Well, he's going to get a lot more snaps now with Toohill gone. I'm excited too. The playoffs are looming and they wouldn't let an experienced veteran go if they didn't see real promise in the rookie. I mean, all he did was make 33 sacks at Troy. Not too shabby. And for the record, Von is playing well. He may not be what he was 10 years ago, but who is?

They're very average. Rousseau is the only really good starter.

It will be a defense first draft. Edge and DT are top priorities. CB too if Douglas isn't resigned.

As long as we don't have to play the Ravens again.

We need to make a serious attempt to upgrade in the trenches. We are too soft. I know we play nickel and light boxes, but Jones only makes an occasional play. Oliver might as well stay on the bench for all he contributes. Von just doesn't have much gas left in the tank any more. Epenesa is worthless. At least Rousseau is pretty good. So 3 of our 4 starters on the DL need BIG upgrades. We need serious competition at both Guard spots as well. Neither Torrence nor Edwards are even average. We've got to get tougher in the trenches.

Douglas is having a really bad game. Bedford isn't playing much better. The offense is making a few plays, but this looks hopeless. O line can't open any holes for the run, but we're too far behind to worry about that. No pass rush either. I think Edge and DT have to be top priorities in the off-season. I think we should trade Oliver this off-season. He's been invisible all year.

These 2 were given the highest grades for the Bills for their week 13 performances. I was very wrong about Brown. I thought he'd never amount to much and I'm very happy he's proven me wrong. Knox has made the temporary loss of Dalton Kincaid acceptable and appears to be due for more snaps. I look for Knox to be a big factor come playoff time. I also look forward to Brown receiving much more recognition. I guess Beane knew what he was doing when he extended him. Brandon Beane is my favorite Bill. He's had a few misses, but far more home runs -- even on day 3 of the draft he's coming up with gems. When people talk about all the talent on this team, they mistakenly leave his name out of the conversation. We just unloaded a bunch of talented players and we're better than ever. Just think about that. Who else could have pulled that off?

In any case, these are the 2 best teams in the NFL right now.

Here's my list of Bills that deserve the nod. Offense: Josh Allen James Cook Deion Dawkins Spencer Brown Khalil Shakir Defense: Greg Rousseau Christian Bedford Terrell Bernard Taron Johnson (forgot!) Not on my list: Ed Oliver, Matt Milano, Amari Cooper I think Oliver isn't having a very good year. Milano is great, but he's missed too much time to qualify. Transferring to a new team has not helped Amari, but he's still good. I just think there are better WRs based on this year's numbers. I do give him a lot of credit for playing hurt though. So who are your probowl caliber studs?

I've been thinking the same thing for some time. Give us a healthy Von, Tre'Davious, Bernard and Milano and we win by 2 scores and go on to win our 1st SB.

If they don't resign Cooper, that's a huge need. Same with Douglas and boundary CB's, but maybe we can live with Elam. I'm banking on Bishop, so I won't say Safety. I say continue working on the DL and IOL. Edge, 1 Tech and competition at the Guard spots are all valid targets. I'm not sure if we can continue relying on Von. Solomon shows promise, but he's still a question mark. Rousseau is now elite, but some don't seem to recognize that. I'll just add that McDermott's staff is getting better at coaching guys up. This group of coaches is the best he's had to date.

But we do love being wrong when a young player blows away our expectations. The name Spencer comes to mind as well.

Good for TB. He and Christian Benford are 2 of the most underrated players in the league. On offense, Shakir is also undervalued. A Lombardi Trophy might help in that regard.

Offense - Josh Allen Defense - Terell Bernard Special Teams - Sam Martin Who do you think the 3 best players were? (1 offense, 1 defense, 1 ST)

We honestly have as good a shot at the Lombardi Trophy as anyone. I have a ton of confidence in Beane right now. He doesn't get enough credit.
