Victory Formation

Trubisky keeps this team competitive if Allen goes down for 3-4 weeks. Very accurate, gets the ball out quickly, takes care of the ball.. Pretty much a perfect fit for the Erhardt-Perkins offense. Premium backup, I’d argue that he’s a better player than Cam. Trubisky has never had weapons like this.. I mean, Diggs, Sanders and Beasley.. their strengths as receivers play well into what Trubisky does well as a QB. This could turn into future draft picks... if not you have a great backup for years to come. Our season is over if Barkley ever saw the field for an extended time, Trubisky can manage games and keep us in it.

Unless we get Ertz.

I don’t think so, not necessarily. He could be a great developmental prospect. What would you do if you could sign a talent like Trubisky for $2.5M? Trubisky could potentially yield future draft picks if this plays out a certain way.

I hope so. Hopefully it means a deal is getting close.

If we don’t get Ertz, I think it’s pretty obvious that we’ll be drafting a TE this year. I do think Knox will improve, I do like his potential and I do think Sweeney may actually turn out to be decent. But no Lee Smith, no Tyler Kroft, we clearly have an obvious void there. Would love Ertz.

I’m not going to pretend like this wouldn’t help them. Mims, Davis and JuJu is a solid 1-2-3 punch but in the end it doesn’t matter, they won’t catch the Bills.

You know, I’d rather have Trubisky than Newton. I actually think Trubisky would fit New England’s offense extremely well.

This scheme just seems so perfect for a player like Trubisky.

Draft DL, trade for Ertz. You end up overpaying for marginal talents at DE, just draft one. Drafting a good TE is harder to predict. One may go top 10 and then in 3-4 years they’re simply a marginal talent. Think Ertz is a proven commodity, an elite one at that, which would cost less than an average DE.

Me thinks this as well, timing is strange.

Brown missed a lot of time though.

Ertz would be incredible. I think he could easily produce for another 3 maybe 4 years. His stock is low, won’t cost much and could potentially contribute at an elite level. He would be a major piece to this offense. Hunter would probably destroy our cap situation, I want Carlos “Boogie” Basham Jr, EDGE, Wake Forest.

The way I see it.. Even if Sanders isn’t what he once was, he will still be an excellent #4 WR. Let’s say Davis is lights out, Sanders can get you 45-60 catches. That’s a BIG upgrade over Isaiah McKenzie.

I got a bad feeling about this.

I thought I remember watching him way back when.. one of the players I wanted the Bills to draft.. Elite speed IIRC.

Is he a returner also?

Right, but I wouldn’t give up more than a 4th for him, which this year we have none. Unless they’d make a player for player trade?

Ertz would be incredible. Wouldn’t want to give up too much for him though, a bit on the older side. Maybe a 5th?

Dalton never had much of an arm, neither does Burrow and although I love Burrow and I think he will be a great QB, he doesn’t necessarily have an elite arm, he’s more of a surgeon. Ross could be deadly if paired with Allen. I do think he would be an upgrade over McKenzie, especially with Daboll using Ross in design plays to get the ball to him. Wouldn’t pay a whole lot but yes I do think he would do a lot better here with Allen & Daboll.

Sure, they may give you little tid bits to create media attention and fan interest but they’ll never really tip their hand in any way. Haven’t been to buffalobills.com in over a decade.

I don’t believe a word that comes out of any GMs or coaches mouth.

A big part of it is Brady. Without Brady, nobody wants to play there. Keep in mind that NE has been hated for years, not just a little bit of hatred, but deep boiling hatred and disgust. We Bills fans are not the only ones who hate them, but much of the NFL does as well. I could see 9 wins for them this year but I also think these big signings will hamstring them greatly in the future post Belichick. Think this is desperation on Belichick’s part. Brady leaves and wins a Super Bowl without him. Not even against a marginal team but against a formidable Kansas Chiefs team lead by Patrick Mahomes in dominant fashion. Belichick is now left with an okay team, a good team, not a great one and it looks like he may never win the division again, let alone the Super Bowl. These big free agent signings will screw them in the future. They had to overpay by 20-25% for just about every FA they signed. They are neither rebuilding nor contending, eventually their cap situation will implode and they’ll be left digging out of that hole for the next 3-4 years trying to get out of it. By that time they’ll have a culture of losing.

I actually think the Op showed quite a bit of insight. Many fans are expecting a big signing, but I’m not. Not saying we won’t make any moves, but I highly doubt we make a big one.

I’m okay with this and I think you’re absolutely right.

Peterson has lost a step physically, but mentally he is as sharp as a razor blade. Will make plays, will play at a high level because of what’s between his ears. One of the smarter corners in the NFL, would be a fantastic option to play opposite of Tre.
