I don’t think we are getting any change in philosophy on defense. McD and Frazier have the same defensive philosophy.

I know that this is a common theory, but in my opinion it ignores a mountain of evidence. For example, the Bengals walked down the field and scored a TD, and were carving up chunks of yards again on their second drive before Hamlin went down. The Dolphins gave us all we could handle the week before, and that was with a 3rd string QB (yes, I know the Dolphins offense did very little, but the game was still very tight). We lost to Zach Wilson and the Jets too. I think it was more than an aberration.

The Bills have been regular-season-good for many seasons now. But we haven’t been able to break through in the playoffs. We got blown out by the Bengals in the playoffs by 17 points. Some argue that we were simply out of mental steam due to the Hamlin situation. However, we also did not look good in the limited action we saw of the first Bengals matchup (pre-Hamlin injury). The Bengals walked down the field and scored a TD, and they were walking down the field again when the injury occurred. I think we can all admit that despite our record, the second half of last season wasn’t very comfortable. We lost to the Zach Wilson led Jets. We lost to the Vikings. We barely squeaked by the Dolphins at home. We needed a heroic last second throw and catch by Allen and Diggs to beat the Lions. So here is my question - Is what we’ve done this off-season been enough to bridge the gap between the Bills and Bengals/Playoff Chiefs (playoff Chiefs are different than regular season Chiefs)? Added: Dalton Kincaid (love this) O’Cyrus Torrence (love this) Connor McGovern Taylor Rapp Deonte Harty Trent Sherfield Damien Harris Micah Hyde comes back Lost: Tremaine Edmunds Isaiaah McKenzie Roger Saffold (addition by subtraction) Jake Kumerow Cole Beasley Jamison Crowder Devin Singletary I think we did get better. Kincaid brings something to this offense we have literally never had before. Ever. We re-tooled 40% of our o-line with McGovern and Torrence, and removing Saffold is addition by subtraction by itself. I don’t have much faith in Harty and Sherfield, but I refuse to believe they’ll give us any less than Crowder and McKenzie did last season. What’s your thoughts?

Mahomes, by far. He was usually listed around the 30 to 40th best player on the board in most rankings. Chiefs took him in the top 15.

Cole did not have a good season. One of the worst ranked linemen in the NFL and only started because the Pats had no one else. Pats fans couldn’t stand him.

Beane also said they’ll look at what it takes to get Dorian at MLB. But then said what they always say about it taking a lot to learn the defense. I’ve never seen a team that thinks their defense is so difficult to learn as the Bills do. They had the same excuse for Marlowe last year. And he played in the defense before!

Love Kincaid and Torrence. But I think we’re at the point where Beane shouldn’t be allowed to choose the 3rd round picks.

Has there ever been a Bills player you didn’t like?

Yes. It is. Completely irresponsible and quite frankly the same thing you’re accusing him of (scumbag behavior) to accuse someone of terrible things without evidence.

Which is why it was so odd that McBeane was so enamored with Star.

As for Houston, I have zero faith in Stroud so i’m not as big of a fan of their draft. In fact, if I was Houston I would have taken Richardson. Higher bust potential, but also HOF ceiling.

Shocked at the number of posters saying the Lions had a great draft. The Eagles absolutely crushed the draft. Jets had an odd draft too. Loved the Bills first two picks. Extremely happy they didn’t take a tiny WR.

… on the practice squad.

then you shouldn't have said anything in the first place. It's beyond irresponsible to hint at someone being a terrible human being while simultaneously refusing to give reasons for saying so.

Beane essentially said "the rest of the players in this draft kina suck - give me 2024 picks".

You're right. I think it's just shocking to many fans to think that the Bills actually meant that Klein, Bernard and Dodson would be legit defensive starters. Kinda sucks.

Who is he active over? Diggs Davis Hardy Shakir Sherfield

I forgot McKenzie is gone. Yeah, he’s a lock.

Sounds like he and Gabe will get along well.

You called it!

Probably shouldn’t. He’s been a mediocre drafter. Though I did love the first 2 picks this year.

He’s way too small to be a MLB.

If you google a players name and “scouting report”, they are often one of the top results. They scout every player (or nearly every player).

You seem to dislike anyone who dares say anything the Bills do is wrong.

No. They’re writers for The Draft Network.
