Von is healthy, but he's not elite any more. Javon Solomon shows promise, but is it enough? AJ Epinesa is OK, but not special. Rousseau is outstanding overall, but I think he should stay at LE. Personally, I think they need to move on from Von after this season. I'd be looking to move up in the draft and get Von's successor. What's you take?

Please delete this one. Thanks.

I think that's quite a stretch to say Benford and Bernard are all-pros, but I like them a lot.

And with Beane in charge of the draft, that draft capital looks like gold. When people said that the Bills' SB window was closed they forgot that Beane was just reloading.

Of course, the coaches and players have to stay fixed on the next game on the schedule. As a fan, I'm already looking forward to the postseason matchups with the Chiefs, Ravens and/or Texans. I could also see us gearing up for a game with Pittsburgh or Denver. We need to take the Chiefs down with a convincing win before our Bye Week.

So far, this rookie class shows real promise. Everyone has noticed Keon and Ray Davis, but they are not alone. In limited snaps, Javon Solomon has really shined with 2 sacks, a FF and a PD. I'm not sure if he's had any TFL, but I wonder why he hasn't earned more snaps. Carter, despite 1 bad outing (Ravens) has looked solid too. Bishop has real potential, but has made what I consider correctable 'rookie mistakes' . The jury's still out on guys like Grable, Granger, Andreesson, Ulofoshio and Hardy (Who looked good at CB in preseason). What's your midseason impression of this group? I think this may Beane's best draft considering where he picked.

Actually, his pass defense has improved and they've started leaving him on the field on 3rd down and 'long'.

I always liked the pick and last night he proved me right.

I would have been ok with no trade, but this one makes the most sense if Cooper is not just a 1 year rental. This frees up next Spring's 1st rounder for an edge rusher. Then keep beefing up in the trenches.

Unfortunately, there's no one better hanging around. You'd just be creating more dead cap space.

You're not even going to give Cole Bishop a chance to get coached up and show what he can do? Why did we use a 2nd rounder on him if we're just going to delay his development?

1. Ray Davis 2. Josh Allen 3. AJ Epinesa (Even Rogers admitted that the 2nd sack was legit.) 4. Taylor Rapp 5. Taron Johnson (Play of the game!) 6. Greg Rousseau (Quietly made several good plays.) 7. Rasul Douglas (Got beat once or twice, but had several nice plays to offset those.) 8. Dalton Kincaid (Not a great game, but still a solid performance overall.) I gotta give the OL kudos. They've had a couple stinkers, but they showed up tonight. Dawson Knox, who's been MIA showed up too.

23-20 Bills in OT.

Hello? Does the name Shakir ring any bells? You're right about the pass rush, though. Edge should be priority #1 in the 2025 draft.

I know this may not be a popular opinion, but I think we should explore the option of trading Matt Milano. He has a history of injuries and we could enter the 2025 draft weekend armed with some serious draft capital. Maybe this is where we get Diggs' successor, our Von Miller heir and continue building at G and DT. This, of couse, depends on Dorian Williams' continued development, but he's playing well. We don't need to decide yet, but the possibility intrigues me. After all, the best ability is availability and why else would we have used a 3rd round pick on Williams? We used a 3rd rounder on Bernard and look at what happened at MLB. I think Milano's contract has us keeping him for another year so he isn't likely to be released outright, but a trade could mitigate the financial impact. We have time to watch Dorian Williams develop too. Also, Beane has shown that he's not afraid to pul the trigger on an explosive trade. Your thoughts?

$65 million dead cap space says stick with the plan and draft a WR next year. Interior OL and Edge are also high priorities. We want to sign youth, not guys that are starting to fade. Let's be honest. That dead cap space means this is not our year. Stick to the plan.

Given the success of our youngest players and new coordinators, I genuinely feel we should be ranked much higher. I can't say where exactly, but several spots higher.

I can see us adding a speed demon in the draft, but not another big guy like Keon and Mack. Add someone who gives us a different skillset -- Aguy that can stretch a defense and keep Safeties back.

I wonder if they'll trade Milano? I know he's great, but he's injury prone. If we could trade him for a 2nd rounder and a day 3 pick or a 33-43, I'd do it.

It really depends on how the simulation runs and how accurate the input datd is. Go look at the Bills' Madden ratings and you'll see what I mean. There's a blatantly obvious anti-Bills bias at EA Sports. I played the Bills and Jags (on Madden) using my own simulation method several times and the Jags were beating us handily on the regular. Forget the simulations. Garbage in - Garbage out.

I also think there's a learning curve for the coaches and the personnel department. It feels like they are also getting better at their jobs. Beane and his scouts, McDermott, Babich and Brady are testaments to this growth as well. I just wonder how long we can hold onto Babich and Brady before some other team snatches them up.

PFF gave him the highest grade for the MNF game of all Bills. Others with high grades include Kaair Elam, Dorian Williams, Greg Rousseau, Josh Allen, Dalton Kincaid, Jamarcus Ingram, Kalil Shakir, Alec Anderson and Ray Davis. Notice anything unusual about that list? It is replete with rookies and depth players. The future looks bright folks. Add another great, unselfish WR, a Safety, a Guard to compete with Anderson, Torrance and Edwards as well as another stud 1-Tech and we have the best roster in the NFL top to bottom (If we don't already). With our draft capital and Beane's hot hand, that seems like an easy lay-up.

I know we are currently saddled with $64 million in deadcap money (2nd in the NFL), but how do we look for next year? I'm sure things will change over time, but how do things look at present? Will we have money to spend in 2025? While we're at it, what draft picks do we possess for next Spring?

He's going to get plenty of snaps. I expect to see real growth from month to month.

OL, Edge, WR, S, PK, P in no particular order. We need to see how our youngest players develop.
