I’m hoping Ray Davis shines bright once again…. Has Ed have a big game yet? I don’t know Seattle’s line but maybe they have a weak LG?

I don’t think we have any subs though…, It’s Cooper and Coleman on the outside, Shakir in the slot and Kincaid at TE…. Anyone goes down and we will have problems…. Hollins is clearly a useful player that can spell all three starting WRs, but he cannot replace them. On the bright side, we are deep at RB for the moment.

Of course not, we have already paid him in full…. Oof! We’re paying for that one!

I remember he was at my grade school when I was in about third grade…. I remember staring at him and he waved to me and I think I waved back….He spoke to the whole school in the auditorium but I have zero recollection of what he said. I don’t think I really listened….He struck me as a very nice person though…. I wasn’t a Bills fan then. None of my five older brothers were either. They were terrible, just awful at around that time. I remember one brother I looked up to was a Joe Namath jets fan, but I…. I hate to say it, I was a cowboys. I had a lot of their football cards and had favorite players. Calvin Hill and Bob Hayes were my favorites. I remember the big kids talking about football and I think most were either Jets or dolphin fans if you can believe that, and I said something like, the cowboys will kick their ass! And I did not outrun them….I remember getting kicked…. Had to wait for Lou Saban to come back to make everyone Bills fanatics….at least in my neighborhood…. thats my Billy Shaw story…. RIP BILLY SHAW GO BILLS!

I have no idea about contracts or compensation, but if was asked what one player could help the Bills the most (again, nothing to do with contracts or age or compensation) I might say, Adams. He would help a LOT! My other pick would be Chris Jones…He is just outstanding and you would take him off the KC…. There is no doubt in my mind that if Chris Jones was on our team instead of their’s we would have won every game.

Not outside CBs though…. He’s really good and really tough and really young. You have to sign him (if we can) we have so much dead money, iDK if we have it…. We have to draft a WR….

Cheaper? WTF are you talking about? LOL! Beane gives everyone top dollar all the time!

He tried to pull a Thurman Thomas on us and couldn’t. He still has another shot but has to stay healthy, not an easy assignment for an older that hasn’t looked like himself since the 2021 season.

Yeah, Von looked like he was a rookie again! LOL!

You’re rationalizing the story badly. If Worthy turns into a star and Coleman does not, Beane is an idiot. No ifs, no buts, no coconuts…. And Beane is the most overated GM the Bills have ever had.bHis drafts from Edmunds - 2022 get about a C grade…. That’s it. His FA moves are in the realm of crazy. The Diggs trade, The Diggs contract and especially the Diggs second contract….Ooof! Paying Von like he is at the peak of his career and for so long, just nuts. Why did he give Star and Knox so much money?! WTF is he doing? He is doing it again with Dawkins and TJ….Negotiate Beane! It is like he thinks making players the highest paid is a good thing. I’m afraid to see what we paid Brown, he is not a top notch RT…. we don’t beat KC in the playoffs because their team is better than ours with the exception of the boneheaded :13 sec move and the injury to Tre White…. If the 2023 and 2024 don’t really impress this year, I’m gonna puke, because that means it’s all over….. Were never gonna beat them because they have much better decision makers….

First off, as you say, way too soon is not strong enough of a statement. Ask in two years at least. I like the late picks too and I agreed all year we needed them badly (so many wanted to trade up for one WR but they were only half right, we needed both for sure.) Second, how do you know for sure we will have plenty of FA money? I have been wondering about that all summer… We still have Von’s contract and now TJ’s and Dawkins’. The last two have to be healthy going into next season or that will crush us perhaps. I don’t know about next year’s FAs either, how many new contracts are due? We will let Spencer Brown go, no biggie, but anyone else? I’m really hoping for a return to excellence next season but things have to happen this season first. TJ is coming up on the age where small players playing big start to fall apart. He has to somehow remain healthy. Dawkins too but we are at least developing some tackle talent I think, but either way, if Dawkins is a no go his contract will be a weight around our neck. Beane has to have drafted much better between the 2022 - 2024 drafts than the Edmunds pick - 2021 (a long time for meh, about a C+ grade overall.) Then we need that plenty of FA money you are talking about and then we have to nail another draft using those extra picks we you have been talking about: WR, DE, CB, S, DT, S, WR…. We need some very sound players and a couple great ones…. Beane’s tremendous picks so far: Allen. Great picks: TJ, Gabe…. Then it falls to good picks….Ed, Groot, etc…. then meh…with a few stinkers…. C+……

