Who are we competing with for the #1 overall pick?

[HappyDays]

Yeah add the Lions to the list. I guess the upside is if we can get to #2 and the Cards or Lions get the #1 overall they could trade down to a team looking for a QB which means Bosa is still in play.

That may be true but we lack quality and depth all over the field in all 3 phases of the game.

 

This looks like a bottom 3 team to me.

 

To the OP's question: Tampa.  I think they have a good shot at being one of the worst teams this year.

 

Also Denver, Giants, Indy will be bad teams.  Cleveland may not improve that much.

 

 

Tampa??

 

48 points against the Saints Tampa?? With their back up QB.

 

At this rate we will be lucky to rack up 48 points by week 6.

Bills fans need to take some Xanax, it's ONE game!

 

I think this HC doesn't take any crap from anyone and I think some butts will be kicked over this loss. 

 

I predicted this year this team could go 0-8 like the 2010 team and all the optimists said the line would be fine and the defense even better than last year. So what if they do...

There are no elite QBs this year. 

[The Wiz]

At this point, every other team that is 0-1, obviously.

The Browns fired Captain Cheater. How did that work out? 

 

More accurately, we cannot sacrifice our future Franchise QB over a few games in a meaningless season. BE SMART! 

Augie , you’re one of those can’t see the forest for the treees types, aren’t you. 

 

Too many  things can happen and go wrong between now and next year, Allen needs the reps and Our o-line is adequate.

Last year is over. Now we are focusing on the team we have right now.

[Nihilarian]

No other team got beaten 47-3 so the Bills have the lead...if that make anyone happy.

[BubbaT]

Not the Jets

[LittleSammy]

It will come down to us and the Lions. The game we play against each other in December could be for the rights to #1 (or to avoid going 0-16).

Not so fast with those Raiders. Didn’t look too bad there ....

[That's No Moon]

[Chuck Wagon]

Imo we are the worst team in the league by a comfortable margin. Teams like Indy / Detroit / Seattle might be pretty bad but have QBs who can win games. Dallas / Arizona / Tampa have holes but way more skill talent than us.

Titans, Cardinals, Browns, possibly Cowboys

Think its a 2 horse race between us and the Cards.

[BillsFan17]

Lions and cards, maybe the Browns.

Ourselves .... we’re competing with ourselves. Better not screw it up!

Our o line gave Peterman plenty of time yesterday, for the most part. Peterman just hesitated and held onto the ball way too long. When he did throw, Those floaters were terrible. 

 

Please do tell me who was open?

Never discount the Lions

 

The Jets and Browns actually looked like football teams. Even thought I enjoyed Cleveland being the eternal Factory of Sadness and inventing new ways to not win a home game that was handed to them.

Actually, I am very tired, so that’s fair. But I’m not buying your premise. Maybe I can go deeper at another time. I’d take my time with Josh, and not care what anybody else says. Keep your view down the road, not at your feet. 

 

I agree with Augie......long view not short view.  Keep the kid alive to play the important games...meanwhile trot Peterman out there after his high level meetings and let him take him beating....

[aceman_16]

Hoping New England.

if indeed we get the number 1 pick, it would be nice if we found out whether or not Allen is going to be our franchise qb. that knowledge could potentially impact what we do with our draft position.

was watching the highlights this morning and the wife remarked "Darnold looks pretty good throwing the ball".   

 

Yeah...he's got all damn day to sit back there and wait for someone to get open!      I'd like to see our guy get a solid 5 count before hitting a wr down the sideline too.

I just don't see how a team with the offensive talent that Tampa has is in the race to be honest unless the O-Line completely crumbles (and it looked legitimately good against New Orleans). Tampa has one of the best receiving corps in the NFL, two good TEs, and a north-south runner in Barber. And Jameis was quietly very good last season; he was ranked among the most accurate passers in the NFL when you adjust for how deep he throws the ball on average.
