and why is B B willing to bring in Gordon or A B. Elite talent, thats why. ( fill the hole from Gronks departure)

As an earlier poster posted the draft is a crap shoot especially at the WR position. James Lofton was added to the Superbowl team of the 90's with good success despite being late in his career. Thanks for the reply PTR Why do you think Buffalo and Baltimore lost to Cleveland?

I think Sammy Watkins would have gone a long way in making Josh Allen and the Bills O a better unit. Thanks for the thoughtful reply ColeB

When Bill Polian built the team of the 90's that went to 4 straight Superbowls elite players were sprinkled into the Bills lineup for good reason. Names like Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly and Andre Reed. When the Buffalo Bills are brought up in discussion in todays day and age the team that lost 4 straight Superbowls is still the identity we carry. Do you ever wonder why that is. It because since that time Buffalo has lacked enough star players at one time to change the perception, or to accomplish great things. Aside from Josh Allen and until he accomplishes something elite does not fit the Bill. Who does Buffalo have to go with Allen by way of elite?. Answer, nobody. I mean we can say the Buffalo Bills have a team full of good character players that train and play hard, but no greats. The kind of great players needed to form an identity. The kind of elite players needed to accomplish great things IMO. Don't get me wrong I think McD is a good HC. I also think Josh Allen has star potential. I think the star potential will come given some star players around him. Something Buffalo simply does not have at this point in my humble opinion. Forgive my thread starting skills. Its been awhile and I'm a little rusty. Anyone care to share their thoughts?

I agree, There's really not much consistency in anything Buffalo does except play down to its opponent. No identity...

I know its a team sport, but Mayfield beating Allen head to head is up near the top of the list for me.

I agree Hate kickers, last kick didn't even have enough on it. Almost looked deliberate. If I'm McD hes gone...

When I seen the thread/ vote title I was thinking hmmm, interesting, 2 extra goal scorers on the ice, it might work.

After living in Alabama for a few years the state is smack full of beautiful woman.

Careful what you wish for Boatdrinks, lol Best case scenario and Miami misses on both of them... ...Compliments of Fitzmagic...

Still a big Tua fan, but Burrow was very impressive today. Hats off to LSU. Good game. I prefer Burrow goes to Miami...

Ouch, Hats off to the better team...

Still might make more sense then long term deal IMO. You hate to give up what could still be an elite pass catcher in a pass heavy NFL.

Opposition game plans known tendencies so it makes sense to take under consideration when game planning or play calling IMO. Even when a tendency continues to have good results. I think part of Buffalo's problem is still not executing some plays at a high enough level to get a good indicator. Young QB early in development along with many new faces still acclimating to the system all go into play. It takes time to gel, to know a players tendencies. Allen, Brown and Beasley are building good chemistry every week. The team is a work in progress , especially on O. Although still in all likelihood a few players away from challenging for a Championship. The future looks very bright for the Buffalo Bills in my humble opinion.

I agree with this 100 % The Sabres need leadership...

...And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's Coming on strong And the news man sang his same song Oh, one more radar lover gone...

We see smart QB's/ runners slide before contact and should concentrate more on teaching Allen to avoid contact when he chooses to run IMO. I also think hitting a QB thats down should be more severe of penality to a defender like automatic ejection and 2 game suspension, Send a message...

Good point on the wear and tear and the hits will start adding up, Cams a good example. Of course after Newton ripped a new A hole into the league breaking many records running the football from the QB position.

Absolutely on holding onto the football. I do however think Allens running ability when called upon can win football games. Something perhaps better conserved/ more used in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson is somewhat unique. So is Allen IMO...

I would compare Allens running style more in line with Cam Newton. My point is Allens running ability has to be respected enough to help open up the rest of the O. Similar skill set is probably poor choice of words Here comes the snow...

Do you know what makes Lamar Jackson and the O he operates so dangerous and so hard to stop? Josh Allen has the same skill set with a bigger cannon mounted on his shoulder. Allen just needs to practice carrying and protecting the football like a RB. Working out with Gore as Hapless suggested perhaps... ...oh, and practice slidding... Note this: The New Era power forward / QB is on full display in New Era field and throughout the NFL. Even B B HC of the Patriots is going to be losing sleep at night thinking I want one of these. Can you stop me now...

Well you do have egg on your face

Honest answer, no Coaching/ good game planning matters... ...Buffalo also has an easier schedule IMO...

Yet Buffalo sits at 6 - 2 and the supposed top gun in a real good draft class Baker Mayfield and the Browns are 2 - 6. Mayfield playing with arguably a much better supporting cast. Superbowl contenders, remember? I like the pace and I like the development , especially considering all the new faces on O. A work in progress...

Passing yardage is always at the top of the list. Throw for 300 or you suck. Here's the thing though, there will come a time say against the Chiefs for instance that the 300 yard game may become necessary. Mahomes and company comes at you fast a furious. Fall to far behind and game over. Is Allen improving? Yes, most fans agree. With that being said Josh Allen still has a long way to go to take down the A Rodgers or Mahomes of the NFL IMO.
