Agree. Something was off with Bass last year. And I don't know how easily a kicker regains his confidence. McD seemed to lose confidence in him as the year went along - rarely going for 50+yds - and it culminated with that final kick. They once said Haack was the best holder in the game, maybe Martin isn't (with Haack holding in 2021, Bills' kicker Tyler Bass posted a career-best 87.5 success rate on field goals and made all 51 extra-point attempts.). So I guess by bringing Haack back to compete, they're trying to address that issue. I don't know, Bass should be a little more resilient. If the Bills are going to play a plodding, ball control style of offense they absolutely need an automatic kicker. They can't chew up 8 mins of the clock and then shank a FG. There is absolutely no room for error with that style of O and there is really no room for error in the playoffs either against quality teams. Your kicker can be the difference between losing in the division round every year to bringing home a few Lombardis. Just ask Tom Brady

Boyd is more of a slot guy. We've already got like 5 of those

Ty Johnson on KOs Shakir on punts....

Fitz all the way. Diggs was most productive. Reich was around the longest, but Fitz is and will always be a fan favorite and a guy who LOVES Buffalo and will tell everyone so. His legend has only grown since he left.

I think Allen can do some of that, but he's not Brady or Rodgers. Even Brady has Randy Moss, Gronk, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, etc... guys that were all-pros without Brady. Allen needs guys that can actually catch his rockets and because of his arm he can hit passes that Brady could never have made, opening up different areas of the field, especially downfield. But with Joe Brady's dink and dunk offense and Beane's decision to not get speedier WRs, we're wasting one of Allen's talent of attacking downfield

It's a good point, but I think that's why most swallowed the Diggs trade as necessary medicine. But to not double-down in the draft with such available talent, have many scratching their heads

You guys are delusional Hamler will be on IR all season Samuel is a McKenzie/Harty+. He'll be great, if used right Isabella is PS Shakir is a short-area slot Claypool won't make the team We didn't replace Diggs or Davis combination of speed/hands/routes/size. Coleman is the closest to replacing Davis, but not really on downfield stuff

I think they're releasing one game of the schedule per night, via a primetime broadcast. We'll know the full schedule by August

guys with checkered pasts ....who suck. Claypool and Ophelius (what ever his name is, former Det WR). I'll take a checkered past if he's solid. Like when Calvin Ridley was available for a trade and Jax got him

You really think Beane was ever going to sign Chark or OBJ? We've seen how much he loves bargain bin shopping for WRs. Claypool and Mack Hollins are this year's Sheffield and Harty.

Hopefully more TDs is the big "?" drive the entire field and stall in the red zone and miss a FG. no opportunities on the roster for quick strikes makes the margin of error small

Well we missed out on both. But good thing we got Chase Claypool!!

But they just signed OBJ instead. So we're taking their leftovers? And you can't say Claypool is high character.

They've told OBJ don't sign anywhere b/c we'll come get him June 1. ...maybe....

Remember during the Kelly years when Rich Stadium wouldn't sell out and local TV was blacked out? I don't think that will happen again, but used to back then (stadium was 80k+ as well) Fans get used to success and want more. Think a lot are getting anxious about the plan to get us past the Chiefs and the divisional round. Mahomes and Burrow aren't going away anytime soon and either we learn to hit them in the mouth or we out score them. Right now, I can't tell what the plan is.

Looked up Hamler's injury history. Man, this guy is the definition of injury-plagued. Chronic hamstring strains - didn't even run at the combine or his pro day; two ACL tears on same knee; hip injury; and then was out all last year with a heart condition. Poor guy. Foolish if Beane is thinking anything other than a flyer Even when healthy, he had problems with drops and isn't great at tracking the ball

Dude has yet to play a snap in the NFL, or catch balls from Allen. Sorry, you're deluded.

It's really hard to imagine us not adding an outside WR post-June 1 The Beane smokescreen about liking Shorter and Shavers (I couldn't even remember who he was), is just that, classic Beane white lie. We need a proven outside WR vet, at the very least to show the ropes to Coleman and offer some depth.

We got Von to try and apply pressure to beat Mahomes. It's just not that simple. He's too good. This last try, it was Kelce catching all over us, Pacheco running all over us, and the D letting KC score 27. Hopefully the D will be more stout with less LB injuries this year. But it was also our inability to close it out in the clutch. Part of that, imho, was a lack of potency in the passing game. We couldn't get that critical TD when we needed it. Josh threw 39 times and only got 186 yds. As much as Josh can still do it, we need to start to find alternatives to his playmaking with his legs. It makes up for, and even masks, other deficiencies. He was our leading rusher that game. How many times has he bailed out our lack of a real system or plan, with some crazy individual feat? He won't be able to keep up his whole career.

Rookies and new players should be up to speed by December and reacting more naturally and playing with speed. If injuries haven't hit us and our record isn't too bad, hopefully we can make a run.

You think there won't be injuries by the time we get to the playoffs. Bernard worries me as a smaller guy who is always around the ball and plays aggressively. Milano and Daquan have injury histories. We're unproven at Safety and thin at CB. We missed Davis against KC, but he was otherwise a consistent part of the team during the win streak. Diggs too, even if his production was low. Teams consistently doubled Diggs and put their top CB on Davis, opening up opportunities for other guys like Shakir. Diggs and Davis are gone, so we'll see how Ds react. Might be a blessing to not have a consistent #1 target. I think we'll double down on the run game and if Davis can produce immediately that should be good. Morse was not the best run blocker, so could we get better there? Plus consistently running behind 2 TEs. I can't say the team is definitely better. There are some big question marks in many areas that we'll just have to see how it plays out.

That's the rub. Hope Hamler can kick the injury bug, but those injuries take a toll on productivity as well. Smoke had a 1,000 yd season in his 2nd season. Was productive as a rookie as well. Then had a few nice seasons with the Bills Hamler has done NOTHING so far.

Young guys over vets, challenge them to grow and succeed, but they very well may fail. 2 scenarios: A. 11-6: win the division again (not sure Miami got much better) make the AFC Champ but lose to the Bengals Von is back in form, Keon is productive, team struggles to adapt at first to new faces but then goes on a run B. 8-9: miss the playoffs Bills struggle out the gate. Hangover in leadership void. Returning guys like Milano are still getting up to speed. DB play lacking. Injuries. Offense has no rhythm. Team is predictable and DCs flood the box. 3-6 and call for McD's head, but team comes together and goes on a mini-winning streak to give hope for future and save McD's job

people are seriously delusional

yeah, as much as the Bills were the high-flying K-GUN, Kelly never threw for more than 4,000 yds in a season, only over 3500 once. Was a different game Also interesting that we don't really have a mentor for Coleman. There's no one on the roster that can help him learn the ropes as a #1 or outside, boundary WR. Tricks of the trade etc... Samuel and Shakir are slot guys. Maybe they'll bring in OBJ for that role alone
