Really happy to see the organization bring in Bruce for a day and show respect for a Bills great (Bills GOAT?).

Are expectations different than predictions? My expectation (for the Bills) is that the run defense improves to the point where they are not inviting teams to run when games are close or the opponent is chewing clock. My prediction is that this will happen.

I'm very happy with the team. I agree with the Steve Tasker point about simply playing better in the biggest games. Injuries are fate.
Daboll being distracted I think is somewhat likely (but only conjecture). Remember that the Bills suggested a rule change to disallow other teams from approaching assistant coaches during a playoff run (or some such). Surely there was something there to initiate that.

Josh just needs to be better in the playoffs - that's the only next step I need to see from him. Dabol needs to not entertain job offers during championship prep week. The rest of that segment was time I will never get back.

No it is not time to trade Singletary. Moss needs to show his ankle is 100%. Breida needs to show he's productive in the Bill's offense and not just "fast". Singletary needs to show what he's bringing this year while in pads (he's entitled to being part of the "best man" competition). Then when you really know what you have, then and only then, do you make a favorable trade. Trade talk based on the promises of free agents, rookies, hype, .............meh.

$19 million per year for Edmunds on a Bills team that relies on the passing offense to win games? Not seeing it. Depends on what he does this year. I'd rather have another Poyer if I'm paying that.

I don't think there's anything Palmer can do to keep the RB's from dropping the ball or falling down (Singleterry against KC & Baltimore in the playoffs) or the O-line getting out and throwing a block (the last 2 seasons).
100 %. This is a coordinated action for sure. Mostly joking in that Josh will run out of throws to perfect.

Now only the screen pass remains to be mastered.

Hogwash. Cole is the best slot receiver hands down until he's unseated which I don't expect if he chooses to play. Speculation article.....

Ed Oliver has opinions on this point
Good for you, Ed, if these lists are putting a little "***** in your grits" Go Get 'Em!
Yea. Quinnen Williams ought to do it.

Rushing yards before contact is generally considered a good measure of how effective a team’s OL is in run blocking. While the Bills OL seems to be built to pass block well, they do not seem to be doing a good job at all of run blocking. The exception would be if RBs aren’t doing a good job of finding/hitting the holes opened for them.
The link above shows Singletary 3rd worst in the league with 1.5 yards before contact/attempt and Moss 9th worst at 1.8 ybc/a. I think it is unlikely that both are that bad at finding and hitting holes so it looks like it on the OL.
Both backs seem to be excellent at getting yards after contact though. Link Singletary is 2nd with 2.9 and Moss is 13th with 2.4. Looking at those numbers I can certainly see why the Bills didn’t draft a RB, but it makes me wonder why they didn’t try to upgrade the OL, especially the interior.
Good post. I remember Thurman comparing favorably to Emmet in yards after contact while Dallas had arguably the better line.

Cole is still our best slot option possibly short of Diggs which wouldn't happen. Tough. Gets open. Don't really care about the rest.

If he only became a better blocker from this I would consider it time well spent.

Moss had ankle surgery on January 20. Will be interesting to see how he gets worked back in.

Improve the interior of the offensive line so the running backs don't meet the D tackles 1 yard from where they get the ball and the run game might look a lot better
It starts there.

Question (for any that might know):
Are Bills players able to avoid some/all NY State income taxes by being out of (NY) state (and living in Florida) for ~6 months (Feb - July?

Starting five could be Dawkins, Lamp, Morse, Feliciano and Williams. Has Ford really shown anything? They have tried him at three different positions. He could get traded before the season starts.
Agree. This is interesting. The "Bean and McDermott are (blindly) loyal to the guys they draft" narrative does not fit in Ford's case.

This is just an opinion: Only the teams without a top QB worry about having a top running game. It only has to be "good enough" - a credible threat to bring LB's and safeties up to create space for your receivers. Maybe you emphasize RB, but only if they can catch and pass protect as well as they run. If the Bills cared more about running they would have prioritized their G/C positions - not their RBs. The running game will be used when matchups favor it, not because it is part of the Bills' core offensive identify.

I don't know if it's quite the certainty that you say, but I agree in general. I says something about how McDermott wants to play defense in the coming years. He thinks that he can have a winning defense without a traditional power linebacker in the middle. Edmunds is far from the prototypical middle linebacker of the distant or even the recent past. He isn't Dick Butkus or Ray Lewis. That seems to be okay with McDermott.
Shame. The game has changed faster than I wanted it to. Violent running plays resulting in a 4 yard gain just don't make it onto Twitter.

Beasley’s heir apparent?
Perhaps not. Apparently route running not a strength at this time.
Neither will he be his hair apparent. Nobody follows that.

I'm OK with Joe DeLamielleure going off script and declaring an OL.
-
After spending 3rd round picks on RB's in consecutive years, drafting Etienne at 30 suggests that the Bills now believe differently on what their RB needs to be. Hard to believe this is the same group that loved the Gore/DeMarco combination so much.

Can't call him a god. I'm a fan, not a fanboy.
