  1. He was crushing it early on last year as well and then sort of petered out after week one. Hopefully this year he can make that leap.
  2. He’ll line up both boundary and slot. His versatility will be a plus for the team.
  3. Joe Haden is exactly the sort of vet that the Bills covet. Plenty of experience, won't be expensive and could provide just the sort of depth and stop-gap solution the team very likely could use. I also think the Bills will look for a veteran boundary WR as well.
  4. The Carolina QB room should be pretty interesting.
  5. The issue wasn't that he didn't have the quality to be on an NFL roster, it was that his quality of play did not warrant all the baggage that was going to come along with him being on the team. For a owners he could be a PR nightmare, for management and coaches he could become a distraction and for the potential level of headache that he could cause and the fact that he was a backup level QB, it just didn't make sense. Simply put, there was not enough juice for the squeeze.
  6. They are all definitely on the hot seat. I would suspect that Epenesa and Moss are in safer ground than Ford but any of the three could get axed if a combination of either them not showing growth and/or the competition for their positional battles ascend. Either way the depth on this team has increased in all three of those areas Oline, Dline and Rb and that is a good thing.
  7. What sort of stats are these? And Cincinnati was rushing with 3 much of the second half and dropping back an additional defender. Bills pass rush was not championship caliber You are asking everyone to not trust their lying eyes and go with some cherry picked stat. Bottom line is that it was pretty much universally accepted that the pass rush was inadequate against Mahomes, he was sacked once and hit just twice. He had tons of time against a 4 man pass rush and when there was a rusher it was easy for him to evade. This is a weird hill for you or anyone to die on, pretty much everyone knows that the pass rush that day stunk. The point is that the offense was miles ahead of the defense on that day and when the Bills lost last year, most of the time it was because the defense couldn't close out the game. Selecting a 1st round DB and adding Von Miller addresses what were our biggest weaknesses that prevented us from getting to the SuperBowl.
  8. You guys are mistaking that for good pressure. Mahomes had plenty of time to throw, obviously after 3-4 seconds then the pressure was coming in. It wasn't as if the Bills were getting immediate pressure, the reason why he was "running for his life" was because of the time he was afforded and he just stood back there looking for options and eventually the pressure was coming in.
  9. Seems as if there seems to be some amnesia as to why the Bills didn't advance into the AFC Championship game. Aside from the coaching gaffe - The Bills couldn't get after the QB - The Bills couldn't cover their receivers That was addressed this offseason in a major way. With that said, the offensive line on paper is slightly better and so is the backfield, tight ends with the WR's essentially being a push. Get one more veteran depth CB and boundary WR and the team is set.
  10. The Bills are fine at the WR spot, but they are one boundary WR away from risking that away. Diggs and Gabe Davis are going to be a high caliber starting outside boundary duo, but depth at that spot is shaky. They just need to bring in a veteran who can play the role if one of the two go down. In regards to the receiving options from the backfield, TE's and slots with the addition of OJ, Shakir, Crowder and Cook, there is a huge upgrade at those spots. Overall, the Bills lose one quality depth boundary WR and gain many other options at the other receiving positions. Net net, it's clear that the team has improved on the receiving front, at least on paper. For me to feel a little more comfortable, the Bills would need to add one more veteran boundary WR. With that the Bills are set for the season.
  11. Stephon Gilmore Mario Williams Jason Peters Honorable mentions Kyle Williams Shady McCoy
  12. Yep, I remember reading this when the Bills were going to be embarking upon their new analytics program and how it was being built from the ground up. Glad to see that it has been paying off for us, yet another feather in the cap for Beane/McDermott and what they have built for this Bills franchise.
  13. No safety keeps up with Tyreek Hill and Kelce just knows how to exploit coverages.
  14. Either the franchises and agents know something about the size of the cap substantially increasing in the coming two years or these ridiculous new contracts for the receivers we have been seeing is about to correct.
  15. My guess is that the Bills will offer a very similar deal to Poyer as what Mathieu received and he'll sign. safeties can play at higher levels than DB's for longer periods of their careers, I think Poyer has another 3 years of high level football in him, which would most likely coincide with what the guaranteed money that they will offer him frontloading the first 2 years.
  16. It's certainly a concern and the odds do point to considerable risks and Tre never returning to be the same player that he used to be. There are some people who have great genetics and advances in medicine/therapy/treatments continue to improve. We also know that Tre will outwork just about anyone for his rehab so if there was anyone who could return to near his level pre injury, Tre would be the person. I'm hopeful but also somewhat mentally prepared to see a physically lesser Tre.
  17. He's just trolling in good fun. I know this will be the most ratioed opinion but ever since he has left the Patriots, I've grown to like his social media persona.
  18. Part of an NFL players responsibilities are to the fans and organization but not solely to them. Just like you and me, there is a personal responsibility and he is in the middle of negotiations and from his perspective this is the last chance he has at getting a multiyear contract that will forever secure he, his family and his legacy. It is a voluntary workout, he doesn't have to be here and I don't begrudge him one bit on what he believes is best for his families interests. He is an old pro, him missing some voluntary workouts is not going to affect him one bit when it comes to his play on the field.
  19. There is a real possibility that the Bills ended up drafting two players who will be a staple in the Bills passing attack for years to come. They are both jackknives that can be lined up in a multitude of positions in varying formations. They both could end up being reliable safety valves that convert lots of third down conversions. I think when it's all said and done, a 2nd and 5th rounder who could end up 2-3 years from now catching over 100 receptions annually would end up looking like a hell of a bargain. The Bills are a little weak with their boundary WR depth, they should look to add another veteran to the mix.
  20. I would say OL - depth WR - depth CB - depth I see no weaknesses with the starting units.
  21. Didn't see this post until after my last response.
  22. Even though Feliciano's play dropped off last year, overall he was a bargain player that played with lots of emotion. Overall, he was a net plus. With that said, this is just bitterness on his part for losing his starting job.
  23. I think they made that trade thinking that the 18 draft class was going to give them a better shot at landing their franchise QB than the pick they traded to KC. Do I think Josh was who they had in mind the whole time? Not necessarily, but from all accounts Josh was someone they liked a lot back in 2017. They knew they were trading all these players and picks for draft capital for the QB draft class in 2018. I just don't view it as luck that they made all these decisions, including the trade to KC and Sammy and ultimately were able to maneuver themselves from a pick in the 20's all the way to 7 and end up getting their guy. That to me says there was a purpose and they executed that purpose. Yes, but in reality pretty much every franchise QB that is selected by a team, you could apply this sort of logic and say the majority of teams had some luck in that other teams didn't select them first.
