RB Durability is the main issue here. Its hard to give a man 8 digit salary when the odds say the player will probabaly miss some significant time during the contract. This is changing somewhat, thanks to what we witnessed with Derrik Henry Saquan Barkley, and now Cook and some others. WR became over valued when the league shifted away from top RBs and used the pass to set up the run, but it appears that the run game is witnessing a resurgence across the league to take advantage of defenses designed heavily at stopping the pass. I agree the game is won and lost in the trenches, no RB is worth it if the OL can't create the holes, and same can be said about a DL that can plug those holes and rush the QB. I put a premium on the OL and DL because nothing can really work well without solid lines. No matter the phase the league is in the OL and DL have to work well for the offense and defense to work well IMO

Yes we need to appreciate Cook, whom I feel actually upped his game this season. I was not all on board with a big contract for a RB, but Cook is making the crow I eat alot more tastier Everyone needs to remind thmesleves the reason we could not do a big deal and bring in a high quality WR is because of Cook's contract. I for one appreciate that we kept Cook over having more money to go big and sign a top receiver at the Deadline.

I feel a lot better about our chances after the Chiefs game. We looked good. I hope we are just gaining speed because what matters is how you finish the season, not start it. I've seen so many teams over the years come out of the gates hot only to lose all that steam down the stretch. To me the best teams end the regular season better than how they started it. SO I am glad to see us play such a complete game against a top team. Perspective Matters: Weed helps!

In case you did not know. When Allen was drafted they had all the rookies draw the Bills logo from memory. That was Allen's version. If you did know this, then

I personally needed to see a solid game from this team against solid competition. The win against the Cheifs has given me hope that we can become what we exepected to be down the stretch, heading into the playoffs Now we need to see if the Bills can play this way consistently.

I never thought as Coleman as a #1. I thought of him as a big reciever who would be solid with contested catches I do not understand who thought Coleman as a #1 WR, or why they would. That being said he has failed to make the step up and become a reliable target.

Planning for the worst, but hoping for the best.

We are not paying Von Miller. He was cut and we took the dead cap hit but he is not getting paid by the Bills

THINK MAN, who in their right mind would trade for an injured DT. How about the salary cap ramification to the Bills. It would cost the Bills well over $20 milion in dead cap to trade Ed Oliver. Which means who do you want to cut so we can afford to trade Ed Oliver?

I am pessimistic about any chance of making the SB this year. If we do not make the SB then we neeed to gut salary from the existing roster, and set up for Josh Allens back 9 of his career. However I am waiting ot see how this defense looks with players back. Also want to see some better schemes for the O getting guys open. We cannot simply keep playing the same salary cap dance and expect the team to get over the hump. Beane / McDermott need to draft much better and not have to rely of secondary FA signing to fill a roster out.

its not happening, Kevyn Adams is still employed, less than zero chance McDermott gets fired. What about Beane as well if McDermott goes Beane goes too... No guarentees whomever repalces these guys would do better

Are we going to make the playoffs? the NE Patriots are in 1st place. The wheels are wobbly and could fall off IMO Need to see what the DL looks like after the BYE but I really don't think that is going to be enough to make a huge difference... We shall see, but everyone has the right to be concerned when you witness what we have seen consistently this year

I'll judge this team after we get some players back after the bye, but I am not encouraged. Honestly we need a salary cap reset, there are lots of players making too much money for their level of play. Beane's drafting has not helped much because that is where you get difference makers on affordable contracts. But you got to draft the actual difference makers We need Hairston to come back and make a difference because our DB's are pretty sad as a whole right now. We need LBs because Milano is a bit of a glass tiger these days, and nobody has stepped up here much Our DL has a solid chance to get better after the bye but that is wait and see, and will it be enough to make the rest of the D play jump up 2 or 3 notches cause 1 notch ain't going to do it. WR's are average on their best days. Speed is always nice but there are plenty of WR's who run 4.4 have had fantastic careers. SO either its bad route running or the fact that every season Josh has to get in synch with a significantly altered WR crew and is just not gelling this year early. Coleman just does not use his size the way we envisioned Just my opinion based off the 1st part of our season. I probably have more to say but not off the top of my head right now.

No its not. We just paid Cook so that's where the money went.
