He is good, not great, but he is certainly our best back. I’m not a big fan of anyone behind him though.

Motor has always been good, fans were hard on him for no reason.

Honestly? The one thing that stood out to me the most was our DL. Just seemed like through all four quarters of the game that they consistently brought it. We have very good depth here all across the board. Tyler Matakevich and Andre Smith to me looked awesome, if not very good. Seems like we have good depth behind Edmunds, Milano and Klein, so I feel pretty good about this unit as well. Davis Webb I thought looked good. Surprisingly athletic and he seems like an okay backup. I would rather have him than Fromm. Singletary was very good, and I’d rather have Antonio Williams than Breida.

Rousseau was great.

I’m a Trubisky fan. I think Bills carry Allen and Trubisky, no need for a 3rd QB. Fromm goes to the PS.

Dude, you just rhymed!

Yeah, but be honest. Who would you rather talk about? The Patriots have an interesting storyline and the Redskins have faded into obscurity for the last 30 odd years.

He was a great back, although I think his YPC is a bit lower than it would have been had he played in a different offense. The Colts ran the wishbone and single back formations quite a bit because it opened up options for Peyton by spreading the ball around and by giving him multiple receiver options. For power running teams, I think these are weak formations to run the ball out of, but it’s better for pass happy teams. Edge was good. Consistently good, similarly to the way Curtis Martin was, 4-yds and a cloud of dust. I think consistency and longevity says something. For this reason I think Gore will get in someday as well.

I think with what Edmunds brings to the table and what his role is and what we use him for, he just isn’t worth paying $13M, $14M+ a season to. I think if Edmunds gets paid big dollars, it’s going to be by a team that wishes to use him as a pass rushing LB. Similar to the way the Cardinals use Reddick and similar to the way the Bucs use Barrett. Edmunds will never be an Urlacher, Kuechly or Lewis type of MLB. He does not have the instincts for that. He could thrive however in a defense where his responsibilities are dumbed down a bit, but we just inked Milano to a blockbuster deal to fill that void, so I’m having a hard time thinking that Buffalo will also sign Edmunds to big deal as well, given that we run lots of two LB sets with a big nickel, so he will primarily be a Mike if he stays here and not a WLB. Edmunds has not reached his ceiling, mainly because he is playing out of position. He has more value to other teams than he does Buffalo. Once again, as a pass rushing LB who can drop into coverage, he’s quite useful, especially since he has positional versatility and experience as an ILB as well, but ultimately, the Bills chose Milano to fill that role here, not Edmunds. Paying Edmunds big money to play out of position could prove to be deadly for Buffalo. Not only because Edmunds is a liability at MLB, but also because we would be paying big money to keep him, especially when he would have more value playing for other teams at a different position, ie WLB. Ultimately, I think we made a mistake keeping Milano. Buffalo should have drafted or signed a true MLB and Edmunds should have been bumped out to WLB.

Precautions I’m sure. Once the season is lost, I’m sure they’ll put him right in. Gardner Minshew is Fitzmagic 2.0. He doesn’t have the tools physically of a good QB, but there’s no denying that he is smart. Let Lawrence pick his brain for 6-7 games and then trade Minshew for picks next year, I’m sure someone would take him.

Once again, I think it’s because of the level of difficulty that they face. QBs like Allen, Rodgers, Mahomes and Prescott were essentially thrown into the fire as college QBs, so when they went to the NFL, it almost made things easier in some ways because the talent differential equalized. It’s much different when you have Nick Saban as your HC and your fed baby food throughout your career. By the time they get to the NFL they still can’t handle solid food.

Or Wyoming. Generally speaking though, big programs like Alabama and OSU produce very few decent QBs, let alone great ones. Too many star players around them and when they get to the NFL, they no longer have that edge and it’s not so easy anymore. Obviously you can’t rule out X player because he went to X school. If we did that, we wouldn’t have Allen, but the difference is, Allen stood out as a man amongst boys on a very weak roster. Burrow, Hurts, Jones and Tua etc were literally just cogs in the machine.

Oh, that’s right… his pec. Was it Ford who had the shoulder issues? Anyways, I’m right with you on Ford. I think he’s average at best, but he’s their golden boy, they traded up to get him so they’re reluctant to admit that he sucks.

