The injury history will be why the Saints may be squeamish on paying him #1 WR money.

 

And honestly, when you neglect a position so long, you don’t get the luxury of being picky.

 

I just can't believe the exact type of WR we needed was right there for a 2nd rounder and we didn't take the opportunity. The result of missing out has gone exactly as I predicted - the downfield passing offense is almost non existent and all the defensive investments have created a defense that is identical to last year's.

Honestly, you don't want to peak too soon and play your best ball this early in the season.  

Yes, but for me it’s all about the one seed.

4-0, feels damn good and I don’t care how we arrived at that mark. Everything feels like the road is paved for the Bills in the AFC, but it’s still early.

 

Giants beating the Chargers bonus.

Not going after Metcalf in the draft and now in this season is criminal negligence 

Two deep safety prevents deep passes.  League wide.  They threw deep and it was intercepted.

True - a great QB can hide a lot of warts on a team.

Why it is such a huge investment and can make or break a GM's career.

Josh Allen is a force of nature. The defense is not championship caliber. Not going to be fixed.

I think it felt like they could have scored almost at will today but instead came in with the intention of limiting what they were going to put on film.

The biggest problem they ahd today had noting to do with passcatchers; the OLine had its worst game of the year and made everything harder on everybody.

 

RVD was brutally bad and Brady singlehandedly killed a drive. But the on schedule downfield passing offense was also once again very limited, and the Saints secondary is not good. It's the second game in a row against a poor secondary where we couldn't take advantage. Feels like if Cook isn't picking up chunks on the ground the drive is DOA.

Isn’t this how KC used to win their games the seasons they went to (and sometimes won) the Super Bowl? 

It’s how every great team wins some games lol even the 07 pats had some close calls

It’s comical at this point.

 

See you in April when you start to believe that Beane has learned his lesson and he spends another couple premium picks to make healthy scratches on the DL.

 

He’ll throw like $8M AAV at some JAG WR and we’ll all hope and pray

Metcalf on this team definitely stresses the opposing D much more than what we have now.

Good game! The other teams are full of professionals and talent every single week, and they want to give Buffalo, a premier team, their best shot.

 

4-0. Keep rolling.

I don't know if it is the scheme or the personnel.  I hope it is the latter as we will get reinforcemnts with Hoecht,  Obenjobie and Hairston.

The Bills 100% do this and its been over McDermott's tenure. The Bills tend to limit their playbook on offense and defense when they feel they are playing inferior opponents and today was another example of that. 

 

I think the offensive line struggled because VanDeMark got his lunch at at times today. In return I think having RVD struggling at RT made Torrence worse today today and I think that showed as this was his worst game as well. 

 

I agree I think the Wide Receivers were fine. Shakir looks like his normal self, Palmer made plays when the ball came his way and the same for Coleman. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Thought Cole Bishop had an awesome game, not only did he have the red zone INT but was all over with good tackles. 
 

Deone Walker continues to make splash plays. 
 

Soon we’ll have back Ed, Milano, Hairston, Hoecht, O Gun.

 

Did Dorian get benched for Shaq in the 4th?

If you told me a team could score 30+ points and win by double digits while playing terribly I would say you're insane, but here we are. 

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

I feel like it’s a conspiracy that the Bills keep it close on purpose almost like a cat playing with its food. Even when they are only leading by a score, I still never felt like this game would ever get away from them. Allen so effortlessly puts on his cape, runs right up the middle for 28 (?) yards and then hits Kincaid down the right sideline for the score to put the Bills up 2 scores. Exactly at the right time when they need it the most.

Ok 4-0 and the important players on offense are healthy. Be nice to see some wholesale changes on defense so we can actually win a championship but 1 week at a time. Got the W

Way too much optimism in this thread.
