Who’s doing this now?

Here’s why we’re better at receiver now. If you look at the way our offense operated since Brady took over when we got hot last season, Diggs became more of a decoy to suck up double coverage in order to open up Cook’s impact along with Kincaid and Shakir’s underneath contributions. Davis was a non-factor during the stretch run. Diggs sulked not getting touches and lost his aggression and his edge. This year we have a proven weapon in Samuel that thrived with Brady at Carolina along with Coleman who is a demon on contested catches and has that edge that Diggs had earlier. Shakir has emerged as the dependable 1st down machine that Josh has come to trust. The addition of MVS is a big plus. He had nice seasons with Rodger’s and Josh makes everyone better. Look for him to be a prime deep threat. Considering we got nothing out of Sherfield or Harty, the new additions should be an upgrade with Hollins being a versatile guy who blocks well and is a good locker room guy for the young players. Throw in Knox who will be better in the 2nd year of Brady’s handling the 12 personnel offense. With the emergence of Cook as a matchup nightmare out of the backfield, this offense should be dynamic after playing together for a month. We would have been going backwards with a malcontent as our #1 and it would have compromised the development of our new additions.Bills fan should be excited.

Since Kincaid will catch 65 balls if healthy by himself it’s a no brainer.

Curious to why people think Miami is more of threat than NYJ?
Probably because the Jets have to prove they can be a playoff team before people jump on the bandwagon. Rodgers is recovering from Achilles surgery and is 3 years removed from having over a 100 QB rating and is over 40 now. With a new O-line and a new receiving corps, why would you think their team would unseat the 4 year champs with arguably the best QB in football. Miami at least has been competitive in the division the last 2 seasons.

I could just see the 24 year old professional cheerleader telling Bill, “ Just do your job big boy “.

Who in their right mind would give Dak 50 million a year? He can’t win a big game. He got embarrassed by GB in the playoffs and that’s just the most recent failure. He loses games that he should win. The Bills and Miami blew them out. He lost to a crappy, decimated Philly team in Philly. He beat Detroit when the refs missed an obvious call and the Lions didn’t even need the game. Dak’s just a serviceable QB who can’t come from behind and when his running game is not clicking he can’t win with his arm. I guess the Cowboys have to pay the going rate because rebuilding is not in Jerry’s DNA. It’s an insult to give Dak Allen or Mahomes money.

This guy is going to crush the team in big spots and you can bank on it. Evaluation of our kicking game has been sorely lacking by the brain trust. He has different mechanics from his early seasons. His kicks tail off much more than the solid strikes you see from the top guys. His confidence is down from the amateurish misses in the playoffs and he probably thinks Sean will go with him no matter what. My prediction is that they are forced to replace him by mid season.

Cool he's training with Moulds. Seems driven... heads on straight... gotta root for him.
I wonder, of all the players on the team, why the Bills decided to do an in-depth video on Shakir.
They picked him because he’s the best wide receiver left over from last year’s roster and Josh’s favorite target in the playoffs, plus he made all the clutch catches against KC. He represents the most improved big play receiver on the team. He’s not a diva and just produces.

Gregg Rousseau and AJ epenesa....
When we took defensive ends high... With Gregg ,AJ and boogie
The goal was to always have the cream rise... They develop them slowly... Especially AJ... Who had a complete body transformation
They limit their snaps and location to keep them fresh.. along with the rest of the defensive line
But when you make pics like this... Sure you want quick impact... But generally there for 3 or 4 years down the line... When they are seasoned veterans in NFL strength and conditioning programs
Now... We have two massive starting ends... Tall and long... Great disruptors in the run game... Gets their hands in the passing Lanes on quick throws
AJ has honestly.. one of the best first steps and get offs in the NFL... He routinely wins off the snap
Gregg is 6'7 270 pounds... Came into the NFL extremely raw... The sky is the limit we just haven't seen it fully... He's a beast in the run and will start manhandling tackles
AJ it's probably the best hands up swatter in the NFL... You can't throw a swing pass or screen to his side... He is so long and athletic.. he's going to get another interception or two this season
This is why you draft defensive ends high... Multiple.. and let them develop
I'm going to call it now they're going to wreak havoc all year.. and we are going to have two of the biggest most tenacious D ends in the NFL
We've been waiting for this... They are going to feed off each other and disrupt quarterbacks and running backs all year
I think they both could be impactful but I need to see 8 to 10 sacks and several RB tackles for losses before I anoint either guy as a successful early round pick. Rousseau bats down some throws AJ has some nice pressures but neither makes enough game changing plays so far. I like your optimism but Oliver and a healthy Jones are our dominant lineman so far. We need sacks or strips in big spots from edge rushers.

