  1. Is 2023 THE absolute year we go all in with no other options to compliment Diggs?  If not (as in we believe in an extended Superbowl window), then let Diggs and maybe Beasley be our older veterans while we use our draft capital to stock the youth pipeline.

    Buffalo is a pass first team.  No matter how much they want a different mentality or would like a better commitment to it.  Push comes to shove big time game it's on Allen to win it.  Get him guys who are better pass blockers than run blockers.  Get him guys who can get open and catch the ball.  Thats it.  Invest more money and resources into the offense and use some good scheme and patch work on the defense.

    Cover 1 seemed to like his pass blocking.  You're spot on IMO in that the Bills simply don't insist on premier run blocking due to who they are.  Average pass blocking at an affordable price - that's their way.  That doesn't mean that I don't want a more dominating and complete guard.  Now I'm wondering if they take an interior O lineman with an early pick or if they're done?

    Generally would agree.. but maybe they move him to C next year and cut bait with Morse ..?

     


     

     

    That would make versatility a good thing.  Have to plan for losing Morse - too many shots to the head.

  4. If we're going to overpay a bit, I'd prefer it be for offense.  What does a defense have to do anymore?  Get a couple turnovers and prevent 2-3 drives from scoring.  If you can do that without paying your two starting LB's over $25 million combined, then don't.  Congrats to Tremain though for being a gentleman here and representing both himself and the Bills with class.

    If anything we should be doing the same exact thing that Minnesota is doing, cutting old, over the hill kind of players.
     

    Let’s not spend big money on their castoffs. If Buffalo wanted to spend money on a FA vet safety they would’ve just kept Poyer.

     

    And I know this may not be a popular take but I think Buffalo should dump Micah Hyde too. I realize that I’m going to get torched for this and I mean torched but the dude is 32 coming off a neck injury, jus’ sayin’.

    The Bills will avoid a rookie safety tandem IMO.

  6. Worrying about "what if" Ed becomes great if he leaves Buffalo is a paralyzing thought. Unless he's worth 5th year option money I'd move him.

    Joking aside, can anybody tell me what word he misspelled when he wrote "Ion"?

    So, I'm thinking this, "any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges".

  7. This is why I'm perplexed we don't talk more seriously about the Bills center position as if one can just assume Mitch has it taken care of. 6 concussions in 8 years. One more and we look a bit like the Dolphins rolling out Tua yet one more time.

    So I like Ike. I am not willing to give up on Spencer unless I get a can't pass it up opportunity. I am less excited by Bates. I think he should be in a competition for a job. Their priority should be getting the best FA guard available and work it out from there.

    Agree.  I would add that the likelihood of Morse going down for an extended period is high so it's really about starter level replacements for both the guards and center.

  9. Iff:

    • he is not identified as one of the core players that you MUST have to win a Super Bowl, and
    • his projected performance is not expected to meet his market value, and
    • you can get a draft pick that allows you to get a player of the same value as a DT who doesn't get to the QB, is good against the run, but is otherwise undersized, then

    Yes.   

     

    Why might this not happen?  Beane/McDermott's loyalty to "their" players. 

    • It's not about Frazier not being an above average DC, it's about what happens in those franchise steering defining moments.
    • Interesting point about underperforming D linemen.  I've assumed that Epenesa, Boogie, and Oliver are exactly what we see, but perhaps there is a bit more that a different DC and line coach can "Granato" out of them.
    • Sal/WGR feel McDermott will be calling the D next year on game day.  I'm fine with that.  We'll see if McDermott can adapt better to individual teams and plays.  Will McDermott be quicker to implement Milano to blitz the gap or move up coverage from 10 yards back when the opponent only needs 6 yards for a 1st down?  Its' those kinds of things I'll watch.  Frazier set a pretty high bar for regular season.

    What is it they say about never believing anything a GM says leading up to the draft?

     

    Beane is playing poker. He's not showing his cards.

    Yes.  Expressing any disappointment in Davis tells the team drafting near your position to take the receiver you want before you get a chance.