Feliciano? Was it his pec? Or was it his shoulder? I don’t remember. I will say this, I am excited to see him at LG and Ford at RG. This makes sense to me. Anyways, as far as Williams goes.. I don’t see him as an elite player but I’d put RT only behind LT and OC as far as importance goes on the OL. He’s making what? $8M-$10M a year? That’s great value, I can’t complain.

Allen belongs in the top 4-5 range and Diggs I would put in the top 10. I think barring injury and when the dust settles, we are looking at two HOFers here. There is no better player to build a franchise around than Josh Allen with the exception of say, Pat Mahomes (arguable). Sure, there’s players like Aaron Donald, generational players nonetheless at other positions, but will a DT win you a Super Bowl? With Allen in Buffalo, that’s what the expectations are. Diggs I think will prove to be a stat machine. He’s a top 2-3 WR in his own right, but with Allen getting him the ball, the dude is going to continuously dominate teams relentlessly. Honestly, he reminds me quite a bit of Marvin Harrison. He has that same level of talent. Good worker, hard worker, exceptional route runner with insane change of direction skills and with the way Allen can get the ball in there, all Diggs needs to do is break free by one step and he’s going to come away with the ball. I’m also positive that TreDavious White will end up on this list somewhere. Where, I don’t know. He’s an elite CB, but not a generational talent by no means. He is worth every penny of his contract though, I will say that.

Outside of LT, I can’t really think of too many positions along the OL that are worth paying top dollar to. Sure, $12-$14M to a guy like Dion Dawkins is just fine, but would I pay a RT $19M? Heck no. Or a OG $14M-$15M? Heck no. I think a case can be made for center, though. Give me a good OL, not an elite one. Good lines will give your QB plenty of time to throw. You need an elite line to ground and pound, which is so unbelievably outdated at this point. A great LT and a great OC is basically where your big money on the OL needs to go. Solid, meat and potato players are fine everywhere else. I think Daryl Williams and Spencer Brown kind of fall into that category. I’m not talking about sucky players like Mike Williams or Langston Walker. Ideally you would like to spend money, big money anyways, on QB, LT, WR, C, TE, DE, CB, S and MLB. If you have star players at these positions and solid players to patch in the holes everywhere else, your roster is in prime position to kick some ass.

Thing is, I do want a new stadium but we are a small market team. I do not expect the Bills to spend lavishly. I’d be happy with a $750M stadium! Maybe Terry can go halfsies with NYS. Tear down RWS stadium and just put up a cost effective dome there! Tailgating stays the same, location stays the same. They can host concerts, WWE events and random other venues in offseason. Have that puppy paid off in 5 or 10 years no problem! Come up with a cool design, cut capacity which will also cut traffic and congestion. Be smart about it.

Okay, I’m literally in tears right now. Why is my boy Boogie buried under the depth chart? 😰

I think Trevor Lawrence and Trey Lance will above average QBs in this league. Lawrence will be pretty decent right away, Lance will need 2-3 years of seasoning but has a relatively high ceiling, a boom or bust prospect. Not high on Wilson, Fields or Jones.

Reed was ridiculous, you’re right. For me it’s either Reed or Polamalu as the best safety of my time. I feel like Sean Taylor would have been considered a HOFer, if not an All-Time great had he not of been murdered.

Probably the best safety I’ve ever witnessed as a millennial.

This will come up for Diggs at some point. He’s a top 1-3 WR in the NFL. Sooner we pay him and make it right, the better off we’ll be. We only have 3 “elite” players on this roster. Allen, Diggs and White.

I get really concerned when it comes to character concerns. I don’t expect choir boys by any means, we all make mistakes, I get it, we’re human, but I do think character matters. Coachability matters. I do think having a team full of smart players matters. I do think having a team full of smart players that work together as a team will beat out diva players, on me first rosters any day of the week. Give me smart players, team first players, hardworking, lunch pal players who will work as a team. Especially since we’re working within a salary cap. Don’t necessarily need stars at every position, just players that do there job in cohesion with the rest of the team as a whole.

It doesn’t surprise me.

Na na na na Na na na na Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!
