Fuh k, oh well…,

Knox’s biggest issue is that the FO has taken far to much time finding replacements for Beasley and Brown/ Sanders, ( remember Knox’s production when we had them?). We have been using a WR 3/4 as our 2nd boundary/#2 receiver, (Davis) who doesn’t take coverage away from anyone as of late. Shakir is in effect our New 3/4 receiver, taking Gabe’s role going forward, which imo is an improvement. Kincaid is in all reality our new Beasley, and we are still lacking a #2 WR, to fill John Browns role, which will take coverage away from Diggs and or the middle of the field, until we get our new John Brown we aren’t able to clear out the middle of the field or take extra coverage away from Diggs or our TEs. We have to find our new John Brown this off season, it’s imperative that this happens. When it does happen, all of our receivers will then be facing far more favorable coverages, which is a good thing. It then becomes a pick your poison problem for opposing defenses if they double up a Kincaid or say Diggs…, we got a Shakir, Knox or our new John Brown in good position to make plays, it becomes a win win situation for our offense. Just sayin…,

It’s the damn Russians or Its the damn Chinese or its the damn domestic terrorists or It’s cheaply made outsourced parts I could go on…, 😁👍

A Henry type RB would be certainly nice, but imo, not as important an acquisition as getting a new John Brown type of receiver, but bigger, and ideally through the draft that can go long with speed and be a screen pass option type of thing, a guy who can run an expanded route tree, fingers crossed 🤞

Yup, that speed you speak of comes from the Brown / Sanders replacement, that has yet to happen. Just think of our offense with Diggs, (the new John Brown), Shakir, Kincaid, and Knox, catching the ball, add in the RBs and ya got a pick your poison scenario for defenses, God I hope Beane out does himself in this regard…, we really need this to happen.

This, except we only replaced the Beasley part of those losses with Kincaid, Shakir is the new 3/4 WR, replacing Davis…, we still don’t have the Brown or Sanders replacement, this needs to be addressed this off season, jmo.

Just a matter of time,

Agree, but we do need to draft a quality WR or two one of which will be a starter on day one, jmo.

Run blocking is not what one wants to remember their WR2 for, and sadly that was what happened, Gabe’s chronic/annual ankle injury and his catch percentage over time really doomed his future with the Bills imo, he as said up thread was the best WR4 in the league.

To the OP, that could very well have been the case, but the team going forward, especially the defense will be substantially different personnel wise. The offense will have an OC that will have installed his own system/schemes and is likely to look different as well, with some new guys there as well, I suspect the team will be in the fight all season long, win another AFCE crown, and I hope will go further in the post season, every season is new and what happened last year is no longer relevant.

From what I’ve watched It’s a league with bad QBs that is pretty much a step below NFL practice squads in talent, it could very well “develop” “over time” into an actual feeder league, if it doesn’t go bankrupt in relatively near future, ( the NFL already has a huge feeder league via the college ranks) its business plan will need really deep pockets to keep it afloat long term. I guess it could be like watching triple or double A baseball teams, which can be fun, when I lived in Rochester I liked going to Red Wings games,

Gabe is a good guy, had some shiny moments here, sadly he dropped 45% of his opportunities during his career in Buffalo, when your #2 wr is known more for his blocking than his catching it’s time to move on, anyway, good luck to Gabe in his future,

Yup, Better at it than anyone who posts here, I’m not concerned in the slightest, Beane knew all of this cap fun was coming a year plus ago, and knew he wasn’t resigning the guy from the get go. I’m certain he has this well in hand, but feel free to fret over it,

🙏 So sad, prayers to family and friends.

It is a topic of GRs worth, and should he be paid or let go, when we all know he will be here for the next two seasons, it’s a fruitless exercise presently, it is you who misunderstand your own thread, 😁👍

I love meaningless off season chatter, I especially love it when folk take this nonsense seriously, 😁👍 everyone knows the Frenchman isn’t going anywhere for the next two seasons…,

No its not, at this point its meaningless off season chatter, what we need here is more meaningless combine chatter…, and fire McDermott threads, oh and don’t forget back up QB threads as well…,

Well we are located in rumor and supposition central, so…, yeah its official.

Agree, Actually hitting on the right drafted players and using them with regularity from the beginning of the season onward needs to happen for our defense going forward.

I can’t begin to tell you how much just the thought of such a thing happening would suck…, Another example of the NFL owners Fuh king up a good thing, can ya say Greedflation?

Christ people! I’m going on 65 years old, I can’t keep up the pace of year’s past, it’s time for the yougins to carry the load…,

OT should be a full quarter/fifteen minutes, odds of a tie at that point is likely quite small with all the fatigue of having played a standard length game already, if still tied, the team that misses the first fifty yard field goal loses, lots of drama, ample opportunities for both team to win, it is the way to conduct overtime play.

So y’all gonna have a community pouty competition about when y’all’s fed up with your favorite team then? hope it makes ya feel all warm and fuzy 😁👍

It’s not like any of our “levels of patience” are relevant, it’s Terry Pegula’s level of patience that is relevant, and until he runs out of said patience this is an exercise in futility.

Well, that is an understandable take, those folk are irritating at best. The O & D don’t need to be torn down they need an honest look at what they are doing that isn’t working and make appropriate changes in scheme and in game situational awareness to address the short comings, we have a well above average team that just needs some, imo, minor adjustments.
