That’s right. It’s been said plenty, but the roster is what it is because Beane’s early picks haven’t reached their ceilings. And in addition to being on second or third contracts, the rentals are also older and more injury prone. Someone called Beane a used car salesman. That’s harsh but I get the analogy. In his defense, he’s been aggressive with the cap, but unfortunately, he’s reaching max capacity with a plateauing team. No more room for hired guns.

Their defense, top to bottom, will be one of the best in the NFL. And that secondary allows them to bring an aggressive pass rush. Allen will have happy feet by the second drive, but hopefully he can muster a few big plays to keep it close.

All signs point to the Bills getting trounced in this one. Jets have the momentum…home, Rodgers, 9/11, etc.

They got a fantastic RB tandem assuming they’re healthy. Nice mix of youth and experience and both with explosion and versatility.

A loss would be a “chalk it up and move on” situation after a tough opening matchup. Jets have all the momentum and should win the game. Bills can get back on track quickly though.

Quick out to Diggs. Incomplete.

Most teams wouldn’t ask the question because the answer is rather obvious. Bills might since they were favorites.

To be fair, the basis on which Allen still gets compared to Mahomes is the :13 game. Both QBs were terrific in the clutch. Outside of that game, well, Mahomes is already a hall of famer and Allen hasn’t accomplished much of anything.

I’ll stick with 10-7 and a razor thin wildcard berth.

I'm not sure about defenses having to make tough choices against the Bills. You send pressure and roll coverage toward Diggs.

The roster is declining because Beane can’t hit in the early rounds. Everything else is over-analysis.

Kincaid will develop into a good, pass-catching TE but will take some time. I have higher hopes for Torrence who could be that decade lynchpin this OL desperately needs. The rest are scrubs.

McCoy looked washed in Cards camp. He's another Barkley.

Have to assume practice squad status would temper Wentz's personality issues. Can't imagine there's a better option for an emergency QB.

Not every single team is a supposed Super Bowl contender. At this point for this regime, the standard is high. The Bills have more question marks than most other contenders.

I could see the Dolphins pivoting from Taylor to Bosa. They seem to be all in on the Rams model.

That’s right. The mistakes have already been made. The trade today wasn’t one of them.

No clue. But I’ve seen Ifedi.

They have a capable run game and a terrific defense. They’ll find a vet QB which is a better plan behind Jones than Zappe anyway.

Oh Beane😔

LB is a major issue obviously. Perhaps too is relying on White, Poyer, and Hyde to stay healthy. They still have three guys stacked at CB2 on the updated depth chart, so maybe we get the platoon bonanza. And there's no reason to think this DL is improved as far as controlling the line of scrimmage. Lord knows when Miller comes back.

That'll go through a day or two of editing.

Beane is good at throwing bodies at roster holes. Just missing ability.

Today's 53 is in pencil on the back of a napkin.

The division should be tight. If Allen aggravates the elbow and misses 3 games, let's say, being able to win 1 or 2 of those could be the difference in making the playoffs.