Kid’s showing maturity and acting the correct way and I’m rooting for him. He was a projected as a fine receiver coming out of ND and just lost his way. Keep it going Chase, if anyone can resurrect a receiver’s career it’s #17.
-
Cook is going to be a top 5 back in the league as soon as he improves his receiving. He’s a matchup nightmare but drops wide open balls. As far as his rushing prowess, I like him as much as anyone.
-
Elam’s problem is that he hasn’t been coachable and insisted on relying on his athleticism to play the position. He didn’t change his approach even after being downgraded on the depth chart. Basically, he should have been moved while he had trade value but teams hate to admit whiffing on 1st rounders. I’ll believe he can play the position effectively when I see it, until then he’s a stubborn head case.

Knox didn’t deserve that contract and it’s hard to understand why they gave it to him. He’s not durable and still drops too many catchable balls. If he emerges this season with Brady carving out 12 personnel plays for him maybe they’re seeing untapped potential in him. I personally would rather have an effective blocking TE with Kincaid being a primary target and Josh having better protection.

its a mini rebuild year IMO.... We are making hard adjustments to be able to re-ante for Allens back 9
With Allen anything is possible, but it will require some significant steps up from the players around him. I need to see them play a bunch before I can tell you which way that will trend
Next year we will have cash to spend and will make a splash or 3, this year making the playoffs would be an acheivement given the roster youth turnover and the need for those new faces to get acclimated in the systemNo rebuild necessary. This team will be better equipped to compete with different personnel. Remember Josh makes receivers better and with Kincaid, Shakir and Samuels getting Diggs targets and a new OC approach with Cook being more involved, the offense will be harder to defend. Throw in Coleman, and Davis and this offense is better than last year. The Defense is going to be better because Poyer and Hyde weren’t great and Milano is back. Miller can’t be worse and we have Douglas for a whole year. I like our chances.

I was an 8 year old visiting my sister during Christmas vacation at UB. We went to a game at the rock pile and watched Kemp, Gilchrist and the awesome Bills defense dominate the Babe Parilli led Patriots. After that, I was hooked.

I have told this story before, but my grandad was Czech, fought in the Polish army in WW2. He was captured by the Germans and put in a prisoner of war camp but managed to escape and make it to France where he was hidden by the resistance and eventually made it to London after the war. He eventually met my grandmother, they married, had kids (including my mum) and then at 61, just before I was born, my grandad had a massive heart attack and died. My grandmother would still go back to Poland and Czechoslovakia (as was) every few years to visit his family and in the early 90s was in a shop with her friend in Poland, overheard English speaking voices and got talking to an American brother and sister who themselves had family history in Poland and were back researching it. They ended up going for dinner, became friends and in 2002 we visited them in California where they now live for a family holiday. It was August and there was a Bills pre-season game (Lions, who else) on the TV and despite living in Cal they were from Buffalo and the guy is a huge Bills fan. So my dad (who had watched bits of the NFL when it first came to British tv in the 80s) and I sat down with a beer to watch the Bills game with him. I was hooked instantly, from a single, pretty ropey pre-season game. In those first few years as a student about to go of to university watching the games was impossible so I'd just follow the scores online. But in 2006 or 2007 Yahoo had a link up with the NFL and did an international streaming service. It was ropey as hell, buffered all the time, and the picture quality was terrible... but I subscribed. Then after a year the NFL took it in house improved the service and developed International GamePass and I think since 2008 I have missed one regular season game (Saints in 2013 under Marrone because I was at Wembley watching the 49ers instead).
Nice story. You’re a legitimate fan l that has bled internally along with the rest of us .

