To answer your main question, I would say that I am underwhelmed by Basham, but I wouldn't just give up on him, which I'm sure many people on this board want to do. I'm of the belief that players need to develop instead of expecting instant gratification, like many fans here do. Let's remember that this is Basham's second year in the league, so he may not be fully there yet. Yes, it does look bad when a player like Kingsley Jonathan comes on the scene from out of nowhere and makes an immediate impression to fans, and that is a very bad look for Basham. I think that we just have to be patient with certain players. Which is probably unrealistic, because there is almost no patience on this board. Also, look at Epenesa. He's not dominant, but he's making more impactful plays in his third year. Who's to say Basham can't do the same thing?

I think this is a solid draft, overall. Like the O-Lineman picks, and Antonio Johnson would be a good addition. I don't see the Bills drafting 2 more Linebackers, nor do I see them going defense with our first two picks.

I like both of these guys. They were the reason to watch Maryland football. Not first round talented, but definitely day 2 picks. Keep an eye on these two.

"Nate-Dawg!"

Amazing that this guy got a second head coaching job. Of course the Raiders front office hasn't done anything smart in a long time.

What I mean is how Josh Allen has played. I'm not saying he's having a terrible year. Most of it has been his decision making. Some of his interceptions have looked really bad, and that wasn't the case last year. I think that some of it has to do with play calling. Our short yardage pass options appear to only be running backs instead of wide receivers. I am not complaining about Josh Allen at all. I think he is having a very good year, and he is largely responsible for the Bills record.

It's true that Josh Allen is not having the same year as he did as last year, and if that merits criticism, fine. There are people out there who do give the Bills praise as a team too. The thing is that when Allen makes a mistake it is highlighted and is pointed out every which way possible. Front page story. Mahomes makes a mistake, and it's posted along with the liquor ads. They don't have to gush over Allen and the Bills, just keep it even. They are not the only team and player that has made mistakes this year.

Well, Nick doesn't want to present ALL of the facts.

I'll put it this way. If Josh Allen played for the Patriots*, the sports media would be bowing down before him.

I agree that they don't doubt his abilities. I get the feeling that they don't envision him being a championship QB.

We need help at Safety too. What is the best way to approach this? Should we look at free agency for WR or S, and then look to the draft for O-Linemen? I get the impression that the Bills will do all they can to retain Tremaine Edmunds. Jordan Poyer might be kept, but I doubt he gets a long term contract. We will need to get someone to eventually replace Mitch Morse.

Paging, Tom Brady...

What a heartwarming story. God bless Sha'kyra, and Joey.

Come on, don't we all want to see Carolina take down Tampa Bay?

Can we please get this thread pinned?

Broncos had zero motivation in beating the Rams. Playing against the Chiefs, the Broncos will want to give it their all. Because they are division foes and you want to play great against one of the top teams in the country.

Sure. I hear has high energy and is filled with enthusiasm. He can be our hype man.

This guy was the real problem, moreso than Wilson.

It was a mistake that he left Brigham Young for the 2021 draft. He would have benefitted from one more season in college. I know his draft stock was high, and he was set to make millions, and I'm sure that was why he declared. He does have talent, and if he really wants this, he needs to change himself and get with the right program.

Wow, that would really suck for Wilson, if it came true. Going from one terrible organization to one of the worst head coaches in the league.

Yes, and we need someone young to prep for when they leave us.

Prepare to be pissed. We need help at Safety.

Point taken, yet let's also remember the organization that Brock Purdy is with compared to Wilson.

Disagree. Wilson has talent, he just needs the right guidance and coaching. Being drafted by one of the worst run organizations in the NFL did not help.
