Pass rusher. No doubt.

McDermott was "told" by whom? Pegula? Yeah, I highly doubt that.

Did anyone else notice that they put the wrong name on the screen for the defensive player of the year award? They called up Pat Surtain for the award and while he was speaking a banner popped up on the screen that said "Myles Garrett".

More delusional than Jets fans?

I think having a smaller class is much better. There have been too many good players getting in. It should only be the elite of the elite ones who get in. Of the guys who didn't get in, I only feel like Reggie Wayne really deserves it, and I'm fine if it takes him awhile.

Air and Ground co-winner as well!

Who?

TBD in a nutshell.

An autospy sounds fancy. Bill Belichick is salivating at the prospect.

So true. This is a dumb thread.

The Seahawks became the Seahawks back then by having two or three really good drafts in a row. It wasn't just the secondary. They got a lot of good players on both sides of the ball.

Wow. The Raiders could be interesting if they find a QB.

What do you mean give a pass? Are you saying other teams would be firing Joe Brady by this point?

I think the player talent is overrated by Bills fans. The Bills have a legitimately great oline. Basically every other player is not as good as Bills fans think they are. A few are better than Bills fans think, though.

I've wondered this myself.

Taron was still good. He just wasn't as good as he has been in previous years. That isn't how it works in the NFL. The most talented team is not always the one to win the Superbowl. In fact, quite often it is not.

I don't think Shakir is an elite receiver by any stretch of the imagination. But he is good. I agree with your top 5. Those are the elite players. The Bille need to have an elite game wrecker on the defensive line, and they don't. That has been the one place they can't seem to get right.

Easier said than done, though.

That's the right mentality for a player. Don't worry about the refs. Dominate so they can't even be a factor.

Wow. He must have been really sweating seeing what happened to Watson, wondering if he would be next. I wonder if that has anything to do with his drop off in play. I'm not making any judgements. I always let these things play out. We'll see where it goes.

He traded for Rasul Douglas, and he became an impact starter.

Didn't they try something else? They signed Von Miller. They traded for Amari Cooper. Beane says these things, but there is a competitive advantage to keeping your plans under wraps. I hope he sees that he needs to bring in another elite player this year somehow, someway. An elite pass rusher. Just get it done whatever it takes.

This is what I've been saying for years. The Bills need ELITE players. You need at least three of them, and one of them needs to be the QB. The Chiefs have Mahomes, Kelce, and Jones. The Bills have Allen. They have some really good players, but no elite ones besides him. Maybe Cook stepped into that realm this year. We'll see how that goes.

We talked all offseason about how the team would take a step back because of major departures. Well, they did. On the defensive side of the ball. The Bills need more talent, especially in the secondary, but also on the defensive line. I'd be all for blowing up the defensive line and contructing it from scratch, including hiring a new dline coach. I've seen what that group can do, and I'm not impressed. To me, that's the biggest hurdle for Beane to get over. He has invested a lot in the dline and it continues to be below average. He needs to get it right.

That's Josh Allen. That's his preferred way to play. He likes to let routes develop. He seems to only take the quick stuff when that is the weekly game plan. We've seen him do it before, but his default mode is not that way.
