  1. There has to be a blend at each position group 1. You don't know what you have in a rookie. A vet's book on capabilities, ceiling and floor is pretty much written 2. Vet brings knowledge and experience to each group While Beane did go heavy on vets earlier, he needs to blend more youth and bring down the average age of each group.
  2. So if we pick anything than the best WR left at our spot, we are highly unlikely to then trade up from Rd 2 to jump the Chiefs who will also be looking to draft a WR. Do we really want the best available WR at 32 to go to the Chiefs? This year, with a not premium supporting cast, they won the SB. We have to get out of this D mindset. Need to out gun the Chiefs. Don't over think this, Beane
  3. Which of these have the best hands to catch out of the backfield? That and a ~$1.5MM AAV price tag will be a good indication of who we will sign.
  4. Why can't we enjoy watching Josh Allen and win a Superbowl? We all want to win it all, at least once in our lifetimes. That is irrespective of enjoying an Allen led offense
  5. We have to look for 1. Upgrade to Brown 2. Another C/G to eventually replace Morse On offense, the above 2 plus at least 2 WRs are adequate for the offense next season
  6. Agreed on more weapons on O. I also think the strategy should be to load up on weapons to just score a lot of points. The D then can play a different game. With JA at the helm this team more than any in the past should aim for all sorts of offensive records and points. Naah. Not on board with this plan no matter how can't miss he looks like. Better strategy to take two in the top 3. But I also think another vet WR is needed on this team. Harty , Davis and Sherfield can all go
  7. The TOP was very high for us. The issue, v as has been discussed ad nauseum, is that we didn't end too many drives in TDs. Even with D talent, we have shown to be incapable of stopping them in the playoffs. That's why I think the solution is to load up on O and just score a lot. You can bet that Reid will draft WRs in the upcoming draft and attempt to stay ahead. We have to leap frog, not just keep trying to catch up
  8. Very excited about the future of the O with him. Especially if the team adds a couple of good WRs in this off-season. And no discussion of greatest Bills TEs is complete without a mention of Lonnie Johnson
  9. That is hitting real low 😃
  10. Happy for Dorsey but his hire surprises me.
  11. Kudos for injecting the enthusiasm here. I admit I am still not feeling too great after losing yet again to the Chiefs in the playoffs. But good to read your post and I hope this offseason brings the changes needed for us to finally get over the hump Of that list, I would like to bring Floyd back especially if we make the tough (and correct) decision to let Miller go.
  12. Not to derail this discussion but yes we need to surround Josh with more talent than he has. One could think that we couldn't sign DHop because of cap constraints - one player who could have changed the ultimate outcome of the Bills season . Again, I don't want to hijack this thread. But paying Tua will affext their ability to get the level of talent they have now. But Dolphins need to pay him. He is a good guy and a good enough QB
  13. Esp with a Superbowl win on his resume .... 😁
  14. Also known as stubborn and bone headed. This isnt a linear, if-then-else situation. He was wrong to go for it instead of taking the 3 at that point. The margin for error was very slim. He cost his team the game
  15. Campbell deserves to take it badly. His in game decisions were the major cause of their loss. I have no sympathy for him.
  16. Very sorry to hear this. These are tough times for you and your family.
  17. Brady would have won Superbowls but you cannot deny that he won more Superbowls because of BB's coaching. I remember several close games which were won by your team due to tight game management
  18. 🙏 Best wishes for her recovery and strength to the rest of the family as you all deal with it
  19. He has something to prove. That he can win a Superbowl with another team. Similar to Tom Brady. If BB coaches even 2-3 years and wins a SB, he will ride off into the sunset and not have "he could only win with Brady" on his legacy
  20. That's why consultants in the world have a job. To tell the owner/company what they are unable to see because it's too close to their nose
  21. Yes, it is troubling but again, the offseason will tell if he was somewhat injured to limit his production. If we really get a stud WR in the draft, the pressure and coverage on Diggs will go down and we will have a more diversified WR group. I still value Diggs for his drive, experience and as a mentor
  22. Here is my plan: Keep Diggs - I think he was battling injury. He is still a viable force and a mentor for a draftee Draft one in Rd 1 Shakir as #3 Round off with a second tier FA Look at progress of Shorter and Shavers Another lower (Rd 5+ pick) We cannot just depend on the draft. We need at least one FA, maybe 2 to round off the roster
  23. We are looking for a coach to take the team over the hump. If a proven coach is not available, you stick with McD. Because choosing an upcoming HC can back fire and the team can get worse. By the time that happens, another 25% of Allen's career would be gone.
  24. That is fine if our D is good. I am pretty sure there was a deliberate strategy to keep the Chiefs O off the field (Like the Giants did with the Bills in the Superbowl). The intent also was to end those long drives in TDs as often as possible. This was a good plan given how undermanned we were on D. Mahomes marching down the field proved it. The issue was that we didn't have the reliable and multiple weapons to end in TDs. McBeane should have learned this lesson by now - you have to out gun the likes of the Chiefs and not build a multi layered D to stop them. With Reid and Mahomes, the Chiefs will find different ways to score TDs. We just have to be built to score more
