I think we made some nice upgrades this off season but man Allen keeps proving hes a generational talent as he shouldn’t have had to go this long before we started to seriously upgrade this unit. Seriously, how good is Allen to put up the numbers he did with the 30th rated O line and only ONE elite play maker. 53 minutes ago, maddenboy said: I said, and still say, that the Eagles would still beat the Bills if the teams switched lines.

In fact, he's the rock that keeps the Bills ticking imo. Nevertheless, just wondering if football fans, the media, and football experts start pegging Allen back in the pecking QB order. Not that it really matters. The QB rankings always seem to be a fun talking point. One thing that I'm kind of keeping an eye on is Allen's media hype, commercials, Madden covet, Hollywood GF, golf venues on TV, etc...I can't hate that he's marketing himself and making money. Just wonder if how if any it affects his game. The old timer in me kind of doesn't like it. But times have really changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Between guys getting healthy, FAs, and draft picks, I think every position group is better LB. Hopefully, we're not degraded by new injuries to key players. I don't want anyone to be injured but if players have to get hurt, I hope it's JAGs, not Josh, Tre, Von, or Diggs. If we stay reasonably healthy, we have a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Beane but that’s not a great 3 year crop if we’re being real. As always, the draft is a crapshoot.

As long as Allen plays like he has the last 3 seasons the answer is NO on whether he deserves blame for the Bills failure to reach the SB. There will always be an undercurrent of "experts" who will jump on anything to move Allen down the QB rankings list. They claimed he would fail when drafted and they want at least partial vindication for what turned out to be among the worst predictions of a QB's success in NFL history. The problem for the Allen haters, and most of these people are exactly that, is that love or hate PFF having the 30th ranked O line (okay maybe it was only the 25th worst yet maybe it was the worst) and still putting up the individual and team stats that Allen put up is amazing. And a shout out to Dorsey to. The rookie O coordinator has taken a beating on 1BD but what he accomplished with a bad O line is pretty solid. As for Allen's commercial activities? Come on man, Mahomes, Rogers & Burrow are not exactly shy about their non-football elated commercial projects. As an elite NFL QB Allen was inevitably going to be featured in commercials. And I see no evidence from his production or the teams success to believe it has negatively influenced his play in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Firebaugh Kid Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 People forget about Ike and Doyle too. OCyrus is a huge upgrade, the questions really lie at LG and RT. I think the Bills can get into the 15-20 range, which will bode well for Josh and the improved run game as well. With all the competition they brought in, the cream will rise.

BullBuchanan Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Whether or not we win a Super Bowl will have little to do with the play of our O-line. O-line helps keep a QB healthy and they help runt he clock, but winning teams have been scheming around sub-par line play for a long time.

I really don't feel like the Bills are buying a SB. They have added Von but thats really the only big splash guy in quite awhile. They are trying to develop giys like Boogie, AJ, Rousseau, Oliver, Elam, Cook, Davis, etc. The majority of the Bills off season moves haven't been big money acquisitions. The real issue or problem if you will is the lack of production from draft choices, misses, or mediocre play. Couple that with some past pick ups that didn't pan out.

Eastport bills Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The additions on the O-line and D-line are the most impactful. I see our O-line being improved with the new guards, especially McGovern and Torrence, and Shell backing up Brown. It may take 3 or 4 games to be coordinated but addition by subtraction with Saffold moving out. The running game and pass protection will be better and that will bring the best out of Josh. Kincaid, Sherfield, and Davis should all be big contributors with balanced play calling. The D-line will be better at run defense with Ford and Settle rotating with DeQuan and Oliver. Factor in Rapp and Hyde back with Poyer and White in our secondary and you have arguably the best group in many years. With Sean calling a more aggressive defense and Dorsey one year removed from being new on the job, this team is very scary. On 6/28/2023 at 2:24 PM, BuffaloBillyG said: Not really. Most of the guys mentioned are in year 1 or 2 of their NFL career.

In short, I'm not seeing how the regime is trying to buy a championship. Just my opinion. Agree with you, The Bills have tried to build through the draft and get mid-tier FA except for Morse and Miller (and previously Star), Both Hyde and Poyer were low key signings that have gone on to build a great career with the Bills (and are as good as Bills draftees). We have had good to reasonable success with Dawkins, White, Edmunds, Oliver, Singletary, Knox Warming up for success are Cook, Elam, Groot and Benford, Davis Hoping to have success with Brown, Basham and Epenesa, Shakir Failed heavily with Cody Ford, Moss and several. 4th/5th rounders that did not make the team The key to our SB run will be if Cook, Elam, Groot, Davis and Benford can turn in a super season and Brown, Basham, Shakir and Epenesa can hold their fort. These players have the talent to be super stars in the NFL and this is the year for them to put it all together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that fans want to imagine that guys like McGovern, Edwards, Harty and Sherfield will all play SO MUCH better than they were last year because Beane's crystal ball has foretold it...........but they are just shots in the dark not an indication that they've surely made strides in those areas of weakness. I agree with you on fan's wishful thinking about new players ability to overperform. And here's the one player I could be accused of doing it with... I'm hopeful that McGovern's pass protection is a vast improvement over Saffold. And that he's actually been graded as a top 10 pass blocking OG in the league.

Do you think McGovern was bad last year in pass protection? Or just bad run blocking? Yeah I surely hope McGovern turns out to be good too. You don't pay an interior OL who has never even been a full time starter the kind of money they did unless you think he's going to be A LOT better than he's ever been before. But his pff grade last year was brutal. To register a 52 score you have put a lot of bad on tape. Clearly the splits were vastly different because his pass blocking was good and his run blocking was not. And as I've said.......there is no such thing as a 3rd down guard........you can't be terrible at one aspect and be a good guard. Saffold was even worse (42) but he was simply terrible snap-in-snap-out all season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) I love the Torrence addition. I think adding Edwards was a sneaky good move, but not a great one. I think signing McGovern for so long and so much was a terrible move that will set us back. We still need a starting caliber RT and McGovern needs an upgrade. We also are 2 WR's short of a solid starting 3. Also, everyone assumes Cook will be great. I'd like him to achieve mediocrity at least before I join that lovefest.

We also are 2 WR's short of a solid starting 3. Also, everyone assumes Cook will be great. I'd like him to achieve mediocrity at least before I join that lovefest. I'm not saying it would easy to solve all those problems, but the answer is still no. We didn't do enough. We'll be a good team this year, but I don't see a deep playoff run. We may not even win the AFCE. I think this is pretty spot on. The Bills need a lot of things to go just right in order to make a deep run. The roster is solid but still lots of question marks in the trenches. The WRs besides Diggs looks pretty average to weak. The RB by committee looks pretty solid. Cook looks promising but he still has a lot to prove. Of course injuries will play a role as it does with any team. The coaching staff has to be better. Dorsey is a big question mark. No guarantees he gets better this year. Can the Bills D be better in the playoffs assuming the Bills get there? Lastly, I just have a difficult time thinking Buffalo will beat Cinci or KC if they meet again in the playoffs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy’s defense seems to be meaner and quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes just seems to know how to win. That oline is so good and Reid knows how to call plays. Mahomes will likely give Brady a run for his SB rings while Allen likely becomes the next Dan Marino and Jim Kelly. Great QBs with no rings to show for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