I’ve been really accurate predicting the Bills record lately as well…. This year, I just can’t fathom the Bills going over ten and I went nine….I would not be surprised with 8 wins this year…. Maybe we can do something with a medium #1 pick? I hope the Bills have cap room next year to add a little more talent as well. I’m actually hoping for one big FA and then a couple lower guys. Then with the higher #1 and the extra higher picks we have we can finally do this thing right next season. That’s the best I can hope for at this time.

We have to see how this season goes to see if we can reload next year… We need a lot of growth during the season….We need the 2022 - 2024 draft picks to be much better than most of the picks between Tremaine Edmunds and the 2021 drafts. That’s #1. #2 is we cannot have any more career threatening injuries. I’m very worried about Von, Cookie, Dawkins and TJ hitting the wall and killing our cap.) .#3 we need cap space next year enough to purchase a purple starter (red-blue)…. #4 We really have to nail the draft next year too…. If this list of four can all happen I think we can win the SB next season….. Am I hoping for too much?

I got a two-part answer for you…. Yes, Beane should be looking for a QB in every draft in rounds 3-7…. A young guy with potential to develop. Hopefully he looks great in preseason and we trade him to a team for a pick a few rounds higher …. Like Green Bay did all those years…. But I think to get a franchise QB the team probably needs to bottom out and then draft one very high and then rebuild.

Watt clearly has greatness and I’d say he is both the scariest and best pass rushing DE or LB in the league easily…. Having said that, how many games has he missed in his career? Seems like an awful lot to me…. He also plays on a pretty good defense as well. Heyward is also a great player. Not as valuable as Watt but he is a great DT and has been for many years and I don’t think he misses games a lot…. It is a huge deal to have another great DL to work with…. If Cornelius Bennett was a great pass rusher, we definitely would have won multiple SBs… How about this? Paup - Hansen - Washington - Bruce….. Four Super Bowl Wins, imho… No, I’m not a huge Hansen fan and I think he ruined the wall, but he WAS a Competent 3-4 end whose job was to clog lanes and stop the run. But a hundred Hansons do not equal one Bruce…. But Hansen would be fine with those three impact players…. If I were to make a best Bills’ D ever….It would be a 4-3 which is kind of anti-Bills historically but I think the best way to build our All-time best…. Paup - Washington - Kyle - Bruce …..Cornelius* - Shane Conlan ** - Lucius Sanford *** N. Odomes - Micah - Jordan - Mario Clark * - The Biscuit would play a position he’d be the best at in the whole NFL maybe even today as well. ** - Shane Conlan is undisputed hardest hitting Bill defender ever and a great LB when on the field. This spot could be manned by Shane Nelson or Sam Cowart as well. Cowart was such a great draft LB briefly for the Bills (like all 3 really, too brief!) *** - I can’t even recall who was the best on that team, Isaiah Robertson was very good as well. I recall Lucius being the meaner one though…More of a pass rusher. I think if I was making a modern team, I’d choose Milano here for his all around game, quickness and speed but bisquit could play now and dominate. For a modern D I’d also go with Cowart for his athleticism as well….Maybe in a few years it will be Bernard? Let’s hope so… The Bills have had a lot of very good corners so it is hard to pick corners. Maybe Tony Green who was before my time. Antoine Winfield may be my favorite all-time, it is such a shame we lost him. That DL could play and completely dominate playing just about any style…. Washington, imho, is the best run stopper of all-time and could do so much more. He absolutely commanded a double. Kyle and Bryce would be blocked one on one and would often get to the QB in under two seconds. Bruce’s accomplishments would skyrocket with a D like that. It is such a shame for most of his career offenses could all the attention they wanted to Bruce with nearly no ramifications…. Bruce had one year with one good partner and that was Paup (and Bruce was no longer at his peak then, though pretty good).
