Beneford can't run with the burners. So, he is limited to what he can do in McD's scheme. He may grade out well, but, man coverage is a problem for him. He was a late draft choice for a reason....lack of top end speed. Douglas is clearly on a lower plane than he was in 23, just getting older. Bills would only retain him for veteran minimum, as he is better than Ingram or Lewis. Johnson had only a fair year, but he is still solid, maybe the game breaker he was a few years ago. Yup, new talent is needed in these positions. As for safety, Rapp and Bishop can play, just not at the level we have been used to. Bishop may yet develope into the player we need. Hamlin should not be retained, good slow soldier. But, a good tackler like him might hang on in the margins. Again, one of the top thre draft choices needs to go here. Looks like a DE, CB and Safety round 1 and two to me. (where the Bills have three picks) Another late round db might also be picked if he has the speed necessary to cover the burners.

he would get a 5 year contract. Rex had a 5 year deal w the Bills, worked just under two. the Bills paid that off fully. so, $8 mil w 5 years guaranteed could still move him. He probably makes about $3mil today. I am not saying this will happen, but, that is the type of temptation we are talking about here.

Had that been caught, I am thinking Josh and company would have produced 3 points in the minute and a half that was left. the national media has not even conjectured about this possibility. Andrews did not drop the game winning 2 pointer, he dropped the game tying 2 pointer.

Personnel shortcomings. Milano has instincts now at 30. Williams not so much ,but he is faster than Milano now. DT is a weakness. Oliver is a B player. Jones a little over the hill. Phillips playing because the others can't do the rush job he does after 10 seasons. bothers me that Carter isn't good enough to be active. Need another high draft choice in the DL. And, another safety. Jury is out on Bishop but I am not pesimistic there. But, Damar is a C player. Experienced, complete but slow and non aggressive. Good tackler though. (Fa next spring.) Miller is way over the hill, need a good edge. Bills have a one ,two 2's in this draft and most if not all will go to the D imho. So, I think Babich is doing fine w what he has. Not the caliber D though I think of when I think of a super bowl winner. Maybe our coaching will win it, maybe not.

Underrated goes with the territory in Buffalo. Small market, and the national media just doesn't care. Sell more papers and get more clicks covering NY Chicago LA etc.

The conditions will impact the game. Have the Bills practiced outside this week. I am guessing not. To much to do in the warm practice dome. Buffalo used to h ave a cold weather advantage, but that washes out these days with the indoor practices.

Assistants make $3mil or so. Head coaches make 6-8 mil I think. I suspect the money might matter to some but not all coordinators. He who wants to run his own show will go. Security minded will stay for something short of the total difference for family stability. In either case, its a good l iving but an all consuming job.

When The Bills violate the rules, make the call. When the officials blow the call, call them out! They are NOT privledged!

The TV guys don't care. Its about the money!

How many guys in the concussion protocol? Lewis? #28 others? Those kind of Losses would hurt.

Cooper is an end of career rental for the Bills. He still has game and is an old pro. Don't know if he will be on the roster next year, but the Bills would do well to retain him if they can afford him. The lack of drama that Diggs brought is fine, Josh is the star here now and going forward.

He must want the job if he took the interview. Go for it, then.

Samuel should have me snaps. Coleman has turned out to be the leader in drops I think. Thinking Gabe Davis like really. So, lets see Samuel if he is healthy and maybe he catches' more than Coleman. Of course, the bills knew about Coleman's drops etc when they drafted him.

Actually, I was remembering back to about ,85, when the Bills and Bronco's had a playoff game in the extreme January cold. bills won it on an INT by Carlton Bailey, the MLB at the time. Low scoring affair, as the elements were heavy on both teams. Hope I got that year almost right. I was there!

Ahhh...not the real Chiefs though.
