NoSaint Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think next year will be about adding a couple mid tier vet free agents - and then straight bpa draft. If that means creating a great receiving corp, or stacking our pass rush, or a secondary that will shut people down or a line that'll help us walk up and down the field...... A couple vets to fill holes and then we find out what the football gods give our team as an identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufffan031 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I have said plenty of times, with as much as EJ likes to check it down he would thrive with a game changing tight end. That's why I think tight end is the biggest need. It could change the dynamic of our offense. However Khalil Mack would be a great addition especially if we could pick up Orakpo in free agency. Having him on the other side of Mario with Dareus and Kyle in the middle and Lawson, Kiko and Mack at linebacker would be a nasty front seven Edited November 6, 2013 by bufffan031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 UB's next 4 games (5 if they make the MAC championship) will be televised on one of the ESPN networks (2, U or 3). It's an opportunity to get familiar with LB Khalil Mack and see if the guy is a legit first rounder. (Imagine Mack along side Kiko!) Tonight: vs Ohio, ESPN2 8pm Tue 11/12: @ Toledo, ESPNU/3 7:30pm Tue 11/19: @ Miami(OH), ESPN2/U 8pm Fri 11/29: vs Bowling Green, ESPNU/3 1:30pm. A list of UB and NCAA records Mack could break this year. PTR About time Jace Amaro I think you are starting to like me I like Mac a lot but we could also grab shayne skov or Michael sams later on to try and pick up a bigger need in the first. Skov is a stud would be a great fit for us Eric Ebron from North Carolina is the TE who would make this offense complete, besides 2 more linemen lol I heard incognito will be available Another point of view would be not which TE can we get, but who can we grab to neutralize opposing TEs. That seems to be more of a problem for us rather than giving EJ another receiver (when it seems he has plenty and Woods should be a stud next season). um Kiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills actually statistically are one of the top teams at shutting down TEs in 2013. Other than Jimmy Graham. Who is a freak. The Bills have held opposing TEs to pretty quite stat lines this year.

eball Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Eric Ebron from North Carolina is the TE who would make this offense complete, besides 2 more linemen lol Ebron is an absolute beast. Anyone who doesn't know about him should go find some highlights or watch UNC the rest of the year. Even though their best passing QB (Renner) is now out for the season after injuring his shoulder last Saturday, Ebron will still be a primary target. He just abuses people. Already broke his own Carolina season record for catches, and there are four games to go! Great win for UB last night -- and they're on ESPNU again next Tuesday. Hopefully this exposure leads to some recruiting gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 UB is just mauling teams right now...very fun team to watch with some good talent... Killed Ohio last night 30-3, in what was supposed to have been an evenly matched game... In their last six games they have outscored opponents 218-53, including twice where they held their opponents to 3 points and one shutout. They have also score 30+ points in every game, including 40+ three times... Khalil Mack is simply unblockable, even when they are triple teaming him he is still making plays...

As much as Mack is the star of UB last night was the B O Show. Brandon Oliver embarrassed Ohio's defense. 35/259/2 TDs. That might have been his best game yet. The guy got injured a lot in his career. But he looks amazing healthy. PTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Quinn was an awful coach but it takes time to get your recruits into the program. I gotta admit I was very wrong on Quinn. I love the new uniforms and I kinda get the whole New York thing on them (trying to make UB the state university of NY is probably a decent idea). He is building the foundation of a big time program (though the fans aren't there yet). It's pretty exciting. Along with Mack, I definitely see oliver and Neutz at the very least being in a NFL camp. All Neutz does is get open and catch touchdowns. UB is 7-2 with their only 2 losses against undefeated top 5 teams. Wow. Maybe the Bills can actually make hte playoffs one of these years.

mannc Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If the season ended today we would pick 9. Mack would most definitely still be available. A game changing TE would be preferred but are there any out there worthy of a top 10 pick? That would be pretty rare This is the year for us to draft TE, but I agree that top10 is too early. Maybe we can trade down again and pick up an other extra second rounder. Come to think of it, I would do that every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Friday November 29th UB vrs Bowling Green will likely decide the MAC East. Bowling green also has an excellent team and beat Miami by 40 pts this week. November 29th Rich Stadium a 1:30 start. Tickets are dirt cheap bring the whole family. This is an opportunity to show the Nation that Buffalo can be a big time college football town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 just a question..would you rather have Mack next to Kiko or would you rather have a wr corp of Mike Evans, Woods, S.Johnson and M. Goodwin? I would like your WR corp, but I'm not sure the TE you have slips to the second round. There are some great D players coming out in the draft this year. Also, how is Lee from USC doing? He could be good reunited with Woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Their wins aren't against good teams, though. Last night was. Ohio is good. Bowling Green is the next big test.

1B4IDie Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I suppose. The Saints game just left a horrible stain on my mind. Yeah But Jimmy Graham is going to be categorized as a WR when he hits FA. When it comes to his franchise tag designation. He breaks the mold and the put him all over the field. As opposed to Gronk who the Pats put out wide now and again but he does block as a TE and run traditional TE routes more exclusively. He is just a beast when healthy. I think Fantasy Football stats are relevant for this point, The Bills Defense is the 6th best in the league in defending TEs from getting yards and TD (which is what Fantasy Football points measure.)

ChevyVanMiller Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It's hard to qualify it as a "great start" when you lose 70-13. Baylor is killing everyone they play and, imho, they are the best team in the country right now. UB (sorry, New York State University) did what great mid-majors are supposed to do: learn from their licking by the big boys and use that knowledge to come back and crush in their conference games. So yeah, I classify what they've had as a great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
