I think that a defense that they are playing against will determine the formations. Could be different from week to week. With the current TE health last night it was a good week to evaluate that package.

Fact is we know Murphy was hurt and seems reasonable he is healthy now. Last year in 10 starts he had 4 sacks so I think there is a chance he could have a good year. And lets hope so!!!!
In about 8 days we will have a little clearer picture when he lines up against the Colts.

Funny to read this when there is another thread talking about how good the 17 draft was.

Exactly. several teams traded up to pick players NOT named Mahomes. Others passed him up or stood pat maybe hoping he would fall to the second round.
No one saw this coming except KC. Good on them. That doesn't mean every other team with a top 20 draft pick was asleep at the wheel.
It seems like some here think the Bills were sleeping at the wheel.

So we don't pick a good player because the team is not good?
They did not trade back to get a bad player, right. A to corner in the NFL is a big deal. Of course QBs are the most important... The Bills for what ever reason were not sold on him, and were one of 10 teams who passed on him. Also a lot of teams were in better position to trade up to get him than KC and did not. Add to that one team who passed on him took a different QB anyway.
I guess half of the NFL should have fired there GM over this......

No THIS Mahomes thing is getting a little old. What a loser mentality. Why bother getting anyone good if the other guys are gonna just make him bad by association.
He would have come in for tyrod at some point and never gave up the job. If we end up playing Jax in the playoffs maybe he wins that game.
What a joke.
Ok caption Hindsite...
The year before last when mahomes was sitting on the bench I didnt see much complaining about trading out of the pick.
When Josh Allen beats Mahomes in the AFC champion game we will see who the joke is on.

The Mahomes thing is getting a little old imo. Yea they traded the pick away and selected one of the best corners in the league and a 1st round pick to boot.
As good as Mahomes looked last year try imagine him being a rookie and playing for the Bills last year. How good would he have looked. Not to mention he took over an offense that was already pretty good and well coached.
There are worse none pick QBs like Brady, Breeze, Wilson, Rogers. Only one was a 1st round in the back half and we all know where the other guys were picked.

I point I dont tend to hear about Allen is that he didnt have much of a rookie preseason, with a 3 way competition at QB. If he were an off the bus starter he would have been better prepared to play early on....

Everything is earned with the Bills.

Well he should become an NFL coach, if he is that good to where he does not need training camp competition to determine the starting lineup.
At this point I only listen to the writers information on facts and dont give 2 poops about their opinion...

After the Bills have a good season this year we all should blow up the jerky writers twitter accounts with the FU messages for a month.

We know josh has physical ability, smart, and works hard. He will be better, and will have an improved OL and WRs. This season should be fun to watch!

The Raiders gave up a 3 & a 5 for Brown.
So why would anyone want to give up a #2 and a decent player?

The way Foster came on during last year and the additions of Brown and Cole the WR group has been dramatically improved compared to the start of last year. And as bad as last years group produced it was not all the the WRs. The OL was not to great as the QB situation was less than ideal either. JA did not get a preseason to prepare as the starter and was thrown in.
With this years WR draft class Im glad they did not use top picks on the position. Other teams showed that they did not think too much of the WR draft class either first WR off the board at # 15 and the second at #32. I feel better with the 2 FA pick-ups that I would with the 2 WRs that came off the board in the 1st round.
I get that forums are for discussion but threads like this are are a little silly.

Reggie Ragland, 2nd round pick and did not play at all, or serve as a backup.

season high in NE was only ever 680 and if you come on this board the last couple years you would have thought we let a first ballot wr walk..... never understood the hype.
I was a Hogan supporter, but never thought he was great. But, he was better than most of the clowns that were on the roster, and better than most until this year.

All theses plans to monkeyF$#$ around with out mention to taking a great player who is available. No reason to trade out of #9 if there is a special player on the board. Using some later picks to to move up is not a bad idea tho.

I am am not saying Josh is great. But after returning from injury he was finding ways to make plays. With the offensive line overhaul I see no reason he doesn’t continue to do so. I’d argue that WR is not even close to the same level of need on our offensive side as is TE and RB at this point. I personally feel like RB may even be more critical than TE.
With Shady, Gore, and Murphy I dont see it as a dire need area. All 3 are good runners and pass catchers...

BTW, "not sure what else he has to do?
How about be more than perfectly mediocre in the postseason?
IDK, call me crazy like you guys have, but to me a franchise QB doesn't play average ball in the postseason and rely on the defense and running games to win.
But here's a straight YES or NO question for you, and very curious than answer.
If after the 2026 season we look back and Allen's last 8 seasons were to mimic Newton's 8 to a T, would you consider Allen to have played to expectations?
Rushing doesn't a franchise QB make. Every single franchise QB has an outstanding short-medium game.
To even hint that Allen's short-medium game is even anywhere in the ballpark of where Newton's is is the definition of ignorance in the matter.
To add to that point, you cannot name one QB in the modern era, not one, that has even average much less Allen's horrific-ness in the short-medium game that is a franchise QB based on his rushing. In fact, you can't even name one QB with great passing that is considered a franchise QB because of his rushing. Wilson's about the closest and Wilson's passing is so much better than Newtons, on TD/INT alone.
A franchise QB is one who gives a team a chance to win. By land or air I dont give a crap.

BTW, allow me to ask, which of Newton's passing seasons back up the notion that he's a franchise QB to you?
Just curious.
And here's a list; https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NewtCa00.htm
I'll even summarize the seasons:
21 TDs, 17 INTs, 4,051 Yards
19/12, 3,869
24/13, 3,379
18/12, 3,127
35/10, 3,837
19/14, 3,509
22/16, 3,302
24/13, 3,395
As I see it, withone exception, he's a tremendously average passer, low TD/INT rate, average or worse TD production, high INT%, he's known for being a poor leader and numerous other things.
I think this at least explains the low standards here however.
One solid season does not a franchise QB make. I can name dozens of QBs with one great season that were never even considered for that status. Easily.
If all we get from Allen in 7 of every 8 seasons is TD production of 18-24 TDs, well, continue to laugh, but again, I can see why some seem to think that Allen's better than he is at the moment.

so there were 30 worse players on 53 man rosters last year. Could do worse.
Looking at the stats it seems like he makes a lot of tackles
