a big part of this is simple, when you have a QB on a rookie deal, you have money to put other pieces around them and have a way better team. Now that he’s THE highest paid guy anywhere, the cuts had to come. Guys like Watkins might not be true, elite #1 guys, but you have to defend a guy with elite traits all game, that’s a safety that can’t cheat and you #2 CB working hard all day. Now you throw Hardman to that spot, you just have to keep him in front of you, big difference. That’s ONE example of what happens when you tie up an extra 20M a year in one player. Then they used a 1st round pick on a RB that doesn’t get enough action to justify it (paying attention RB guys?). Another wasted opportunity.
Flip to Allen, honestly, the league has him figured out too and he’s not playing well either. The difference is, the Bills have played a bunch of garbage teams and the Chiefs are struggling more. Allen is still playing good football in relative terms, but he’s not clicking, Ds are forcing him to make more reads and he’s missing A LOT of open guys. He both single handedly kept us in the Tenn game in the 2nd half and proceeded to lose it too. I think Allen is capable of doing more himself than virtually any QB in the league, the problem is when he tries to.
Looking at the long term, both teams have to be thrilled to have these guys. It will only ever be a debate in Buffalo if Allen is better, until he wins. You can see it in the media already, Herbert was the crowned one. Now, you are seeing Burrow get the attention he deserves. That dude is great. They are starting to turn on Maholmes, but if the Bills get to 10-3 or so and Allen is clicking, he’s gonna need non-slip shoes from all the slobbering the media will be doing.

I'd take Chubb 7 days a week and Hunt for that matter. Better than. Anything we have at RB.
The Browns 3rd stringer looks better than anything we have, let’s not pretend that’s a measure of success.
-
If this game isn’t a clear illustration of Mayfield, Hunt and Chubb all being super over rated, nothing will ever prove it to people.

Sanders - 4.49 vs DS 4.66 and Moss 4.7. That is a big difference. And Sanders is listed at 211 which is heavier than both of them.
I wouldn’t have spent a pick on either DS or Moss before the 6th, but that’s just me.

We "got our ass kicked" by those 2 teams by a total of 10 points. The definition doesn't equate to the actual outcome.
Well we all know the box score doesn’t tell the whole story. Maybe I should have said, “were physically abused by” two decent teams?

Dont see any sense in giving up a pick for Sanders when I think the difference between he and Singletary is negligible.
I’m gonna go right ahead and disagree with that, Sanders actually has a top end speed element. Singletary is just not fast.
-
I think I can understand the point that the O seems less fun to watch this year, less gimmicks and less excitement to a certain point. The fact they have gotten their ass kicked against 2decent teams doesn’t help the perception. The biggest issue is right back to the same problems as last year. The OL isn’t very good, the RBs aren’t very good, Allen still isn’t getting time in the pocket consistently and seems to have a little bit of happy feet because of it, oh and Daboll has seemed to come up short in all the big moments since the playoffs last year. All that said, I think most of it is moot if the OL could find a way to block anyone decent.

Hurts is exactly what I thought he was, a RB.
-
I’m ok with not having him, but some of you make it sound like it wouldn’t be a better team with him, that’s just not the case. He’s a great player, he would be an upgrade.
I think the better money would have been on a corner.
Question about the Bass 57 yard FG....

Yep, worst move of the off-season, other than not addressing the G position.
