One more good FA class and Draft class. holes I see not in order DE - Less if they re-sign Lawson TE - like Knox Potential but need more (can be less if we get a legit WR) WR - Like Brown as No2. Beasley in Slot. Need a legit top end talent and a great draft to find one OL - Still can have upgrades here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we will get to the super bowl but if you get to the playoffs you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ready to take that final step with a few additions and growth. The Bills remain a dangerous team that is capable of beating anyone. "Capable" is the word! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: Agree. Primary needs are a RT, DE, second RB, and a big WR. Daboll is a problem, too. He should be replaced but not with someone who will implement a whole new offensive system; just tweak what is there and go toward quicker passes. Add TE to that group. Knox is decent, but is inconsistent. IMO, Knox would be a good #2 TE. Outside of Knox, the Bills have gotten next to nothing from the TE group this season.

It just hasn't worked out real well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox just needs more experience I hope a full offseason with the team and him and Allen will have a much better dynamic I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has different speed. But Foster can do the same. No need to have them both active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more good FA class and Draft class. Thought the same. They are learning to win also. The game seemed a little too big for them at times . That includes Josh, Beasely ( still don’t love him), Effing Knox with another key drop on an easy ball like Beasely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not the very Top Tier, "playoffs are a given unless injuries and such" level yet, but who would have though the Giants would win the SB in the year the Cheats were 18-0? Just get in. But yeah, one or two more year of good drafts and salary cap space... oh yeah! Still, let's win N O W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game could've gone either way. they outplayed us on offense. They made some plays on third down to keep drives going. We didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 They are just as likely to take a step back this offseason as they are to take the next step forward. They had an easy schedule this year and haven't beaten anyone better then them yet. They need to take advantage of this year and go far, then hope they make the right moves this offseason to keep things going. Every team in the offseason is looking to get better and many will. Seeing them keep it close against one of the leagues best teams is good, but it means nothing after this season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Right now I can see the Bills being able to upset the pats IF the defence can play harder in the 4th quarter and keep them from trying to come back (hoping the Bills go into the 4th having a lead..... They beat the earlier season Titans which appear to be a different team then the new Tannehill Titans Rams an GB would be favorites to beat the Bills, but have the occasional bad weeks that they could be beaten, same with the Vikings. The rest would probably take a fluke or a really bad game by them to lose to the Bills right now. I would almost want to add the Bears to that list, If Mitch has turned the corner, they have a defence that makes them a very good team. Going into next season though, who knows what could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Allen is has some developing yet to do before he approaches his ceiling. The Bills have another great cap situation and a surplus of draft picks. Their talent will be upgraded again next season. I think the Bills could win a playoff game in January, but I doubt they'll reach the Super Bowl. I expect they will be a top 5 team in the league next year and it looks like they have a good shot at dethroning the Patriots in the AFC East.

Well I hope the talent is upgraded by more then just the draft. So far they haven't hit it big with their Big FA signings (Star, Morse) but have found a couple of lesser FAs in Brown and Beasley that have helped.

I think this is the year it can be done, there are very few 'unbeatable' teams out there right now, and they just finished playing one. If KC is healthy, they may become one too. But outside of that, the rest of them are all beatable, the problem is that the Bills are just as beatable as the others.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far they haven't hit it big with their Big FA signings (Star, Morse) but have found a couple of lesser FAs in Brown and Beasley that have helped. In my post, I mentioned Buffalo's upcoming cap advantage as well as their surplus of draft picks. My assumption is they will add quality free agents. I'm not impressed by splash free agent signings as they are usually over priced. Brown and Beasley were great adds last off season. Ideally, most of a team's long term core players will come via the draft, but there is always room for a few long term pickups. Otherwise, free agency is also good for short term role players. For example, Buffalo have six offensive linemen who weren't here a year ago. Only Morse has a long term deal. The rest are on 1 or 2 year deals. Buffalo can retain some of them if they want. Feliciano seems pretty useful for his position flexibility for instance. The Bills may draft one and sign one who is a little higher graded lineman to a 3 or 4 year deal and start to build some long term stability. They can get rid of the weaker links in the group without a cap penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
