  1. Williams has come a long way in just 1 year to be named 2nd team all pro for the first ¼ of the season considering the injury. Dawkins is pretty average and I wouldn't signing a really good LT and moving him inside where Ford is struggling badly. I think Dawkins would be better inside. Another stud at RG would be awesome too. Feliciano and Winters are pretty mediocre as well.
  2. I can't say how much of our problems are injury related. Perhaps we have several players playing at 90% because they are playing hurt. If I don't know more about this, I can't say we need to replace anyone. Hughes can still play well and we just added Addison and Epenese. We could use a true NT, but no more average DT's please. A CB would be good, but would have to fit our scheme and we have several average CB's so it would need to be a very good player. A Guard or LT (move Dawkins inside) would be really nice, but again, I'd only want a very good one. Same with TE as Kroft is average and Knox hasn't come around yet. If they feel the need and it's a favorable deal, OK, but get an elite player or don't bother.
  3. He's 32 and his performance has been slipping badly this season from years past. This is why Dallas is trying to unload him while they can still get something in return. Maybe he's just not motivated because the Cowboys are bad and their defense is worse.
  4. I was 4 when the Bills were born. I still remember those raucous fans at the Rockpile, the smell of cigars all around, the back to back championships. I've just never even considered rooting for anyone else. There have been players I've admired from other teams like Butkus, Namath, Marino and Reggie White, but as long as they represent my hometown, I will never waiver in my support even if they are 0-16, they are still my only team.
  5. Both RB's played well. This is the same Singletary that averaged an eye popping 5.1 yards per carry last year. We are not desperate. We just need to execute better.
  6. All through the 2nd half I kept thinking about that Bills vs Chargers game where McDermott took over the playcalling from Frazier and the defense went from horror show to hammer time. It wouldn't surprise me if that happened in this game too. I wonder if Frazier is easier to predict and his HC is catching offenses off guard more frequently. If this is the case, McDermott needs to own up to this and start calling the plays for the defense going forward.
  7. 1. Beasley 2. Hughes Josh played OK as did much of the defense and both RB's, but these 2 clearly stood out. I was happy to see Jackson play well, but how will he fare against top tier receivers? Perhaps we'll know soon enough.
  8. Time will tell about Tua. He must be impressing Chan a lot because Fitz was playing very well. I do worry about Miami down the road, though. They have a lot of young talent and they are coached as well as any team in the NFL. Look for the Bills, Patriots and Dolphins to be solid in the future.
  9. Singletary isn't the problem. Our OL is 2 studs short of good. Dawkins is just average. D Williams has played well. Morse is a shade above average. Ford stinks and Winters has been below average. We need big upgrades at both G spots. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.
  10. With Norman out and Wallace on IR, we are VERY weak at that outside CB spot, but who could come right in and play? It would have to be someone that played for McDermott before and I have no idea who that might be, if anyone. I still can't believe they just let Spain walk. I bet they're regretting that move now. I honestly don't see Beane panicking, though. We'll probably just ride this injury bug out and hope we can still make it to the postseason relatively intact. He has shown almost nothing so far. He's been no better than an average DT. I'd rather draft a DT next Spring.
  11. He's no better than what we already have. Why bother? We have too many so-so players already. We just gave Addison $30 mill to pick up our pass rush. We need to start thinking about adding elite talent if we're serious about winning -- especially at DE, CB, QB, OT and WR/TE. Josh will rebound (I hope). Williams looks good at RT and White has played well in the past and hopefully can pick it up again. We're set at WR. We need to add top end talent at the rest of those positions.
  12. If Oliver is going to be Darius 2.0 then OK, but I have no way of knowing. The league as a whole lacks talent at DT except Washington.
  13. I like Engram too, but Washington has 3 pretty good DT's on their roster and any one of them would be a big help. I'm not sure about edge rushers or guards.
  14. He definitely needs more nastiness. I remember Dick Butkus saying his fondest wish was to hit a guy so hard that his head would come off and roll down the field. Aside from his other shortcomings, Edmunds could use some of that moxie.
  15. He'd be the best backup QB in the NFL and a big upgrade over Barkley.
  16. I won't say Dalton is as good as Dak, but he'll be fine and gives Dallas a chance to win their division.
  17. Singletary is fine. Our OL is bad. Our DL is worse. KC's OL is bad too, but we made them look like all-pros.
  18. Aside from lack of a pass rush and edmunds and being unbelievably bad vs the run, we also need a couple upgrades at CB. McDermott should at least start calling the plays for the defense.
  19. This is a fair question. I cringe at the thought of Beane running another offseason. He had almost $90 mill and we are worse off. I really don't want him running any more drafts. He's had hits and misses like any GM, but the misses are really piling up a lot faster than the hits -- especially in the top 2 rounds on draft weekend. Our DL has been absolutely horrible so far. Even Josh was so bad that no one besides the biggest Bills homers will refer to him as an MVP candidate any more. What potential GM candidates are out there?
  20. Both our OL and DL need work. Morse is OK. Dawkins is barely above average and Williams has been very good. Both Guard spots need upgrades. I'd start Winters and Spain at RG and LG. Ford is a real disappointment so far. I hope he can pick it up.
  21. We need to do for CB's what we did for our WR over the last 2 years. We had the 4th most cap space in the NFL in 2020 and we did not sign a single impact player in FA except D Williams (maybe). The Diggs trade was great and Davis was a steal in the 4th, but I wonder if the Bills just couldn't get the guys they wanted to come to Buffalo or Beane isn't as sharp as we thought. Maybe we need to let Epenesa get more snaps and move on from Hughes. Not having a good pass rush penalizes everyone in the secondary.
  22. Sadly, I agree with you on this point, but I doubt they are going to replace either one of these guys soon. They'll still finish their rookie contracts. The real question is whether or not they take the 5th year option on them.
  23. This is what happens when your best LB, both starting CB's and a 1,000 yard WR are out against a 3-0 team. This is not the end of the world. We may well be 4-2 shortly, especially if we don't get healthy soon, but we are not even half way through the season. Relax. Our future is still bright. This is just a bump in the road.
  24. Justice in any place at any time should be applauded and upheld. The only one shading your football experience over something like this is you. Just relax and enjoy the games. It's all up to you. It's no different than someone accusing you of somehow reducing their enjoyment of this forum. Either way, I'm not going to let it ruin the experience and I hope you won't either.
  25. As far as "most improved" is concerned, Allen has a big lead, but Darryl Williams isn't far behind. I think we might give DW the 'Best Former Panther Signed By The Bills' award. That's a real thing, isn't it?
