DCofNC Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 1 hour ago, MAJBobby said: Sure I can play hindsight.  Basham, Yep I probably would take Creed Humphrey over Basham at this point, granted that means Morse would be gone so younger at the position but likely a wash in terms of improvement on the OL.  Epenesa I dont think I would take Ezra Cleveland over him though. Oliver is a Top 10 DT Milano is also a Top LBer you hear it very week  Glenn is not a Bill but you are correct here Show me one reason to believe Oliver is a top 10 DT, he’s not the clear cut best DT on his own team FFS.  My bad, Glenn was better than Dawkins and we still don’t have a top 10 LT.  Milano has an argument to be in the top 10 at his position, but he’s out plenty so there’s no way you can call him irreplaceable, he has to be replaced in season all the time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I argued with a few of you a couple weeks ago that we are not the most "complete" team in the league. I got laughed at. But I think there are a mix of things going wrong with this team and instead of arguing over positional value I think we should be looking at the bigger picture. So I will break down every starting position and will break down some play calling decisions as well. This post I am more evaluating groups rather than individual players.  QB No issues. Josh is going to have games he struggles and when he does you hope the rest of your team will pick up.  Playmakers. RB's WR's TE's. I right now have no problem with our RB's. TE we are average at worst, and I am ok with that. I think for the line we have and getting making deadline changes we are fine. WR position is become more of an issue for me, and we need to get better here. Davis has had 1 great game last year in playoffs and has not lived up to what we thought he would turn out to be. Davis needs more time to just get better. Though Diggs has some breakaway speed, I feel we are missing that deep threat speed on the other side that is going to make safety's scratch their head and wonder what way to cover deep and when someone does break it deep it either takes to long of a progression or the biggest problem on the team lets us down.  Offensive Line. I swear 2-3 of these guys do not start on a large chunk of teams in the NFL. There is a balance of great playmakers and an offensive line. For me the right recipe for having a bad offensive line is a good recipe for Receivers... Example Diggs, Smoke and Beasley. Because we no longer have that mix of speed, short distance rout running and long-distance rout running... the line is going to look ever worse than it is. May I remind you of a dude named Peyton Manning. Till he had a healthy mix of solid offensive line and weapons they struggled. 3 out of his first 4 years he could not win more than 10 games a year cause of a horrible offensive line. This line is HORRIBLE outside of our LT and C.  Offensive Coaching. This is borderline annoying for me because I really like our OC but for every great play call he is making a drive, I feel he is making 2 knucklehead calls a drive. Draw plays on second down. Second down and long you can just tell a short play call was made. I feel JA is trying to hard on drives that do not have a chance. Settling for FG's in the redzone instead of forcing the QB into making long play decisions against teams like the Jets is bad decision. Josh is not god. There has to be situational awareness in our play calling and I feel we lack it at times.   Offensive side of the ball. New OC, Bad mix of playmakers to offensive line ratio. The line can't be fixed but there are some fixes in our future. I have been an OBJ hater for years BUT... If he still has that amazing straight-line speed and solid rout running IF he passes all health concerns. To make up for things I think we need to look at Hines and Cook more going deep routs and grabbing Safety's attention more often even if as a decoy for shorter stuff to be wider open, then so be it. DONT hit the panic button yet. (next year if we do not invest heavy on offensive line in draft ima gunna be upset) (and not mid round picks either....)  Defensive side of the ball. I am not going to reach into this "bag of tricks" we all darn well know if healthy we the best defensive unit in the league. PERIOD. We have been forced to ask backups to do way to much for 7 games. We need Tre back... We need Milano back. We need Poyer back. End of story. The pressure put on this DC do to injuries, is immense.  In short? we can rip on every position being replaceable or replaceable all day long. Welcome to loosing Mondays. I normally avoid the forums like the plague on days like this but,,, I just wanted to get this out there and thought this was the best thread to do so.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Junction Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said:  >.>  I think i've been clear in other threads he's played horribly. Let me phrase this in a way you'll more easily understand:  Do you think the offense would function more efficiently with a better #2 wideout and a competent running game so that 17 doesn't have to be perfect every week?  Or, do you think it's more valuable to continue to waste capital on DE/DT/CB year in and year out?  I’d lean towards the issue being that no one is stepping up as the third receiving option. Diggs and Davis used to get shut down for stretches during games, but Beasley and Knox stepped up and won their 1 on 1’s to either move the chains or hit a big play. This season Allen has resorted to RB dump offs instead which haven’t been as effective/consistent. Say what you want about Beasley, but he excelled at making catches at the sticks when the game got tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also extremely hard to stay up there. If you lose focus for just a moment another team wanting to get there will knock you down. It's as simple as that for me.

Mango Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 4 hours ago, The Jokeman said: Dion Dawkins, yes he drew a penalty late (has anyone seen it yet?) but he's been a quietly above average LT.  I actually think Dawkins is highly replaceable. He is good but not great. I am very open to him moving inside if the Bills really like a LT high in the draft. We could possibly upgrade two positions with one draft pick. I think Mitch Morse is our best OL by a wide margin. I am nervous about our cap situation and his contract expiring this year.  I think Poyer and Hyde have proven their weight in gold. We are likely spoiled with our safety play. I think the play recognition that both Hyde and Poyer possess covers up a lot of defensive deficiencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sure did a fantastic job against a garbage one-dimensional Jets offense yesterday.  Loved that tackling, how about you? Also some fantastic pass-rush-win-rating going on too.   We'll see how that defense looks in the postseason.  because in reality, that's what matters.   20 Points. The NFL Front Runner for MVP and the explosive offense should be able to score more than 20 on a weekly.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
