To be fair, Allen does rip KC’s defense apart. With that said, the pre snap part of the game is an area that Allen could continue to improve. He’s gotten better and continues to do so but that will be his last step that will take him over the top. Wouldn’t hurt to have a good defense either

RIP coach

He said FA not via trade. In regards to FA’s, I don’t think there is any one move that puts the team over the top but DJ Reed or Jevon Holland would probably provide the team the best ROI for what they’d spend. If the Bills don’t get someone that is of quality that pairs with Benford then defensively we will be right where we were last year. Getting a quality CB has to be a major priority.

He'll rebound next year. For whatever reason, there were many times that he was open and Allen and he couldn't quite connect cleanly that led to incompletions. I fully expect he and Allen to look to correct that this off season, plus Kincaid will be healthy. I'm fully expecting a very productive and impactful Kincaid for 2025.

Hell yeah! T shirts and some sort of deco for my office.

Dolphin fans are the most delusional, they always have been but Ravens fans on X are the absolute worst.

Possibly but I don't believe likely. I believe it's more likely that they seek their starting CB to pair with Benford through FA. The Bills are too close to winning it all to entrust a rookie in that critical role. I think there is going to be more of a sense of urgency from Beane this year.

That is a very selfish way to look at things, it's all about you, "We didn't win a championship WAAAAAA!" This is the most prestigious individual award that helps builds legacies and an easier pathway to getting him into the hall of fame, you know for the guy that we pretty much owe almost all our gratitude for getting us to where we are. pffff

This will always be a part of Josh’s legacy, can’t think of anyone who was more instrumental to a contending team’s success this year than Josh Allen. I’m so happy for him and the team because even though it’s an individual award it’s also a reflection of the success the team had. Well deserved! And watching the Ravens fans on X meltdown is an added bonus lol

He was defensive line coach with the Saints and they had top units during those years. He was DC for Atlanta for a year and they generated a lot of pressure. Also his man to man usage when he was DC the past two years is one of the higher ones in the league. He is known to play a lot of DB’s and LB’s crowded to the line with lots of disguising.

Of course it does, but Dawkins went from being good to all pro and Spencer Brown from decent to near elite under Kromer. Coaching matters.

If Babich starts off slow, he could be the scapegoat and in comes Nielsen

DJ Reed would be my first choice but Ward would be another really good option. Probably will cost about the same as Reed, somewhere in the $13-$15m a year range. Solid in man and zone and is 28 years old. He had a down year which probably had to do with his daughter dying but I would be happy to have him help revamp the DB’s

Great move and probably means the Bills go to more man to man coverages. I think they will be making moves in FA and through the draft to fit this more press man schemes

I like this move, potentially signals what I’ve been hoping the Bills do this year which is to play more man to man schemes than in the past. If so, expect to see personnel moves to fit the scheme.

If he continues to look good in whatever opportunities he gets and Maye does indeed become their franchise QB, then I think you'd be wrong. Teams are desperate to get a quality QB as their franchise guy and guys like Milton have all the tools, dual QB with size, speed and arm strength. If teams look at the way he processes the field and they like what they see, doesn't matter if it's backups or not, some teams would take a chance. With that said, I think more has to be seen from him, but I have 0 doubt in my mind that some teams are already looking to contact NE to see what it would take to get him. I agree that at this point a 2nd rounder probably wouldn't be on the table, but if he were to show good processing skills in the preseason and maybe he gets an opportunity or two to play during the regular season, then for sure, some team would be right to give up a 2nd rounder for a tremendously physically talented QB.

I think in a couple years they will be the #2 team in the division, Maye is going to be the real deal and if I were a NE fan I'd be ecstatic with him leading that franchise. Also their backup QB looks great as well, I bet they could get a 2nd rounder for him if they traded him. Not sure I would do that yet, even though I am very bullish on Maye's prospects, it's not a given and it's possible that Milton could be a real stud in the league.

I didn't know where to post this and didn't want to start a new thread. Thought this was kinda cool.

