NFL. com's Hanzus ranks Bills as #1 team in offseason after Miller signing

Dan Hanzus elevates the Bills from previous #3 ranking to #1.  Rams drop from 1 to 2, Chiefs from 2 to 3.  The "All in" mantra is strong with this one.  I would feel better with a true stud CB opposite Tre - likely through draft.  Also need a speed WR to play outside and a RG - I am hoping it will be Bates.

We had a great off-season last year too.  I thought Beane did a great job bring back his own guys in Milano, Wallace, and Williams and of course extending Allen.  He upgraded WR with Sanders.  He also got some gusy to take pay cuts. 

This off-season so far looks even better.  I don't worship at the altar of Beane like some others on this board and disagree with some moves, but I can't fault any move so far this off-season.  I may have brought back Sanders over Crowder and may have tried to keep Wallace for the small dollars he signed in Pittsburgh.  But assuming they draft a CB high I'm absolutely fine with the direction so far. 

 

I just hope he has the right coaching staff to get the job done.

A classic moment.

I agree, it’s important that McDermott learns and grows, much the same as he expects of his players.

I will reserve judgement on this point until I see if the right side of our OL is functional, and we have at least 3 very good CB's as well as a decent 3rd. Right now those are 2 cavernous holes in this roster that have yet to be addressed. We need to sign at least 1 FA at CB. I'm thinking a guy like Poole or someone of his caliber could come at a good price if he's healthy and motivated. I'd rather not sign a CB into his 30's, but we may have no choice.

I mean it is a fun joke but there is something to it, it all builds on itself, you got to be aiming to win the offseason, preseason, regular season, and post season. All anyone will really remember is the last one and some of the second to last, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think they all are important.

we dropped 17 players from 2020 to 2021.  25% to 33% turnover seems to be the norm these days

Not a single person on that out list would I want back (in a starting role).  I don’t get the love for Levi, dude gets burned more than Hellen Kellers toast.  Everyone else is non starting quality.

Cutting dead weight.

Yup...very noteworthy that I'd assume most of us look at the list of outgoing players (Trubisky as a back-up aside) and would agree with you.   I know that I do.

Good stuff but nobody cares about paper tigers or offseason champions this time of year.

 

Media love was off the charts at times last year as well heading into the season.

Well they actually had something to write about that they meant instead of blowing sunshine up everyone's ass.
