https://www.nfl.com/news/next-gen-stats-top-10-nfl-deep-passers-of-2021-three-qbs-playing-for-new-teams-i There's another little statistical nugget for you. So you say Josh can't throw accurate deep balls? According to these stats it looks like he's going Balls Deep to me! 😂😂

You can slow him down with a good defensive game plan. To me that was more a product of superior coaching. Diggs and Knox destroyed KC in Week 5 and Reid made sure that didn't happen again. They were non existent in the playoff game as you said. Had they a scheme in place to at least limit Hill like Cincy did we might have a Lombardi. This may be blasphemy for some here but I think this team will be better moving forward without Levi Wallace. Good player but abused too often against better QBs, especially when he's isolated with little Safety help.

True but it's only the 2nd time he's gone over 1k in 5 seasons and it took the acquisition of Stafford to get him there. I'm judging by history, reputation and QB, not just last years body of work. Nice player no doubt. Like I said, JMHO. Good call. 👍

Receivers are only as good as the guy throwing the ball. Lets see how good Adams is with Carr instead of Rodgers. Lets see how good Hill is with Tua instead of Mahomes. I guarantee those guys will see a dip in production. Chase is impressive and he has the QB but lets see him do it more than just one season. Now Jefferson is scary. Cousins is not a scrub but he's not elite either and Jefferson would probably top 2k with someone like Josh, Mahomes or ARod. John Brown with Allen= Career year. Diggs with Allen= Career year. Beasley with Allen= Career year. Kupp with Stafford= Career year. See what I'm getting at? To me its, Adams Hopkins Diggs Hill Kupp Jefferson Chase JMHO of course....

I agree with this assessment. Tua may very well become a competent and serviceable QB but I don't expect him to reach an elite level regardless of talent around him. Even when healthy he has never shown the "WOW" factor needed that makes a team and fan base think they got a legit franchise QB. He won't lead his team from a 14 plus point deficit with his improvisation. He won't throw 50 yard strikes while rolling out towards the sidelines. He won't run or jump over defenders as he fights for the 1st down. He won't instill fire upon his teammates to rise up. These are qualities Tua has yet to display.

I've been a fan of this team since 81. Its caused me more heartache and depression than most females in my past. But its also given me pride and joy watching all the HOF talent I've witnessed over the years. The Mets and Knicks are my placeholders but nothing comes close to Buffalo Bills football. I've also posted in many team forums over the years and yes, TBD is the best fan and knowledge wise. I know exactly where you're coming from.

I know coaches will always say their team never overlooks anyone. It's hard to win in the NFL, right? There's no doubt in my mind they thought they can just sleep walk into Jacksonville and leave with a W. When they realized the Jags came to play it was too late.

Death from Above

It would've been nice to have some insurance in the event, Elam is slow to develop White isn't fully back from the ACL or Dane Jackson falls into a sophomore slump. I know the cap is what it is but a 10 mil 1 year deal is a small price to pay for a Pro Bowl caliber DB in your SB window.

I don't care what improvements they've made or what they look like on paper. As long as Tua's their QB and JA17 is ours I can't put the Fins second. Even though we smoked the Pats last year they still made the playoffs. Dolphins? No!!! First they need to be competitive against us, then try to earn a split in the season. Then maybe they can justify a distant 2nd place in the AFCE. So to me its: Bills Pats Fins Jets

Plus the Bills always seem to start sluggish on previous Week 1's, even against the weaker opponents. Rather tee off on lesser teams and build continuity and momentum before the big boys. Good game to make a statement though.

What's the big deal? It's just a stone's throw away from his home down there. 😋

Why not? I mean he pretty much officiates the games while he plays, might as well call them too.

Maybe so but it's a Baptism by Fire situation. If he falters or gets injured it can get ugly real quick. Having Bradberry or Rhodes/Haden for that matter provides a security blanket and allows Elam to shine if ready or learn behind an experienced vet in the event he's not.

It doesn't necessarily have to be Bradberry but out of the Top 3 vet FAs available, Rhodes and Haden being the others, he's the best of the bunch. If it's all about the money for him then you're right, it's a waste of time. But if he's willing to take a 1 year chance to win a ring it's worth looking in to.

Never said he couldn't. I just think it would be presumptuous to assume so. Elam though promising still has flaws. Remember he wasn't ranked a Top 5 CB prospect by many in this draft, not that it means much.

Dane Jackson. With Tre coming back off an ACL and not sure if he's on the field Game 1 Dane is gonna get targeted a lot and Elam will be tested and treated as a rookie. If Tre comes back true to form and Dane balls out this secondary will be pretty formidable especially if Elam starts to shine early. A vet CB like Bradberry/ Rhodes or even Haden would go along way as a security blanket.

Tre coming back from an ACL 2nd year CB Dane Jackson Rookie Kaiir Elam You're ok with that going into the season with all the high powered offenses we'll see this year? Just asking your opinion, we know it's not our decision to make.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/04/with-no-trade-market-developing-giants-close-to-releasing-james-bradberry/ Really thought he would've been acquired by now whether by us or KC who also had interest. Would be a solid acquisition as they bring Elam up to speed providing the price is right. Xavier Rhodes would be a nice get as well. Not as big on Haden as a lot of others here are.

He won't have Levi to pick on anymore. Pretty much beat us throwing to ANYONE Levi was covering.

Plus the Chiefs were obviously looking past them figuring the hard part was over with the win over Buffalo. That and their miscues from getting cute during the game killed them. To a man everyone assumes the Bills would've beaten Cincy in Buffalo if it came to that.

Statistically worse, but probably still Top 5. Overall as a unit, better. I expect to see opposing QBs on the turf a lot more often.

Was the 6th Round card turned in by accident?

What else is new 😂 Time will tell. Everyone knows you can't really judge a draft class until you've seen your players perform for at least 3-4 years. Posters here are always saying you can't draft for need, gotta go with BPA. Well Elam was a need. If you go by most if not all prospect rankings he was well behind players like Lloyd, Johnson and Booth. Elam may very well turn out the best of the bunch and I hope that's what becomes reality. But as of today you can't tell me or anyone else that's the case.

Don't think Breece makes it to 57 especially with so many teams knowing the Bills fascination with him. Maybe an under the radar WR like Gabe Davis was.