Such a fantastic player and even better human being. He and Poyer were instrumental into turning this organization around, helping to build an enduring culture that will stay with this organization for the foreseeable future. Thank you Micah!

They can make lots of moves that are reasonable to free up over $60 million for 2025 Extensions: Josh Allen $10m James Cook $3m Rousseau $10m Restructures: (These are players who I envision remaining with the team through the end of their contract) Dion Dawkins $10m Ed Oliver $9m Cut Post June 1: Von Miller $17m Daquan $5.5m Cut salary candidate: Dawson Knox $3m You guys can use this site and look at the possibilities https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills If pressed they could free up another $15-$20m more. I’ve identified here about $67m worth which for me would be reasonable moves.

It’s not a boundary wide receiver centric sort of offense. Which is why Buffalo will not go into FA and spend gobs of money on one, the ROI wouldn’t make sense. Also, reading some of these comments complaining about the offense and pining for KC’s offense is L O L. Buffalo averaged 3 points per drive which is historically one of the most efficient scoring offenses EVER! Buffalo had less sacks and turnover combination than any team in decades. KC gave up 29 or more points only twice this year and both of those times were against the Bills. And all year everyone criticized KC’s lack of dynamism on offense which averaged only 22.6 points a game, nearly 8 points less than the Chiefs and people want that? Some of you guys are silly

Even though there is this unreasonable narrative among some of the faithful here at TBD that the offense lacks firepower the fact is that the Bills averaged 3 points per drive this year on offense which puts it at one of the most productive scoring offenses ever in the NFL. The offense is for the most part set for next year, there are no splash moves that are necessary. With another year of development from Keon, Shakir continuing to grow, Kincaid who I absolutely believe will bounce back in a big way and having Samuels and Mack Hollins (I hope we bring him back) in their second year along with Cook at RB and a top tier offensive line, the team will do very well again next year. Here is a fun fact, the Chiefs who have a top defense only gave up 29 points or more twice in all of this year including the playoffs. Guess what teams they were? Thats right, Buffalo got both of them. Yeah, the problem isn’t offense. Use one of your premium draft picks at WR and that’s plenty. The defense is where the changes need to be made.

There could be variances in the supply of players in certain positions that could alter the trajectory of valuations, and honestly the main problem with the inflation of valuations in those positions is more of a philosophical problem in how these negotiations between agents and organizations take place. You could have an elite playmaker get a contract and be the top paid guy in that position who in turn sets the market. Then the very next guy who is set to get his contract who maybe is a 8-12 guy in the league at the very same position who is “next in line” could end up getting a higher payout or comparable to the top guy. Thats a problem for organizations who are trying to build something special, which is why teams like the Chiefs would rather have those sort of guys just walk rather than pay them. Too much emphasis is placed on position rather than playmaking ability. Don’t get me wrong, certain positions should start off at a higher baseline than others but the idea that Dak Prescott is getting paid 37% more than Josh Allen who signed his contract just 3 years before Dak’s just shows you how out of whack the inflation in contracts in some of these positions have become. These organizations too often are willing to pay out these overinflated contracts for fear of FOMO. Generally speaking top end WR’s are paid too high and top end RB’s too low. Gabe Davis signed a 3 year $39m deal and Saquon was paid less than that. And the Giants weren’t even willing to offer Saquon even that, that’s how crazy valuations are right now.

Just like how RB’s have been severely undervalued which we will begin to see RB’s trend higher than the current baseline, WR’s are currently overvalued. The top 3 teams in the AFC have had lots of success without overpaying at the position. Chase will most likely get $40m a year, Higgins who is a top 10 WR will get $30m a year. At some point there will be a correction, once teams realize that if they have an elite QB that they don’t have to pay these overly inflated prices for a WR to get good passing production.

If the Bills were to go for another outside WR (which I don't think is the preferred path), Kupp would have been my target. Even though he has been most used from the slot, he can beat defenders from the boundary as well. He's also an excellent blocker, incredible hands, fantastic route runner and he's proven that he can perform when it counts.
