So brilliant that the oline has been average at best for his tenure as a Bills GM. I'd argue it's Beane's failure to put together an above average to great Oline that has cost us fans Super Bowl appearences. That's not brilliant in my eyes.

The 49er system doesn't really require a top notch QB especially in the regular season. Their defense is elite and they have an innovative offensive minded coach. The Bills are no lock to win 11 or 12 games. Their division competition is obviously very tough. Not a lot of separation between the Jets and Miami. NE seems to be lagging behind quite a bit. Also, the Bills schedule looks pretty tough on paper. I'm staying away from betting over or under. I think Vegas has it just about right. I think the Chiefs win 12 games so long as Mahomes is healthy.

I was frustrated with the Bills coaching staff in the playoffs. It was very clear they were outcoached on all levels. McD, Fraizer, and Dorsey all hurt the Bills chances last year. I'm still perplexed at the game plan vs Cinci in the home playoff game. They had a little rehearsal a few games before. Looked as though they made no adjustments. What in the world were they thinking? Fast forward to this year and I have some serious questions about Dorsey. Will McD be able to handle D duties and head coach duties?

A lot of assumptions here. It's really yet to be be seen how effective the oline will be. Will Brown improve? Torrance is a rookie. Kincaid offers little in the blocking department. Make no mistake about it the Bills are no power running team nor do they want to be. They will always live and die with Allen's arm and legs. Lastly, will Dorsey commit to the run? Will Harris still healthy? Will they use Hines as RB? How will Cook progress or will he regress?

Fraizer was the scapegoat for the last few years. He certainly deserves much blame but not all of it. There is plenty of blame to go around. First and foremost, Coach McD deserves much blame. No need to go in detail as it's been beaten to death. Also, don't discount that the Dorsey led Bills offense scored a measly 10 points against Cinci.

I don't think they will sign an expensive veteran for a year deal. I believe they will sign a decent stop gap at a reasonable price. Beane will be price shopping. I'm on the record saying go all in on the offensive side of the ball. I know you and many others disagree with sound valid points. With that said, this team has some serious defensive holes at DT and LB.

Not upset at all. It's realistic. The Bills have fallen short for several years of playoff appearances. The coveted prize hasn't been close. They haven't sniffed a Super Bowl. All they have is woulda, coulda, shoulda. They are being hunted by Miami and NY Jets. Both teams appear to be closing the gap on the Bills. Perhaps even passing them. Still I have to give the Bills the edge until they get beat. However, I would not be surprised at all if one of the two teams beat the Bills for the division. That Jets D looks dominant. In my mind, there should be no real debate that KC is ahead of the Bills. Their Oline is elite, Mahomes is a generational QB, and Reid is an offensive genius. Forget about the roster comparasions. Those 3 things put the Chiefs on another level. Cinci has to be looked at as surpassing the Bills. Just watch the playoff game. Burrow is a technician and a surgeon. All he does is win and his WR core is likely the best in the NFL. Their D coordinator is likely the best in the league. I'd add in the Jags and LA Chargers to the list of up and comers; right there to beat Buffalo. However, LA reminds me a lot of Buffalo. They are very good on paper but find ways to lose big games and playoff games. I think a lot has to do with their coaching. Just can't get over the hump. Sounds familar? Both fans bases look forward to next year with differing results. This year should really tell us if the Bills will remain a playoff team and a Super Bowl contender or pretender. These past two to three years were huge playoff disappointments. As a fan, I'm so tired of falling short in the playoffs. I can envision and see the Bills hoisting the Lombardi. Then I realize I'm just having a dream. I wake up only to nightmare like consecutive losses to KC and Cinci. That really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Somehow perhaps unrealistically I feel cheated. Dream on...

You can never have enough oline guys.

Looks like he's on steroids. Reminds me of David Boston.

Steal of the draft at pick 59. Could be an all pro guard for years to come.

Great value. One of the steals of the draft. Has the next Travis Kelce written all over him.

Could be the sleeper of the draft. Pure athlete here.

I guess. For me, I could careless about the Cowboys. I suppose if you dislike them you could get some joy out of what happened.

I suppose. It didn't move the needle for me.

You can't discount the first two picks and then give a grade.

The latter draft rounds are where Beane can shine. Let's go!

Yes

I really like the first and second round draft picks and dislike the 3rd and 5th round picks. However, if Kincaid and Torrance work out the draft will be a success.

Look at last year's draft. The Chiefs jumped the Bills and drafted McDuffie and the Bills were left with Elam. McDuffie looked a lot better than Elam. Not that Elam didn't show signs of progressing. Point being sometimes you wait and get burned and sometime you don't. The fact that Dallas took a TE today certainly bodes well that Kincaid was probably their pick or at the very least on their radar. In short, I was fine with Beane giving up a 4th to get their TE.

Now it makes sense.

What's the inside info on 3rd round pick LB Dorian Williams? I think that pick sucked big time. Wondering what in the world are the Bills doing?

I hope so! Would love to see it!

I get that and it's valid. I guess I'm just tired of the Kromer love. I haven't really seen anything special from him. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not his fault. Just seems like he gets a lot of credit here without the goods sort of speak. Not saying he's a poor coach just not seeing glaring positive results either.

Still waiting for Bown to develop. I think Kromer gets way too much credit with not a lot of results. His oline has been sub par for too long.

It's just one metric of strength. They do the bench press at the combine for a reason.