Well, last season at least. He's a concussion concern going forward regardless and tying-up almost $200M in guaranteed money isn't what they want to do, or should do. I've heard that they want series of bonuses to hedge their bets, but I doubt Tua/his agent will agree.
Do you think he can take a team all the way? If they have a killer defense and an O-line that protects and opens holes, I guess he competes, but they’re nowhere near that profile, especially after the losses on their D-line.

That’s right, determine a guy like Williams, who showed flashes and closing speed, is not any good after one season. He didn’t get on the field much last year anyway. Give him a chance.
My apologies, you didn’t dismiss the guy. You’re right, Sean never had confidence in the kid and buried him in the doghouse.

Thought we drafted Williams last year for this. instead, that douchenozzle McDermott decided it was better to have Klein try to cover him after spending the season on his couch planning family vacations.
personally I didn’t want Williams, there were much better TE killers out there in the draft and he didn’t want them. Then he drafted that other kid this year. Maybe one of them will eventually be able to cover Kelce after he turns 40 and can’t run without crutches anymore.

Looking at the roster, the schedule, etc. The team needs to win early and often.
Realistically with all the new WR’s & newish coordinator - I don’t see the offense carrying the team early. It may take a while to find the right pieces and to evolve an identity. I can see lots of 2 TE sets, passing in the middle, running the ball and grinding it out - while missing on long shots down the field (timing, familiarity, scheme fit).
the defense will need to be ahead of the O and keep points off the board!After 6 or so games, things should start clicking on O and by then we are in the tough parts of the schedule and need that to stay in the playoff hunt.
if Von looks the same, Milano is still recovering form, the safeties are meh, etc it will be a bad start, and in a hole by mid season. Needing Josh to go hero mode to save the season again. He will be banged up come end of the schedule, playoffs.
what do you guys think about the start of season defense?
You’re panicking without knowing what both units will look like. Just remember our receivers were MIA at the end of last season and Josh pulled games out of his rear end. O -line should be better with one year playing together under their belt and an improvement at center. I say the receivers and TEs are better this year and our backs led by Cook and Davis should be improved. On defense, our safeties were old and getting dominated. The addition of Edwards and the 2nd rounder from Utah with Rapp will be better in run support and as good in Sean’s zone defense against the pass. Without a healthy White, and the addition of Douglas, our corners were effective last season until KC. If we get anything out of Elam, I see improvement. Resigning Jones, AJ and Rousseau in a walk year means our D-line if Miller is healthy, will be as good or better if the FAs and drafted guys give us anything. With Milano back LB should be our best position group on defense. The teams that line up against us early have plenty to defend against with vastly different personnel and a highly motivated #17. I like our chances.

Tua is a great kid and has shown that he can stay healthy over a full season. I hope he gets a long term deal mostly because he’s just not good enough to win in a division with Josh and a conference with 5 superior QBs.(Burrow, Mahomes, Josh, Herbert and Lawrence) He’s also not great in cold playoff venues. If Miami is keen on breaking through, they should trade Tua to a team in the NFC and try and get a young stud in the draft while their great receivers are still young.
-
He’s a long, gangly, undersized edge rusher who has not gotten meaningful pressure so far. He tips passes and chases down runners but will he be worth going all in with a 2nd contract? He needs to explode with sacks and game changing plays this year or he’s done here.
-
It took 3 years for the Bills play callers and game planners to realize this guy has developed into a big play, clutch receiver that consistently gets separation and catches everything. You want to classify him as #2 or #3, be my guest, but he will be one of Josh’s primary targets when games are on the line. I think Coleman and Samuel will be great long term additions and our Kincaid is probably the best TE not named Kelce in the AFC, but Shakir has chemistry with Josh and wants the ball in the biggest moments. I’m very optimistic about our receivers and Cook as a matchup nightmare out of the backfield. Good luck covering these talented young guys and protecting against Josh running wild.

Who's to say that the Bills won't bring in any players from the UFL once their season is completed?
Hopefully they will and get this important piece sorted out.
I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

At the expense of your #1 getting a fraction of the targets as in Digg’s case, the answer is no one receiver will command double coverage until he establishes himself as the main target. Look for Josh to spread the ball around with a balanced attack featuring Cook and Davis running and catching balls downfield.
