Ute fan as well and I like Bishop a lot but I don't see him making it to the 3rd round. He is an incredibly smart player in the same mold as Bernard, always around the ball and has great instincts.

Thanks for putting down on paper what I have been thinking/feeling over the past few days! Your change in perspective on the Bills over the years is very similar to mine. I do feel strongly that the Bills are missing an experienced and innovative offensive mind to take this offense to the next level and to further develop Josh. While I agree we are short another game break receiver, I do believe that we had enough offensive pieces to win that game. It's how we used them that resulted in the loss. Scoring just 7 points in the 2nd half killed us. The Chiefs made the right adjustments and we didn't - simple as that. As far as the defense goes, I am sick of the bend but don't break philosophy, but maybe that's what McD felt he needed to do because he was short on talent due to injuries and was just trying to use what he had the best he could. We had Oliver and Jones and they still ran the ball up the gut on us at will during the second half. With Milano, Bernard, Tre, Benford, and a healthy Douglas and Von on the field for that game I believe the results would have been different. But I have to give enormous credit to McD and team for the defensive effort based on the injuries. I know that sounds like a cop out but no other final 8 team lost the same number of starters on defense that we did. I would love to see Babich get the DC nod and while I like the run we made at the end of the year, I am just not sure about Brady. That's a very tough decision for McD/Beane. We absolutely have to have a more imaginative and balanced offense for the next 5 years in order to help Josh and take the best advantage that we can of his remaining years with us.

The one Sherfield drop was obvious PI that wasn't called. His right arm was being pinned by the corner. No question Jones should have been doubled up.

This game better not come down to Bass.

Got to have points on this drive.

Wind can't be that bad

Great play call -

Have got to put a spy on Lamar.

If they can stop the self-inflicted mistakes they might have a shot.

That's the likely strategy on their part.

And most importantly at 100%. We have to hope that we can avoid any more in-game injuries, particularly at LB and Corner.

Maybe so, but I'd say it all depends on how we lose.

If anybody has an elective surgery scheduled for early Monday AM, you might want to push it out a month.

Sort of sounds like a personal injury law firm, and in fact these two have been doling out personal injuries for the Bills since 2017. Signed as free agents on the same day in March 2017, these two have been so solid and dependable you almost take them for granted each year. They both have lost a step or two, but they know this defense inside and out and I imagine their leadership and experience in the locker room and on the field has been a huge help to guys like Taron Johnson and Cam Lewis. Romo was raving about them on Sunday and I think he really understands the impact they have on the game. Poyer has a year left on his deal but Hyde is a FA and I suspect Hyde may retire given his neck injury history. If we keep Poyer, his cap hit is $7.4m and his dead cap hit is $2m. That's a tough decision for Beane, because what value do you put on keeping Poyer around another year for his experience and leadership in helping the transition to a new set of safeties. I for one have really enjoyed watching these two play and will miss their impact on the Bills defense, but I suspect that a lot of opposing quarterbacks aren't going to miss them much.

We have a league leading medical staff.

Outside of the fact that they played consistently good football throughout the year, their amount of playoff experience and their overall coaching experience gives them a big edge over the Texans going into the game. But you have to play the game and the young, upstart Texans could pull off a monster upset. It's when nobody gives you a chance that sometimes teams can be the most dangerous.

That's way to black and white. He has a role in the offense and has been valuable both as a pass catcher and a blocker. But we have also seen the emergence of of Shakir and even Harty, not to mention Kincaid, so I think that there's less of a need to rely on Gabe and his role doesn't need to be as big. I just hope that Brady keeps throwing multiple formations and moving the ball around to keep defenses off balance.

Blowout losses in games neither team looked ready to compete. The Eagles were figured out, (and they forgot how to tackle), down the stretch and their new OC was in over his head, much like Ken Dorsey. It seemed on many replays where Hurts was sacked, they had four receivers just running straight down the field. It seemed TB was giving them the middle of the field and they just never adjusted. Outside of the Bills game, I had the most fun watching the Boys get run over. It was a stunning home loss for that franchise. Will be very interesting to see what Jerry does with McCarthy.

They can’t tackle; secondary is a joke and their OC is horrible.

Eagles secondary is ridiculous.

The Eagles OC makes Dorsey look like Sean Mcvay.

Great stop by TB. Vita Vea.

His experience is really valuable.

Dude has moves!

False start not called again.
